NMFC statement re Australia Day

[gerry101101]

you need a statement from the club to teach your kid about social issues?

And wheres the line? I personally dont think footballers are great role models for kids.

Many of them are not. But some are.

Just like posters on here.

The reason for the statement is obvious.

Avoid the first question? Lucky the club is there to teach your kids.

You got me. I’m a terrible parent for exposing them to different views. Thanks for the insights.

I mean most footballers would be poor role models.

However this statement has less to do with that and more to do with being on brand for the club.

Which it is. We’ve made practically the same statement year on year for ages.

We had Kyron Hayden talk about his grand mother being part of the stolen generation and we posted a video of that on Australia Day. Kyron was delisted 4 seasons ago. So any sort of statement is not remotely new.

Zero issue with the club taking guidance from our indigenous players on how we approach this.

We are obsessed with peripheral issues. At a time when our men's team is historically bad.

Agree would have won the flag this season otherwise.

So it’s not all Rawling’s fault? :stern look

Interesting to know how many other clubs have issued statements today.

Collingwood haven't? Shock horror.

Edit* so turns out Collingwood have. Good on them. They're learning slowly

I'M BAck from both rallys. I actually went to the Sydney 'change the date' at 9am then got the red tie to Melbourne for the afternoon Patriots rally which I thought was the NFL team. Sadly I think the SuperSonics will be to good in the decider. I'm thinking of doing a road trip to the final if anyone wants in.

Yes. 39.9 to 60.1 is unanimous
