don't think papists would be welcome at a congregationalist church, bbo (based on my reading of james michener)

who said the form or questioner used exactly and only the word "supplement". seems you are making a big assumption there

why are bananas never lonely? because they hang around in bunches

uncle bitters has a reputation for conjuring up spirits, usually his neighbour's when they are absent

relevance?

given the majority of the 34 are not at essendon it would make more sense for the counselling (if any) to be provided by the aflpa

you make a compelling argument, bitters. hard to argue against that

the gift that just keeps on giving...................priceless

when you run out of strawmen bring up the tu quoque arguments. the next one will be to invoke godwin's law.

yeah, they were only half pregnant.....lol

as opposed to a "damaged" individual

not exact, but it was reported suspended till november, but can rejoin training in september

it's not worth arguing it c&b at the agm the question was asked about milkshake and the answer was "at worst case we expect it would only be a few games" (paraphrasing) end of discussion. we miscalculated and got burnt.

i'd be more than surprised, i'd be gobsmacked. no chance at all

no no no not sure

fmd. do us all a favour and read prodee's post again. is english a second language for you?

thanks. i try.

yep

bs. they thought worst-case would be a handful of games which would be tolerable, because they drank the koolaid being passed around by the usual suspects

seems all those posters who said that the afl must have given sureties, support, guarantees or other forms of insurance, compensation to clubs who might trade for essendon players, got it completely wrong. it was all caveat emptor and we jumped in

total no-no

they should get it of course, regardless of whether they may claim to be "embarrassed" or "don't want it" fact is they deserved it. watson was found guilty of using peds that year regardless of whether he intended to or not he still got the unfair advantage should be a lay-down misere. i can't understand the delay

i believe he is well endowed, bitters.......................................with money

don't misrepresent me nasher. i always thought he was guilty and i always thought there was a good chance (not guaranteed) that cas would find so. Given that i also thought the price paid (pick number plus salary quoted) and the risk of suspension hanging over him (plus my doubts on his playing ability) made the decision too risky, given our change in list management and our need to make each post a winner in trade/draft period. As it has turned out i think today's decision by cas has only reinforced my initial thoughts during trade/draft period it's just my opinion and i don't take any gratification over the way it has turned out. as to what may happen in the future i'm not that interested at the moment in speculative guesswork and self rationalisation
