He might have whined a bit, but that didn't justify the amount of booing he got. The racists were hiding behind the others, and got away with it. Nicky Winmar was not a whiner. And that is Sir Doug Nicholls, a man I was lucky enough to meet when I was just 9. (Shut up, TBomb, before you stick your ...

No I don't think it is. If it was they wouldn't have said anything about it. The issue is the threat of reducing the number of games on FTA right? Putting them on streaming services instead - or on Foxtel. The government is right - you can't do that, under the current law. The number of games now h...

How many were booed? adam goodes was not booed because he was “first nation” he was booed because, althou...

Would need to change the law…a bit late..next time maybe,,not saying the governments position isn't the way to go…just too late.

suns played two games in NT against demons and kangas which were not added to suns average on GC and were attended poorly at both.. they would of been attended poorly on the GC as well. also as you already know and freddy stating it number of times. 3 highest attendances for the SUNS were against R...

It lasted three seasons, not one. 1898 to 1900.
