    Disappointing to read

    Is disappointing but he is definitely right that he is gonna keep copping that. He better harden up and not let that sort of crap bother him. Not saying this is right, but I can't see the masses of Australia changing overnight to be honest, so get used to it.
    Go you mighty BLOODBOYS!

            When would the Swans have played against Balmain?

            I wonder if they're referring to Belconnen.

              A bit over the top me thinks and another fine bit of sensationalism in todays media.

                I don't think it did.

                  Really ? It didn't sound at all serious, but it seems to fit both of the obvious criteria (race based abuse).
                  Before you criticize a man, walk a mile in his shoes. That way you'll be a mile away and he'll be shoeless.

                    Are you for real,if you are serious then you are soft.

                    If its race based abuse thats 1 not both criteria.

                      Of course it's racist, but nobody is going to get upset about it.

                      Murphy isn't and Undy isn't, I certainly think it's a bit of a joke myself, but it is racial abuse.

                        Obviously enough to go and tell the media about it. Leave it on the field man...will make your life a lot easier in the long run.

                          Pretty easy to laugh off witless sledging like that.

                          Good to see he got 18 disposals though.

                          He'll be fronting for the A side next year for sure -- earlier perhaps?

                            Get with the program before criticising the young bloke.

                            This is an English/Irish publication. No doubt the journo wanted a story on how things were going in Australia and I have no doubt he asked him how he has been received.

                            He obviously made some reference to being sledged and there you have it in print.

                            Hardly a case of 'telling the media about it' as if he made a complaint or anything.

                              I agree. It is opponents trying to see if they can get a bite out of him & put him off his game. His is playing professional sport now & has to realise that players will try and provoke him with anything they have to upset him.

                              He has to fire back with stuff. That is the way things are done in this country. Or better still, tell his teammates so they start an all-in in solidarity with their new team-mate.

                              By going to the media opponents are only going to do it twice as much, thinking he is a sook.

                              The last time I looked Irish were Caucasians like us. If an Aussie was copping @@@@ playing in Ireland I'm sure he'd give back as good as he got, possibly with a fist!

                              And we wonder why they stopped the International Rules tournament when you see how butter soft the little leprechauns can be.
