Cody Walker refuses to sing national anthem at State of Origin

[Precise]

There are a heap of things we can change about our great country, but it all begins with one thing... becoming a republic.

Once that's done...

- change the flah
- change the anthem
- change Australia Day to whatever day we become a republic is (but please, keep it in Summer - February will do).

No.

GOD SAVE THE QUEEN.

 

[JUNKYARD DOGS]

Damn this is still going on.

NEW ANTHEM LYRICS!!

Aus-tral-ians should just all step back,
and leave poor Cody be.
He does-n't like the an-them much,
it's not for his fam-ily.

Nor Addo-Carr, or Cham-bers too,
But no-one seems to care.
Jump upon the bandwagon,
fuck Advance Australia Fair.

You stand enraged, who gives a shit.
Advance Australia Fair

Beneath the sta-dium bright lights,
You know I'll tell you what.
If you just stand there si-lent-ly,
You'll just look like a twat.

You try to take a stand on things,
But no-one seems to care.
Just sing the an-them you dumb *****,
Advance Australia Fair.

In joyful strains then try to sing,
"Advance Australia fair!"

So, what was the final head count of those not belting out the Anthem?

Most of the divide these days is on the aboriginal side...
No matter what Australia does there not happy
Country said sorry for something none of us done...not good enough
They have every opportunity every other person has ... not good enough
They get more hand outs, payments , scholarships than any other race
Not good enough
My sister won a scholarship to uni...20k that’s for every race.... except if your aboriginal because if you win that one it’s 30k
Can’t win it if you’re white, or Asian or Lebanese or Latin or African ...no your have to fight for the 20k between all of us
But we will give out 30k ones but only qualify if your aboriginal
That’s racist, imagine a white only scholarship...the fucking uproar
How bout these boys do something useful, not sing8ng the national anthem does shit in helping anyone... nothing
How bout donate your 30k match fees to aboriginal communities who are rife with alcohol drug and sexual abuse problems
You have little kids continually getting raped in these communties on a large scale
How bout helping them
Coz not singing the national fuck8ng anthem is a guna help
Fucking pathetic

Geat post spot on

 

[maroondog72]

Since your part aboriginal I'm surprised at your stance.
I dont live in an ivory tower mate, nor am I a city slicker. I live in cairns where we have a very large aboriginal population, and I work right near two different aboriginal communities.
I agree you cant help people who dont want to be helped, but to a degree. This doesnt mean that we should not try though.

Then you should fucking know better

People are pointing to the anthem protest and how that affected Walkers performance but maybe it was because he's an Origin rookie and just didn't have a good game?

Gagai didn't sing the anthem either and it sure didn't affect him...

 

[maroondog72]

Mr I clearly has an agenda here. Maybe he is just racist. Maybe he just has it stuck in his head that his view is right and everyone else is wrong. In any case, a thread like this would probably have been shut down a long time ago, but because it suits his agenda he leaves ot open so that he can just shout down guys like you and I for having our opinions. What a clown.

bit like yourself really

 

[Bob dog]

Who cares, some people see Australia as a disgrace.

 

[Wahesh]

So, what was the final head count of those not belting out the Anthem?

I definitely caught 3 from NSW - Code Walker, Josh Addo-Carr, Latrell Mitchel. Do people see a trend there?

Chambers, Gagai, Haas and Napa didn't sing it either and Gagai got man of the match.

They're smart though, they didn't sook.

Not only did Walker refuse to sing the anthem, he refused to play last night.

What fark is there in the words that make them upset;

Australians all let us rejoice, For we are young and free;
We've golden soil and wealth for toil, Our home is girt by sea;
Our land abounds in Nature's gifts, Of beauty rich and rare;
In history's page, let every stage Advance Australia fair!
In joyful strains then let us sing, "Advance Australia fair!"

Beneath our radiant southern Cross, We'll toil with hearts and hands;
To make this Commonwealth of ours, Renowned of all the lands;
For those who've come across the seas, We've boundless plains to share;
With courage let us all combine, To advance Australia fair.
In joyful strains then let us sing, "Advance Australia fair!"

I heard some gibberish about them objecting to "young", FFS Walker is 29, that's pretty young. Maybe he's missed the bit about "let us all combine", note the word ALL which includes you as well.

Go Dogs

 

[Mr Invisible]

Hodges sings the anthem.

 

[CroydonDog]

Hodges sings the anthem.

Good for him.

Me too. Instead of “young” they’d like “strong”....

There's a difference between not singing the anthem and protesting the anthem. Walker was in the news all week leading up to the game and there was quite abit of controversy. When you're on debut you don't need all that distraction and scrutiny.
