You're a redneck racist if you want our citizens to obey the law?
Doubt it, Old Son. Pretty sure you'll find that lefties, righties, middies, blackies, whities, rainbowies, uppies and downies all want to see our laws obeyed and extremist criminals locked away for longer. That c0ckhead up the road from us who killed two people (Brighton) should never have been let loose on the streets and if we end up with stricter laws for violent extremist religious types/druggies - good. Ultimately though, it still comes down to disaffected and disenfranchised people attaching themselves to anti-social groups and carrying out these heinous crimes... along with druggies. Humans eh!!!
With that mentality the problem will only get bigger. If you wish to live in a country, you live by the laws of the land. Once you disrespect those laws something must be done. By holding hands and singing kumbaya you achieve sweet f.... all!
Isn't Kumbaya My Lord a Christian song? Damn those far right Fundamental Christians
Your obsession with the 'left' is getting weird. Have you broken the indicator arm on your car so it can't flash 'left!' Is your definition of the 'left' a group of pacifistic, politically correct, turn the other cheek types? I really am not sure what you regard as a 'leftie'.
Or knifed. Like in Portland, USA. Did you hear about 2 heroes who were knifed to death on a train by a right-wing extremist simply because they told him to stop bullying 2 Muslim girls? Strange that Trump doesn't seem to have noticed that one (other than 1 brief tweet).
By the way, wasn't Trump going to simply bomb the sheet out of ISIS? How's that working?
Thank God for someone like Trump. Without him, no one would know about ISIS. It's not as if Obama went after terrorists, is it? By the way, did you like Zero Dark Thirty? Wonder if the intelligence community in the US, UK and other Western countries (including Australia) have foiled any terrorist plots over the last decade and a half. I'd imagine they all just watch TV all day and tweet nonsense like a lying piece of pond scum does all the time.
Who are these lefties you speak of? What are they? Aren't they the ones heavily into social justice/human rights and environmental issues? Then wouldn't they be appalled by any representation of violence to another person? I think MIO put it well.
Any coach with even half a brain will hopefully tell you that both defense and offense wins you games and flags. If defense was king, Ross Lyon would have a few flags by now.
Well, I hope you're right, although I have my reservations about Melbourne being a suitable model to follow.
No doubt Bolts has put down dots on paper, and some of you seem to be able to join those dots and see the picture he's trying to make. Me, I'm undecided at this point. I can see little things here and there, but doubts remain.
I know and I understand that, but Im worried that it becomes a bit confidence sapping to not get the reward for effort.
It will expose those players who are not up to it in the long term, and hopefully we have a way to manage our players through such difficulty, but it worries me that too many games without winning may see players starting to lose focus and belief in what they are doing.
Thats when they can drop off, or worse, want out.
Exactly my thoughts, 3 Leos. You can't build a culture of excellence by continually losing, regardless of how we lose. I firmly believe that Kreuzer, Gibbs, Murphy and others who joined at a similar time we negatively influenced by too many losses. I understand the club has smaller, incremental goals within so the players can have something to strive for and succeed at, but that kind of 'winning' doesn't feed the success beast for long. Nothing succeeds like success.
We're 2nd bottom and that's a pox and a scourge. A culture of excellence comes from wins on the big stage with everyone watching. The Doggies fast tracked kids and no-names into a premiership unit in quick time... they were behind the Demons and Aints but flew past them. Everyone was singing praise and potential re the Demons and Aints at the end of last year and early this year but neither is a serious threat to any deep September action any time soon. In fact we should have beaten both of them this year and they're supposed to be 3-4 years ahead of us in terms of an effective rebuild - what a load of bullsh1t.
The one thing that I would say about Cunninghams goal.
He took posession in the centre square, and handballed forward to either of Cripps or Gibbs, and then followed up by running hard into forward fifty to then finish from 35.
That might have got him over the line. If you watch the footage, and keep your eyes peeled you will see him start and finish that forward thrust.
I still liked Docherty's better, but maybe its reward for effort... No harm in that at all!
Yes, I did notice that and it's exactly what Cuningham needs to focus on... stay focussed and stay in the contest... when he gets the aggott he's very good with decision and disposal, even elite with decision and disposal. Reckon you're probably right.
Just watched the VFL game highlights on the CFC website. Two things stood out from this minuscule sample... how often Le Bois figured in pressuring and linking and the bloody awful music backing.
This is the first time I had an opportunity to go to a game this year and despite the loss and the 1st quarter, it was enjoyable. I like the look of the youngsters. I am still somewhat concerned that we are so reliant on our aging players like Murph, Gibbs and Kruze in the midfield. Hopefully we have a strong focus on recruiting quality midfielders in the off season.
Exactly. Hopefully securing a marquee player or two is midfield focussed.
Docherty's was the one for me. The overlap run and drilled it from outside fifty to either put us in front, or bring us within a kick.
Absolutely could have been our goal of the day... maybe the club gave it to Cuningham to pump up his tyres; give him confidence, good goal but no pressure and only 35 metres out? Crippa's, Gibbsey's and Doc's were all under pressure.
Speaking of goals... I was astonished that the club didn't give our goal of the day to Crippa or Gibbs. Yes, Cuningham's was a ripper but Crippa had to fend off Zeibell and kick from further out... and Gibbs' kick around his body to kick a goal was phenomenal. I though Crippa's goal should have got the nod... bought the house down when it sailed through.
Aren't they the ones heavily into social justice/human rights and environmental issues? Then wouldn't they be appalled by any representation of violence to another person? I think MIO put it well.
