On a lighter note, I was at a swim centre yesterday with my 3 year old, and glancing at about 5 or 6 kids swimming near us she asked me "Why are they black?" (They were Africans).

I was being touch sanctimonious, but I find the pages and pages of threads a bit disconcerting.
Your daughter's comment was amusing though ... what was your reply?!?!
They should only play AFL games now when it's raining. Slow games of footy are so much better to watch.

Firstly, I was impressed she noticed the difference and asked the question.Oh When the Saints wrote:saintspremiers wrote: But what about the Somalians OWTS???

Reply was - they're from a different country (not that she's been overseas), spoke about her friends that had different skin tones to her (she's got olive skin), and how they come from a place with a lot of sun!
It's a toughy to explain to little one, but it's a daily challenge at the moment......her favourite word, used a thousand times a day, is "Why?"

You should have mentioned melanin (in three-year-old terms), otherwise she will think that if she plays in the sun she will turn black too.

Iagree with most comments especially in blaming the WCE Football Club.There has been a number of discressions and they continued to cover up and pretend that everything was okay. I'd just like to remind all you folks that our Bakes got hung out to dry and was penalised for 7 weeks and Cousins does three months rehab and allowed to play, that is not fair. The AFL need to get a grip on this and be more aggressive towards the WCE and let them know they are on notice.
And just to let ya know how a 14 year old boy feels abot this, his comments were exactly this, gun player, great roll model,what a waste and maybe end up like his mate.

excellent documentary on the ravages of ice if you have good broadband and forty minutes to spare.
very dangerous drug (if that's what he's hooked on).
however doesn't change the fact that the guy is a champion d*ckhead and has let down everyone who cares about him

Funny, but a lot of those two thousand will have substance use problems themselves and/or mental illness.Oh When the Saints wrote:I don't really care.
I'd rather spend five pages debating how we can find the two thousand homeless people on Melbourne's streets each night a place to sleep.
The guy is under 30, male, has a substance use problem, is mixed up with violent friends, has lost his girlfriend not long back, one of his best mates even more recently and his career is blown. He's a fallen idol. Anybody know what links all of these points?
They're all risk factors for something. He's as vulnerable as all hell. This whole situation can get worse and become even more tragic. I hope it does not.
While everyone is casting around around to throw rocks at this guy consider these facts.

i think it should be taken into account that he came to a club that by all reports had an extreme drug culture. of course he is an idiot but he has an illness and i think people are bashing him too much. hes got the rest of his life to regret his actions so that should be punishment enough.
