Uncle Fester

We did some retarded thing but god we looked good when we got it right

We are so much better with a firing Gus

My boys will surprise me

Or when we win you can serve up those words and eat them with a big dose of humble pie. But you won’t. Not many people here do. They ride and ride and ride. Players and coaches, and conveniently forget the good but amplify the bad. It’s as boring as it is dishonest

I’m impressed. I didn’t know north supporters knew what an internet was

Not that it should come into consideration (and [censored] it, it was a hard tackle not him pulling out a knife), they have just killed his afl career. A joke, and not even a funny one

I don’t care about his concussion issues, and if we can fix them or not - he’s a bust. A fit paddy is still a sub standard forward.

I agree bad kicking is bad football, but if they kicked straight we’d have gone down by four goals. The yips aren’t the reason the game was so close

I have. One fell on my auntie and killed her

For sure they do. They have had 5000 years of practice. But I never look for a conspiracy when it can be chalked up to ineptitude. But like hell China would bring the hermit kingdom into the fold. They aren’t friends. They are just a useful buffer. And China is well aware the NK is bat**** crazy, but as long as that crazy it aimed westward it’s bareable. If it turns east it will be squashed like a bug

No they don’t. They have a BIG military and because of 60 plus years of preparing for war they have enough artillery hidden in tunnels so they could flatten Seoul in about an hour, but that is about it other than suicide pact nukes. I doubt they could control their airspace against South Korea, and forget what would happen if one of the big 3 got involved. The exist because it suits China to have them there, and since they got nukes the US has backed off because they suspect that the leadership is bat**** crazy enough to us them if pushed. As for China and her numbers (as dodgy as all hell), I suspect they have lost control over it and have decided that it’s better to lose a couple of million people than trash the economy. It’s not like it would be the first time that the CCP has made that call.

Only if you believe anything that comes out of those places - which I don’t, and I wouldn’t exactly call North Korea 1st world.

I can’t remember him doing anything to suggest he could play the game anyway without the other issues. Also I thought St Kilda said that they’d have a spot for him if he got things worked out? Or am I thinking of someone else?

Yze for me. TJ had more talent, but Adem used his better

I hope there is no crowd noise

I’m the last guy to go into bat for Fat Ed, but he was right. Tony was throwing ‘when are you did you stop beating your wife?’. There was never going to be a right answer. And yes Ed is Ed and attacks anyone that says Collingwood’s poo doesn’t smell, but that interview was bear baiting in a time when everyone is under enormous stress. It could have been handled better by both sides but Jones was the protagonist

If they are smart (taking the devil’s advocate that this is something of substance) they wouldn’t have a draft this year. Nobody is going to see the kids play, the draft age can do with a lift, and it lets natural attrition trim the lists.

Sadly it looks like that.

Big fan, but has been badly misused. That is the clubs fault for having 3000 inside mids and nothing outside. His best is a grade, his worst doesn’t have him in the best 22 So what to do?

There is always one. This is why we can’t have nice things

That is a good point. Growing up wondering if some guy in the pentagon or the kremlin would press a button and end the world in a couple of hours, well this is small beer. Not that it isn’t something to be concerned about, but it’s just a new and different challenge that life throws up. I’ve never been to concerned about myself-to stupid maybe- but I will watch the show wondering just how the fall out from this (mostly economic and political) will change society, just as every upheaval has done

Let it go as it is. Why do we feel the urge to change something every year? The game is fine as it is (and was a lot better 20 years ago and better again 20 years before that etc). Every rule change is just another chance for a smart coach to exploit it and change the game in a way that was unexpected, and lo and behold, another rule change to combat the last one. Rinse and repeat.

It must be hard to go from a see ball get ball kid to have every moment analysed in slo mo. One of the things I love about this game is seeing shy 18 year olds turn into confident 25 year olds. The kid with pimples and a squeaky voice becoming a man and at home with cameras, stupid questions and having to front up on footy shows. I think the Koz show will be an interesting journey to watch, just for that reason

Uh huh. If that is meant to give you cred then you are talking to the wrong person. Half of my family is from there. I grew up in those slaughter house pubs. Jog on mate. And if you can’t do that then back away and remember that there is always someone that has been there and owns the T-shirt.

A friend of mine taught him in high school. I won’t say too much in case I get her in trouble, but she was telling me he was a giant [censored] from the get go. Still I’m sure most of my teachers thought that about me so I take it all with salt.
