'ology

In what way? He didn't exactly get a rousing reception here either.

I reckon a thread like the Magner one wouldn't have been deemed worthy of a reply over the road.

Some good posters here (where is Hannibal btw?) but I can't cop a gazillion posts using different words to say the same thing.

 

'Ology was like walking into an old western saloon where the sheriff had been run outta town.

I miss the dirty glasses already.

(where is Hannibal btw?)

Sheepishly puts his hand in the air. I was permanently banned. One day I could no longer access the site. I couldn't really tell you why as I had zero communication, or explanation. I'm not complaining, as that's their business, and I suspect I know why. C'est la vie. If I'm subsequently banished never to be seen again you know'll why, or maybe not - although they've known since day one who B-H really is, so if I'm a good boy ...

I joined 'land in Nov, 2002 and 'ology in Oct, 2004. From around the time I joined 'Ology I would have posted there far more often for 2/3 years. When life was boring over summer it was Rono that kept me entertained. He's a left field thinker and to be honest I don't share many of his views on footy, but his unique style of posting is very talented. I actually like Ron, but I think he'd be too proud to join here again. I hope I'm wrong.

But without wishing to sound condescending I grew out of that site. Clearly some people still love it, but to me it's now irrelevant. I see no need for it, but obviously others disagree.

Hmmm, always thought it would be the case that many of the old "ology posters would find their way here under different names.

Shame, as Hannibal was one of my favs, even though I didnt agree on everything.

On a tangent, am I the only one that subconsciously shies away from jumping into a converstion/debate with certain long-time posters, while they are involved in a one on one?

Hannibal was always one of them. Not sure why. Might have been the air of seniority. Always enjoyed watching the old stagers take each other on.

TGR is another. I find myself only being able to take pot shots, and not engage in anything too in depth.

Its funny what a difference a name change can make.

I'm no different, although I can't get away with what I used to, which I suppose is one of the things I miss about 'ology.

If you want a private berating send me a pm.


Why berate someone privately when we are all anon. users anyhow.

I like a good public spat personally.

"Always work on abusing someone else before you try to improve yourself"

my twisted grandmother used to say from her prison cell .

Thats one of the funniest, and yet most useful pieces of information I have ever learned from the internet. Thanks.

Thanks for the generous offer.

When I start to feel too good about myself, i will be in contact.

Biif, it's fair to say that our sense of humour will never be on the same plane.

But you're happy to spend your time defending the club against the great unwashed on Big Footy. I don't get it.

I'm a fan - you and I see footy through the same eyes and I enjoy your turn of phrase. But hanging out on the Polls Board debating the merits of Mitch Clark and Tyrone Vickery?? Obviously I read that stuff from time to time, but get involved in posting? eff me.

Big Footy is definitely TNA. Home of the battler, idiot and the washed up. (and Supermercado).

Bags being some TNA figure with his dignity still remaining. Unfortunately not sure there is one.

But you're happy to spend your time defending the club against the great unwashed on Big Footy. I don't get it.

I rarely post on any forum there, but if I do it would invariably be the DT forum. However, I don't mind the combative nature of arguing with opposition fans occasionally. But most weeks would go by without me making a contribution. I can only assume you read there more than me if you notice all of my offerings. I was more active there years ago.

Thanks for your interest.


Please note ...I come in peace....go Dees

No there's an ignore button here.

Mind you after a few have read his posts they will be clamouring for it.

 

There's also a ban button if there are too many problems. Just saying... ;-)

Yes..... Brownie points awarded for good behaviour, sorry no steak knives, Ben Hur's already won them.

...still an IOU Ben....!

Nasher, I think your inbox is full ...

At least he used irw, and not something else.

Maybe 'Land is like alcos anonymous, and will provide a fresh outlook on things? :)

  • PREVIEW: Richmond

    A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.

  • NON-MFC: Round 07

    Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Fremantle

    For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

  • CASEY: UWS Giants

    The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

  • PREGAME: Richmond

    The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?
