West Coast Eagles defender Lewis Jetta reveals his part in Adam Goodes's Aboriginal war dance

http://www.abc.net.au/news/2018-08-16/w ... tion=sport

The AFL Indigenous round in 2015 has become known as the scene of one of the most controversial spectacles in AFL history.

Now Lewis Jetta has spoken out about the war dance performed by fellow Aboriginal footballer and friend, Adam Goodes, which prompted a torrent of abuse and by the end of the season had brought about the retirement of one of the greats of the game.

It was the AFL Indigenous round in 2015 and, for well over a year, Goodes had been the target of serial booing from fans, after calling out a member of the crowd for a racial slur.

The Swans were preparing to play Carlton in Melbourne and in the lead-up to the game Jetta, who was playing for the Swans at the time, hatched a plan with Goodes that whoever kicked the first goal would perform an Indigenous dance.

"Goodesy kicked a goal and tried to do it straight away," Jetta recalled this week.

The dance Goodes performed was a war cry created by a group of Aboriginal teenagers from the football development and leadership program, the Flying Boomerangs.

The members of the squad are the best young Indigenous players in the country and get the chance to represent Australia.

"It was just like any other celebration," Jetta said."He [ Goodes] was just proud to show he is Indigenous and proud to show the young guys that created it on TV how proud he was. In the Indigenous camp we practised with the Flying Boomerangs. They travelled overseas doing their war cry, so we thought if we kick a goal we will do that as well. I think all the Boomerang boys would be very proud of it. It is something they created to represent Australia overseas against other countries."

TRIPLE CHASE


Poor Anna... she has to go to work early in the morning, and the Giants/Dodgers game just wouldn't end
:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
It ended up going 12 innings, giving the Dodgers an extra three innings to hit a triple
But alas, no triples by the Dodgers tonight

As was posted in the contest thread...
MANY people would agree that a TRIPLE is one of the most exciting plays in baseball... especially when they slide into third base like in the above video :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
A Triple is much rarer than a home run, where even the best triples hitting team averages no more than 1 in every three games.


So, we brought something new and exciting tonight…our first edition of TRIPLE CHASE!
We had a list of three of the best teams in the league for hitting triples, and all we had to do was guess how many triples combined these three teams would hit — our choices were NONE, ONE or MORE THAN ONE.

Colorado Rockies
Boston Red Sox
Los Angeles Dodgers

As the night went on, there were TONS of triples hit today... far more than normal
The Mets actually hit THREE triples today
The following teams all hit one
Cubs 1
Oakland Athletics 1
Philadelphia Phillies 1 (against Boston)
Kansas City Royals 1
Washington Nationals 1

But, as you can see...

NO TRIPLES were scored by any of our teams so the correct answer was NONE

8 people picked NONE

SPORTS CENTER CONTEST #194

DAILY DOUBLE


For Friday Night, as usual, the boys will be over to watch MANY games of Baseball across multiple screens while we discuss upcoming Fantasy Football Drafts...
There are some great match ups for Friday Night
One game of the "haves" and one game of the "have nots"
So it's time for a DAILY DOUBLE
This will be a Daily Double, and you know the drill. You will have to make the correct prediction on BOTH games to win.

INFORMATION
GAME ONE

Milwaukee Brewers 68-55 at St. Louis Cardinals 66-55
In the National League Central Division, The red hot St. Louis Cardinals take on the second place Milwaukee Brewers. The Cardinals have won 9 out of their last 10 games while the Brewers have been slumping, winning only 4 of their last 10 games. Both teams need a win to try to catch my first place Cubs :D
It's a pretty even match but the Brewers are just a "slight favorite"

GAME TWO
Kansas City Royals 36-84 at Chicago White Sox 44-76
Obviously, this is the game of the "have nots" :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
Both teams are rebuilding, and currently suck :D
They have both looked totally awful this year

The FAVORITES are in Bold and Blue

What is it?
This is a Daily Double so you will need to predict the winners of both events to win your share of the pool

How do you play?
To enter this contest, you will need to post the following:
DAILY DOUBLE
Pick either Milwaukee or St. Louis
Pick either Kansas City or Chicago

EXAMPLE POST
