Deestroy All

Edit: brain fart. I got Jeff mixed up with Rory Hilton. This could be our first Rory, if so it's a fantastic milestone.

Come on fellas, lift your game, how are there no comments on 139 yet? I missed out on a grand, by putting Bowles in a multi instead of Faber, what a stupid moron. Anyway, how good was that card? Faber looked brilliant, hope he takes Cruz's belt and one of his arms. Keep an eye on Weidman, I've watched him closely because he's a Matt Sera fighter, seen all his fights, and I reckon he'll go close to being a title holder. What about the referee in that fight? Who let somebodies grandpa wander into the octagon and ref? Could've gotten Tom Lawlor killed. Then he got in the way in the Wandy / Le fight and perhaps stopped it early. Cung and Wandy was about as fun as a fight gets. Great kicks, combo's and massive heart by Cung. Nerves first, then the brutal bezerker that is Wanderlei Silva. Nothing better than watching him connect and swarm all over an opponent. So glad he won, hope there's a couple more wins in him. Hendo v Shogun was just epic. Not much needs to be said, I was surprised Shogun survived Hendo's power, even more surprised Shogun finished on top, he usually gasses. They both deserved the W, but I had Hendo, and was pretty clear that he won. Great, great fight. Hope Mayhem destroys Bisping. And I'll take Machida v Bozo Jones.

Why not? It's not a slanderous rumour. It's something good about the club if true (makes sense with the amount of cash we're throwing at coaches and elite fitness staff etc...), and the info is being relayed to us die hards without the source being divulged, take it or leave it.

All this talk about Jones and no one mentions his missed tackles? Cardinal sin and the most frustrating thing about him. Pun alert: his arms are painted on.

UFC on FUX Was ok for us on ONEhd I spose, we got the Guida v Henderson epic, everyone else around the world got half an hour of shyte talkin then a 1 minute fight. lolz. I know this isn't how the format will work in the future on FOX, but what a stupid way to kick it off, one fight, pfft. Anyway I watched all but the Swanson fight, and it was an ok card, some interesting battles. Bruce Leroy may be a bit of a [censored], but what an entertaining fighter. Great combo's on his feet, dangerous as hell on the ground. That switch kick was cool, well blocked though. Poirier is a killer, one of those fighters that'll just keep it simple and always get it done, idiots like me pick Garza instead in a multi bet, and was the only one I got wrong, so stupid. I had no idea who won the Carpenter v Smooth fight, but it was as entertaining as fights get. I picked Smooth, and now I'd like to see Frankie smash the 'praise Christ' out of him. I'm a huge fan of both Cain and JDS, thought Cain would take it, but I put money on JDS for the lucky/ well executed punching power. Great to see him win. Hope he can do what most heavyweights don't, and defend the title. Would like to see him vs Overeem. Was a decent card if you could be bothered switching from facebook to TV. I'll take Hendo and the Axe Murder this weekend.

I wondered if this was the case. I don't like it. He copped the fine and the suspension. If he's able to go full tilt and get flogged on the track and have his best pre-season ever, surely that would benefit everyone?

I knew there was a point to my sleep deprived blabbering!

Nice thread title, Scott Baio played a lawyer in Arrested Development named Bob Loblaw (say it with an American accent). That has nothing to do with anything, but it makes me laugh. Taking that amount of money would be hard to resist, people would still be angry and call him a traitor and a money grabber whatever happened. He's brought the hatred on himself with his devious ways of dealing with it, his comments before, during and after the event. There's no point trying to reason with any of us that can't stand the rat, it's footy, it's passion, it's entertainment, it's business, it's our club and we're a big messed up family. Turn your back on the family and you're gunna get whacked. Its therapeutic.

Once in a blue moon, Cyril in the GF, Butcher 6 kicks 6 goals. To be fair, they were 6 possie games... Bennell needs to average more than 10 possies a game or he's going nowhere. Gysberts. Fitness is what he needs, it's what he's getting. Neeld can influence him like he did Pendles. Morton. There's no grey area here, Neeld will make or break him. I think a defined role is what he has always needed, if he gets that he'll thrive. The Fish, Clark. Permanent forward in his own, structured forward line. Will deliver.

Can't beat Breaking Bad, the best show on TV atm, best show since Oz and the Soprano's. I also watch The Walking Dead - if you don't like zombie stuff, don't bother. I love it so I enjoy the show. I'm liking the way the characters are changing over time (not after being bitten). Boardwalk Empire is great, second season is really hitting its straps. Big fan of Dexter, though last season was terrible, terribly written and terribly pointless. Julia Styles is terrible to look at. This season has it back on track. Game of Thrones is great, slow in parts but had me hooked in the end and hanging out for S02. Watched the first episode of American Horror Story, wasn't bad. I'll keep watching it just for the maid, hot damn! Comedies. Louie, Curb', Eastbound and Down, An Idiot Abroad, Peep Show, Tosh.0. Reality. The Ultimate Fighter.

Sad day for MMA with 2 legends retiring, but time was clearly up for Mirko, and BJ doesn't train hard enough, if he did he'd have continued to smash Diaz in the 2nd. Sad that Diaz won, period, my god he's a [censored]. But credit to him for never ever being in a boring fight. Can't see him ever beating GSP, but part of me would like to see it happen. BJ is one of my heroes, will be missed. Big Country has the hardest head in mma, he took the full force of JDS and CroCop and didn't die, that takes some doing. Was disappointed in Mitrione, Kongo looked scared early and Mitrone stood there doing nothing. Highlight for me was that Polish dude in the prelims, won't even attempt to spell his surname, but his first name was Bart, he belted Griffin. Put a multi on Siva, Mitrione, CroCop and Penn, 4 losses! I suck. Cerrone looks pretty damn scary in every fight, pity cowboys are gay. The next card is probably the worst card I've ever seen, are they joking thinking people will pay for that? It's barely worthy of a Fight Night. But those cards usually end up having sick fights, here's hoping.

I like the Gysberts' fitness is exposed. The kid is hard at it, tall, has quick hands and can take a grab. I think he'll be the pick of all our midfielders in a few years. The all star fitness team just need to turn him into a machine. It has begun.

I'll pay it because it's the most brilliant thing I've ever seen. And double sunglasses!

If he plays every game, I'd want to see 50. Of course if he only kicked 10 and Jurrah and Wonaeamirri kicked 90 between them that also works. The moral of the story is I want to see a forward line [censored] in goals.

Brilliant, you really are Yoda! Missed his leadership. You've got to be kidding me, that same leadership that was nowhere to be seen when we were garbage the years before he left? The same leadership that saw him sliding in feet first baseball style rather than put his head over it? (if he went that is). Getting a heap of rubbish ball and being around for a long time doesn't make you a leader. And I've seen first hand the leadership skills he had off the field, no one listened to him. I'm glad he left, saved me another year of angst, and showed some of the blind his true colours. I thank him for 2000, and bid him farewell.

He actually did start playing some good footy at Casey, then injured his hip and that was that. I like what I've seen. He was the under 18 AA CHF, he clearly knows how to play. He needs size, time and patience from trigger happy supporters. In the Mitch Clark presser, Tim H or Mark Neeld mention that this trade allows them space to properly develop other players, I'm sure Cook is one they were referring to. You don't draft KP's then just offload them. You have to put time into them to get any value out of them. Trading a KPP after 1 injury interrupted development season is a ridiculous notion.

There's always one.

Absolutely not. Have watched him very closely. Offers nothing.

I'm happy with this whole situation. I like Caddy, would have liked to have obtained his services, but I doubt he's connected to one of Neeld's 'holes' in the list. We keep our picks. Essendon got screwed and frustrated. GC did themselves no favours being so pig headed, especially considering Caddy's father's situation. I'm sure Caddy would be upset, that in turn effects the team mates close to him, probably also Victorians. The Vic clubs will swarm all over GC as their talent starts to develop and come out of contract. But really it's just great seeing Essendon fail.

What will he be? If he's floating around between back and forward doing SFA and still in our 22 I'll scream. It's not much, but it's a horrible scream. I hope he does become the permanent FP, has the tools, but I just have little faith in him.

New Machine Head is awesome, 'Locust' especially. Soundwave lineup is pretty good, sideshows will send me broke. Hope Machine Head and Mastodon do sideshows at least.

A much, much more gifted player than Dawes, and I'd have nervously settled for Dawes, thank god he declined our offer. Mitch is the safer bet for what we need, worth every penny. And for just pick 12 is a bonus. Getting Clark, Craig, Misson and even Neeld who were all able to choose multiple options is just huge. I haven't seen an off season like it. I could get used to this.

136 spoiler below if you haven't watched it. Franky the Answer to everything Edgar!!! My god, if we had 3 of him in our midfield we'd go alright, heart bigger than Tito's head. What a fight, couldn't believe I was watching that first round, again. Then in the 2nd he just comes out like nothing had happened... again, and takes over. Also couldn't believe he finished it, thought he'd just box it out to a decision win, but what a lightweight champion he has become, a movie should be made about him. I thought K Flo did really well, felt bad for him looking so defeated after it, I think he'll retire, he's smart, will commentate and or train/coach. Aldo is a class above though, precision strikes, sadly for all the viewers he fought a really smart fight instead of giving us a highlight finish. If Aldo v Edgar does eventuate, I dunno who I'd go for, so part of me doesn't want it to happen. Nam Phan v Garcia was great. That was a brawling fight I'll watch about 50 times. If that cheating criminal beats Anderson Silva, I will cry. The Lion Hotel, level 3 Melbourne Central next to rockstar bowling. Big projector screen plus heaps of big screen TVs, good PA system and good food. Went yesterday and enjoyed it. I've also been to the Lower (Lower Plenty) not too bad.

Can play forward or back, is not just hard, he is an enforcer that wants to hurt [censored]. And we haven't really seen his full range yet, he's had an injury interrupted run. Then there's the team morale thing, being so close to our best young player and probable future captain. He was also on the radar of many a club, which says to me he'll definitely be a player.
