Great Job, Collingwood.
No punishments for Collngwood supporters making racist remarks.

Strange position given Eddie's demands for zero tolerance regarding people making racist remarks; although the St Kilda supporter didn't say anything racist.

Re: Great Job, Collingwood.
On a more important issue though they have actually come through and deserve praise. There is a little girl who died recently and was ambassador for Zadie's rainbow foundation- the Pies apparently changed their training so she could come down and see them. They had made heaps of hospital visits and did heaps- all are wearing rainbow sleeves this week end to show respect to the family.
they also came out to our Auskick sending Cloke, Reid and Pendlebury. Several came out to the primary school and sent a good contingent. We are inner south east and haven't seen a single saints player in two years at the Auskick or school. We should be doing the same as it gets the kids really up. We are in the Moorabin saints junior footy league and have heaps of little saints too.

Re: Great Job, Collingwood.
I reckon their PR department would be very keen to actually find the culprits and punish them, they don't want 'racist' attached to the brand one bit. Sounds like they just couldn't find them... Could easily not be members.

was good to see the Saints promoting their similiar work recently.

The little girl is a friend of the families kid and they certainly didn't promote it. They were actually really genuinely involved and put in a massive effort to do everything they could. They seem to be into making players socially responsible. Lots do soup kitchens as well. Hope Watters does push more on them.
Re: Great Job, Collingwood.
Think your a bit hard. Didnt Collingwoodfc ban a member last year. To be fair to all club, it's hard to do anything unless the culprit is a reserve seat member. It was said on 360 that they were walk up general admin.
Good on the pies fans who dobbed them in.

Re: Great Job, Collingwood.
Gringo- all clubs have an area for Auskick as designated by the AFL and all go out- so if Pies are doing your area they would not be doing others- the saints have Seaford/ Frankston and the peninsula,
they are out there.
they are out there.
