Pick 11. Who would you choose?

[Akum 2,660]

Talia, because of his mobility, disposal, ballgetting ability and versatility.

And because I think (hope?) that Tapscott will still be available at 18 so we can pick him up then.

Agree on Talia - clearly the best tall at that point if we are going to go for a tall.

Plus that would really upset Carlton so even better!!

Talia also gives us cover if Garlard or any of the other defenders get injured.

I can also see us giving Garland a good go up forward where i think he has a lot to offer!

I thought that Black Jack was a card game, what's racist about that?

Haven't you heard? Any term with the word "B***K in it is now considered taboo. Hence the uproar when Rex Hunt used the term B***K Dog when describing a terrible day. Of course, anyone who is even remotely educated would recognise the term as referring to clinical depression and as such be outraged at his lack of sensitivity to those suffering a debilitation psychological condition, but perhaps even saying that counts as racism by implying that people who were offended are uneducated and that as the term was construed to be a slur against B***K people I must have been saying that B***K people are all uneducated.

Of course, although the name of the card game is clearly a reference to the colour of the Jack in question (ooohhh, we can't make a refeerence to the colour of a card, that's cardist!), perhaps there is a hidden slur here as well. By emphasising the B***K cards rather than the R*D cards, are we not in fact granting ownership of the game to B***K people and thus implying that they are prone to problem gambling? Surely then we must drop all references to colour from the title and simply call the game "Jack." Likewise, Roulette wheels should now have two sets of numbers, each of exactly the same colour, and accept bets at 2-1 odds that the ball will land on this colour.

Wouldn't that imply that all people called Jack have a gambling problem. Perhaps Jack's Watts, Grimes and Trengove will seek compensation or counseling.

Curses. We can't call it 21 either, that implies that 21 year-olds gamble. I must admit I'm a little puzzled on this one.

I cant believe the 'Butcher by foot' is rated so highly in front of the other KPs when he has so many faults to his game and is so one dimensional.

It's go me stuffed!

I think you're being facetious but one point of fact - Hunt referred to Leon Davis as being 'as black as a dog's guts.'

I believe that to be a mildly racist comment...

And a majorly stupid comment.

Are you positive? I seem to recall him saying he was having a "black dog of a day." However I could be (and often are) mistaken as I have rarely payed much attention to Rex and try to tune him out whenever he's on the air.

RM - I replied to your post in my Unreadable thread in the General Discussion board as I felt that Rex Hunt didn't need to be on the recruiting board.
