very true, both parties have managed to shoot themselves in the foot but the FFA look like the bad guys, as long as they learn from it :wink:

Melbourne Knights have lodged a complaint to the Human Rights Commission on the grounds of racial discrimination ... and may pursue legal action
Melbourne Knights FC intends to see out the process handled by the Human Rights Commission in the hope of a resolution.

Failing that, the Club has already retained legal representation and is ready to challenge the FFA’s National Club Identity Policy in the Federal Circuit Court.
Looks like "Charlestown City Blues" beat them to it.

What has changed? My guess is the constant governance stoush has emboldened the clubs and tired the FFA. Still, a welcome move from my perspective.

It will be interesting to see which NPL clubs revert to their former names and which don't.
