No Deits.

My logic is sound but unfashionable.

Obama did nothing but toady to Israel and drop bombs and talk sweetly. Clinton was just as bad. The damage he and Albright did to Iraq, just for starters, was way beyond the pale.

Obama will be compared to the great fairy flosses of the world, full of sweet sound and broken promises ( Quantanimo, exiting Iraq and Afghanistan) while piling on the murders by Drones, not to mention his complicity in the rape of Libya and Syria.

Well Dieter I believe all US leaders believe in their right to attack their enemies off shore, wherever it may arise in the world. That gives them the right to ferment revolution or assination locally. And we have witnessed that throughout Central and South America and in Asia of course in the 20th century.

Obama is just following a well worn national tradition.

Just caught up on this thread, what the heck has happened to it?! 

Have the Germans and Japanese taken over the banana industry? 

Yes, we have no bananas today.

Clearly, plenty of nuts though. 

Man, you wanna just talk peanuts by the sound of it. For a start, bananas are about just as boring as nuts. Wanna talk about the weather?

Okay, it's nice and cool in Melbourne at the moment, though we are heading for a 38 degree Tuesday, though the weather bureau keeps changing its mind about the exact figure.

Have you ever noticed that? Does it annoy you too?

That's akin to heresy on this thread, dieter. There are some things up with which we will not put, as your hero Winston once said.

Couldn't agree more. The bottom line is heresy is heresy. I can feel an immolation coming on.

That comment is far worse than anything Bbo has ever said.

Words cannot describe the horror of that attitude.

If I was a moderator you would be immediately banned till after the first game of 2017

It would be an interesting social experiment to ban this thread. Even say, a freeze on the thread for a month.

May cause an implosion of some iphones and lap taps around the country.

After reading that Earnest I can only assume that you emerging from a heavy Christmas / New year period and your reasoning powers have not returned to your normal high standard.

Rickshaw naturally.

My whip needs replacing also.

No DC.

city folk are a bit sharp.

Ive gone "up river" for HR and surprise.

Recruitment is easy but the tough part is convincing DIAC that I need 43 chefs and 24 hair dressers.

The rickshaw driver is totally pist at me but all the swimming is giving his feet a well earned rest.

Hope you have the air con at full blast back in Borewood DC.

Its gods way of punishing tennis players so all good.

  • CASEY: Geelong

    There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

  • REPORT: Geelong

    I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

  • PREGAME: Essendon

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

  • NON-MFC: Round 04

    Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
