Apart from the idea that any due homage should be done for its own sake, and not in the service of some ulterior motive, it also requires acknowledgment that South Melbourne Hellas has for most of its existence refused to engage with those histories.

This nonsense that there is a direct link to a club from the late 19th century is what flames the fires of those who attack our club. We look stupid and I hate to say - desperate.<br /><br />How people can get annoyed at Lynch's article is beyond me. He did not attack the club, merely outlining a few bones of contention. The less said about that individual who you cannot see his twitter posts, the better. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
