Ongoing racial abuse in the AFL… “it really puts us down and makes us not feel good”…..

The 2023 AFL season kicked off with some of the largest attendance crowds ever recorded- but sadly racism again raised its UGLY head following the racial abuse of Western Bulldogs Aboriginal player Jamarra Ugle-Hagen.

Twenty three reported incidents of racist abuse in April directed at players either at games or in social media suggest the problem will not go away easily, particularly when taking into account the number of unreported incidents across the nation.

Despite condemnation by the AFL of the racist abuse on Twitter, Lucas Santos a lecturer at Monash University’s Intercultural Lab, Faculty of Arts says the AFL needs to be more decisive on the issue.

Listen here :

Dr Santos is currently investigating racism within the Australian Football League (AFL), with a particular emphasis on how fractures and tensions across in the wider Australian society reverberate through sports.

While AFL appears to be getting back to normal in the Centre – Mayor Matt Paterson says “we can all agree that there’s been a lack of investment for many years into remote communities.”

The recent stand off between the Alice Springs Town Council and the AFLNT has ended following a meeting between Mparntwe / Alice Springs Mayor Matt Paterson and AFL CEO, Gillon McLachlan.

The Town Council had banned the Community Football competition from Traeger Park prompting AFLNT to redraw its fixture, which council did not approve so council then banned all football from Traeger Park. AFLNT then threatened to withdraw the Melbourne Demons V GWS Giants Game from Alice Springs.

Alice Springs Mayor MATT PATERSON flew to Melbourne last week to meet with AFL executives, the outcome of the meeting sees footy back at Traeger Park and the Melbourne Demons game in Alice back on the fixture.

Mayor Patterson says he thinks it’s a good deal for Alice Springs.

I don’t want this to be seen as a political football – playing politics with football and all the other things… Michael Liddle.

A motion put forward in March by Alice Springs Town Councillor Michael Liddle calling for Alice Springs to stop hosting the Sunday country AFL competition meant community football games would no longer be played on Alice Springs Town Council grounds. Counselor Liddle said the town can’t afford the anti social behavior that bush AFL brings to the town on weekends.The upcoming season will now have to consider playing games in communities hundreds of kilometers away from Alice Springs. The NTFL said it was disappointed by the decision and that there is no evidence showing community football brought anti-social behaviour to Alice Springs, with research actually showing it had a positive impact in the town

“This is the time that the light has to come on now we are at a point in time where our identity is being questioned – how can we have knowledge about country when we don’t have knowledge about ourselves and where we’re going ?”……Michael Liddle

A time out where people can sit back… take a step backwards… and make a plan of how we can manage this…. Floyd Doyle.

Floyd Doyle talks with Alice Springs Town councillor Michael Liddle about why council took the decision to suspend community games at its grounds in Mparantwe/ Alice Springs.
