leave it to deever

I cant swim but stats wise for most people you are correct. Having said that, the odds of being eaten by a shark or being killed by someone yelling allah akbar have certainly increased lately and not solely due to the increase in sharks or the amount of people swimming. Ps 90 % of statistics are 56.46% true.

Yep great post. Its a complex problem. Perhaps not letting the muslim population not get any bigger would help. Ie immigration levels from Islam countries should not be higher than the level of muslims already living here. Ie if 2% of the population is muslim than 2% can come in. In truth I dont have any answers. Really wish I did. I feel sorry for the great aussies who are muslims but am also worried about my children being blown up at a concert as are they I guess, Was thinking at the Anzac game about having to be searched and how sad it was. Probably best if I just read footy posts but its comforting that there are some good people posting about this without some totally crazy views.

In an ideal world all extreme views would be gone including extreme atheists like Stalin , Pol pot and Hitler. The worst terrorists ever.

True but if we win well it could make selection a nightmare. I feel sorry for Jones who has played in so many games when we have lost. He needs to be back enjoying the success after all that darkness. Got a feeling Trac is going to have a big big game. Maybe up forward.

You were right. I was hoping against hope I guess.

I think there may be some foxing going on with this weeks selection. we may be surprised by at least one of Hogan, Garlett and Watts.

Love to make finals with a full compliment. They wont know what hit em.

I meant Woey woops.

I think Bugg has improved a lot. He goes hard. His goal kicking needs heaps of work and a poor part of his game( not his snaps) but I get the impression his passion is much higher than Kents.

Save me a cucumber sandwich old boy. Much obliged. Tally Ho.

We beat Crows and Eagles and we would have beaten Geelong and Tigs bar injuries ( in the Geelong game the worst case of Yips I have ever seen.). GWS game should be interesting and I hope above hope by the time we play Norf again the strongest team we have is up. The great thing about our team is when one player has a bad day someone else pops up to play a blinder. Last weekend for example Pedo and Garlett scored one goal and TMac kicks 5. Oliver was shut down and Tyson steps up. Jones is injured and Viney plays the game of his life. Our backline which used to be a joke is now supreme with Hibberd, Jetta and now Omac. Imagine a full team with Hogan and Watts.Makes me wonder who gets dropped.

Thats funny because after 15 mins of fierce pace and tackling, we dropped off and the rest is history. Never watched a replay myself and was glad I couldnt get tix for that one. After winning the Brownlow,Sw had a shocker.(He wasnt alone). Can't really imagine what it would feel like to win a flag. Maybe 50 times more than the win of last weekend?

He makes a good point about the spread of talent.

Yea his passion is there but aside from his predictive calling just yelling player names isn't really commentating. I just miss Dennis I guess.

Just get rid of Bruce. Dont you think?

Yep, I remember it well. That Dons team was one of the ages IMO. Boy did I drink after that game.

I don't like to get ahead of us but interesting article about our spread of talent. http://www.theage.com.au/afl/afl-news/why-melbourne-can-win-the-2017-afl-premiership-20170625-gwy45l.html

Would like to see Wagner play. Apparently JKH is in great form again. He had 3 chances but perhaps another chance as it takes a while to adjust. (look at Omac).

Gulity as well. Thought he was too young and not enough games behind him. So happy to be proved wrong

3 Of those in a row is salt in the wounds.

No pleasing some people. I dont mind umps making mistakes but when they get swayed by the crowd ( lets be honest it happens in Perth and Adelaide all the time) and influence a good game, its bloody annoying. These guys get paid well and should be more professional. That so called trip in the last quarter was just whistle heavy for something that wasnt there. This is why eagles win so much at home. Look at the free kick counts they get at home. Its very high. Eat sh7t crows fans.

Umpires: Myopia, Racketeer, Swindler.

Great Post. As a side note Freo giving cats a good run and if continued we may sneak into 4th this round.

So many eagles goals from frees. It was pathetic. That blatant push in Oliver's back in front of the umpire as if he would not be pinged(which he wasnt) says it all. Our win made it so sweet.

Woke up this morning and wondered was it all a dream. Watched replay over breakfast. Noted blatant back push on Oliver at around 2 mins to go on boundary line. Still didnt stop us winning. It such a tough year you need to win games you dont expect. Well done Dees this one goes down in history for me. That must of really stung those mad eagles fans. Loved the Melbourne supporter in crowd (Left of left goal or behind post) in black. His reaction speaks for all of us.
