    "IF" and when they do it, they must learn from their mistakes and have the goals face the other way - sun. Or just make a full on dome, permanent in-doors venue.

    By then, we could all be pushing up daisies. Sorry dc...

    The 4 clubs chained to Etihad Stadium will all be dead by the time that slag heap is demolished.

    Wayne Jackson must be so proud of his legacy.

    The AFL should buy out the contract today so Victorian clubs can atleast try and make money...!

    Once again we are reminded that Islam is a religion of peace.

    Find a fanatic or two, give them some weak minded followers and add a dose of ideology .....

    arguments of equivalency suggest a lazy level of apologia

    treat each case on it's merits if you want to contribute, moonie

    Agree generally with each case on its merits dc, and the Paris actions are indefensible, but perspective is also useful tool for response.

    Just heard on the radio that the crowd forced to evacuate the football stadium in Paris did so singing the national anthem.

    What a wonderful example of humanity's ability to rise above the malevolent evil and violence of a bunch of thugs and cowards.

    So, since you seem to be more confident in your knowledge of these than the French security forces at the moment, what are the ‘merits’ of this chain of atrocities, Daisy?

    I’d have thought that Moonie’s point is that we might need to get beyond knee-jerk religious labels before the particulars of the Paris attacks are identified and understood. If that’s sitting on a fence, so be it but I can’t see how it’s any more intellectually ‘lazy’ than Biff’s comment, which might be a good one liner but isn’t anything other than that.

    Meanwhile, back in the world:

    ‘The France midfielder Lassana Diarra has revealed that his cousin, Asta Diakité, was killed during Friday night’s attack.

    ‘Diarra played 80 minutes of the match against Germany. In a statement posted on Twitter, he said his cousin was like “a big sister to me … In this climate of terror, it is important for all of us who are representatives of our country and its diversity to speak and remain united against a horror that has no colour, no religion.”

    ‘Diarra’s team-mate Antoine Griezmann, meanwhile, said that his sister Maude had escaped the attack at the Bataclan concert hall which left at least 87 people dead.’ (Guardian Online)

    BS Dr.

    There is intellectual argument.

    There is root cause.

    There is precedent.

    There is my part of Paris.

    And there is them.

    7years ago I lived near the Bataclan,and met hostility for being "white French"

    despite my terrible accent.

    It's like St Kilda once was-The Marias- but now the hostile immigrants have decided it was too friendly,welcoming,inclusive,gay inclusive,artsy,drinky or unacceptable.

    I didn't realise that there was some sort of competition for owning reactions to this new outrage but if there is I'll leave it to the Parisians to decide.

    And merely repeating 'BS' doesn't make an argument or even a coherent observation. You think Islam is a monolith, fine. I'm just glad that those who do the security analysis stuff (whether it turns out that they've missed something again this time or not) have a slightly more nuanced view of the world.

    and pray tell me what a throw-away line like "All religions are capable of producing radical followers" adds to the discussion

    it's a total non-statement

    i never stated any confidence in "my knowledge" of this situation and your reference to "merits" is being disingenuous

    nor did i make any knee-jerk religous generalisations

    I'm not going to keep rationalising the destruction of the western world -and the best parts of it.

    I suggest you actually do some kind of reading or show some kind of attempt to understand what you seek to judge.

    These terrorists are no more Muslim than any murderer in the Western world is Christian.

    From the Quran:

    "Whoever harms a dhimmi (any non-Muslim) then I will be his opponent on the day of judgement" Prophet Muhammad

And which results would be most favourable for the Demons if we can manage to turn our season around?

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
