I am totally fed up with the way the so-called Footy Press has solely concentrated on the so-called shenanigans at Melbourne. [censored], they've lost 4 finals in a row, there's the punch up between may and Melk the year or so before, there's the Smith 'unique' fiasco, and there's the Clarrie saga, and some of them even hint at 'deeper troubles'. I don't recall this much attention to Essendon when all drug hell broke loose, the various shall we say 'dubious' behaviors at the E Coli Wobbler Protected species, and oh, no, there was no twubble toil and trouble at Richmond, Dusty who?, nor have I recalled the mighty ex North Oracle, aptly called The King, mention how any turmoils were handled in his time at a turmoil ridden club, and we won't talk about Lamumba, nor have I hear or read anything about how Geelong, anothery in the line of AFL protected Species, didn't even make the friggggin finals a year after a Flag. Jesu Christe the Western Media is already enough warped in mass manipulation to allow the so-called Footy Pontius Pilates to just totally and constantly just focus on one team. As Leigh Montagna pointed out to Mister Huddo and Pontius King - funny how he wanted to dude to get ten weeks after assaulting a Norf player, where was his voice when Brayshaw was put kaput? - that this kind of 'turmoil' most often unites teams rather than fragments them.

He features in one of my longer Short Stories, called, Learning how to Cook.

But the AFL is not corrupt! Ha effing Ha

I thought P-P was stiff. A Port player turned the poor Crow dude directly into P-P's path...P-P never left the ground with the intention to thump....

It's almost a replica of the Maynard Assault.

UM, weren't we undermanned as well??????

Rudoph the red nose reindeer was also sled.

I am sticking to culinary matters, sir. I am that way inclined.

Puttanesca is uniquitous: as common as olive oil and popeye

This has nothing to do with hashhish, okay, never mind the ologies...

Why it's am Italian alla puttanesca spaghetti sauce, see...Spaghetti alla Puttanesca is a traditional Italian pasta sauce made with tomato, olives, capers, anchovies and garlic.

I prefer putanesca

saw that post my post - well, I was once a Postie...

I am really confused: the photo of the 'huddle' shows McDonald who, I thought, was named for tonight. I am also confused that there are 2 games this evening and on a hot day like today, how can players be expected to show up for 2 games? It's kind of surreal...

Gee, I get sick of the negativity from some negative repeat offenders on this site.

I worked with Sommerville when I was a junior clerk with the SEC in late 1967/68. He never wanted to discuss anything about it. ( It also shows how much the game has changed: his 'salary' at the SEC would have been less than $100 a week...reasonable money in them dark days, when 'men were men' and on-field assault was de rigueur. Sure, we've come along way, but the fact that 60 years later 'disguised assault' - if you played for certain clubs - was still kosher.

EXACTLY!

I've had arguments after argument on Facebook about this - no wonder my wife tells me I'm an [censored] for being there in the first place. Today I had a bogan WA E Coli Wobbler who repeats the total crepe that 'It was a Football act.' I replied, Yes, so Footy-like that the AFL had to change the laws of the game because of it. I likened it to how the AFL had to inevitably respond to the simple fact that on-field assaults - we won't mention Leigh Matthews by name - led to the change of the the so-called 'Laws' of the game. The AFL is a bogus crock of a word rhyming with loo in this regard. Somehow, the flotsam which inevitably rises to the top, is always their main concern, because, after all, who has the biggest membership and fills stadiums? Look at how many times two particular clubs are 'drawn' to play interstate. In other words, to claim the AFL is a 'level playing field' is like saying that the earth is flat and in heaven we have the'monotheistic' trilogy of god the father, the son and the holy ghost. Watching Brayshaw's interview on the Club site reduced me to tears. Yet, somehow because of some unwritten but official protocol, no-one was allowed to mention the Maynard assault. Then again, Maynard isn't the problem, the AFL is in that it tacitly condones 'winners' like him...

You should shoot him and plead, But no man died.

Funny not hah hah that Geelong failing to make finals after a premiership, North jumping the E Coli Wobblers is glossed over - as was E Coli Wobbler non-drug issue - but the Demons are the One Hit wonders, the drug riddle cultural problem child, stinking and deviously led, hooligan Sorrento based coach etc I can't be bothered listening to or reading any of this bullcrepes any more - over it and far away.

Lucky I'm PiBolar. One Pole in the house is enough for all of us

What about tripe? That's my main dislike. And, when I type is comes out as trype...

And what about the slithering snakes?

I was trying to be STUPID: no harm meant...When you get to my age - 173 - being stupid is one of the few consolations...

Far from it: could I ask you to elaborate, maybe give me a definition of what would be ideal? 🥰😍
