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 think Billy needs to banned after that...

    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!

    • AFLW PREVIEW: West Coast

      Epic battle alert.  This Sunday, Casey Fields hosts a coach’s showdown pitting the wits of the master Mick Stinear (92 games, 71.7% win rate) against his protégé Daisy Pearce (16 games, 43.8%). Still early in her coaching journey, Daisy’s record doesn’t yet reflect her impact — but she’s already the best-performed coach at West Coast.Dais’ is mythic.  Like Katniss Everdeen, everyone either wants to kiss her, kill her (sporting metaphor) or be her.  Toothers Daisy Pearce is a role model, someone admired for their heart, humility and humour.

    • AFLW REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.
