You're off topic. Go start another thread.

...

it's actually in contention whether I did stray off topic, as I had raised a contentious issue in the first place, so contentiously I thought I would deviate slightly, before uncontentiously bringing the thread back on topic.

Unfortunately the personal insults are a fact of life on website forums, it's not ideal but as it's anonymous then it's bound to happen. And yes I've been guilty of it as much as anyone else who visits this board.

Best this to do is to just ignore these posts, there's still been some good discussion in this thread. People post to get a reaction, take the award away from them and the incentive to do it will vanish.

That depends on the forums. I follow a number of boards where robust exchanges take place without personal insults ...

... while remaining on-topic.

Which this post isn't. My apologies.

Healey/Hughes: Whatever is going to happen, it probably needs to happen this year, though that's equally true of a number of players. Could be an interesting post-season.

We drafted Healey in 2008 because we liked him - he had no chance to show that in 2009 due to injury so it's completely understandable to give him a chance.

The FD clearly rate Hughes in the changing game, they met their obligation redrafting him and have gone further - I'll back them.

It'a been well covered that the Meesen and Newton moves delivered Gawn and Fitzpatrick while retaing our reputation with player managers and players as a club to be trusted. It's not that hard to understand

There it is in a nutshell... although I posted cos I thought Jarka deserved some kudos for putting it so succintly.


I'm sure they're also discouraged from listening to what the crowd yells out from the boundary, what fans chat to them about and what is discussed on radio, etc.

Opposition supporters at the ground say better stuff about our players than do the posters on here and 'ology.

Before he was drafted i read some decent raps on him on bigfooty, yes i no bigfooty.... But that was before he was drafted i think so no biased opinions really.

Healey that is.

  • DRAFT: The Next Generation

    It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

  • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

    A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
