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.

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
