@mynameisfrogger @essendonfc Simpson was probably right. We will be 0-6 which will be 19 losses in a row. That's gonna bring a lot of pressure

@FBDonkey @essendonfc Thought Essendon might have a bit of an uptick this season. Can talk yourself into seeing things that aren't there, but it's hard to detect a mountain of spirit You wonder how much runway Brad Scott has.

@anfieldforge This is a load of crap. It's not like they are being relegated. I've seen much worse Liverpool teams avoid the boos

There’s a lot being said about Liverpool fans booing, leaving early, and the atmosphere at Anfield. But what you don’t hear nearly enough about is the reason why. Do you understand how bad things have to be for Liverpool fans to leave early? This is a fanbase that stayed and sang through some of the worst years in the club’s history. People don’t just walk out of Anfield lightly. Many supporters travel long distances, pay serious money for tickets, and plan their weeks around being there. When they start leaving before full time, it’s not because they suddenly don’t care, it’s because what they’re watching has become painfully difficult to sit through. And the booing, Do people realise how rare that actually is at Liverpool? This is a crowd that has built a reputation worldwide for backing the team relentlessly, even when things aren’t going well. Liverpool supporters are famous for lifting the players when they’re struggling, creating an atmosphere that can drag a team through difficult moments. For that same crowd to start voicing their frustration tells you just how far things have fallen. If fans aren’t excited, if they’re not on their feet urging the team forward, if the atmosphere feels flat, then maybe the conversation shouldn’t be about the supporters. Maybe the real question should be about the football they’re being asked to watch. Liverpool fans don’t expect to win every game. They’ve never demanded perfection. What they expect is effort, intensity, identity, something that reflects what the club is supposed to stand for. When that disappears, when the football becomes slow, lifeless, and uninspiring, frustration is inevitable. So before criticising the fans, maybe try understanding what it takes to push a crowd like that to the point of booing. Because when Liverpool supporters turn, it’s rarely without reason.

@Della794 @CraiG_Mc Agree. I don't think they wanted to trade. An early offer may have put enough pressure on them to do it tho. Hawks handling it so badly gave them a very easy walk away.

@FBDonkey @CraiG_Mc When your capt asks to be traded u then try and make the trade, I don’t believe at any stage Ess were interested in trading Merrett and that’s their call, whether or not anybody thinks what the hawks offered was enough to get the deal done is up for debate.

I’ve seen a lot of people saying we’ve stuffed up the rebuild by not trading Zach Merrett and questioning the picks we’ve used during the rebuild. Firstly, regardless of where the picks were taken, we’ve clearly targeted players that fill needs on the list. 2023: Caddy (Pick 10 – Fwd) Lual* (Pick 39 – HB/Speed) Roberts (Pick 54 – HB/Mid) Visentini (Pick 8 Rookie Draft- Ruck) 2024: Kako (Pick 13 – Small Fwd/Mid) Gerreyn (Pick 37 – Ruck/Fwd) Clarke (Pick 39 – Def/Wing/HF) Unwin (Pick 61 – Small Fwd) Zak Johnson (Pick 70 – HB/Good Ball User) Acher Day-Wicks (Pick 6 Rookie Draft- Fwd/Mid) 2025: Robey (Pick 9 – Mid/Fwd) Farrow (Pick 10 – HB/Mid) Sharp (Pick 13 – Mid/Leadership/Work Rate) Max Kondogiannis (Pick 36 – HB/Athletic/Run/Ball Use) El Achkar (Pick 53 – Small Fwd) Regardless of the exact pick number, we’ve taken players who fill needs, balance the list better and add more depth than we’ve probably had in a long time. I’ve always maintained it’s not just about the pick you have, it’s about identifying the right player at that pick. Yes, time will ultimately tell with some of these players, but from a list-build perspective I feel like we’ve made the right choices so far. That’s a good starting point. How they all develop and come together is the part we’ll have to wait and see. #GoDons

"Essendon are no longer part of the big four. They're not a big club!" The Bombers' decades of woes mean they're no longer among the Victorian powers, and refusing to trade Zach Merrett will only make it worse, says #OnTheCouch's Jack Riewoldt.

I faded Grlj and he's on 44 at HT. Feel free to grill me on this post later 😜 But the reasoning was that I thought short and banks would have more control over HB. Short 15 d Banks 14 d Grlj 7 He could ton up from here yes, but the principal is sound so far.

One of the worst things about round 0 is that so many supercoachers get to avoid terrible picks because they see them play in the real thing 🤦‍♂️

@FBDonkey 100%, it takes some of the fun out of it for sure. On the other hand, some people might get sucked in by a good Round 0 score.

Americans are propagandized to believe that the US only goes after evil people or communists or threats, but Iran is proof that’s not the case. We overthrew their beloved, democratically elected leader, just to install a puppet who would sell us their oil for cheap, at direct cost to the entire population of Iran. And it’s worth to mentioning, that if the US never did that, the IRGC would never have even existed. I’m sure you’ll argue that’s irrelevant to the point, but if you look at the aftermath of the hundreds of coups and international conflicts the US has been behind, it generally ends very very poorly for millions of people. And in spite of that, we keep doing it, knowing that the cost is very likely to be cataclysmic for so many.

My followers are NOT ready for this post, but it’s simply objectively true.
Caitlin Johnstone@caitoz

Iran is better than the United States. The United States is worse than Iran. This is true not because Iran is especially good, but because the United States is especially evil. Iran isn’t blanketing a major metropolis with military explosives, killing over a thousand people including hundreds of children. The United States is doing this with its partner in crime Israel. Iran isn’t continuously bombing and invading countries around the world, toppling governments, circling the globe with hundreds of military bases, targeting civilian populations with siege warfare and brandishing nuclear weapons at its enemies in the name of securing planetary domination. Only the United States is. The US empire is the single most murderous and tyrannical power structure on earth, by an extremely massive margin. No one else comes anywhere remotely close. Not Iran. Not anybody. Every government in the world is morally superior to the most evil government, and the most evil government is the United States. Whenever I say this I get US empire apologists going “We’re only the ones fighting the wars and dropping the bombs because we happen to be the ones with the power to do so!” But that’s false. The US isn’t the world’s most vicious government because it happens to be the most powerful, it’s the most powerful government because it’s the most vicious. It’s the power structure which was willing to do whatever it takes to rule the world, no matter how profoundly evil. Genocides. Starvation sanctions. Nuclear brinkmanship. Imperialist extraction. The deliberate creation of failed states and humanitarian catastrophes. Policies designed to keep entire regions in a continuous state of division and strife. The United States and the globe-spanning empire structured around it have inflicted depravities upon our species which cry out to the heavens for vengeance. If you could truly comprehend the scale of the suffering it has created over the years, even for a second, you would never stop screaming. Another objection I’ll encounter when I make these observations is “Well, I’d rather live in the US than Iran!” And it says so much about the western worldview that people think this is an argument. Sure it’s probably nicer to live in the United States than Iran, especially now, and certainly ever since the US has been deliberately strangling the Iranian economy with the explicitly stated goal of making its citizenry so miserable they wage a civil war against their government. But it’s so revealing that westerners see someone saying Iran is better than the United States and think it’s a statement about where they personally would prefer to live, because it shows how completely invisible US warmongering is in their worldview. Washington’s acts of mass military slaughter simply do not count as immoral or abusive behavior in their eyes, because they are being inflicted on foreigners overseas. So they automatically assume the comparison is asking which country would make your feelings feel nicer to live in as an individual. The fact that the US government happens to export the majority of its abusiveness to other countries outside its own borders doesn’t make it any less murderous and tyrannical, it just means the people bearing the brunt of its savagery happen to live in other places. Their lives don’t matter any less than American lives, and only a warped, American supremacist worldview would feel otherwise. The US government is quantifiably morally inferior to the Iranian government. It is quantifiably more tyrannical, more murderous, more destructive, and more megalomaniacal. It is the very last power structure on earth that should have any say in who leads Iran and how the Iranians ought to conduct their affairs. It is not morally qualified to be making those decisions.
