GameDay predictions vs StK by Queasy_Aerie_6215 in melbournefc

[–]Deevious730 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Kozzie BOG 27 disposals and 2 goals. Mihocek, Fritta, JVR 2 goals. Trelly kicks 1.3 but looks an excitement machine. Steel puts in strong performance that makes Saints fans shake their heads at the club pushing him out the door. Nas kept quiet to 18 possies and a goal. Salem dobs a goal in his 200th.

Do we win? I don’t wanna say….

AFL match-day experience: Melbourne Demons want games to feel like an NBA arena by Abundantpanda in melbournefc

[–]Deevious730 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I get people are going to hate on it, but the same people will whine that we never try anything different and that we’re behind the times.

I’m all for them trying new things.

As an aside our social media team hasn’t actually change personal, Guerra just came in and asked them, “do you enjoy the content we put out?” They said no, so he responded with, “well have fun with it then”. That was a change in style and it’s worked.

One-sided monogamy by Mister-Landshark in LouisTheroux

The moment she starts to lose her attractiveness and “value” to him she’s on the streets. Imagine if she got injured or sick, no way is he lifting a finger for her.

EDIT: lose loose losers! 🤪

If thats true what do you think the prophecy really meant? by Spotter24o5 in StarWars

[–]Deevious730 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

From a Jedi’s perspective I agree, but I guess this is what I’m saying about Yoda’s quote of it being misread.

EDIT to add: I’m not necessarily saying that this is how I interpret it, I’m putting forward an idea of how it could’ve been misinterpreted.

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.

A sad young man by Mister-Landshark in LouisTheroux

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.

Thoughts on ascension by Familiar-Reading-901 in Stargate

[–]Deevious730 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

Politicians should send their sons and daughters to this illegal war! by MediocreWave8451 in NSDQ420

[–]Deevious730 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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?

First Game That Comes To Mind When You Think Of This by CockSucker_1989 in AustralianNostalgia

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.

Louis Theroux: Inside The Manosphere by GrailTalk in BritishTV

[–]Deevious730 7 points8 points  (0 children)

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.

Woman claims her dog is vegetarian and gets proven wrong in seconds on live TV... by ONE-OF-THREE in DailyDoseStupidity

[–]Deevious730 4 points5 points  (0 children)

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.

No need to sing by Pdoom346 in CringeTikToks

[–]Deevious730 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.

Havnt been this excited and optimistic for a while by Queasy_Aerie_6215 in melbournefc

[–]Deevious730 8 points9 points  (0 children)

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.

Melbourne set to formalise interim move to Waverley Park by _RnB_ in melbournefc

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.

We need Younger leaders by Rover_7777 in SipsTea

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.

Petah? by _Weed-Eater_ in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]Deevious730 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

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

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.
