Elusive Tunbridge

yes, you've played afl footy?

Let's just say I've watched more games than I've played, dc.

Clearly many professionals within the industry disagree. Are you a professional within the industry ?

I have a sneaky feeling that those sprouting the "dodgy" material, as you put it, also agree with vaccination. Next thing you'll be calling them flat earthers.

There are enough professionals that don't see depression as a mental "illness" to make me query claims that it is. It's fair to say I have a dose of scepticism, notwithstanding Hemingway's erudite response.

I guess you're keeping this going because you're embarrassed that no-one takes your source, a scientology front organisation, seriously. Calling your stance scepticism may give you a warm feeling, but it's not so impressive since the climate denialists hijacked the word.

Questioning my credentials is another weak smokescreen, like asking "How many games of AFL have you played?" But the short answer to your question is "Yes".

If they don't take that down by Monday I'll cease posting as soon as I've microwaved my membership.

So, if I don't believe everything I read, the logical conclusion is not to believe your post.

Which then leads to the conclusion that if I don't believe everything you've written, I should therefore believe everything I read.

Which then leads to the conclusion that I should believe what you've written, which...oh, bugger it.

Your logic trips over the difference between everything and anything. But you don't have to believe this.

The CCHR link is very dodgy material - akin to anti-vaccination stuff. Severe depression is a well acknowledged medical condition.

Depression may be a reason for taking poor decisions, but it's not an excuse. The black dog bites dogs, too. We boo the dog, not the bite.

You can lock the asylum gates, but you can't keep the lunatics inside.

Thank you.

Keep forgetting some are a bit sensitive here..

The older types are more sensitive to change, bet a few around here are still holding on to their VCRs cursing this new fangled DVD phenomenon ..

Warm, wet pockets all around.

Anyone have the weird problem of Pedersen being put in [brackets] automatically?

It's not a problem. It's only automatic when, as often happens, his name is misspelt with an "o" instead of the second "e". Next stop "Gartlett". Respect, blokes.

33K tomorrow, final total I'll guess at 37. 40 still too far away.

It's horrible, it's distracting, it's visual white noise. It's part of the enhanced game-day experience. Eventually this sort of garbage will drive me away from the game.

I was a bit bored with all the spouting about Brayshaw, I just hope he comes out and plays well, god help him if he doesn't, as we speak, along with Hogan, they are busy polishing their haloes as the latest saviours of this footy club

Saty, you get bored by other people's posts the way dogs get bored with bones.

Av - or maybe AvB.

Must be a bittersweet moment for him. 200 is such a great achievement, but without any of his black-and-white teammates around him - not even Dawes!

It's a good group of players, but given the number playing their first game or second season in the jumper, I'll be very agreeably surprised if they click as a team in the first half of the season.

Do we have to over analyse everything?

Too much analysis is never enough.

Should have kept it in house, where it belonged. I like good standup, but that was a Sportsman's Night.

If the Bombers only get six months, Pie fans will be enraged. AFL will be engulfed in a tidal wave of urine.

Could hardly come at a worse time for Essendon.

Article hints that the drugs are recreational, therefore no team penalty.

(OOPS! misread the article. Very bad - but still doubt that there can be a team penalty.)

Got about halfway through before the gag reflex.

Obviously you don't do it now! I refer to the end of this year! Surely that is OBVIOUS!

OBVIOUS is your middle name, picket.

I think Trengove is "Cactus" I reckon the club knew it and therefore a trade with Richmond was always going to be a win for us!

Unless a miracle occurs I cannot see him at the club next year!

I would be aghast if he was offered a new contract on the basis that he may come back.

I reckon his dwindling pace will be further compromised and in view of where we are at I don't believe we should be looking at him sticking around next year.

Time to pass! and move on!

Sounds like a good idea. And at this time, late March, how should we do that? (Rhetorical question - of course I expect you to have NFI.)

So, a previously unknown football club beat a previously well-known football club. What's your point?

I wonder if Hunter is doing this off his own bat, or is perhaps a stalking horse for other players, particularly those now at other clubs?

Reading this thread, my one thought is that nobody has a clue.
