ManDee

Luxury! I had dinner with George Harrison, Damon Hill, Barry Sheen and Murray Walker. What a great night, George, what a gentleman, Damon was surprisingly classy, Murray can talk and I refuse to speak ill of the dead. The only shame was that they were sitting at the next table and we hardly spoke.

Urban myth. Hogan has never kicked 50 goals on an AFL season.

The angst about speculated picks amuses me. I suggest that no one on this forum knows who Melbourne will pick. I doubt that anyone in the media knows. It is possible that we have not even made a final decision yet. As a club we don't leak anymore and if news comes out it is intended. So why the angst?

girl /ɡəːl/ noun 1. a female child. woman/ˈwʊmən/ noun an adult human female. A girl is a female child. My point was that you referred to women as girls.

Too racy for me, how about baguettes and coffee at half ten? Edit: Sorry Hayden Young fans I digress.

Just checked the etymology, it is baseball slang! Now I know why I dislike it. That's it for me i'm getting off of this site, my dolorous state has me upchucking.

I was actually interested when it became a word as it was never in my lexicon. Personally I find the dumbing down of the language fraught. And for goodness sake Skuit there are two e's in ManDee and I also think that Young IS a (censored) bloody good kick.

Phenom, when did that become a word? I despair at times or should I say I desp?

So now you are using an archaic monarchy to defend your sexism. Okay

By using girls it appears that you are trying to diminish the feelings of women. Actresses is archaic, they are all actors. I understand why some people think it is 1964 but it is time to move on, we live in the now and it is almost 2020 (no not your vision)

Would that be the 50 that Jesse never kicked?

I often find one vant is too many, why would anyone want an extra one.

It answer questions that you didn't know needed answering, like. If an eggplant really grew eggs chickens would be out of a job!

What about a bad player? Can they make a difference?

One out of two.

When I was studying marketing (a long time ago) they said that "We know that about half of all advertising works, but nobody knows which half"

Oh really!

Central Coast Mariners

Get it right, Esadun.

You want a 3rd tall to kick 50! Hogan never kicked 50. Only TMac in recent times has kicked 50 and we still have him. I think with less injuries next season our forward line will be much better. But dreaming of a 3rd tall to kick 50 is a dream.

How much did they want the data and to what end? My gut feeling is the outcome was considered fair to all parties, best move on rather than have real evidence of what happened with unknown future ramifications. The irony is that Essendon cannot claim deniability if some future heath horror arises as they have "lost" the evidence that they may depend on. I would bet my last dollar that accurate records of the entire drug program are safely stored away most likely by (rhymes with tank) as a leverage tool. If he should pass away I imagine a few copies may emerge.

There are no guarantees on any player, we live in hope.

So what is it that I do at the end of daylight savings?

Funny that we see footballers on TV and they look massive but when I have met them in person I am struck by how finely they are built. On TV Steven Tingay looked like a brick s4ithouse but when I met him he was in my opinion average height and lightly built. Max Gawn tall but a string bean, Scully - midget, Mark Jackson average body size but taller than me. Tapscott average height average size body. I have always thought that I could have run though any of them if I could catch them (no chance) So we probably need to compare footballers with footballers not with the average Australian, so you are right on Tapscott as a big bodied medium footballer built like a brick [censored] house, I still reckon I could take him. hahaha

I think the footy department may see some upside in Petty - Smith as KPF or even swing May forward.
