  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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?
  4. I hope there is no crowd noise
  5. 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
  6. 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.
  7. 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?
  8. There is always one. This is why we can’t have nice things
  9. 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
  10. 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.
  11. 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
  12. 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.
  13. 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.
  14. You seem rattled. You punctuation is all over the shop. Are you ok? A bit of a fever? Runny nose?
  15. Are you upset WYL has stolen your crown as forum nuffie? You don’t have to argue with everyone every time to keep it. It’s only yours to lose.
  16. If it gets to that point I reckon membership refunds will be the least of our problems
  17. When the panic buying from the corona virus clears the shops of toilet paper we will finally find a good use for the Hun.
  18. I think we should be good for the next 5
  19. Have fun with that afl. I deal with coles on a daily basis,and they crawl up our bum daily on the most random things. Woolies was good. Coles nothing but pain. I look forward to the meeting where coles tells Gil they won’t pay the last 3 months coz the logo was one shade of red from what they wanted
  20. I think he is tracking nicely. His stats put him right up there and are getting better each year, he creates things out of nothing, scares the crap out of defenders... He is a very good player that has (possibly his own fault) been over hyped to be the next Jesus
  21. Harmes... Now imagine him with whiter teeth. He would be able to get 400 possessions and kick 20 goals a game as the opp lies on the ground crying My eyes! My eyes! It burns!' Just a thought..
  22. They are paying Grundy for 7 so they can keep him for the 5 when he is top of his game. Yes, a risk, but one worth taking IMO. That said it will be interesting if it causes apples to shake from the tree
