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

    But, but… where else can nasty bastards go to continue bagging Weids????

    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: St. Kilda

      The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

    • REPORT: Sydney

      A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

    • POSTGAME: Sydney

      The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.

    • CASEY: Northern Bullants

      The Casey Demons travelled to a windy Cramer Street, Preston yesterday and blew the Northern Bullants off the ground for three quarters before shutting up shop in the final term, coasting to a much-needed 71-point victory after leading by almost 15 goals at one stage. It was a pleasing performance that revived the Demons’ prospects for the 2025 season but, at the same time, very little can be taken from the game because of the weak opposition. These days, the Bullants are little more than road kill. The once proud club, situated behind the Preston Market in a now culturally diverse area, is currently facing significant financial and on-field challenges, having failed to secure a win to date in 2025.
