Bloody oath! the courts wont deal with em these days. If you want something done properly, do it yourself

For those playing at home - the tag says "Big 199 Boy" hahaha

I'm not sure anyone has. This looks to me like the chrome from an Ironlak reload can with a NY fat cap wielded by a 12 year old with no respect for art or any sort of ability when it comes to graffiti. It sucks big time. There is an age old convention in graffiti that goes "Don't cap what you can't burn". Translate to don't go over a piece of work if yours isn't going to be better. Kids don't understand that concept most of the time, which is why this happens usually. Either that or whoever did this has some personal beef with the artist of the mural, but I'm not sure that's the case. But, its a public space and thems the breaks unfortunately. There's some cracking photos of this wall getting around, thats the important thing.

Tell us how you really feel about it MD

Graffiti, including tagging, mostly started in the late 60's/early 70's and evolved into a collective movement against corporate America. It actually has a fascinating history if your ever bored enough to read about it. The culture I refer to encompasses graffiti, hip hop music and break dancing. Tagging with certain techniques can take incredible skill to do at the highest level. Kid's running around with spray cans tagging everything isn't great, I agree with that. But it all has a very interesting story behind it.

Anyone can come up with random percentages out of the air like that to support their own agenda, but the fact remains this is a culture you clearly don't understand and therefore debating it with you is pointless.

I grew up tagging, I now do street murals in legal places for a hobby. Based on his "raise hell" letters, I'd be willing to bet the guy that did this mural did the same thing when he was a kid. It's the usual progression into this style of art form. If we make the grand final I'll do a Demonland wall!

Yeah its a public wall, can't be mad about it

*waiting patiently for @000 to post*

Don't overthink it. Enjoy the ride.

On face value - Viney = no. If Viney's foot/toe flares up again in the next few weeks? Romance aside, it would be a better result for the team long team. And yes i know that won't ever happen, especially since he is a captain, but as long as we're talking hypothetical's ...

I can tell you who shouldn't be there - Jayden Hunt.

a single goal he kicked in a fairly low pressure situation does not define his kicking ability we don't really need jayden. trade bait.

Congrats mate! My wife and I are expecting our first child (daughter) right after the grand final - I'm also taking this as an omen. I'm slightly concerned that if we are to make it to the grand final my anxiety alone will probably put my wife in labor, let alone how I'd be on the day. I'd hate to have the watch the game in the delivery room on an iPad!

IN THERE AND FIGHT!!!!!

Good point, but he offers far more physical presence and can provide slightly better match ups IMO I think I'd be happy with Spargo out for Smith. Young fella has had the run in the finals he earned, its now Joel's turn.

Depends what your metrics are for "playing well" For mine, scoring effectively is certainly one. It certainly has a pretty big impact on the result of the game in most cases!

A deliciously archaic request Brings me right back!

Wonderful game. Makes the hogan trade talk very interesting.

Oh god am I hungover. It feels good somehow. i love this football club

Genuine forward. Stood up big time today. Keen to see more

OK I am incredibly nervous. I know we should win tonight. If we play the brand of the last 2 games, we win easily IMO. I feel like the walls in my office are closing in on me. I need to get out of here, drink beer, and prepare myself for the most important game I have seen us play since I was 13 years old (our last grand final). GO YOU GOOD THINGS DEE'S!!!!!!

Dee's by 30+, Tmac 5, Clarry 40+, Frost to hurt Hawkins

True. But I like the fact we are relevant again. I've had so much to read this week its been fantastic!

Gee I hope we don't lose badly tonight ...
