I don't understand Nixon claiming GBH drugging as the reason for his lack of memory Surely as an ex-footballer he could have claimed loss of memory due to concussion Worked well for many a tribunal

Bad Dick, Bad, Bad Dick.

you break me up Artie (or is it E25?)

yeah,yeah and the grass is greener on the other side and a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush (except for greenies) and a stitch in time saves nine. Don't be so gullible Artie ("I heard at least 2 afl people repeat this" - gee whiz must be correct) I have also heard many people comment how a particular player is a totally different person off the field, quite often. Your comments are pure poppycock, but if you are happy believing that then go ahead and delude yourself.

Also a HOA in a business environment can also serve as a pre-requisite to discussing confidential issues of a companies business that otherwise they would not be prepared to divulge This would not be applicable in this situation The only reason I could see in a situation like this would be to go through all the T's & C's of a contract from both parties requirements (which could take some time) so that at the end of the season it didn't drag on for months (if the intention was to proceed) Anyway, I agree with W&H above that its all BS with respect to Sculls and its enforcability (if exists)

good one - tickled my fancy (so to speak)

LMAO, you've been watching "The Mentalist" too much Artie You certainly know how to spin anything. You don't work for the Labor party do you?

yep, poorly

just what we needed - another scully thread. what was wrong with the current one?

A couple of surgeons get together for a drink many years after they graduated During reminiscing over their careers one surgeon remarks "I've done thousands of operations and the easiest ones are on Collingwood supporters". The other says "Oh, why is that" He replies "Well when you cut them open they only have two moving parts, their cake-hole and their arse-hole" "And their both interchangeable" boom, boom

My whole answer does not live or die on the risking franchises being in 2nd division. that was just one of a few reasons I gave. I don't know why I am bothering to reply if you can't even read my reply in its entirety I put 'franchises' in quotes for a good reason. The 'franchises' I was referring to (as you well know) were the teams the AFL bankrolls in the Northern states of NSW and QLD. The AFL has 100's of millions invested in them and from their POV the growing of the code in these states is a higher priority than making the competition 'fairer' No, my main objection is that Scwabby's 'scheme' would impoverish some clubs quicker than the current scheme P.S. I didn't mention the salary cap and draft. I talked of sponsorship and membership drop-off. I really wish you'd read my post.

I don't think he is out of contract next year Pendlebury has 'signalled' that he would be prepared to entertain offers

I think Schwab's proposal is well presented and has some obvious benefits The downside for me was that I think it will widen the gap between the rich/poor club through sponsorship and membership slippage. New supporters to the game will gravitate even more to the Div 1 teams Over time the bottom 4 clubs (except AFL 'franchises') will disappear The AFL would not risk its 'franchises' being in a second division The fixturing aspect of Schwab's proposal is equally fair and thats why I'd retain it under the 'conference' scheme, but its the defined inequality of the two divisions and the consequent effects on survivability/viability that I don't like

To restore fairness in fixturing I think I'd prefer the US conference system but with a twist..... 2 non-fixed conferences 25 games, same conf play twice, other conf play once etc The twist is the conferences are decided each year based on ladder position (end of H&A) e.g. Conf A. pos 1,3,5,7,9,11,13,15,17 Conf B. pos 2,4,6,8,10,12,14,16,18

there is nothing cringe worthy being a demon fan (devout or not) what IS cringe worthy is looking for excuses why we wouldn't get him if we want to be a top club we should try and find a way apart from being a star etc he would be the right age for a flag tilt

Any stats for %time I50 by team? Be good to compare this to plain I50 count Also interesting to know %time I-FWD-Half

MFC should go after Pendlebury big time next year Seriously

bit like a salt and pepper eh?

i seem to remember teddy hopkins kicked a bag in a half in a gf didn't turn him into a star goalkicker

what a load of rubbish its an "interchange" bench. The whole 22 will spend time there there were only 2 ruckmen selected in the 22 he is an AA ruckman, no doubt

spot on

gee, thats really sad and i was so looking forward to watching him get towelled up on monday
