“The Socceroos aren’t just a team. We’re a reflection of modern Australia.”
A desperately needed message for Australia, and Australians of all hues and backgrounds.
Bravo @Socceroos!!! 👏🏾 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Mohamed Toure and Nestory Irankunda.
Both born in refugee camps.
Both grew up in South Australia.
Both played for Adelaide United.
Both are Socceroos.
They're making their World Cup debuts together.

“Wominjeka, welcome. Enjoy the game.” Uncle Colin Hunter Jr. says as a packed MCG erupts in applause. 👏🏼
Welcoming to Country ain't goin anywhere. Know this.
How can a person’s mental state unravel so publicly that it’s obvious to fans in the nosebleeds, yet go unnoticed by his teammates, coaches, and even his own brother?
He was left completely exposed and alone. That’s more than an oversight, it’s dangerous negligence.
Elijah Hollands.
Granted, that wasn’t a good look.
Sad to see him struggle.
As a community, if we’re serious about mental health and wellbeing:
Instead of bantering and making a mockery of him it’s better to offer support and hope he has strong help around him.

I’m sure I’ll get ridiculed for this, but given the events of this week, can we just go easy on Elijah Hollands? At least until we hear from the club (if we do).
We are calling for the AFL to negotiate with broadcasters to replay as a minimum, at least one game in each state/market on Saturdays.
Saturday is a traditional footy day.
But we need your help - the bigger we get, the stronger our voice is for the fans.

@FanaticsFerrari What’s the point of this sport? Was that entertaining to watch for anyone? You have cars coasting into corners to “recharge the battery” FFS. Formula One used to mean something.
