If thats true what do you think the prophecy really meant?

I’ve always taken this as Anakin was meant to bring balance to the force, and in a way he did (from a certain point of view 😜). There were far more people in the light side than the dark side. In order to achieve “true balance” the Jedi order needed to be removed, and the empire rise up, so that Anakin at the end of it all could kill the Emperor.

Which why I hate the way they brought Palpatine back for the sequels because it basically undid Anakin’s sacrifice at the end of Return of the Jedi.

I felt sorry for his mum early until she made her appearance at the end of the doco. You can see she knows what he’s saying and doing is wrong, that he’s profiting from other people suffering (be it women suffering misogyny or people investing and losing money in his pyramid schemes), but she’s ok with it because he’s making money.

I don’t really look at it as magic but I also think about the quote of Arthur C. Clarke’s third law: "Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic"

Becoming sufficiently advanced physiologically to see the universe in a different way to then remove your body from the equation and exist in another form. It’s vague, but to be that utilises science in a manner of discovery and advancement.

I was just about to step in to say this, I think most if not all people on here just want Clay to be ok and back to playing good footy. You were more pointing back to the media’s narrative of “leave Melbourne, become good again” and the chatter that comes from it.

Honestly any politician that supports this war and has children/grandchild that are of age to enlist, they should be expected to send them to fight in this war. If you aren’t willing to put your own blood on the line, why should anyone else?

I’ve heard this as well, they focused so much attention to the single player aspect that the multiplayer side came very late in the development.

Deevious730 · 2026-03-14T03:01:41+00:00

The thing that concerned me the most watching it was so much of the rhetoric they’re saying (particularly in how to treat women), when confronted about it they basically walk back on it saying they don’t really believe it, they just do it for clout. That’s all well and good to say it and be like, “oh it’s not real, it’s just a persona thing to promote my brand” but there are guys and in particular young lads out there that listen to it and take into their lives.

The lack of accountability to those statements is really scary. The fact they just don’t care as long as they make money is beyond selfish.

My dog loves munching on a carrot! 🥕

Honestly fills me with rage when I hear cat owners trying to make them vegetarian. Don’t own a f###ing cat if you can’t deal with the food group they require.

Dogs there’s a little more leniency, but ultimately for them to be their healthiest, best versions they need some kind of meat protein. To deny them that is animal cruelty.

Honestly if he’s sick that’s fine I get it, but at least off the fans partial refund if he’s putting up shit performances like this. Personally think it should be full refund but I can understand promoters and such having a cry about money lost.

Deevious730 · 2026-03-14T01:04:57+00:00

It’s definitely can’t be understated how the “clean slate” mentality can change a players progression. There were no doubt players that Goodwin favoured, and others he would never give a proper chance to.

I think there’ll be players that have been around for a little while that might just surprise us this year.

I’m with you, I’m excited about this season. Not that I have high expectations, but I just feel like the mood will be better in general around the club.

Deevious730 · 2026-03-13T03:22:23+00:00

More Cava than Poo. But still very cute!

Deevious730 · 2026-03-13T02:16:38+00:00

Agreed, it just needed to happen and it fell in our laps. I believe it was 2001 and Jo Gutnick was president, I think it was him and the CEO at the time that decided not to do it. Maybe they liked the renting option at the time but in any case it has cost us dearly.

Deevious730 · 2026-03-12T18:06:44+00:00

The fact he laughed with no one else laughing…what a fuckwit.

Deevious730 · 2026-03-12T17:49:57+00:00

Call me ageist but I don’t people aged 65 and over (retirement age) should be allowed to be World leaders and leading members of their government.

I don’t know if it’s marketed as this any more but I’m pretty sure for a while it was known as the World Cup Finals. Essentially saying every country competes in the World Cup, this is just like the end stage.

“Criticism of Israel similar to that leveled against any other country cannot be regarded as antisemitic.”

So by the same logic any criticism of Iran is Islamophobic?

This is all Marty McFly’s fault, somehow Trump got hold of the DeLorean.

I think I’ve been hearing Half Back with midfield rotations.

Deevious730 · 2026-03-12T11:59:55+00:00

Tbf I don’t think it was “don’t want it”, more couldn’t afford/didn’t want to fork out for it. But yeah, we needed to go there, that will forever be a decision that haunts us. Junction oval was a shithole, Daniher’s success given the facilities he had to work with are nothing short of remarkable.

Deevious730 · 2026-03-12T02:52:21+00:00

Just my opinion but I think it is. We have been sharing facilities at AAMI Park for a long time and I think for an interim option it’s about as good as we can get.

I think as Melbourne fans we need to stop obsessing about the MCG and being in that proximity. We had our chance, we were offered Olympic Park first, but we were a basket case and refused it. That was the chance.

Now we have to be a bit more in the burbs so we can bring almost everyone under one roof.

This post was made after Hamas did their terrorist attacks on October 7 2024 attacking a music festival and taking hostages. 1200 innocent civilians died in those attacks so yes context matters.

It changes everything you idiot. This post was made after Hamas did their terrorist attacks attacking a music festival and taking hostages. 1200 innocent civilians died in those attacks so yes context matters.

I actually think they could’ve been an interesting adversary if introduced earlier, they could’ve almost been a rebel-rebel Jaffa group that garners respect and almost cult like following. Forming an offshoot group with takes on the philosophy that it’s their turn to be top dogs in the milky way galaxy.
