We have kept our best players on the park and that is the difference at the top. Previous iterations of Dees teams have not had the galaxy of stars we now have so it is even more imperative to winning deep into the year. It also hampers the notion of depth being important. Can’t replace your best players nor your brightest stars. They go out, you’re left with a black hole.

You’re a Melbourne supporter??

Well, it does make one realise why we got rid of the ‘gold standard’ back in ‘68…

God, Hawthorn are a proud club. So glad they [censored] themselves…

GC like numbers… Pandemic is the real mind killer here. Crowds will be back next year.

Yeah, good one!

On GC - the same was said about Sydney and Brisbane decades ago. We need to grow the game or it willl become the NRL - stagnated.

How do we benefit? If they left, there would be more space for members and sponsors.

Essendon have excitement about them and no pressure. Ripe to win a final. For the scenario that we all want to see - Essendon playing finals only to lose them - we will have to wait until their entitled fans place an inordinate amount of pressure on them over and above what they can accomplish.

It’s a question asking what in the living hell you were off on that tangent for after quoting what @Skuitsaid. He was referring to footy players providing pablum and you then veered off the highway and into the brush. @dazzledavey36merely reacted like the rest of the traffic on the highway as you veered off amongst the trees and seemed to accelerate. Hence the ‘wut’

GWS vs Syd/Bris week one will be a bloodbath.

I think that is an overreaction - I think they would be fine. Plus the geriatrics in Mordor don’t get a week off before finals to recharge and deage.

Just like they have been doing; treating trolls with the ridicule you deserve. They diminish when they are revealed for the pathetic embarrassment of a human that they are…

So fortunate to debut in that team; defined role, support from leaders, structured up properly so when you spin and move through traffic and hand pass out the back - of course May is there; trusting his teammates to do what they need to do.

You should delete your account or be banned. You are just trying to inflame with ignorance, posing as pseudo intellectualisms. It’s not profound or correct and shouldn’t be even given the respect of a argued response.

What about a Canberra bubb… I’m sorry - I am trying to post on a fan site can this wait?! Uh huh. Uh huh. Yep. Oh. Nevermind.

I am really coming around to the vaccinated can go if they pass a test within two days of a final… We are going to get to these compromise positions for summer - maybe we can test it out. It won’t mean me probably - my first shot here in the ACT is Sept 8 but I want my dad and you guys to go. Our risk appetite is so low tho… sigh.

Yeah, great. How can we stop what we don’t even agree is racism? Those that do nothing and that wish they weren’t ‘preached’ at by PC thugs - answer the question in your quiet time - what will you do differently? I won’t single you out but you know who you are.

He’s a jet and I think could be in the top 10 players in the game. I hope we can manage to pay him as maybe May and Gawn age and retire. We just have a number of players now that demand to be paid. Great problem to have.

I tried to stick to facts in my apparent one line ‘ran’ but if you can’t agree on the fact Trump and Trumpism is built around racist rhetoric then we can’t agree on facts - you need to address that. Not here. But there are always established facts that don’t align with our worldview - and we need to have an answer to them - not ignore them.

Not biting on this - you tell me what we do as a society. Or don’t. Just get out of the way if you don’t want to help.

The rise of Trump emboldened supremacists and racists over the globe. We never dealt with that properly and we condoned it through that silence and now it is a fire out of control. Some on here think ‘wokeness’ and PC rhetoric are shoved down their throat, well then what is the solution to this? If we can’t preach, how will the masses change their behaviour? Because the olden days of ignoring it and saying to the Eddie Betts of yesteryear “don’t make a thing of it” are over - they are done. They are as mad as hell and not taking it anymore - so what do you want to see happen - if not more ‘woke’ preaching, education in schools, clubs, workplaces, and pushing of the agenda of respect and reconciliation?

Mate, that is pure PR and damage control and I am sure he is sincere - he hurt people. But I would never get the person in like that to be paraded as a part of my own image management. I am sorry to be so cynical about this but I find it quite disgusting tbh. This bloke is just a stand in - he shouldn’t have to be there to comfort or provide absolution. Walker should just apologise, answer questions and do better. That’s how I see it.
