That’s one big slab of stoush going on there, Darlene. The footy club’s crossed a line, I reckon: no doubt there’s lots that we don’t know about this man and what drove him to murder-suicide, and no doubt in his time he was someone the club regarded highly. But when someone’s committed murder it’s wrong for a public organisation to make a public gesture of mourning for them in this way. I can totally understand why the dead woman’s son is so angry.
