    "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

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?
