    Yes they were good, I've seen them and was surprised to see how good Rowan Atkinson was. There is another show called The Fall with Gillian Anderson (X Files) and that's up to season 3, also very good. I downloaded it but I think it's on Netflix now.

    Couple of shows not mentioned on here are, Berlin Station, one series so far, excellent, not sure where you can get this may have to download Line of Duty, 5 series so far, 4 on Netflix Both British and both very good. Ozark, Jason Bateman and Laura Linney, on Netflix was also very good, very different and had to keep watching, hard to watch just one episode. Also Spooks, very good series 10 in all, you may have to download this. There is a movie on Netflix with Kit Harrington, based on the series, called surprisingly Spooks, MI5 Gunpowder, staring Kit Harrington, based on Guy Fawkes and the attempt to blow up Parliament, Harrington's distant relative Catsby was instrumental in the plot. Its a bit self indulgent but very good and very graphic. Three part series.
  3. Careful Old, that post was almost positive.
  4. I didn't fight with anyone you idiot, you assume that I'm of Italian decent when in fact I'm not, my grandfather came to Australia from Ireland. I find your posts to be, in the main, vile diatribes against anyone that questions you. Im amazed that you are still allowed to post on here. BTW you and your posts are now on ignore, you disgust me.
  5. I believe that you're an apologist for the Nazi War Machine.
  6. I understand what you say about early draft picks and the possibility of having a gap of quality young players coming through, but realistically you can get some good players later in the draft. We learnt a lesson when we tanked that you may get the number one pick, but not necessarily the best player, $cully/Trengove, Martin. Hawthorn haven't had an early pick for a long while now but are rebuilding their side with older players and some later picks. Carlton have got some talented young players as have Brisbane but they are last and second last. We've got the basis of a good side and plenty of talented kids, now we have to top up with some specific players to fill specific gaps we have, if Lever is it then the club will know how much to pay for him. I'm not suggesting paying old rope for silk, but we may have a player or two who suits their needs and a first round draft pick and/or a second for next year, instead of a player.
  7. Not sure why there are so many in this thread suggesting we trade ANB, I'd say he would be one of the first picked every week. The coach seems to have a really high regard for him and seems to think he does his job effectively most weeks, but here on Land, he's the first one to go. I'd be happy to get Lever but we have to balance it up with what we are prepared to pay and let's not rob Peter to pay Paul.

    Probably Nathan and JV.
  9. They are sensational figures for us and the fact they include Alice make them even better, we would have been in front of Carlton if we'd played that game at the G.

    He always looks composed and even if he cops a hit he just shrugs it off and gets on with it, it will be interesting to see how he copes with a tag, which will come soon, I would imagine. I was all for Parish and I'm happy to say I got it wrong.
  11. They need someone to replace Vickery and Paddy may just be the dud to do the job.
  12. Everyone seems to think that Darcy Moore will be a star, so I've got a comparison between he and Weed when they were the same age, there's not a lot in it at this stage. Player Statistics Comparison Sam Weideman Name Darcy Moore Melbourne Demons Team Collingwood Magpies Forward Position Forward 7 Career Games 32 Eastern Ranges Origin Oakleigh Chargers June 26, 1997 Date of Birth January 25, 1996 Turned 19 in 2016 Age Turned 19 in 2015 195cm Height 201cm 94kg Weight 98kg 2015 National Draft Last Drafted In 2014 National Draft Round 1, Pick #9 Last Draft Position Round 1, Pick #9 Melbourne Demons Last Drafted By Collingwood Magpies 2016 Stats for Season 2015 3 Games 9 2.7 Kicks Per Game 5.4 5.7 Handballs Per Game 3.6 8.3 Disposals Per Game 9.0 3.0 Marks Per Game 3.2 1.0 Goals Per Game 1.0 0 Behinds Per Game 0.3 0 Tackles Per Game 1.8 0 Hitouts Per Game 2.6 0 Inside 50s Per Game 1.4 0 Goal Assists Per Game 0.2 0.3 Frees For Per Game 1.1 0.3 Frees Against Per Game 0.7 4.0 Contested Possessions Per Game 5.0 4.3 Uncontested Possessions Per Game 4.2 6.7 Effective Disposals Per Game 6.3 80.7% Disposal Efficiency % Per Game 70% 0.7 Clangers Per Game 1.4 0.7 Contested Marks Per Game 1.0 1.0 Marks Inside 50 Per Game 1.2 0 Clearances Per Game 0.6 0 Rebound 50s Per Game 0.1 0.3 One Percenters Per Game 1.8 0 Bounces Per Game 0.1 78.7 Time On Ground % Per Game 80.2 33.7 AFL Fantasy Score Per Game 48.2 40.3 Supercoach Score Per Game 53.9

    On 3AW today, one of the footy panel said something along the lines of, this kid Oliver is going to be a star and he's only 22. They really do their homework, don't they.
  14. How could the Essendon football department be adamant no prohibited substances were given to players, when there are no records and they can't say what they were given. "Thompson never understood why Essendon self-reported on that fateful February day in 2013 because the key figures in the football department were adamant no prohibited substances were given to their players."
  15. Brayshaw wasn't a number one draft pick, he doesn't have Diabetes and he appears over the concussion issue, but apart from that, do difference.
  16. McCartin dropped this week due to poor form, I'd be a little concerned if I was a Saints supporter. Poor form, medical condition and concussion issues, doesn't paint a positive picture. Bit like a reverse Wines/Toumpas.
  17. Petracca seems to get better with every game he plays and I'd expect him to dominate games in a couple of years. Where can he play, anywhere, he will be a midfielder eventually and when he matures a bit more he will be able to play back or forward as well. He has the skill, strength and self belief to become an A grade player in a short period of time.
  18. I only saw the highlights package of McCartin prior to the draft and he looked like one of those players that would always have trouble with his weight and this seems to be the case, this and the Diabetes should have been a warning, a number one draft pick is too valuable to take a chance with. Petracca will just get better and better and he will be our game breaker, he's got an ego but most top players have, it's a self belief that I'd hope all our young kids have got.

    I said Coach.

    Prior to Goodwin, the last Ginger coach we had was Norm Smith.
  21. Bit like Pauline Hanson, who would have thought that she had a chance of holding the balance of power in any Parliament, well the way things are going she could controls several.
  22. If you follow this thread and can't understand what I've said, then I can't help you. I have tried to make it simple for you but it still seems to be too hard for you to understand. Maybe if you put the hat on it might help you to think.
  23. There is plenty of historical footage of the Fuehrer in front of the adoring masses, no one needs to see any Hollywood films to understand what happened, unless you are in denial, you would know as well. I don't have a problem with the German people but don't pretend that the past never happened.
  24. Forgot about Angela, if she was in charge the Ottoman Empire would still rule Europe and any attempt to kick them out would have been met with a protest by the [censored] left wing Germans.
  25. Weren't all Germans conscripted, none of them were volunteers, were they, just doing what they were told and following orders. Good to see you are still able to stand by the Reich, if Adolph had only paid more attention to petrol and less to gas.
