The value of pick No.2


junk

Recommended Posts

Just read Enyaw’s post that has been the subject of considerable comment.

There has been a classical misreading here and En.. , I’m certain, is the victim of churlish misunderstanding – after all ,a prophet is never recognised in his own land.

The following quote from “American Deconstruction” amply supports Enyaw’s position , “...critics flirted with a number of alien presences in their attempts to throw off the long cherished formalism of the New Critics.” Clearly Enyaw has has looked ahead and realised that the “the scientific ‘myth criticism’ of Northrop Frye, the Hegelian Marxism of Lukacs, the phenomenology of Poulet and the rigours of French structuralism [has] each had its day.”

And if that is not enough, “De Man believes that this insight -in-blindness is facilitated by an unconscious slide from one kind of unity to another”.

Good show Enyaw.

Pearls on swine old china.

I'm sure Enyaw ,a man of such efficacy,will now adjust his theory accordingly.

Well picked up Biffen. Obviously you have a propensity for the more formal of the reader oriented approaches but clearly you are also strongly influenced by the poetic and metalinguistic. ( although no doubt there are other factors at play)

Thanks for clearing all that up BBO.... I think I need another drink!

I love how it goes on and on then.

"consider this Fitzy on a wing"

Like it's some miraculous move that will save us.

Proud to be Gu.less

I don't really understand the angst about the suggestion of placing Fitzy on a wing. I was once at a pre game MFC briefing held by Chris Connolly and he asked where people thought Fitzy might play. I offered "rover". He looked incredulous but why limit your imagination just because a player's over 200cm?

The above conversation did not take place in premises called "the vault" although if I recall correctly, some other members of the audience distinctly looked like Zulus.

The other connection with ENYAW's OP is that Connolly's response was also incoherent.

With so many knockers out there I am beginning to understand why the Dees suffer from a losing mentality,perhaps the brain of some authors havn't developed,logic might be a gift to some.

Fancy selecting a round one team with players that have left the club or are contracted at other clubs.

This sounds too much like Matt Burgan's b.llshit interviews and reports.You only have to look at HOGAN's face in a recent interview.

I am sure other clubs don't go down the bullish.t track.

My is Enyaw,I am proud to be of aboriginal origin and some of you already know this.You racists out have the cheek to call me Wayne who do you think you are?

The Bulldogs aren't concerned with picking up an experience midfield player,plenty of good youngsters. Why does it seem to be a big deal? Not many teams are interested in acquiring our non achievers.

I did say in the past we had a problem with the MCC and administrator......footy dept. ( GOING GOING GONE), WATTS to play RUCK/ROVER...midfield ......becomes a reality.Colin Sylvia an under achiever/ trouble maker......GONE there is a god.

We should play like the SWANS......Paul Roos isa the the coach....GUESS WHAT?........Few authors have called me silly...Others say spot on.

How come the guys who played in the reserves all did a fantastic job regardless of a smashing got de-listed,who ever writes the crap should be.......... Tell it as it is .......If we are shi.t then say so.

The 5 things I learnt this year NOTHING,NOUGHT,ZERO,ZILTCH and sweet F..K all. sorry not to sugar coat it.

Why do few authors state a topic is silly yet are not willing to make a descent contribution to the topic.........something to do with being Gu.less

Consider this Fitzy on the wing.Dees pick up Sheeds.Dees to win 8-10 games in 2014.

Everyone out there has a good day.

After reading this post i kept thinking back to the movie "Billy Madison"

Principal: Mr. Madison, what you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

Billy Madison: Okay, a simple "wrong" would've done just fine.

That last paragraph is quite difficult to read. Racism.. I don't think so. You come on here posting absolute crap, criticise other posters in it, and than get upset when your post is laughed out. Don't rush back Enyaw, or Wayne.. Noone will miss you.

It took awhile but I sussed it out.

Hold a mirror to your computer screen, behold the christian name WAYNE displays, as for the rest of the post, revert to the Beatles revolution No9, when played backwards all sorts of meanings are brought to light. In this case it wasnt at all helpful. The Enigma machine may be next in line for a workout.

I should have it all worked out by the end before the season begins. kcaJ kcirtapztiF's position should be clear to all by then.

    THE BLOW by Whispering Jack

    Narrm’s finals prospects took a crushing blow after the team’s insipid performance at Optus Stadium against a confident Waaljit Marawar in the first of its Doug Nicholls Round outings for 2024.  I use the description “crushing blow” advisedly because, although the season is not yet at it’s halfway mark, the Demons have now failed abysmally in two of their games against teams currently occupying bottom eight places on the ladder.  The manner in which these losing games were played out w

    HALF FULL by KC from Casey

    It was a case of the Casey Demons going into a game with a glass half full in their match up against the Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields on Saturday. As the list of injured and unavailable AFL and VFL listed players continues to grow and with Melbourne taking all three emergencies to Perth for the weekend on a “just in case” basis, its little brother was always destined to struggle. Casey was left with only eight AFL listed players from who to select their team but only two - an out-of-form

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had
