These are definitions of Internet defamation that one can be sued for. Hmmm. If Hird or Clarke wanted to sue someone they would have thousands of poster to choose from dozens of forums.

An imputation which may tend to cause a person to be hated or despised, or cause them to be treated with contempt by their peers;

The publication of material that renders a person to ridicule, even if involving humour. The publication of a photograph that contained an optical illusion giving the appearance that someone was guilty of indecent exposure is defamatory;

    Ouch! They certainly breed them tough out in Hopping Dicks Creek. Well done sir.

    Tough, or just a bit crazy? I'm not sure. One of the neighbours likes to make his raincoats out of hessian sacks, tying them with barbed wire. I've got standards to aspire to.

    Sounds like the main character out of Flannery O'Connor's novel Wise Blood. Your neighbour's name wouldn't be Hazel Motes would it?

    Is Ryan Griffen playing? How's he doing?

    I'm watching, but I haven't noticed him... I think I heard them say he wasn't playing? They were reeling of a long list of names of the top GWS players who aren't playing - great because it shows just where the Bummers are at now... and that is is absolutely nowhere considering they have a few of their "better" players back in (I think just 6 top up players this week).

    Quite possibly the most boring game of all time.

    I find GWS horribly boring to watch. Put them with half an Essendon side and it leaves me wanting to watch the NRL instead.

    We are not much better to watch.

    Geez, they'll be good when they get Scully back.

    Scully is rubbish, we sure dodged a bullet there.

    He just isn't a footballer. He is a one paced athlete.

    ... with $6m in his back pocket.

    Only a bit over 3 mil after taxes

    He may struggle to make ends meet

    With absolutely nothing to play for and some games not even screened, the NAB Challenge is descending into nothing more meaningful than a series of scratch matches. In order to bring back some interest into it all, I've had a go at putting together the ladder to this stage of proceedings which shows that a win to the Dees tomorrow should see them move into the eight.

    Now, we've got something to play for :wub:

    GWS Giants 2 0 191 110 173.64 8

    Leaving aside Essendon...that could easily be the 2015 end of H & A season ladder, in reverse! ;)

    And we would still make the 8! :o

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?
