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.

Yes, we have no bananas today.

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.

List of interesting things seen transported on a scooter/bike around Saigon.

Bricks

Well when they do arrive wherever our erstwhile correspondents are geographically or temporally located please ensure there is no freckle on your banana.

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.

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.

  • 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?
