@Dons_Nation_ No there isn’t. The only other midfielder in this category was Parish and he’s been “managed”. Perkins was another - dropped. Those playing now have limitations but they at least give effort and are prepared to run and be physical.

@Dons_Nation_ Why does Tsatas get off Scoot free? Doesn’t tackle, doesn’t run, doesn’t put his body on the line. Does accumulate low impact possession. The coach is right not to pick him.

Feels like the treatment of Tsatas is the one thing that’s brought all Essendon fans together. No one thinks he’s the savior or even will ever be an A grade player but the disgraceful treatment he’s copped from Scott over the last couple years beggars belief.

@sultmiz @caitoz How so?

@RationalMan74 @caitoz UN is the Western World.

Basically every Israel-Palestine debate goes like this: "Israel did X." "Yeah, because the Palestinians did Y." "Yeah, because Israel did Z." "Yeah but only because the Arabs did A." But if you bring the debate back far enough in time, eventually you get to the part where the western world forcibly dropped a brand new ethnostate on top of a pre-existing civilization without the permission of — and to the extreme detriment of — the people who were already living there. Sure you can go further back and say "Oh yeah well the Jews lived there thousands of years ago," but that's just silly. There's no valid reason to believe some Jewish guy in New York City even has any meaningful lineage connecting him to that land more strongly than any random Muslim in Turkey or wherever, and even if there was, it would still be absurd to cite ancient history as the basis for a territorial claim. I'm only a few generations removed from my ancestry in Ireland and Scotland, but it would be ridiculous for me to show up demanding the home of someone who lives there. So the original source for the grievance is clearly the artificial creation of an ethnonationalist state in the mid-20th century, and the push by Zionists and western imperialists to make it happen. And how has that decision worked out? You see the results before you. Generations of nonstop violence and abuse, culminating in the slaughter and chaos throughout the middle east today. This means that creating Israel was a mistake. A mistake that needs to be corrected. Zionists will collapse into a shrieking pile of vitriol and hyperbole when you say this, claiming you're calling for the extermination of Jews, but this is false. Certainly ending a national order premised on putting the interests of Jews before Palestinians and righting the wrongs of the past would inconvenience a lot of the Jewish people who've been living there, but there's no basis for the claim that it would entail their deaths. Apartheid South Africa was dismantled without the extermination of millions of white people, and there's no reason to believe the dismantling of apartheid Israel would entail the extermination of Jews. The Israel experiment has been tried, and it has failed. It is time to try something else.

@CatchUpFeed Suicidal empathy claims another victim.

British woman who acts like she represents the average British woman claims that women in Britain would be much safer around migrant men than they would be around white, patriotic British men. Mentalist.

@KirstiMiller30 British Bulldog. Played it at school back in 80’s.

I grew up in Wagga Wagga where the kids growing up used to play a game called "Red Rover Cross Over". It was mainly a boys game where all the boys would gather in a group at the end of the playground with one boy standing in the middle of the playground. He'd yell "Red Rover Cross Over” and all the other kids had to run to the other end of the playground without being caught. The kid in the middle had to catch and hold one of them while yelling "caught 123" The kid caught would then join the kid in the middle for the next call of "Red Rover Cross Over" during which both kids in the middle would catch another kid who would stay in the middle and so on. The last kid caught would win the game and he'd be the one to stay in the middle for next round. It was good fun (my three daughters used to play it most afternoons with me) while giving the kids exercise and training for future rugby teams or other sports. Can anyone else recall playing the same game?

@liparota Maybe Tsatas takes some responsibility? 19 games but also season 4, not a kid by AFL standards. Defensive efforts at stoppage and transition woeful. Watch how he never gets out of a jog. Pathetic. Perkins Has been dropped as well. Parish “managed”. Not a scape goat.

I asked for a public explanation so can’t be hypocritical be gee whizz. Apportioning the blame to a 19 game player on how best player in comp and, a 400-game player, got into space with the rest being publicly absolved is incredible. Get out while you still have a career Elijah.

@ScooterMcNeice Was moving very, very well yesterday. Gliding across the top of the ground, last week he looked like he was running in quicksand. Could really see the power in his movement - exciting.

First time i have sensed Robey picking up AFL pace of the game. Looks much more involved today and getting to the right spots. He is an underrated kick too

@LondonVoice_ Right back at ya mate!

As a Londoner, I would rather 100,000 Australians move into my neighbourhood than 1,000 Indians or Somalis.

@theafroaussie @UNSW Do you stand behind this study and how its findings have been presented? Do you believe it is accurate to say that 1 in 5 Australian men have sexually abused a child?

TW: Here in Australia, 1 in 5 men have sexually abused a child.

@angijones This has now been posted widely and it’s a disgrace. It’s extraordinarily damaging to society to demonise men in this way.

One in 5 Australian men have sexually abused a child according to a recent study. Guard your children!

@AmyMek Ranks alongside why do western leaders sign lopsided FTA’s with India as the most baffling questions of our time. Suspect the answer to both questions is the same - cheap labour for big business and grows raw GDP for Gov’s.

Can anyone name a single positive reason why any Western leader is importing Islam into their country? Anyone….

@MarkoMatvikov How does the word “deported” not appear in that timeline. Sadly this is yet another example of suicidal empathy.

Has a history of serious violence and mental health issues Convicted in 2008 for stabbing a police officer and dog Spent 9 years in prison Referred to anti-terror program in 2020 Anti-terror case closed in the same year Free to stab innocent people in 2026

@HeathLyons @MStastnik DE isn’t what you think it is. He is absoloutely not one of our 3 best kicks.

@MStastnik Want to re-think that? Been one of the best users over the 3 weeks.

Can see it now, Tsatas will walk away at seasons end & be picked up and be a gun in another side. Has Massimo written all over it.

@HeathLyons I knew Mass would do well elsewhere. Voss too. Tsatas - not so much. If he gets picked up it’ll be by a club as dumb as we were when we took him at pick 5. Has very limited value, don’t see that this one will come back to haunt us.

@PrisonPlanet @sharrond62 Can only assume that’s what they want to happen.

Spain's mass amnesty of half a million illegals has caused a "functional collapse of social services across Madrid." Who could have possibly foreseen this?

@SpicyJ81 @ScooterMcNeice Sure thing Mrs Tsatas 🤣

@RationalMan74 @ScooterMcNeice Just say you don’t know ball

Totally gob smack at Tsatas. Lost me

@BomberRicko There are two sides to the game “dunbass”. Ironic. Watch what Parish and Tsatas do when the other team has the footy and you might understand why dropped.

@BomberRicko Worth noting that opposition mids were the dominant players in both losses. Parish and Tsatas were tried and failed. Both are defensive liabilities and not good enough with the footy to justify carrying them.

I know others have covered the Tsatas omission, but look at this: Centre throwups/clrncs vColl: Durham 19/1 Caldwell 8/0 Parish 22/1 Merrett 16/1 McGrath 13/1 Tsatas 14/2 V Suns Durham 4/1 Caldwell 21/0 Parish 30/5 Merrett 16/2 McGrath 16/2 Tsatas 24/6 So we have just rested our second best centre clearance mid (Parish) and decided NOW is the time to drop our best centre clearances mid (Tsatas) It makes no sense.

@JakeDav08180745 He has to defend. Which he has refused to do ever since he got to the club.

Genuinely, why would they drop Tsatas? What does he have to do to get a consistent run of matches?
