Mods (or Billy2803) please delete post no 4 in this thread. Deeply offensive

I find people bringing Heroin into Australia far more offensive personally

And even more offensive is the Media turning them into political heroes..

Just my opinion....

Seconded Clint.

I have no idea what the point of this thread is.

It's probably to confirm that the Melbourne Football Club must be on the right track, as amateur "journalists" like Damien Barrett aren't publicly sticking the boots in to our club. The fact that some have not noticed his poor reporting means that he is either sacked, not reporting on the MFC and focusing on some other topic, or that he is on extended leave in Indonesia.

The OP rightfully has concerns about the person that seemed to stalk us for the past few years, especially now that it appears he has left without a trace. It is understandable that someone would be concerned for his welfare, yet at the same time have a sense of relief that the bins at the MFC are no longer being raided by an insignificant nothing.

At last, something of substance, although I think you're probably being a bit generous to the OP.

Pretty much where i was coming from, he has seemingly dropped off the face of the earth, just curious if anyone was aware as to why he wasn't posting articles on AFL.com anymore.

Does anyone know if purple still Has his job or what the go is?

Haven't seen anything from him in a while

I can't fathom why anyone would bring up the subject of DB, let alone a discussion about the tool.

I'm hoping his absence is permanent.

Journo's are employed for one thing only.........................to write fairytales about happenings that don't exist in the real world. This sells daily rags apparently and in turn feeds these ravenous creatures along with their repugnant offspring. Occasionally there is a hint of actuality but this soon vanishes when truth is uncovered in their mind's own dungeons. It's a shame that much of the printed stuff that emits from their ramblings is not even suitable for mankind's most putrid daily ablutionary exercise. Ahh yes, journo's are not a flavour/odour that you could get comfortable with , nor be inclined to spend your hard earned sheckles upon nowadays.

Every sophisticated society rejects the death penalty.

Medieval rednecks love it.

I love it also.

Because stupidity deserves and gets punished.

Just like they said.

Pity the fool who smuggles massive amounts of H through Asia?

Nuh.

I'm pretty liberal in my views generally,but the death penalty is a valid option for elected governments to apply.

I would firmly disagree if this punishment was to be handed out by a Theocracy though.

Sharia or Isis or whoever these rags are deserve it equally because I find them distasteful.

They destroy antiquities several thousand years older than their religion.

Antiquities that predate their camel worship.

I can handle idiots murdering each other in the name of religion.

But spare the friggin museums.

Sorry to digress.

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out
