The spectators have been identified and issued breach notices.

One of them was a Panthers member, whose membership has been suspended pending the investigation.

How good is Ben Hunt looking with a real 5/8 next to him?
Still not worth close to 1.2 mill but good on him, I'm enjoying watching him play .

What's the racist connection, I don't get it ? What's ethanol got to do with Inglis and racism ?

It's a racist stereotype that Aboriginals sniff petrol.

What's it based on, this stereotype?

 

[Browny]

The fact a lot of homeless aboriginals sniff petrol etc to get a cheap high

But let's be fair here - it's not just Indigenous people doing it. Unfortunately, they're just over-represented, the same way they are for many illegal activities, and that doesn't help when segments of the community keep perpetuating the stereotype.

I see.......so it was Milford's fault Ben Hunt finished his career with us totally devoid of all football skill.

C'mon.

He is still floating in and out of games. He still goes missing on around the 4th & 5th tackle. I don't see that much improvement tbh.

Don't put words in my mouth.

What did you mean by "with a real 5/8 next to him?"

Someone who hasn't looked like a prop for a year and a half

 

[Super Freak]

The two spectators that racially abused Inglis have been issued life bans unless they take sufficient steps to address their behaviour, such as apologizing and completely approved cultural training and education.

Something tells me they won't..

 

[Nashy]

Can someone tell me how they actually enforce the bans that they hand out? It would be impossible wouldn't it? When you walk into the stadiums, the security guards pretend to look at your bag, in you go.

 

[Sproj]

Facial recognition software? When spotted, the stadium flashes red signs, an alarm and armour wraps it up before it buried itself in the ground?

Seriously though, it wouldn’t be hard for these supporters to just use a fake name to buy them and get in whenever they want.

 

[Foordy]

Entry staff/guards would be aware who to look out

I've worked plenty of footy games in my time, we were never made aware of a single person who had been banned fro the ground.

 

[Foordy]

Wow, that’s cray cray. I’ve worked security too and we were made to memorise faces and names of undesirables.

Were you on the gates?

yep ... at times ... been a couple of years since i worked a footy game, so things may have changed.

 

[Battler]

That kick was more like the Hunt we all know and love. Straight into the legs and momentum changes.
