And for the Italians.I think we need players in kilts to celebrate Australia’s great Scottish heritage. And for Melbourne’s proud Greek community... the zorba, but still in kilts. But then mashed up with the haka.
How many more indigenous weeks, welcome to countries, smoking ceremonies etc will it take to reach the threshold of "embrace"?
I'd boo and moon them and then yell "Come at me bro".Scared? I would moon them as well.
100% this.Haka at sporting events is bullsh@%.
One team gets to psyche themselves up and threaten to remove the heads of the other team, even if it is the other teams home game, and the other team has to accept their right to do it or else they will be labelled insensitive.
I'd boo and moon them and then yell "Come at me bro".
That's the same attitude that had Dusty's Dad deported.
If you don't like Maori.
Don't be a Dusty fan.
Whoa bro, whoa, i wis jist gitting a bir from my chillybin bro......no need to melt mate. And you’re correct in your assumption. I was being very cheeky. We should have an 80’s style rap off instead. Complete with cardboard bases. I think the game needs it.

Now that I think about it, no.Youd bare your arse at a group of burly blokes and yell "come at me bro"?
We've seen some notable haka in recent years in footy - for the likes of Moana Hope and Dustin Martin and so on...
Australian Maori have a long heritage in this country.
Will we see their cultural influence continue to grow as the broader Australian fan base hungers for more than just hokey, jingoistic 'club songs' for their identity?
It would take some brave clubs with Maori players to be the first to introduce their own haka...
But once introduced, I'm sure all clubs would follow suit.
Australia, like New Zealand, has a long Maori cultural history. Haka would bring vibrance, entertainment and uniqueness to the AFL.
Ffs we need a scandal. Something. Anything.
Come on journos lurking here. Find something. Anything.
Hell, even rerun some ben cousins, daniel chick stuff.
Anything
100% this.
It is a complete joke.
I like Kiwis, in fact I think they are generally nicer than Aussies, but **** the Haka at sporting events and **** any idiot who supports it.
Should be a level playing field.
