I wonder how the numbers are for western tourists. Have they also dropped?

Apparently not as TAT report they will achieve record numbers again this year.  Tourism is going up and up every year

Very happy Will.

Outside run is what we need and those 3 could make next year exciting.

It showed this year with getting Billy Hartung in although he was an A reserve type and now delisted.

Just don't to get to carried away until pen is to paper and we saw the Bombers pick 3 up last year and basically took them to long to gel.

But why not dare to dream.

Bulldogs,Tigers,West Coast,Norf?????

On the GF,with family members supporting both sides it was one of the rare years that i sat to watch it not really having a full on blast for one side just hoping for a close one.

My sister had to fly via Sydney and back from Perth just to get to the game at 3 times the normal airlines price but she's pretty happy now after being to 2 WCE losing granny's. 

Dad is still not talking.????

America hasn't really had a good image anyway.  I actually like Trump and Australia could do with a good strong leader like him.

You wont need Shiel your getting Harmes from us for pick 199......Tyson is shopping himself around as well a decent midfielder indeed, recons he's not getting enough games or something like that at Melbourne....he must be planning on doing stand up comedy after he retires he would have played around 15 games this year and most of last years as well....

 

The latest on Hogan is the players dont wanna see him leave but acknowledge he's had a rough time in recent times its been reported the Dee's have been upfront and blunt with the Dockers....2 first round pics or go suck a lemon....its also been rumored the Eagles could be interested since Kennedy is close to pension age well thats what was written....at 31 we all know he is in his prime and could easily play until he is 40 at the Saints...Anyway the Dee's do need a low first round pick if they have any hope of securing May from the Suns, you can bet your last dollar if Hogan goes they WILL move heaven and earth to pull May in....

 

Meanwhile Dee's show there hand with that North second string ruck, obviously we think more highly of him than they do...Pruss or how ever you spell his name was today encouraged by big Max to come on over and he stated he would be happy to share ruck duties with him...North WILL have a hard time keeping him now....

 

As a footnote...i find it hilarious that the Dockers are after Hogan...some years ago in the dreamtime they came knocking on the Melbourne Demons door for Koorie rockstar and the original star small froward (who ended up having a short career) to lure Jeff Farmer back home to the west, to sweeten the deal they handed the Dee's the first pick of what ever draft they called it then to an ineligible 17 year old something like that.....the MFC choose Hogan....there WILL be a big smile on my face if said up and coming rockstar is traded for 2 low first round draft picks when all it cost us was Jeff Farmer....sim salsa apple duel sim Xs phone....

Talk is the Dee's want to use max more forward and less ruck work

A great day for the club and supporters.

 

Time for the draft now.

 

 

 

 

Great to see the Eagles get up.  As a Vic I'm like a great deal of others and absolute hate Collingwood with a passion, absolutely despise that club

Saints have offered Dylan Shiel 8 million over 6 years beating hawthorns offer by 500k per year

To be honest I had to Google to see who he was.  Pool must be big in England and even know it was considered a sport

It's Thailand and the place is famous around the world for its sex.  Nothing to see here.

Typical white Australian and typical black Australian. 

Now did you look at your own post, it is the epitome of racism.  Here you are depicting all white Australians as uneducated dole bludging bogans and black Australians as highly educated and sophisticated leaders.  Did you know education and jobs are open to all races in Australia.  On Applications you tick are box that says are you of aboriginal decent, this gives you priority over a white.  You are calling out white racist but your hypocrisy is stifling

Hi Fellas

 

I just want to let you know I will not be posting on this website again. Thanks for a great time with the friendly banter and fun. Four teams left and I hope Melbourne make the GF. Have fun.

 

Rip

Sorry to hear you're leaving us, take care mate

Can't see it happening, still have that lady with the T shirt matter to resolve and that could take time.

Does this mean that the members get more medals and a submariner award to go with their parachute wings?

Is sedition illegal?

Sedition is the crime of revolting or inciting revolt against government. However, because of the broad protection of free speech under the first amendment, prosecutions for sedition are rare. ... Governments have made sedition illegal since time immemorial.

 

government petty small people.

Wouldn't a coup fall into the category of sedition or protests like the one held by Suthep?  Looking at the definition of sedition I would say so.  Coup after coup and no one is ever charged but a little person is arrested and charged by those who did the same thing.

How many times have we all heard, "you don't understand Thai people?"  If you live in Thailand it is constant. 

 

The cartoonist said, "Maybe there’s a different understanding of cartooning in Australia to America,”  Sounds the same as Thailand only he is saying you don't understand Australian people. 

 

From the Irish newspapers

 

I doubt many Irish observers can have looked at the Serena Williams cartoon without being reminded of our own grim history at the hands of cartoonists of the Victorian era, who depicted us as heavy-browed apes, feckless alcoholics and combative thugs. Those thick-Paddy stereotypes haven’t entirely gone away, either.  

 

And from Australia.

 

The Australian writer Yassmin Abdel-Magied, who has spoken of her own experiences of racism and sexism in her country, has tweeted in response to the cartoon: “Racism – as in, the structures of society that make it difficult for those who are non-White to be truly and unconditionally ‘Australian’, and that perpetuate systemic inequality in Australia – is so embedded, is such a normal way of ‘doing business’, pointing to it feels facile.

 

Wow now you are really scraping the bottom of the barrel referring to Yassmin Abdel-Magied, to support your anti Australia attacks.  Yassmin is a Sudanese immigrant who constantly publically insults whites with vile disgusting quotes the absolute epitome of à "RACIST"  The same woman who made vile disgusting comments about service men and women who gave their lives for the country she received refuge in.  She was removed from her job for her racist rants eventually fleeing the country for the U.K

Does Murdoch own it?

Murdoch is American and has no control over aussies and our thoughts and opinions, Americans may think they can tell the world what to do but everyday aussies will never be pushed around by americans

It is racist.  I have not been hysterical at all.  There is a quote function feel free to use it.  I think the Arabs want to shoot people.  All I said is if you want to draw a racist cartoon expect black folk to call it a racist cartoon.  Does that sound hysterical to you?

Yes very much so as there is absolutely nothing racist about it.

For American blacks I read the media and for the Aussies I read the cartoonist interview and his publisher.  My guess is that America will not let it drop and the cartoonist and publisher will both be fired.  Just a guess. 

Will never happen, mark knight is a legend and his statue has now grown even higher after being attacked by yanks. Australia is right behind him and we have his back and snowflake Americans will never touch our icon.
