I think what should be banned is "bump".

Personally hate it when people bump an old thread. I have had some brilliant work since I started posting in 2009, and I've also had some terrible stuff. I've been intoxicated at times when posting, where I'm sure there I have posted stuff that I don't want rearing its ugly head. If, in a drunken state, I've admitted to having a feeling of lust toward BBO, I don't want that brought back to haunt me.

Not even alcohol could induce such an unbelievable horror as that. i suspect you must have been on some very serious drugs for such a total loss of reality

    Just saw one of those cliches that really get my back up and which I thought I had finally been expunged from my memory banks, in the Welcome Petracca thread...

    "I would/wouldn't want blah blah blah, next to me in the trenches."

    Unless you and "blah blah blah" work for the Water Board or you are a soldier in possession of a reliable fully functioning time machine, it's never likely to happen.

    I have taken appropriate steps in banning the substances I used to put in to my body.

    At your approval, I'd appreciate it if we can give this some time to see if my posting becomes more consistent.

    Just another one, with your indulgence. "The proof is in the pudding."

    And the proof is not in the pudding. The proof (i.e. the test) of the pudding is in the eating.

    It is cathartic to express one's darkest desires billy.

    Where the hell did you get that definition?

    Good god.

    A troll, when used on an internet forum, is someone who is only trying to say things and direct conversation designed to get a rise out of people for their own enjoyment.

    We have had a few of those other the journey.

    For all intensive purposes.

    Bordering on mixed metaphor territory.

    Well if a pudding were to pass an eating test, wouldn't the proof be in the eating, and the pudding ?

  • Quote

    I think it's in both. If a pudding passes an eating test there is proof there that the pudding making process was sound and had proof in it. Can't have one without the other. Yang and yang stuff.

    I saw the picture of Mitch Clark at Geelong training and i think the proof is in the pudding.

    Well, just like the definition of a mythical creature living under a bridge was hijacked to define an internet troll, so it has been again...

    Language is interesting like that - the same word completely different meanings in different scenarios. Take 'hijacked' for example; "The training thread was hijacked by emotion and self-righteousness" is troublesome, but if I was on a plane and said "the plane was hijacked by Ishmael and Queequeg," then that would be cause for more alarm (and surprise)...

    If you are on a forum and you are trying to get a rise out of people purely for your Ss and Gs - you are a troll.

    This isn't something to continue to argue about - it's just a fact.

    Merely pointing out my understanding of the term and, therefore, my objection to being referred to as such given that was in no way my intent.

    All done and thanks for your input.

    "it all goes well for the future" . This was a magnificent linguistic [censored] up. It came from augurs well ( like the future looks good) not augers well (which is like drilling a hole). Illiterate footballer after illiterate footballer would confidently claim "it all goes well for the future". The coodabeens got years out of this.

    Ishmael and Queequeg? Characters from Moby Dick on a plane yes I would be very alarmed! Don't tell me Captain Ahab is up the front end and in charge.

    Queequeg would have been a serious "get your own ball" mid!

    • PODCAST: 2026 Season Preview

      The boys previewed the 2026 Season sharing their early impressions of the new coach, the new players, observations from preseason training, and what they've made of the new game style. They also look ahead to the season with their predictions, the players they expect to rise, their expectations for the team, and what they see as a realistic pass mark for Melbourne in 2026.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      When the Demons blew their 46-point lead at Marvel Stadium in Round 20 last year, the fallout was enormous. Like an event straight out of a Shakespearean tragedy, Melbourne’s final-quarter collapse left fans reeling and the club grappling with the aftermath.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.
