Elusive Tunbridge

This counts as a post?

Col was definitely part of what was wrong with the club, and his departure was a necessary step towards improvement.

Would be nice to get Fyfe, but it's a two-bong pipe dream.

Grammar nazi, feminazi, econazi - they bring out my Godwinazi.

I think it was "I'll see your leg and raise you a back and a long road trip. Now fold, sucker!"

Hanke is obviously working for Team Hird to put pressure on Little - unimaginable that he'd have put this out without Hird's approval. Means if Hird returns, coach and president will have the knives out for each other. If Hird returns.

I don't get this line at all, but "cancer" as a metaphor has been around for a very long time. You'd have to be desperate to occupy the moral high ground if you object to it now.

I don't think Dmitri's parents would like that. On further thought, Christian's family wouldn't be too keen, either.

A language in which it's possible to "progress positivity" is just waiting to be flushed away.

I'd hate to have to sell a used car to PJ.

The monkey flinging dung down from the treetops feels no sense of community with his targets, but his existence is meaningless without them. And he gets upset when they start flinging things back.

If clutter's a problem, why have numbers at all? So long as the issue of players sharing a surname is sorted, I don't see that numbers add anything. I try to learn to recognise the new Demons as quickly as I can each season anyway, and I don't buy a Record. The people I go with do, so I'm always asking them "Who's 29 for Norf?" - but names would remove even that diversion.

Can't say I've ever seen the term "PC" used outside the context of a whinge.

I'm with beelzebub on this. You can hold back until you see the direction (Watts, Frawley) or you can get in and set the direction (Grimes, Jones, Garland).

From this morning's Age: "Police request AFL put player names on nightclub attire."

Drawing a very long bow, but I like the way you think.

Had to update my faves.

Footy Record sales are probably still a big consideration, but the TV audience is likely a bigger one.

I'm OK with the MFC players after a couple of rounds - a few new faces, new tatts, new hairdos, what the hell - but I'm never going to memorise the opposition, so I'm for it.

I was thinking Garland -> Frawley, Georgiou -> Garland

I wonder if Georgiou was recruited with this possibility in mind?

My gut feeling is that he'll stay - but gut feelings and reality don't share a postcode.

The left arm looks a little under-illustrated.

There's a definite NDH quality to that LG. I'm hoping that means that, even when we lose, there'll be no more games when we lose by completely dropping our bundles for a quarter.

Unless you have similar objections to AOTY for Jock Sturrock, Dawn Fraser, Jack Brabham, Lionel Rose, Evonne Goolagong, Shane Gould, Robert de Castella, Kay Cottee, Mark Taylor, Steve Waugh, Cathy Freeman and Pat Rafter, I'd suggest you're just concern trolling. Because it's never about race.
