Why is everyone so keen to blame right wing extremists?

I live on Collins St, have no social media or decrippted apps and shop at Aldi's on Franklin St in the CBD.

I went to my Aldi's supermarket around the corner to my home and came across the first protest.

Anybody who says the protesters are far right extremists could be correct but they are still union members and they are not mutually exclusive. 

The crowd didn't magically get CFMEU branded high vis wear and steel capped boots by click and collect within hours of the initial protest. It was the CFMEU members protesting against the CFMEU.

Dan Andrews didn't shut down the construction industry because it was far right extremists protesting. He knows it was the CFMEU.

Far right extremists wouldn't walk to the Westgate to shut down the city claiming they built it.

There is desperation by slow plan Dan to pretend it's not his supporter base destroying our city.

 

 

Bull sht, no need to shut down anything, just continue with the plan of having all construction workers vaccinated simple, Dan Andrews is vindictive a psychopath and it's just cutting off his nose to spite his face, shutdowns don't work anymore, whether you scared  little people like or not we have to live with it simples, everyone get vaccinated no more shutdowns, if UK can we can

We have over 600 new covid cases today. An earthquake and the CFMEU taking over the city in Melbourne today.

Watch out Perth, Oliver is bringing a hurricane on Saturday.

This is  CFMEU taking over the city,,, the far right and anti vax are taking advantage of the situation, watch the protest grow when all the criminals see it as their chance to cause riots and looting

This is what happens when they take Grand Final Week away from Victoria.
Everyone knows that this week Melbourne (the city) is supposed to be the centre of all news.

Yesterday - protests in the city. Today -  an earthquake. Tomorrow?

Well I hope God is not anger, the Bible did say when the world becomes like Sodom and Gomorrah or earthquakes will happen.

Anyone living in Victoria likely felt an earthquake about 15 minutes ago. Apparently 5.6 on the Richter scale with its epicentre 33 km south of Mt Buller. But that last fact is not the omen. Perhaps others may also recall that on Brownlow Medal night 2000, Melbourne also had a minor earth tremor. And how did that week work out?

Get lost Mfcss board member, are we playing the 2000 Essendon  side back from the past in a time machine

We had a change of plans. We were going to play the interview prior to the preview show on Monday 20/9 but decided to release the interview as a separate podcast on Monday 20/9 and do the LIVE preview show on Tuesday 21/9.

Yes but your poster says Tuesday the 20/09 Tuesday is still the 21 st

The 1 game in 28 days is not enough, what does the 14 days since both teams have played got to do with the 14 days  before that, nothing both teams are going into the GF with the same amount of time since their last game.

We'll be interviewing Melbourne Football Club CEO Gary Pert on Monday 20/9 @ 8:30pm

We'll be chatting with him to get some insight into the behind the scenes in the lead up to the Grand Final.

If you have any questions you want us to ask we'll take the best ones.

You do realise Tuesday the 21st of the 9th not the 20th

Hey ... Neeld tried that same approach.

Only he had such high regard for his players, he did it to all of them.

Dunno why it didn't work. Maybe it diluted the excellence too much.

No I think his approach was different, he told all the players that they where no good, weak and needed a kick up the bum

Something that drives me nuts is how easily some people are able to accept watching a grand final at home with a well stocked fridge and all that crap. That's just hell for me, plus we went through that junk last year and once was enough.

It's definitely time for bed. 

Well you could always join the anti  lockdown protest,

Well done Ollie Wines, even if it is a fantastically silly little award. Echuca’s had a big night! We presume you’re backing your best mate Jack Viney this weekend. Well done also to Marcus Bontempelli for winning the AFLPA MVP. And the best player in the AFL, as voted by those whose opinions matter most - objectively and analytically - well done to Clayton Oliver for winning the AFL Coaches Award, an honour made even more significant  by winning a 2021 Premiership Medal, and the Norm Smith Medal. 
 

 

oops….meant to save this for Sunday morn….

And clarry not even top 6 in the MVP, players have no clue, MVP most overrated award, coaches award is no 1 coaches watching every game the closest.

Well, if that's the case, you'd have to be an absolute dill not to get vaccinated wouldn't you?

I agree, but what's next, as soon as you lose for freedom of choice it is lost for every, then what's next?  slowly slowly you  lose your rights, then what's next? one day they might say you need to be genetically modified.

After the time I've had on a personal front this year, I'm absolutely Fffing ropable with some of our politicians for what's happened and how this is panning out.  Have been a mad supporter since 87 and a member of some form for most of that time while living in Melbourne.  Was there in 88 and 2000 and the pain of those loosing GFs.  Got myself an interstate membership back in 2011ish after we'd just been belted by the Eagles, because while I loathed being beaten, with everyone laying into the Demons I thought that it was time to stick fat, not run like rats from a sinking ship.  I've had a GF garentree since early 2018, because I thought we were on the verge of something special then.  My old man also bought one, so that if we made it, we'd definitely be there (and not get beaten to tickets by all those corporate bankers, neutral MCC and AFL members that didn't deserve to be there) and enjoy the moment of the Demons wining a premership together.   Early this season around Rd 3 or 4, I bought a second GF guarantee ticket for my youngest son after he showed enough passion for the mighty Demons that I thought it would be worth while him attending.

Before this latest COVID f-up, everything was looking perfect.  I'd come down to Melbourne for school holidays, see family, kids could spend some time with their cousins, could go to the pre-lim and then the GF if we made it.  Enter that gold standard wench Gladys Berejiklian egged on by that smirky S [censored] C [censored] Scomo who thought they were too good for the rest of us and didn't need to lock down.  And they can't plead ignorant either, only their extreme arrogance is what's got us into this mess.  Back before Easter up here in Brisbane, we had a snap week long lockdown, because there were a couple of cases of delta detected in the comunity and the health authorities had a sniff of intelligence that delta was more contagious.  The smaller states outside of Vic and NSW have shown how to control COVID.  You keep the stuff out and if it breaks in, you snuff it out quickly before a spot fire becomes a raging inferno - it ain't rocket science.  Scomo's refusal to build fit for purpose quarenteen facilities once it became obvious they were needed has certainly also been a major reason. The Chinese can build a 5000 bed hospital in a week, but Scomo can't even put up a small donga camp to do quarenteen in over 12 months, even with his major general in charge (God help us if we ever go to war).

A few weeks back, I was still holding out a glimmer of hope that I could fly in fly out of Perth from Brisbane.  We'd had F all cases up here for a month or more, but the odd incursion from interstate truck drivers has been enough to keep the condition of entry into WA as 14 days quarinteen, which I simply cannot afford to do in my personal position.  I'm not really the biggest fan of Eddy McGuire, but Mark McGowan's treatment of him along with his skiting about hoasting the GF has really got on my nerves.  Don't know who the bloke supports, but I hope he never gets to see his team play in another GF.  For all the years bitching and moaning of WA club supporters that they never get the GF, they've never had it this bad, at least a fair portion of them have been able to travel to Vic.

Anyways, rant over for  now.  I'll be barracking my lungs out from my living room in Brisbane (neighbours said they knew ever time Melbourne scored last week) and hoping like F that we win it and there will be tears of utter elation if we do, but it won't be anything like the same as being there at the G with my old man (who was there in 64) and my youngest son.  IF we win, I'll be then hoping that the players have enough hunger and the cards can fall our way to collect another premiership at the G, because no belated, contrived celebration could beat being there at the ground after that final siren goes with the Demons in front in that last day in September.

Lockdown are not working anymore, Vic lockdown down hard and early now we have over 350 cases a day, NSW locking down early would only mean they would have 300 cases a day Just like VICTORIA, 99% of  population use to  follow the rules, now only 80% follow the rules. and even now they had 2 leaks from hotel quarantine just the other week, so that would have sent us into lockdown anyway, no don't blame Gladys, blame a failed hotel quarantine system which should have been replaced 6 months ago.

I hate the fact that the Grand Final is always played at the MCG.

It should be either rotated like the NFL or home/top team gets it.

Therefore, the fact that it’s in Perth doesn’t bother me at all.

The only thing I hate is I had no chance of going, but at the end of the day my team is still playing in a Grand Final at an amazing venue.

We'll talk of the NFL a ground can't have the Superbowl unless it can holds a minimum of 75000 people, the other states would have increase their capacity to have it, the AFL would be the laughing stock of any competition when a grand final at Giants stadium has   23000 people there, the AFL has lost over 20 million dollars in the last 2 years, from the GF, losing 90000  in ticket sales.

Unfortunately, until this year, I think what they were saying was true. He was our very own Tom Mitchell. Racking up big numbers and doing some amazing things with his hands but really not damaging the opposition that much. It started really improving last year, when he began taking a few extra steps before disposing of it, an earlier poster mentioned the reported conversation with Burgo.

This year he has taken it to a whole new level, his kicking has been a huge part of it but also the decisions he makes are just so much more team oriented. The midfield is so much more of a unit now than it was, they really seem to know where each other is going to be and they trust each other so much more. 

Clarry is an absolute star, and yes, he started from a high base but there has definitely been a slow burn culminating in what we are seeing this year. 

No he has always hurt the opposition, he is just killing them now

Still criminally underrated by oppo supporters. “He gets a lot of it but doesn’t hurt you”. GAGF. He’s the best in the business at the moment. That game against Adelaide was the best game I’ve ever seen anyone play. Generational talent. Hope he tears the bulldogs a new one next weekend. 

The players don't rate him in the top 5, fuking funny

Yep and if you don't get vaccinated, you won't be able to even go into a supermarket, and that's not conspiracy that is what's going to happen, even to go to a park and have a picnic will get you a $5000 fine if you're not vaccinated, and that's fact.

In the last 5 years Melbourne has won more finals, then port, lions and Essendon put together. Port 2 wins in seven years, Brisbane 1 and Essendon zero

But in the 2020 season we come 9th, so the team was back from hell and into purgatory, also after this year there might be a another video, and it will be called to hell and back part 2, so it will all make sense

Eddie also dropped a bombshell news story that Melbourne won’t be coming back immediately after the GF, instead electing to celebrate the win ((hopefully ) and take holidays in a state that doesn’t have COVID or severe restrictions.

That news rattled me. I thought the club would be on the red eye after the GF and celebrate in VICTORIA…. via ZOOM.

Good idea to stay over there, stay the whole 6 weeks before preseason, they can have a family day over there too

I don’t disagree with you, but you also don’t know everyone’s circumstances. 
I help my dad every few weeks with errands and other essentials as my mum doesn’t drive and he’s had multiple blood transfusions recently so is prone to dizziness. I’m also an only child. 
We’ve both had one dose. I get tested every time before I go see him so I know I’m negative. 
I will be bringing him and my mum over to my place to watch the grand final as the game will finish after curfew and we have a spare room for them to stay. We will all get tested beforehand.
I feel 0 guilt for it. I have done the right thing for 18 months. But I’ll be damned if I miss out on this once in a lifetime opportunity to watch the grand final with my dad. This might never come around again in his lifetime. Or mine even. 
If that upsets you, I’m really sorry and I understand. The last 2 years have been awful and hard and debilitating and downright draining. Melbourne has given us the one piece of hope and happiness to hold onto this year and I don’t want to waste it, and frankly I can’t blame anyone else who feels the same. 
We are human. We can only take so much before our tank runs dry. Mine has well and truly run dry. 

Remember when those fools at the start of this pandemic, said all we have to do is lockdown really hard for 2 months and  it will be eradicated, time for lockdowns are over, it's a blunt instrument that can only be used a few times, unsustainable and it just makes everybody go around in circles, enough is enough, the suicide rate is going through the roof in Australia, how many life are  been saved so other die?

Melb vs top 8 sides (incl, finals): 10-2

Dogs vs top 8 sides (incl. finals): 7-5

We’re a different kettle of fish.

Always knew port would lose, they only won 1 game against a top 4 side, when that side was in the top 4, how a team players in the home and away season is they way they play in finals,
