Re: Russell Jeffrey
Calm down kids.
I think Sebastian is entitled to feel the pain of the “Slur” …..
Clubs are targets…
The …isms live outside the blood stream, they are in the open air…
We hate them..we reject the insinuation the humiliation and projection of labels onto us..
We react and act out..
The “show me one example of x, y or x happening because of a,b, c” is now labeled too, and marked for ‘contamination’..
Anyway, media and society and particularly people wanna find a home for the isms, a corner for them to sweep the rubbish and toxins , and a footy club, especially a male, a white male, organization is a pretty safe target.
Footy clubs are like Bikini Atoll. Just bomb ‘em.
Accuse the club, call it ‘toxic’, because it can’t be about humans, it can’t be, cos then it’s you and me we are talking about. It is ‘the club’…
Unless we single out ONE solitary human, and call him (its usually a him) evil...for showing his dick in a dic pic, or for shooting up a school full of kids.
Whilst no doubt organizations have structures that allow humans to get away with stuff, the stuff they are getting g away with or doing isn’t in the DNA of a club..
Rhetorically you shouldnt say, ‘show me one example”
It’s too subjective anyway.

Re: Russell Jeffrey
I often wonder why arguments and conflict over race occur so often on forums ,particularly sports forums
Are we that stupid not to be able to avoid it. Racism is being addressed adequately in so many other areas ….why do we bother doing it here .?
Ignore and talk saints

Re: Russell Jeffrey
Here some Saints related content. Its free to watch in full on the AFL site for anyone interested and easy to ignore for anyone who isn't.
But if you watch it and deny that the league was rife with discrimination, ignorance isn't a valid argument.

The league was rife with discrimination
I was simply trying to suggest we ignore or at least avoid the conflict on here regarding racism and focus on the footy
But if I’m in the minority on that then knock yourselves out

Re: Russell Jeffrey
For the sake of conversation... and I’m not suggesting I believe this, but of the players listed in the ‘flops’ category, one was sacked a few months after signing a contract.Sebastian Tombs wrote: ↑Tue 31 May 2022 6:40pmCan you give some examples of a player/players who were effected by a "discriminatory environment"Impatient Sainter wrote: ↑Tue 31 May 2022 1:12pmYou have wonder how those 'flops' would have gone if they had a supportive and non discriminatory environment the current players mostly enjoy?

I forget what the offical reason was... something to do with not meeting training commitments and contract breaches.
We all of course suspect there was a particular triggering event as to why he was sacked so abruptly.
Now I don’t remember many other contracted players being sacked by our club in the preseason even in the context of a major off-field scandal. IIRC it’s a bit of a big deal now following the incident in 2003 when Capuano was sacked during the season. I believe the rules changed after that stopping clubs from being able to do that.
Lawrence was sacked as well following an off field incident but I think they waited until after the season was over?
Either way, many players have major off field discretions. Many have issues with not meeting training standards. Almost non get sacked in the preseason of their first season of a club, after being traded in at some contest, on a reasonable contract, after being brought in for a particular skill set that isn’t replaceable at said said, whilst said club is contending for a premiership.
Lovett seems unique in this respect.

Re: Russell Jeffrey
For all of you on here who cant tell the Difference between Discrimination and racial abuse maybe should go grab a Dictionary , As someone who was standing that day in the outer I can answer the following - Did Nicky Winmar receive the most disgusting slurs based on the colour of skin YES HE DID , Was Gilbert McAdam called the most vugler things based on this race YES HE Was , Was Stewart Loewe , Robert Harvey , Dean Rice and Peter Everitt (I can name the whole team because where i was standing no one got left out) called every disgusting name under the sun YES THEY WERE , Did I get hit with a empty beer can full of urine YES I DID , Did I get spat upon YES I DID and was I threaten with violence YES I WAS so if you were in Red , White and Black on the field or in the outer the flith crowd didn't miss any one.
Now if my original question was can you provide a example of a St Kilda player being racially abused then the answer of Vic park 93 is right but that wasn't my question , my question was in149ys of clubs existed can you give me one example of a player being Discriminated against because the colour of their skin. Now all you with your HOF tags can call me names and show how "cool" you are , but funnily enough you still can't answer the question I asked

There is no doubt that Cuz suffered racial vilification and discrimination while employed and while performing his role at the St.Kilda football club. You are playing with petty semantics and aren't even close to correct.
Let me educate you.
https://humanrights.gov.au/our-work/emp ... rimination
The RDA protects people from racial discrimination in many areas of public life, including employment, education, getting or using services, renting or buying a house or unit, and accessing public places.
The RDA also makes racial hatred unlawful.
The St.Kilda football club is now a safe place for Aboriginals to work and view the football, because Winmar and others, took a stand.
They have harboured, and honoured, known paedophiles as well, and have recently moved some from life membership.
St.Kilda aren't to blame but they could have acted earlier.

Re: Russell Jeffrey
Such a shame that Russell didn't play 100 games for us. Same with Dean Anderson and Brett Bowey. So typically unlucky for us.saynta wrote: ↑Tue 31 May 2022 11:43am Russell had two stints with the Saints, 1987-88 and 1990-91 and played a total of 42 games and kicked three goals. Well he was a backman. He also played 8 games for Brisbane in 1992.
His son Joel is starting to set the world on fire.
I remember Russell telling the then coach that the Saints needed to recruit more "black magic".
Pity it has taken the club 30 odd years to wise up.
St Kilda should never trade with Essendon and Sydney ever again!!!

While many indigenous players do have amazing talent not sure race in any way should be a requirement to recruit or not recruit.
We all recall the great ones - Winmar, McAdam, Narkle, Muir and the good players - Clarke brothers, Jones, Jeffrey but there have been flops also - Greg McAdam, Campbell, Milera, Charles, Winmar(not Neil Elvis), Murray, Lovett
All recruitment some hits some misses.
What is great is the club has in place now a great system to help young players integrate into the AFL system and use experiences of those that came before them
If you didn't miss it and if you don't mind me asking, seeing you are a guardian of our clubs history, why do you think Nicky made such a public statement. One that would be hard to ignore.

Learn to pronounce
adjective
adjective: discriminatory
making or showing an unfair or prejudicial distinction between different categories of people or things, especially on the grounds of race, age, or sex.
"discriminatory employment practices"
I think you will find opposition players and fans have been treated like that for over 100yrs of going to that s*** hole of ground , dare I bring up history but go and read up on how Neil Roberts was treated during his playing days going to that ground
So if your going to use the term discriminatory , least learn what it means
Rugby League would have to be the stupidest, most moronic and over rated game of all time.
