AFL Round 13 - they're all non MFC Games

[Straight Sets Simon 23,113]

Ahaha. Is there a sharper wit in AFL circles than Titus at the moment?

As a Melbourne supporter I hope he lurks here.

[What 18,810]

What a terrible game.

No idea how the Dogs are 7-5.

[jumbo returns 6,503]

For what it's worth Catherine Zeta Jones is gorgeous.

School of Rock for me.

Classic.

[Bang Bang Bang 5,510]

I hope he is a lot better.

Stringer is an absolute machine and will only get better! I would be happy if Petracca turns out that good.

[Devil is in the Detail 883]

School of Rock for me.

Classic.

Have never seen it. No offense don't wont to. Jack Black just pis-ses me off.

Love how Bomber just speaks the truth as he sees it.

Well, no, he's got a bone to pick with Hird, so he's more than a little biased in all of this. He's loving being able to stick the dagger into Hird.

[Chook 14,594]

no they don't.

And you'd know that they don't.

So you are lying. I'm sure you are not ignorant. That leaves lying as the only alternative.Just baffled as to why.

Many players do exactly what Goodes does onfield (boomer harvey for one) and NEVER get booed. You can point to dozens of sneaky snipers, precious umpire pets, or self-important tools and the truth is that they don't get booed at games or across games. It is a shocking argument - it is not even an argument, it is just a shameful rationalisation - a defence - of racist behaviour. It is gutless and horrid and should be rejected out of hand.

This is so clearly a racial issue. Those that deny it (and I mean all if you) cannot all be ignorant to the sort of social psych pressures that lead to racist behaviour, cannot be ignorant to the 'cultural' racism inherent in white australia and the growing tolerance for racist attitudes over the last 10 years. It is utterly implausible. Actually, when you add up all those effects, the null hypothesis is that booing is racist it becomes your job to disprove it. All the forces at work make racist motivations the most likely state. Your job is to prove it isn't. And you can't.

Lot's of players are unpleasant or easy to dislike. They don't get booed. Goodes does. Join the dots and man up the lot of you.

That is the most horrific and saddening lack of logic I've ever had the misfortune to read. It is NEVER someone's responsibility to prove they're NOT racist. To think otherwise is just insane.

What you've just done here is co-opted millenia of prejudice in an effort to win an argument by requiring a standard of proof so high that even you've admitted it can't be reached. The null hypothesis is obviously that you want to be the "right" one battling on the side of good against the "bad guys." I don't boo Goodes, by the way. I'd boo you though.

WAS. She was gorgeous. Then she married an old man and let herself go.

[Biffen 12,347]

No hirdy, it's because of you!

No ,he said Mitchell was "naive".

Like engaging in a 34 man drug binge and expecting to get away with it.

Poor Jim.

[RalphiusMaximus 5,993]

Best players for Brisbane and Adelaide are both ex-Demons. That hurts.

[Fork 'em 6,538]

Ahhh .... Don't think so.

I still wouldn't kick her out of bed for farting.

I may even encourage it.

[Lucifers Hero 37,179]

Looks like the pretenders beat the pretenders tonight...

I'm wondering whether WC are the biggest pretender!

They sit 2nd on the ladder with 153.5% which suggests they are hot.

However, they have played only 3 of the current top 8 and lost 2 of those 3: Freo, WB.

So how good are they really?

Gee, can't help think that if we bring our A game we will beat them next week!

We will find out next week. Big job for the backline. Jetts to LeCras, Tommy Mc to Kennedy and Dunn to Darling potentially. The midfield battle will be intriguing as well.

Classic propaganda technique, not unlike the way the extremely right-wing Fox News continually call themselves "fair and balanced" while attacking all other media for being lefties. It's their way of pushing the idea of 'neutrality' further in their direction.

Basically an attempt to paint the ridiculously pro-Essendon media as "neutral". Pathetic and the all-too-predictable next step for Hird's ilk to keep public perception in his favour. I think that's well and truly a lost cause. The only people against the WADA appeal now appear to be Essendon supporters.

Oh so just like the ABC but on the far left?

Looks alright to me. Mind you I have cataracts and macular degeneration - should take up umpiring.

[MadAsHell 4,088]

Don't want to de-rail the thread, so this is the last i'll post on this point. But the ABC are an independent broadcaster. Fox News owned and run by Rupert Murdoch, the same guy who controls Herald Sun, the Essendon FC apologists. Just saying.

think you've got to be legally blind to qualify as an umpire, chook

what's an independent broadcaster, aac?

can't a private broadcaster be independent?

It can, but not Murdoch's empire. Prime example is the Iraq war which divided opinion throughout the west. But every one of Murdoch's 'independent' papers supported it. What a coincidence.

so, a broadcaster includes print media?

anyway, i was questioning the term "independent"

[MadAsHell 4,088]

Please GC, don't let Carltank get another win.

Would love to see them go back into turmoil with a loss today against a team with their entire midfield out!

[Binmans PA 26,265]

Gold Coast are absolutely pathetic, but they are missing their four best mids, their ruckman and now Dixon. Carlton will struggle to beat anyone else on this performance. Under very little pressure, their skills are as bad as ours were two years ago. Cripps is the only gun kid. The rest are ordinary and I'm loving it.

[daisycutter 28,612]

glad we didn't get malceski - 4 disposals in 3 quarters
