Some stereotypes are tedious, I think it shows a lack of intellectual vigour. I am surprised that you think a poster that goes by the name Balls Grinter needs your help, perhaps she is your little sister or you have two names on here and you are Balls. You know that is not allowed don't you? How could you know "that 'Balls' refuses to engage in a battle of wits with an unarmed person, " if it were not you? Anyway Balls you know what they say about people from Adelaide.

What a difference a day makes!

I remember. I'm here all week. I'll let myself out.

Balls you seem to have a bit of a chip on your shoulder, get over it. Perhaps the stereotype that if you went to a public school therefore you are, tough, stupid and from a lower class family fits? But I don't buy that, time to give up the private school stereotypes and I won't call you a Range Rover driver from Mt Buller.

Despite thinking the Bulldogs have sold their soul, I would still support our Demons if they wore pink , puce, magenta or mauve as long as it did not clash with the umpires.

LDVC, putting on a superhero jumper does not change the players behavior, it trivialises their unique skills and our unique game.

slutten

Perhaps, but how did they get there?

When I was a kid AFL players appeared to be superheroes by their acts and deeds not because of some stupid comic.

If you have the ball all the time who do you tackle?

One of these at the end (?) would have helped me to not having to read it 5 times. Edit: Having written that noticed what a convoluted sentence it was. 2nd Edit: Stop now while I am behind.

Ernie, did you see the photo? He was running on a soccer pitch covered in snow. Soccer players complain about Docklands being a cow paddock. I would think it safer than running on a beach.

The beauty of football is the football. We do not need fireworks or half time entertainment. We need more football. The best sporting event I have been to was watching the under 19's the reserves and the 1st's play footy, what a day! No fireworks, no imported Americanisation, no meatloaf other than my mums sandwiches and don't forget the McLelland Trophy.

Trouble with that is that they would have to find it before they could measure it.

The players are already carrying electronic devices, give them earpieces.

Can you imagine a pilot turning up to work in tracky dacks and thongs? AFL players play in teams, when they go to work they should be part of the team and look like it. When not in work mode they can wear fluffy slippers and a tutu as far as I am concerned.

I reckon Hogan is gone! Looks unhappy, mind you having to wear that jumper and if he's lucky sing that crap song....eeek!

Beeb, if you have been doing drugs and they want to test you, you would become quite anxious I imagine. I would think it is a ruse in most cases. It is a shame that those with real mental health(MH) issues may be tarred with the druggies using MH as an excuse. I would be happy for players evading testing citing MH issues to step out of football for a long time. (12 weeks?) If it really is a MH issue a break would probably do them good. If they have previous non drug test MH issues then a 4 week break.

Jeff White - Darren Bennett - Byron Pickett - Peter Moore etc

In a game or for the season? Preuss is our top goal scorer this year 2. I would happily have a wager that Preuss will kick more than 9 goals for the season.

Doesn't everyone have a daggy uncle?

At tennis playing doubles my son and I use codes 44b 127a 13c etc etc- confuses the hell out of the opposition. Code breaker odd number hard down the T - even number swing wide. That's it! I can imagine sides having massive convoluted signs that basically mean nothing. Or really simple like Eiffel tower - Max in the ruck. Prussian blue block Preuss in the ruck, simples!

I can hear the jungle drums....DON'T STAND IN FRONT OF PREUSS!!! Can you imagine dropping into the gap in front of Preuss on the lead. FMD let him have it.

Wall was a Melbourne supporter as a kid.
