Was that for his insulation scheme? 

That's it, Et, blame Garrett for the greed and ineptitude of Tradies who rather than training their staff were just happy to make a quick buck.

    Grow up sunshine. Its a big, mean old world out there. Best you stay in your safe space with the curtains drawn.

    Actually, if you read my post/s, you'll see that nowhere did I say that I was offended ... but grasping the difference between "I'm offended" and "I can see how others could be offended" would require perspective-taking and nuance, which in your case.

    As for someone using a childish term like "lol" in the same post as "grow up" ...

    Can Demonland please run a poll to decide whether a day where the temperature is forecast to start with a minimum of 11 degrees and rise to a maximum of 27 should be described as "hot"?

    I don't think it should but it seems others do. Either that, or people keep believing that it will be hot just because there's an assumption that it's always hot in the NT (which is true for the Top End but not Alice Springs).

    Spot on. I spoke briefly to a player this week who said the boys like to play there and the heat and humidity is not a factor and its at night anyway. They fly out Sat morning.

    if there is anyone who hasn't been offended yet, please post now so we can rectify the situation

    there is plenty for everyone

    I am offènded that there is someone who would take umbrage at a perfectly appropriate response to a post whose author intended no more than a light hearted reference to a former singer and the lyrics  of one of his songs. 

    For goodness sake, if you don't get the reference, don't make any comment at all. A lot of us found it pretty clever and funny. You throw a hissy fit over nothing and you just sound like a goose. 

    Here endeth the lesson.

    Last year was a day game and the year before that.

     

    I think the Darwin game is a night game

    Garrett was the one who signed off on allowing people to install the insulation without qualifications. Have a look at the Royal Commissions report into the scheme Diets.

    So because PG signed off on it a Tradie who doesn't train his staff properly is totally innocent because PG signed off. Great, Pg signed off, I don't care if you die, boy, I'm not going to train you, you're on your own kid, if you die, it's PG's fault. I like your logic, ET, as in DON'T...

    Yeah rubbish. 

    You are perpetually offended. If its not something directly aimed at you, you take offence vicariously. I have seen you do it many times.

    Again, grow up. Better still put me on ignore so you dont keep getting offended. (Or schooled).

    Look I get it, you feel a bit silly for not getting the Garrett/Garlett spelling error where instead you decided to launch into a faux-offended tirade. All good, I think we’re all over it. No offence taken.

    It’s ridiculous. Couple of people made a mistake, a bloke apologises because he’s a nice bloke, then people jump up and down because people got offended. 

    It was a bunch of nothing, and people overreacting like everyone does to everything these days. 

    People need to chill.

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • 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.
