Went to the 50 year reunion at the G, Collingwood vs St Kilda a few years ago when the saints got up after Riewoldt and McCartin were knocked out by half time. My son (who was 5 at the time) and I (we are of Hispanic decent) where cheering on in the last few minutes taking it all in when about 5 Collingwood supporters behind us (who had given it to us all game) all poured their beers on us and proceeded to tell us to piss off back to Arnhem land you black c**T's and support a real team.
My son was traumatised by the whole thing and hasn't been back to a footy game since. Security was on them in a second with other people also holding them.
I know it's only a small percentage, but it just happens so often with that club more than others. I've heard racist taunts before plenty of times, but always hear the most out of the Collingwood supporters
Far out thats not right.
Sad that your son cannot enjoy AFL now.
I’m really sorry to read that. Awful actions and words always have consequence.He actually won't go anywhere that has mass people now. He's also autistic so it was a big push to even get him there in the first place, but he relented and even got excited to have his face painted (he never let anyone touch his face).
He was really enjoying himself up until then.
Reckon Eddie calling Goodes King Kong was a fair indication of some racist connotations at the time .Don't know how it took a bloody commission into Collingwood to find out it was the most racist club in the land...only have to look as far as the supporter base really. Littered with racism.
Very sad.He actually won't go anywhere that has mass people now. He's also autistic so it was a big push to even get him there in the first place, but he relented and even got excited to have his face painted (he never let anyone touch his face).

What a sad story mate. There’s dickheads everywhere but you managed to be unlucky as hell that day. Fancy pouring beers on kids as well. Shameful.He actually won't go anywhere that has mass people now.

I feel like the coke stuff is not really that surprising or shocking anymore . Let's be honest any 18-35 year old who goes to bars has done coke in the past or uses it recreationally. It's when the person gets severely addicted then that's an issueSo its off season, already missing football..
As the thread says, no rumours that you heard from a mate's mate partner, etc but something either you witnessed yourself or direct from someone you trust 100%...
Only one iv got is something covered to death really haha my cousin was on a footy trip in sydney, at a bar, most of the Sydney team rock up, my cousin goes to the toilet, hears some long "sniffing" in a cubicle, no one else in there, then hannebry and buddy walk out wiping their noses...no guesses...
On a side note, he did say hannebry was a w***er par excellence, parker and goodsey were top notch blokes...
I am so sorry to hear about your horrible experience. I do hope that the time comes when racist thuggery is given the punishment it deserves and you and your son know deep in your heart that you will always be safe going to the footy.Went to the 50 year reunion at the G, Collingwood vs St Kilda a few years ago when the saints got up after Riewoldt and McCartin were knocked out by half time.

Reckon Eddie calling Goodes King Kong was a fair indication of some racist connotations at the time .
Can't remember his exact words but he basically did . Where have you been living , Epstein island ?He didn't call him King Kong, that's complete bullshit.
If you can't remember what he said, why try and smear him? He didn't "basically" call him King Kong.Can't remember his exact words but he basically did . Where have you been living , Epstein island ?
Cause Eddie is a ****ing racist everyone knows it except you obviously . Anyway I don't argue with idiots who drag you down to their level and win with experience as you obviously have plenty of . Au revoir and **** off .If you can't remember what he said, why try and smear him? He didn't "basically" call him King Kong.
Fair enough he attacked me . Dry your eyes princess .Tone it down, bud. Just sayin'.

Terrible that happened to you, double that it happened with a child there. Glad other supporters helped out. Unfortunately every club just like every country and every race have racist shit bags in it. I don't think it will ever be stamped out and all we can do is call it out when we see it.Went to the 50 year reunion at the G, Collingwood vs St Kilda a few years ago when the saints got up after Riewoldt and McCartin were knocked out by half time.

I dislike Ed as much as any non-Pies supporter. But I truly don't think he was saying Goodes is a Ape, he should be in a gorilla ad. Do you really think he's that stupid, even if he was/is racist ? He got called an Ape by someone else and there was an ape in the ads, he made the link as a joke. Doesn't mean he thinks he is one.You're right, Ed just strongly inferred Goodes would be a good fit for a King Kong promo due to being recently called an ape while playing footy.
Those are such different things
But why are we even talking about this? Move on. More rumours please
Oh well that clears it up then.I dislike Ed as much as any non-Pies supporter. But I truly don't think he was saying Goodes is a Ape, he should be in a gorilla ad.

No one's arguing Ed's a dickhead. But do you truly think I guy who's smart enough to run a football club who's on the radio talking about racism is stupid enough to say something overtly racist ?Oh well that clears it up then.
