    "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

    • WHAT’S NEXT? by The Oracle

      What’s next for a beleagured Melbourne Football Club down in form and confidence, facing  intense criticism and disapproval over some underwhelming recent performances and in the midst of a four game losing streak? Why, it’s Adelaide which boasts the best percentage in the AFL and has won six of its last seven games. The Crows are hot and not only that, the game is at the Adelaide Oval; yet another away fixture and the third in a row at a venue outside of Victoria. One of the problems the Demons have these days is that they rarely have the luxury of true home ground advantage, something they have enjoyed just once since mid April.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
