if weideman's medical check showed no problems i'd expect it would have been publicised i wonder if the lack of news is indicative of anything? just thinking aloud

darn, you realise jack, you have just lit a big fuse under olisik which could last a decade

this is doing your head in, isn't it olisik? not many days to go then you can either go bezerk or get drunk from joy

think he might mean the physical checkup by doctor (medical)

don't disagree with this except i don't think it's right to just call him an outside mid. he certainly doesn't just hang around the fringes looking for easy candy. i saw plenty of inside mid work with exceptionally good and fast first option disposal. great awareness plus for someone to average the number of possessions he did in the shorter quarters played in u18 means he must be winning a bit of ball and knows where to find it i'm sticking with him for p3 and best available tall fwd left at p7

as religion is so topical, here are a few corny funnies (don't blame the messenger) ============================== A guy joins a monastery and takes a vow of silence: he’s allowed to say two words every seven years. After the first seven years, the elders bring him in and ask for his two words. "Cold floors," he says. They nod and send him away. Seven more years pass. They bring him back in and ask for his two words. He clears his throats and says, "Bad food." They nod and send him away. Seven more years pass. They bring him in for his two words. "I quit," he says. "That’s not surprising," the elders say. "You’ve done nothing but complain since you got here." ============================== StuieI was walking across a bridge one day, and saw a man standing on the edge, about to jump off. So he ran over and said "Stop! Don't do it!" "Why shouldn't I?" he said. "Well, there's so much to live for!" "Like what?" "Well... are you religious?" He said yes. StuieI said, "Me too! Are you Christian or Buddhist?" "Christian." "Me too! Are you Catholic or Protestant ? "Protestant." "Me too! Are you Episcopalian or Baptist?" "Baptist" "Wow! Me too! Are you Baptist Church of God or Baptist Church of the Lord?" "Baptist Church of God!" "Me too! Are you original Baptist Church of God, or are you reformed Baptist Church of God?" "Reformed Baptist Church of God!" "Me too! Are you Reformed Baptist Church of God, reformation of 1879, or Reformed Baptist Church of God, reformation of 1915?" He said, "Reformed Baptist Church of God, reformation of 1915!" Stuie said, "Die, heretic scum", and pushed him off. ============================== A Jewish grandmother is watching her grandchild playing on the beach when a huge wave comes and takes him out to sea. She pleads, "please God, save my only grandson. I beg of you, bring him back." And a big wave comes and washes the boy back onto the beach, good as new. She looks up to heaven and says: "He had a hat!" ==================================

it's darcy polish for me

or another dane swan? agree he's not polished, but he does know his footy and he's a bit of a bull, at least against u18's but, i can't see him as a top 10 and he won't be around for our 3rd pick, so i don't think he'll be in our sights

yep, we must be ever vigilant there are standards to be upheld

ta, i've seen that one........thought he was referring to something different

i think the press is just playing with us, changing their predictions all the time just create some excitement and intrigue let's face it the players haven't changed in the last 3-4 weeks just the press trying to be the news themselves don't get too sucked in

which clip....link?

more interested in the medical, esp scan results

parish the thought

funny, i heard crabs were your speciality, bbo

too hard, ht

14th includes academy players if you include academy players in draft our first pick won't be 3. will be 5 or 6

and wiedeman, curnow at 20, 22

i suspect you are right and she brings out her phantom draft a few days before the draft when she's collected all the clubs last minute leaks, so naturally gets pretty close (a la toumpas couple of years ago) i'd be more impressed if her last phantom draft was say 2 weeks before draft

uh oh! "godwins law" or "reductio ad hitlerum" take your pick

let's have a short break from all this ot stuff for your edification......... A guy enters a bar carrying an alligator. Says to the patrons, "Here’s a deal. I'll open this alligator's mouth and place my genitals inside. The gator will close his mouth for one minute, then open it, and I'll remove my unit unscathed. If it works, everyone buys me drinks." The crowd agrees. The guy drops his pants and puts his privates in the gator's mouth. Gator closes mouth. After a minute, the guy grabs a beer bottle and bangs the gator on the top of its head. The gator opens wide, and he removes his genitals unscathed. Everyone buys him drinks. Then he says: "I'll pay anyone $100 who's willing to give it a try." After a while, a hand goes up in the back of the bar. It's a woman. "I'll give it a try," she says, "but you have to promise not to hit me on the head with the beer bottle."

A guy has a talking dog. He brings it to a talent scout. "This dog can speak English," he claims to the unimpressed agent. "Okay, Sport," the guys says to the dog, "what’s on the top of a house?" "Roof!" the dog replies. "Oh, come on..." the talent agent responds. "All dogs go ‘roof’." "No, wait," the guy says. He asks the dog "what does sandpaper feel like?" "Rough!" the dog answers. The talent agent gives a condescending blank stare. He is losing his patience. "No, hang on," the guy says. "This one will amaze you. " He turns and asks the dog: "Who, in your opinion, was the greatest baseball player of all time?" "Ruth!" goes the dog. And the talent scout, having seen enough, boots them out of his office onto the street. And the dog turns to the guy and says "Maybe I shoulda said DiMaggio?"

The term "discussing on its merits" is a common enough term and you knew exactly what i meant and that is what i said was disingenuous however.....i concede that the term "merits" in the context of a discussion on terrorism was inappropriate, even though there was no intention of using that word in one of its other meanings. merit [mer-it] Spell Syllables Synonyms Examples Word Origin noun1. claim to respect and praise; excellence; worth. 2. something that deserves or justifies a reward or commendation; acommendable quality, act, etc.: The book's only merit is its sincerity. 3. merits, the inherent rights and wrongs of a matter, as a lawsuit,unobscured by procedural details, technicalities, personal feelings,etc.: The case will be decided on its merits alone. 4. Often, merits. the state or fact of deserving; desert: to treat people according to their merits. 5. Roman Catholic Church. worthiness of spiritual reward, acquired by righteous acts made under the influence of grace. 6. Obsolete. something that is deserved, whether good or bad.

that's just not completely true, stuie there have been many muslim teachers and leaders who have defended and supported islamic jihardists over last few decades including some very prominent muslim leaders just where do you think they get their billions to finance their terror?

stuie, if the terrorists say they are followers of islam, then they are. they believe they will be rewarded in heaven as martyrs for allah. they quote passages of holy text to justify their actions. they are even prepared to sacrifice their lives just for their beliefs. just because other more moderate followers of islam have a different view-point doesnt mean they can't be legitimately described as islamic-extremists or islamic-terrorists the term islamic-terrorists doesn't mean all followers of islam, but the extremists do live and worship among the moderates. i wonder if you remember the joyous dancing in the streets of the middle east when 9/11 was perpetrated. were they just extremists and not islamic?
