Makes it hard also to get a fair go when the local media are usually leading the lynching party.

If our esteemed neighbours ever got the pointy end of the stick like we do the whole WA media would be up in arms demanding fairness.

The only article defending Pav was the one He wrote himself. Lol.

That is just the way it is I suppose.

About says it all.

No doubt they'll jump on our bandwagon when we win a premiership.

We're going to have to be especially good to do so given we also have to overcome the umpires and the tribunal though. Imagine if we were involved in a one point grand final like the eagles, but were given our usual treatment by the umpires. Would make it tough to get over the line.

When it comes to the ump Freo plays dumb footy. CC has come out and said players are putting themselves and their emotional reactions ahead of the team. CC's got my backing with that one.

Bout time the players got smarter about how they go about being agressive on the footy field.

Thats ok. When you are playing for the dockers you can sit down with Johno and talk about it.

You wouldn't be suggesting a white conspiracy against Freo would you? Still a generalisation about race.

Freo will never be a great team if it uses a us against them mentality and chases shadows that may or may not exist. Lets hope the team doesn't believe in this stuff.

You have to be living in a glass bubble to not realize that abbos STILL get treated relatively poorly in this country. And I'm not talking about the AFL. The amount of old ******s still alive who bad mouth abbos is amazing, please go down to a nursing home or talk to your grandparents if they are still alive to witness it.

Yes yes abbos get the better welfare (not that much more, but it's there), etc. However I'm surprised they haven't raised up against the government yet, because to them it was bull**** what happened when we arrived.. it's like if 20 million muslims arrived now... would "AUSTRALIANS" be happy? No.

So now, who runs the tribunal/AFL? It's relatively old people who would still be somewhat prejudiced against them. Only ~50 years ago we were still putting them in camps. During the childhood days of some of these guys who run our country and various systems. Mind you it doesn't excuse any of the aboriginals behaviour, but this game we call life has them playing with 1 broken leg. If you can't see something from a non biased perspective you're about as good to the world as a meat robot.
