Burmese eat cats. Most construction workers in Bangkok come from that place. Got to keep an eye on your healthy looking pet cats . Koreans  Vietnamese and Isan/laos love dog meat. Its considered a delicacy. 

Diffetent culture to the west. Do you still have dog pounds in Australia or are they closed down?

    With respect, try telling that to the families and friends of ppl who couldn’t take it and did the unthinkable. Besides, a thick skin can’t just be magicked up outta nowhere. It’s innate so there’ll always be “thin-skinned” folks. 

    I meant to say that you can't control what others think or say about oneself. So really all you can do is to work on the things you can control. 

    We can't never please everyone.

    I do remember that, PF. I was living in Footscray at the time and unfortunately had three cats go missing. I didn’t make it known since I didn’t wanna fuel the nasty rumours about them becoming dim sims. Turns out all three of them had found greener pastures in the form of a crazy cat lady who lived nearby. They were happy as a pig in [censored] with their 20+ “siblings.” 🤣

    Cats are the only animals to domesticate themselves. Subsequently they are always looking for a better option.

    They are the Tom Scully of the animal kingdom.

    Yes, remember, we did have The White Australia Policy and I remember the vile prejudiced rubbish uttered about the first Chinese cafe opened in our are - Western Suburbs...

    I felt bad that he wasn't given a go in the ruck this week, did a decent job for us a couple of weeks last year with no Gawn. Just completely lost his way when Wright came in the team

    Same losers always ruining a good thread by going completely off topic. 

    On a topic related matter, I hope Sam can find his way out of this form slump and play relatively good footy.

    This thread should’ve been shut down when Sam left us. You know why it’s still active? So that the usual jerks can start conversations about a much maligned former player under the guise of *innocent observations knowing full well likeminded idiots will jump all over it and it’s “Let the bagging begin (yet again)!” How pathetic.

    * Geez those Essendon supporters are really ripping into poor Sam, aren’t they…

    Open season on Sam, y’all

    That’s all this is now. That’s all this has ever been. And unless Andy closes it down, that’s all it’s ever gonna be.

    It’s no joking matter, Red. Not to ‘Daz’ anyways. He wants this thread to be about nothing but Sam and how terrible a footballer he is. Of course, he won’t say that straight up. But reading between the lines in his posts is cake. Subtlety evades the likes of him.

    Not every aspiring footballer makes it to AFL level. Seems those who do but don’t set the world alight are fair game for those who don’t make it.

    I think you are being unfair to Daz.

    He is only saying that not everyone can become a regular AFL footballer and that it may not be the most important thing in his life anyway.

    I wanted to play with the Doobie Brothers, my all time favourite group, but alas, I now strum away on my own or post on DL.

    My god..

    Why am I not bit surprised once again you've popped up and twisted the narrative to suit your own agenda.

    First of all this is absolutely a horrible take by you because all my responses have been purely around my concern for his wellbeing. I've been pretty respectful with what I've wrote on here recently and genuinely think that he'll get more fulfilment in life other then footy.

    Seriously, grow up and stop trying to look at every opportunity to get offended at every single comment that exists on a football forum.

    If Reddit is anything to go by for these social media comments then it sounds like there's been spears from all directions for the young man.

    At this point I couldn't give a rip about his football ability or who we took him ahead of in the draft, this kind of garbage is not on and mentally crippling for any young man. I just hope he's ok.

    • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      The Gold Coast Suns find themselves outside of the top eight for the first time since Round 1 with pressure is mounting on the entire organisation. Their coach Damien Hardwick expressed his frustration at his team’s condition last week by making a middle-finger gesture on television that earned him a fine for his troubles. He showed his desperation by claiming that Fox should pick up the tab.  There’s little doubt the Suns have shown improvement in 2025, and their position on the ladder is influenced to some extent by having played fewer games than their rivals for a playoff role at the end of the season, courtesy of the disruption caused by Cyclone Alfred in March.  However, they are following the same trajectory that hindered the club in past years whenever they appeared to be nearing their potential. As a consequence, that Hardwick gesture should be considered as more than a mere behavioral lapse. It’s a distress signal that does not bode well for the Queenslanders. While the Suns are eager to remain in contention with the top eight, Melbourne faces its own crisis, which is similarly deep-seated but in a much different way. After recovering from a disappointing start to the season and nearing a return to respectability among its peer clubs, the Demons have experienced a decline in status, driven by the fact that while their form has been reasonable (see their performance against the ladder leader in the Kings Birthday match), their conversion in front of goal is poor enough to rank last in the competition. Furthermore, their opponents find them exceptionally easy to score against. As a result, they have effectively eliminated themselves from the finals race and are again positioned to finish in the bottom half of the ladder.

    • NON-MFC: Round 15

      As the Demons head into their Bye Round, it's time to turn our attention to the other matches being played. Which teams are you tipping this week? And which results would be most favourable for the Demons if we can manage to turn our season around? Follow all the non-Melbourne games here and join the conversation as the ladder continues to take shape.

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?
