Macca I really think you are being oversensitive on what is really a casual 'nice' statement whether really knowledgeable or not Lets agree to disagree

you won't be alone PSD

Just to clarify, I don't mean positive necessarily in a recruiting sense, just a positive statement as a standalone incidental comment I'm sure if you were described as "coming from a good family" that wouldn't be a slur on others less fortunate.

Macca I didn't say Rendell's comments were positive, I was referring to the "comes from a good family" quote Re Rendell I just said (by all accounts) he was a good man and didn't deserved to be ruined in that way without a fair chance to explain his intentions/motives And yes its interpretation and opinion, but being pilloried by prejudicial media trial doesn't fit with my sense of justice

Well if Phat Phil the Tiler can make the grade at $100K pa there is hope for anyone

Macca I know where you are coming from, but you're in danger of your cynicism turning what was intended as a positive statement into a negative By that logic we shouldn't have a best and fairest because it implies the others weren't up to it. Shades of Kirnerism

Macca, I think you might be reading too much into such remarks. There is often too much over-analysis in drafting, its more about having too many football journalists and so many column inches to fill. B) I'm sure the no1, no2 and no3 priority is football ability

truly Pity AD's backtracking is out of self-interest not fair-play

I don't know all the facts but I can't help feeling AD has destroyed the job and reputation of a good person for some misguided political gain. This is not a good example of working toward reconciliation

if that's too hard there is always the shorts or socks or the training gear

They say "More than a Game", well Jim you were "More than a Player".........much, much more I hope the MCC can name a stand after Jimmy, and I'd like to see one of the new bronze statues planned for outside the 'G' to be the "Big Fella"

A sad day. RIP Jimmy. You may have died today, but you will live for all tomorrows in the hearts and minds of millions who will treasure your legacy

why not 2 + 1 ?

Yeah whoever picked first, I'd like to have some of what he's on

or vertebrating ?

he slides but why wouldn't team 17 and 18 bid their first round pick? It's no skin off their nose, they still don't get JV, we still get JV but have to use pick#3 do you think sheeds (or any other club) would do us that sort of favour?

and they love setting excessive examples early in the season. expect butcher to be a scapegoat for 'duty of care' and spinal injury protection

Can't be 11 dee-luded because pick 2 is a compo pick therefore min mid-pick is 12 (assuming no other compo picks for bottom 10)

will this be the first time a team has played with more than half its salary cap out?

Clash of the millionaires......ouch

let me put it this way i will always have hope......but my expectations are really shot to the shizenhausen

like rpfc i had family on both sides of the fence......................a very troubling time, but surely there is little point now in rummaging through the ashes

what, you mean all the B$ ? B)

so you took a quick snapshot at some other sites on the current status means nothing. go to their sites after a loss or a player has a bad day, you are deluding yourself if you think they are substantially different if you went to demonland prior to last years season you would have heard plenty of posters talking of making the eight in 2011 and arguing over when the premiership window was opening Its all relevant to timing, not taking an instant snapshot but you will believe what you want to

just curious 1-how many legit voters were locked out 2-what percentage of these would have voted no versus yes
