It's your reply that is ignorant.

At least let the high horse slow down prior to jumping on it.

 

Why the bloke apologised is beyond me.

 

 

I think Steve said "apologies to those offended"

That is fair enough, he has no need to be sorry for what he said, and he has not apologised for what he said.

Tex Walker said on radio last year after Lever moved to the dees that “if you’re driven by money or you’re driven by success, that’s a decision you need to make”

If I was the coach, I’d have our best 23 focussed on proving this week that our best is more successful than their best. 

Interesting...

I think there are a few clubs that play the loyalty v the dollars thread very hard and included in those are Adelaide and West Coast. Hawthorn used to be masters at it but after they dumped the leaders at the end of 2016 I suspect they are very much back with the pack.

Money or success? 

Why not both....( awaits cheesy ad...lol )

Seriously ... it's a furphy that they need be mutually exclusive. Indeed some argue one is the measure of the other.

I simply understand that many Crows had their noses collectively kicked out of joint. So be it.

If they focus on Lever... they'll come unstuck.

Its time, we gave much more respect to all our indigenous peoples, for the pain, the hurt we have done to their races, since the europeans settled in here.

The joke was about Garrett. End of story

People are far too quick to adopt indignations.

Tell Tex that Bryce Gibbs says "Hi".

Damn, snowflakes have taken over this thread.

Must be tough going through life spending so much energy looking for offence.

Garlett/Garrett. Easy to see what the joke was about if you care to look instead of rushing to be outraged.

Sad thing is, even after his/her error was clearly pointed out, they still choose to ride their high horse. Living in central Australia, I have enormous sympathy for the barriers placed against Indigenous Australians and know the history very well. Here, it is not relevant.

I must have a "Dead Heart" hey?

Put down that weapon and get out of your Dream World, before the Bullroarer Sells my Soul down the Gunbarrell Highway.

You lefties.

Woah, Sometimes.......

Crows might get Matt Crouch and Milera back for Sunday

but are still without, Walker, Sloane, B Crouch, McGovern, Knight, and B Smith.  That's 6 of their best.  Shows how badly the dogs are going to only score 2 goals against them

Jamie Bennell would consistently get a game in Darwin back in the day, often picked from nowhere to play so I wouldn’t be surprised if Spargo is rested & Garlett does come in, not entirely because of indigenous round but think it may play a part in Garletts secletion

Jamie Bennell played once in Darwin and had played every game of the season up until that point.

I understood the original comment, about 'Garret'. and beds are burning.

 but not the running commentary since, its all a bit vague.

A joke... perchanced upon a malapropism was all it was. The song was actually irrelevant other than to denote the singer..and by such the joke.

All the rest  is also irrelevant but to those that see shadows where none exist.

You are so mean Ethan, just when i was trying to change the subject with a bit of decorum. However you did spin in rather quickly☺️

Play Garlett because it’s Indigenous Round and we’re playing in Alice Springs? Bloody hell. 

It's ridiculous, ET.  Someone even suggested playing him because a family member designed the guernsey.

If Garlett does play on the weekend then it's because he deserved a run, no other reason.  If he doesn't play then clearly the FD are going for the win, not sentimentality.

    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.

    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
