Our Failure to Crush Teams
I remember Swans in the late 80's would belt teams by 100 points regularly .Deisel ,Murphy,Daniher ,Carter,Capper,Wrightetc That was not the team that broke the premiership drought for Sydney.The Roos flag came from a team that refused to lose. The margins are closer now due to team defensive structures across the whole comp, forward pressure etc. Forwards never chased in years gone by and rarely tackled. Rotations and fitness levels are higher across the board . The Communist draft system sees talent given to those with need- but this is undone by free agency. There is more to play for in young sides in terms of careers- so we tend to see less insipid performances like we did at Kardinia thankfully. I thought Gold Coast might become a basket case and hoped Carlton would . North have little to play for but personal pride but I am hoping for a win and zero injuries . Even a 2 point win will be a good hit out for us. Even Norf are not as bad as the ladder suggests.

Our Failure to Crush Teams
We are controlling time ,space ,scorers without ever looking truly beaten. We are mastering tempo. The big margin has only ever been a concern for my harem.

Welcome to Demonland: Jake Lever
Paying $800-1mill a year is not good for a cohesive team like ours has become. We have a combo of home grown loyalists, -Gawn,Watts,Jones,Viney,Jetta,TomMc,Smith,Hoges 4 good journeymen in Pedo,Garlett, Vince and Lewis, drafted guns-Petracca,Oliver,Frost,Hunt ,Tyson etc Having a "Marquee player" builds resentment in a list when they don't fire. Our model is based on "profit share" sysytem as it should be.

Transgenderism
No it's not cool and it's not s choice a child should make. Its a career choice for sex workers not a teen mental health decision that should ever be encouraged by health professionals. Making a eunuch of oneself is a bizarre thing to want to do. Bruce Jenner I could not care less about but Australian teenagers should not be urged to switch genders . I'm with the Gavin McInnes,Pro Dee faction here. Of course some people are so gay they may as well cross dress but changing your private parts chemically and surgically is not the same as getting a tattoo of a piercing . Having said that it's compulsory for gay Iranian men to have a sex change- state sponsored. Strange times.

The adventures of President Donald Gump
There is little to gain from viewing or aligning oneself with the left/ right wing dichotomy in a post Industrial society . There are arguements that make sense.Then there are the others. Census figures show Melbournes population has risen by 45% in a decade. 45% in one decade. I'm absolutely staggered . How do you like these ideas? No contraceptive/ family planning- no govt benefits. A freeze on permanent migration. Compulsory national service for overseas born immigrants.(2 years).Aged under 40. Zero marriage visas. Zero permanent reunification visas. Voluntary Euthenasia,offered to life prisoners. Reintoduce death penalty for treason,espionage,massive tax fraud,murder,terrorism. 3 child limit for all.

The Importance of Jordan Lewis
He could end up being a coach with his success and credentials Would make a good playing coach in his third year even if he does get dropped/managed.

Big photo of Muslims blocking the entrance to Trump tower with prayer. Until you've seen it, you would think prayer is always a peaceful act.Not always so I've seen Muslims and orthodox Jews have a "Pray off" in an airport lobby in Vienna and I was quietly sh!tting myself. I consider prayer a micro aggression.When lots of people block a street it becomes an issue. I'd like it banned.

Off loading Lewis,Vince and Garlett were 3 dumb moves that benefitted us. Bigtime. Hibberd was a good get,as was Hannan. Not sold on milkshake yet. Mitch Clark and H were interesting . We still need a CHF.

I think we will be looking for a junior ruckman or an emerging tall marking key position player. Vince and Lewis will give us another year at least each after this. We need another tall given Pedos age ,the ruck injuries and the slow development of King.
