      While we're calling for Goodes to not be booed, we need to make sure we're not booing Thomas and/or Boomer lest we be seen as hypocrites.

        And (yes this sounds odd I know) cheering Ziebell for taking a stand.
        It's very hard to live in a studio apartment in San Jose with a man who's learning to play violin. That's what she told the police when she handed them the empty revolver.

          Might have to reconsider my view of Norf if they pull this off.

            Adam had been awarded an honorary doctorate by UNSW for his community work. Gave the speech at a Law graduation.

              Still wearing red and white I see. Is that the colour any honorary doctorate recipient wears or is that Adam's choice?

                Wonderful contribution by the NMFC. Congratulations to them for taking a stand on this issue.

                  I presume it's UNSW Law doctoral colours. Nice choice though.

                      At least he'll have a lot of friends who will enjoy arguing on his behalf.

                      I think his actual award was a Doctor of Letters. ( is that D.Litt.?)

                        Another article on Adam, tucked away in the Business Section:

                        He reminds him of the guys, close-set, slow, and never rattled, who were play-makers on the team. (John Updike, seeing Josh Kennedy in a crystal ball)

                          A good article to email on to ...... Sam Newman for example!

                            You're right is is D.Litt - the uni's highest honour! Here's the article: Adam Goodes awarded UNSW?s highest honour | UNSW Newsroom and a pic with the Dean of Law and some indigenous students who were graduating. BTW I hate Norf but will change my mind if their supporters have the class not to boo Adam tonight (at least not until after his fifth goal and taking our Harvey).

                              I love the last paragraph in that article. Someone should send it to Ed.

                                Great initiatve and leadership from Norths - exactly what this farcical situation requires. All credit to them.
