  1. Hey Tarax, can you help me with the Latin translation please. sursum corda I think I get - “light up your hearts” but alter erara I don’t get - “ the other was wrong”?
  2. Don’t know Campbell from a bar of soap, but is he any better than Fullarton? But I still don’t understand why we are looking for a back up ruck, when what we need is a forward pocket ruckman who can play 23 games so that Roo doesn’t have to ruck. Surely!

    Red, I think you’ll find it is actually more stages than 3. Once the feasibility stage is approved, I’d suggest that final design / for-construction plans would then proceed - you don’t expend the cost of detailed design/construction details without the feasibility stage being signed off. Then the Tender is undertaken, reviewed and the Contract awarded. Finally construction commences.
  4. Not sure when the B&F is, but surely you’d think Tracc might think it important to spend that night with his teammates - to get some brownie points at least. Surely he could head OS after that night.
  5. Well i have a very different view of our members. Why don't you set up a Demonland Poll to test your theory?
  6. as i believe it very much should be. Why would we want Whateley or any other media person publicly interviewing candidates for our club? Its none of their [censored] business.
  7. I was struggling to find a reason, like most on here, why Gutnick would approach Green, and why Green might meet with him, Elwood. I mean, as far as i know, Gutnick hasn’t approached any other president to give advice to. So why Green? I simply asked the question to see if there was maybe a “faith” link. Certainly nothing sinister in my mind. I’m sorry if my question offended you.
  8. I heard his Nona gave him a recipe for Humble Pie - but Tracc doesn’t like the taste.
  9. No shiiit Sherlock.

    OMG! They are identical!
  11. If the players association involvement leads to an outcome where player safety procedure is improved then I am all for it - and I’m sure this is their aim, rather than having a pot shot at the MFC, as a number on here seem to believe.
  12. Ok then, Doesn’t someone have to “win it (the ball) at the turnover” before you can then “move the ball”?
  13. Nobody is interested because there is nothing yet to get interested in. You may still be correct though, but until a formal proposal and funding application goes before the Govt, I can guarantee you that nobody will be interested in the MFC.
  14. Doesn’t someone have to “win it (the ball) at the source” before you can then “move the ball”?
  15. Why would anyone offer us funding now if we haven’t got a formal proposal, let alone without actually appling for funding?
  16. Haha, I think the dress code would be the last concern they’d have! But it would sure be a hoot if you could pull it off - er, so to speak.
  17. Clarry has stated he won’t leave - but only because @WalkingCivilWar won’t leave and go with him.
  18. Riv for captain 2026 or 2027
  19. Are you Pert’s uncle?
  20. I think you’d better have another look at the players you did name. You cannot possibly know if they are scallywags or not. And whether you admit it or not, a number on your first list have certainly dropped their playing standards since ‘21. Hence we are not playing finals.
  21. Thanks Jaded. With Gus gone, Riv is now my fav player.
  22. You might want to hold your powder dry about “scallywags” until certain investigations are completed.
