What about assistant coaches?

anyone for Richo, to help out the forwards. once seen giving tips during a Darwin electrical storm.

You'd rather I lied to you? We're a basket case. I love my team, but over the last decade it has been the love a parent has for a retarded child. 'Yay! You kicked the ball and didn't fall over! Give me a hug!'

Just like the 70's and early 80's we have about 4 players that can be relied upon, 6 that might have a good day if things ran their way, and the rest were generally lost.

We draft kids with super skills and watch them miss targets 30 meters away. We get coaches that were part of successful teams who look bewildered at what we do on game day.

Why not save a mil a year and give it to a piece of broken brick? Or the crack pipe trembling Ethan dreams about. It won't matter. We died inside a couple of years ago, and regime change after regime change hasn't made a difference.

nope, i know what this club has been through and displayed. As do most.

We continue to follow as we couldn't follow another team, and we hope things are now turning around.

Why not go support Richmond, you stain.

I might lack class, tact and all the other social niceties the Twenty first C demands, but I'm not sinking that low.

What would be the point in replying with substance?

I doubt you're in the frame of mind for an actual intelligent debate.

Some of what you say, disregarding the inflammatory language, is correct.

But far from all of it.

And you know it.

Heh. And again the answer to the question nobody asked has to join in. You do realise that you are allowed to let the occasional thread go by without putting in your acidic and superficial remarks in to it, don't you?

[Uncle Fester 2,843]

....and since when does using a pathetic analogy of a 'retarded' child to support an argument constitute an intelligent debate?

Geez I'm sorry. I forget that we are not in the 70's anymore - even if we still play the same. I'll start calling 70% of our list 'special needs players' from now on. Will that make your widdle feelings less hurt?

This from a poster who has the gall to accuse another poster of struggling to post 'a reply of substance'. Comedy gold.

In any case what that's saying about arguing with fools? I think i'll follow this advice. The ignore function on DL really is one of its better features

What a BS thread you lot have turned it into.

I'm not sure if this thread was meant to be serious, I can only assume it was, but what it's evolved to isn't very good. I'm closing.
