Naughty corner

Watching Sloan i reckon Bernie wad a little unlucky ?

On a side note Geelong desperate to get finals played in their kitty litter. They know they're poo elsewhere !!

We didn't damage Sloan much . He'll be hearing Bernie's footsteps in the Granny though

Tiggy touch to the nth !! Instant karma though lol

What photos

Right after we get rid of the Dustmen

Like you i can see them at 8th. In a scenario i have us also at 5th WE get to put them to the sword . @wrecker45 thats pretty sweet

I like it

Naughty corner....far too much sense there ol chap

A funny old season. As it progresses there are more questions over more teams. Quite often by now the Eight is all but set, a few teams prepare for last gasp efforts and the rest begin List management !! Still very much game on for 2/3 the comp

A couple of points for pondering Should we account for Port , then cats and pidgeons will go amock Some media numnuts wont know what to write... I seriously wonder if the "Dusty" conundrum might start becoming a seriously unsettling distraction at Punt road. I can see their black and yellow wheels falling off . The Druggies wax and wane. Blues a pest. Suns might surprise at home as Rocket gets urgent. Saints are sinners and the season has called their bluff. Cat's wouldn't want another injury ( even if we do...for them ) Giants are beatable. Swans...dark horse. Fascinating season.

Actually Islam is barely a religion. Its an ideology as most of it is politically based..always has been. Keep in mind politics are as old as...well...man. In the same way there's a distinction between Judaism and Jews. One might also suggest there's a difference of a kind between Muslims and Islam. It all gets very very murky and more often than not depends on who's saying what ...and for why. I'm totally open to the notion that nearly all the "good book" style religions are in essence political. Doesnt seem to matter who's book or how you go about reading them they all have their barrows to push, all laying claims to eh hearts and minds of populaces and those running them want to have the folks abiding THEIR views. Politics/Power/ Religions hmmm.... hard to find lines between it all. A problem when we come to discussions such as the RAP , or homelessness, or 'divides' is many a time the writer brings with them a 'one size fits all' caveat. It rarely ever does. I applaud the club for doing something as it obviously felt it was needed. There are indeed different cultural backgrounds to the many players and the indigenous make up a sizable proportion of the league. I applaud the notion of inclusiveness. I must confess I'm a little conflicted though as this is by no means a cut and dried , dare I say black and white area of attention. There's is to me a possible worry in the difference between recognising one's heritage and ramming it down others throats. There also the danger in the balance between understanding where we come from and wanting to be part of a greater and by overdoing it and in turn exasperating the difference. There is no one indigenous background as there is no one european background. There is no one homeless situation any more than there is one Family model. Do we need to also strike an accord for any playing the game who hail from overseas ? We all have our foibles. Personally I just take people ( all people) as they come. You're either good bad or whatever. It seems to this observer there are as many of any desirable ( as indeed undesirable ) traits from as many backgrounds as you choose to find. As good an idea as RAP is I do struggle tbh with reconciliation but only as the dialogue seems hijacked many a year ago. If it were to simply the construct to allow all to be together and acknowledge we all have worth then fine. To give special allowance for 'anyone' I feel only serves to reinforce a divide whether real or imaginary. All in all i'd like to think ALL were always welcome at the MFC with or without any particular nod to him, him or her !! I sometimes wonder if we as an animal all to often look to over complicate.

Though quite likely only a possible and not 'probable' you could have this. All depends on how ALL the cards fall...and when !!

Saty, they are called cons. They're essentially thieves and id no sooner give to them than the majority of those that would block my path to a supermarket or verbally accost me at the Mall. There are however genuine folk who are indeed homeless and who do it rough. Not all want to be there I can assure you. That bloke...you should have taken a pic of his car rego...then of him faux begging and passed it on to plod !!

Definitely some support for a legitimate Magoos , but not from all quarters. If the above scenario played out it still holds a vexed question ( for mine ). The idea of the dev league is to have a vehicle for players who wont be playing VFL seniors but are either on the radar or indeed on the list of an AFL club but are the project players. The types that might be years away from seniors but need to be schooled in the manner that the Club ( say MFC ) want players to learn. Currently the VFL clubs affiliated in the manner as say Casey play the way the senior coaches want. If Casey becomes the new dev league team ( as it were ) and we had a Reserves then would the players still get tutored in the same way ?

They get some. It is/was still part of the planning and integration of AFL clubs, if only via their VFL affiliate. They came under that umbrella. Now there will be another conduit removed. Very few AFL players come OUT of the VAFA...its where many go to retire ffs. Though the dev league rates down the ladder it was still used by clubs to evaluate the lads potential etc . But to use your own rhetoric possibly Nash..where there is little, there will be none.

Good luck son

I got this a number of times. As you say it's not really the anticipated outcomes, it's the left field howlers. Amazing season.

You've got to step on something as you vault into the finals. The pies will make a lovely doormat !!

The advantage to having the development league is.... wait for it... Ready ??? DEVELOPMENT !!!! The kids became exposed to an AFL level system and all that entails. All this does is close the doors on kids who don't quite fit the mould !! What's an AFL club to do now...form even lower level affiliations ?? This is beyond dumb. AFL shooting feet !!

I actually think , barring any too dramatic injuries, i think this time we'll ragdoll these shltboners just like the pups !! All about getting on a roll.

The VAFA and VFL are two quite different environments with very different pathways. Very short sighted decision.

Doesn't really answer the question. Thats your response. The question is surely valid. Its a public place. I understand the 'why' . I dispute the ability, MFC or anyone.

How exactly can anyone be asked to leave a public place ?
