Not really an off season incident as such, but what are people’s thoughts on Melbourne cutting back their Welcome to Country prior to games?
My opinion of them went up in notches. I don’t need to be welcomed to my own country by some grifter. Especially considering it’s not an aboriginal custom at all it’s just a joke Ernie dingo made up in the 70’s

I believe the judge considered the bad publicity Ezra Mann has coped
Really? for driving a car, on drugs and causing bodily harm to another family with it, that's automatically jail sentence for anyone else, and no more licence, like forever, not this slap with wet lettuce shit

Regarding the Ezra Mam situation, many people would apply the principle of 'What if that was me' or the average Joe?

There is no way that the average Joe would have gotten that punishment and that commentary.

He'd have been fined to the point of having to sell his home, received multiple convictions, imprisioned for years and condemned by the judge in the harshest possible terms.

The Judge in this case is completely appalling but by gosh - you'd think quite a lot of strings were pulled for things to land where they did.

This is just another example of the decay of institutions in Australia (and western world generally). It's not social media - or 'misinformation' that is a fault here - it's the extremely poor standards and leadership of the institutions themselves.

The kid deserved a chance…

It’s not easy being a well paid footballer. The racism, losing a GF….being in the spotlight. That’s the definition of adversity.

Let’s not forget he went to rehab, for a few weeks and only because he had too but he’s worked so hard to turn his life around. Imagine going through all this then have a magistrate use really mean words. The magistrate made a strong point and hes said he is sorry.

That and he only had a cocktail of drugs that may have impaired his driving ability but I’d say it’s because he’s never done his driver training.

Why punish him further…
