  1. I didn’t even get 1 farewell at my last job, why does Jonesy get 2?
  2. Smokey replied to Demonland's post in a topic in Melbourne Demons
    Great, another team to dilute the talent pool and languish near the bottom in perpetuity. Just what the AFL needs
  3. Guessing you missed Jack Watt's debut then?
  4. If we're looking at an individuals performance, it's better to look at their game in isolation. It's entirely possible to have a horrible game on a winning team. Not saying he was horrible, but comparing his games against WCE and GCS is apples and oranges to me, regardless if the stats look similar. You wouldn't recruit an 18 year old player in the draft based on stats alone, you have to observe them play over a period of time. So much of footy is not necessarily captured in stats.
  5. Just because a post is too long for you to absorb doesn't mean your points weren't addressed Stick to news.com if you prefer consuming bite size content
  6. Believe the term we're looking for here is 'snowflake' haha
  7. Last time I checked, Donald Trump is an ordinary citizen and is no longer holds any official office. Telling people that they can't refer to Trump as a citizen, and can only bring him up in the context of his former presidency, is the actually the most insane part of this conversation. You're upset that somebody brought up Donald Trump in a conversation about racism. Why does that reference threaten your political identity to the point you launch into an anti-left tirade?
  8. You are literally the one that brought politics into this. OP referred to an individual, not a political party. Further, you regularly politicise discussions around here. Talk about projecting ...
  9. I have faith that the vast majority of people aren’t racist in Australia , but I understand the importance of calling out racist behaviour completely. If a person holds racist views they should always be held to account. But is it productive to for media to shine a spotlight on faceless social media posts by troll accounts purposely pushing the vitriol to simply get this reaction? I don’t know anymore, because that will be a never ending battle due to the anonymity of the internet. Its certainly not for me to decide as a non-indigenous Australian in any case and I’ll always take guidance from those who are affected by it
  10. Don’t get too caught up in the basic numbers. His turnovers the week before were quite damaging
  11. Smokey replied to Bimbo's post in a topic in Melbourne Demons
    I can't believe I'm saying this but ... ANB stiff! Thought he had an absolute blinder
  12. I don't cringe when I see that at all. I see a bloke who's having a great time doing what he loves and showing respect for his opposition when the final siren has sounded. I'll take that over a faux-tough guy attitude any day. Blokes get weeks for sneezing at their opponents these days, why we'd want our multi million dollar star player risking tribunal by pretending to be Jack Dyer is beyond me. Being a mongrel may have earned respect on the field in days gone by, but footy and society is different today. P.s he tackles plenty hard.
  13. Surely we come out breathing fire tonight ... it'll be our flag to lose if we get a good win tonight I reckon
  14. Smokey replied to DubDee's post in a topic in Melbourne Demons
    Well tomorrow night is important now
  15. Tex walker can go and get ******
  16. Smokey replied to Nasher's post in a topic in Melbourne Demons
    Yeah that sounds nasty. Nice work getting it back up so quicky
  17. Smokey replied to Nasher's post in a topic in Melbourne Demons
    Did you find out what the root cause was? If not, and you have audit logs available, I'd be happy to look over them for you guys
  18. Smokey replied to Nasher's post in a topic in Melbourne Demons
    Many thanks for your efforts! Having worked in IT for 15 years I know how stressful a production outage can be
  19. Smokey replied to SPC's post in a topic in Melbourne Demons
    Perfectly summed up
  20. Yeah that was mine too. Absolutely hilarious lol
  21. And to think it's only Tuesday. I'll check back in with them later in the week
  22. I was just as surprised as you. I honestly thought their vocabulary was limited to booing only.
  23. Here's my favorite's from their changes thread lol who gives a sh*t. Can no we also get rid of that big fat bloke in charge of recruiting? Number 1 he’s crap. Number 2 fat = lazy, it sets a bad culture Out: Adam Simpson, Midfield. In: Inanimate Carbon Rod, Witches hats. Seriously, who cares? The players don’t so why should we. We are lost. Out: Darling, OA, Gaff, Sheed In: Blue Wiggle, Baby giraffe, Dicky Knee, inanimate carbon rod. I look forward to another 3 x possession Vardy special, again. To add to his overflowing 3 possession trophy cabinet. Out - me I wish Simmo was my weed dealer when I was broke in high school - the amount of tic I could have built up... I can only imagine the gigantic erection Gary Lyon gets every time he thinks about the demolition job the Dees are going to perform on us. Surely they have him on the comms somewhere to really stick it to us. Jordy Lewis too, I'm sure he'll enjoy it after starting the rot in the '18 prelim. Out me. In cleaning gutters, weeding garden, washing car, sex with wife on footy day. Seriously who the f**k cares anymore The players don't so why the f**k should we ?? Only change I want to see is west play a full four in the midfield. Pathetic campaigners again showing their lack of body work and intent No change, they all absolutely deserve the punsihment in front of a crowd. There can be no hiding. It's going to be a massacre next week, Dees are towelling up the Suns as we speak. Honestly time to just put Edwards, Trew and Johnson in as well give kids a crack see if they show something at AFL level. This no second Ruckman business is such a massive problem for us and I don't think the club has realised that until now. Seeing Gawn and Jackson tear it up for Melbourne today gives me the chills thinking about next week
