Just pointing out the hypocrisy of the West and our media. Who cares about the hundreds of thousands of Arabic people who have died or have been injured, displaced since the Coalition of the Willing intervened 10 years ago. When two westerners are murdered it is all too much so off we go again to do what exactly?

Back we go to Iraq with the US. It should be called Operation “Unscramble the Egg” as in lets try and fix up the mess we helped cause in the first place. Up to a few months ago there had just been 10 years of chaos and mass killings,car bombings and millions of Arab homeless refugees! And then things really spiralled out of control with ISIL I mean who was to know that the political instability in Iraq would culminate in the tragedy of two white faced Westerners being beheaded? I'm with Tony - No choice we have to act!!

What could have been if Ryan had taken a punt and Thommo had stayed on etc etc.

Good get NB gee I would have liked to be on that tram and I often am as it looks like the Smith Street tram to me. That said it is a bit of an "unplugged session" which I have always struggled with. This kid is better heard at full electric throttle. He is a talent and he is local. I am an electric guitar groupie I admit. Like I don't want to hear Carlos Santana playing ukulele if you know what I mean because it is waste of talent even if he transformed the whole concept, which he probably would.

Dream on, wont happen but I agree it probably should. But even with those picks there would be no guarantees of success, refer to GWS. We are facing a climb like Everist I am afraid.

Not if Mark Evans can make his case to the Commission of Drones. Expect plenty of vision of Port Adelaide before and after in the presentation to show the Drones that a club's form can be turned around in the blink of an eye. No need for any help move on.

Anyone know the reason for the judgement? Was it downgraded to negigible impact or something? We know he chose to bump and contact was high. Then again it is impossible not to get Selwood high no matter what you are doing so maybe that was the reason?

The Bailey game plan can work with the right cattle? Who is Port's recruiter, he knows what he is doing.

And hadn't they played off in a grand final in 2007. We have been on or near the bottom since then. No comparison, sorry.

Hi Louis just asking which nations are we at the mercy of? Russia sending an Amada from the north? China perhaps who pay much of our national income? Is it Indonesia who the USA may or may not see as an enemy and who we can handle anyway, Japan? Where is this threat please tell me. If we arm ourselves sensibly with state of art jet fighters and submarines (and these can be off the shelf items from Europe etc) not bleeding edge design like the JSF from the USA we can handle ourselves quite well thank you. I am sick of this dependent attitude that we are a sitting duck for the major powers. Maybe you want to reinstate the guns at Point Nepean! The Russians are coming!

There is so much charity being thrown around by the AFL to franchise clubs, to the academy clubs, to all the top clubs picking off the FA players I find it quite ludicrous to read all this hairy chested rubbish about us not asking for hand outs yet again! Good heavens we are being screwed every year through the FIXture. As I have said before the AFL can live with our gross lack of competitiveness because we are buried away in the twilight matches where our performances have minimal impact. If we were on our fair share of Friday nights against the best, the AFL would feel compelled to step in to stop us trashing the brand. This is the basis of PJ's case, that we are an impediment to the brand, we are so far off the mark that we need assistance. It is in everyone's interests to give us some assistance. I would nominate multiple priority picks in the second and third rounds myself as the draft is a lottery and the more shots you have at it the better the likely outcome for us. But yes it won't happen the AFL exec will probably throw up the Mitch Clark, Jesse Hogan PowerPoint again and the Commission of Drones will nod in agreement and move onto the next agenda item, Gil's application for an overseas study tour to look at equalisation measures in soccer in southern France.

Good get Macca. Gee no expense spared in the production of that music video! But it still works. The more I listen to him the more I think the kid is a phenomen!

But Is he worth pick 20?

Are we are talking about the arch criminal King Tutt ? If so always thought he was too flakey to stick around long term and too over weight to play in the mid field. He did have leadership skills but strangely only after he had been hit on the head !

I was nearly 40 years old same, same Matt!

Here we go again! Field Marshall Abbott sends us off to war in the Middle East for Operation "Unscramble the Egg"! Can we fix up the catastrophic mess we helped to make in the first place with a few Hornets and SAS operatives? Of course not but think of the political mileage this is worth for a Government bereft of domestic ideas well at least ideas that are not toxic with your average voter. The testosterone levels are rising and I include Julie Bishop in this! Waiting for Tony to start wearing a leather jacket at official military functions.

Harts new song Red and Blue, could it be our alternative anthem played before games? Local talent from Hoppers Crossing who has worked with the artist formerly known as Prince. The album Daydreamer has some other great songs. Sorry no Utube.

Yeah but You know " a stitch in time....."

Commentators throwing up the question has there ever been a better finals performance by a 19 year old? 26 possessions, 3 goals, 7 clearances..... Shyte!!!

Big syringe!

I hadn't heard anything about those allegations. What have the drugs done? Given her the bionic bum?

My inner woman would be Serena Williams, we both have a mean top spin backhand and between us we have won six US Open titles!

Can you enlighten us on the philosophy? I need to see it to have results myself.

Col, DC might not know better, he might frequent the Burvale, there used to be plenty of swilling back when I used to drop in for drink or two with my cricket club mates. Those were the days when you had to buy a supper ticket to listen to a cover band and keep drinking to stumps at midnight!

I saw Stefan Martin at Brunettis in Carlton last night sitting on a coffee waiting for someone. I scanned the place looking for Roosey no sign of him anywhere! Maybe they got their times mixed up.
