  1. Yes ignorance is not defined by race or religion. This is the point. Infidel and terrorist? One is telling me i am not going to heaven because I am not Muslim, the other that I kill people because I am. One is is ignorant and stupid. The other is disgraceful and inexcuseable. I suppose that may be the distinction between being critical and vilification that Old Dee was getting to earlier.
  2. He will be two weeks older when he gets back to you.
  3. Something is seriously wrong if we can can permit a bloke to be called a terrorist of the basis of either appearance. culture or religion. To think that it is ok behind the guise of free speech is stupid.
  4. Fair enough, edited.
  5. Yes, but my point was...if you don't allow community standards to dictate the law of the land then what is your reference point? And freedom is subjective, one man's freedom is another man's bondage. My freedom to verbally abuse a person because of their religious beliefs impinges their right to practice their faith without vilification.
  6. I would say in terms of intensity in the senior side in my opinion he is regularly our worst player.
  7. Yes. Vince can win a clearance for starters. Vince runs harder, tackles more often, delivers inside 50 more regularly, gets more possessions, wins more contests and generally works much harder. Is in many ways a much better player and is a genuine midfielder.
  8. He will be something this boy Sylvia, just you watch him next year. EDIT "WATTS"
  9. A kazakhstani accent. That's what I hear anyway.
  10. This post confirms but one thing.
  11. Have had a look at a few videos and they can't tell a full story. Seems to have good pace and agility to get away. Turns out of trouble quickly. Quick from hand to foot. Very lively player. On the down side, no left foot and has very little penetration with his kicking. I could see him developing early as a run with player.
  12. I'm guessing you are an anarchist then
  13. Performed as a young first year player is expected to. Alternated between Casey and the side and showed some glimpses. Will be allowed to develop naturally and learn the game.
  14. I would like us to explore any trade options rather than wait 9 years. I am not a fan of the way he plays and the way he represents the football club on the field and have serious concerns as to how that affects the culture of our footy team as a whole. I have seen enough in the last 5 years to form the opinion that any upside will be minimal and another type of player with greater willingness in the contest will give us greater value. I also believe that any public views Roos expresses in regards to Watts may well be filtered. I really wonder how longer a person like Roos can tolerate a player like Watts.
  15. To be honest, there wouldn't be many if any on Demonland with any idea. Players we can judge what we see. Coaches we can judge results. The work of an assistant coach is fairly intangible to supporters.
  16. ? = First round compo, win - win. What can the MFC of 2014 turn that into?
  17. Good luck to Michael Randone a 197cm ruckman, one of my locals and I coach his younger brother, who is incidentally a top young player as well.
  18. You can say what you like about the swans but they have absolutely nailed those picks. Common theme...strong bodied and hard working.
  19. I'm a [censored] champion if that helps Dappa
  20. Probably not. Anyways it explains to me why his return to our club was not a lay down misere and why the agent has made other clubs aware that he may be on the market.He was never going to just walk back into the club, we were going to quite rightly make him jump through some hoops. It is also reassuring that he wants to ensure that if he goes that the club is compensated. Whilst managing his comeback our club is in the best position to judge whether any comeback is likely to be successful. I am guessing we have some solid doubt. We haven't been blindsided, we have carefully considered our position so as to get the best outcome.
  21. http://www.afl.com.au/news/2014-09-08/clark-return-not-definite This explains everything
  22. Which is why MC and manager may have been aware that MFC was lukewarm on a comeback? which caused them to explore the possibility of other clubs?
