Deestroy All

Yeah, 'twas a tad nasty from the humanitarian of the millennium. I'd like him to come and spend time with my dog, to see how dogs are not weak at all. He needs to be more understanding.

That was Lumumba to Rance after dive/flop number 327 on the night. About the only bit of H's work I enjoyed on the night.

We're not THAT desperate.

Just 5?? MFCSS is a real and debilitating beast, Col, of that I have no doubt.

I love that we're already questioning his loyalty, knowing zero about him personally other than he's already extended his contract once. MFCSS at its finest.

That tackle on the boundary in the 3rd, oh my. That reversal was BS. One of the multiple times King Rance dived and flopped around on the night, pathetic really.

Not really a fan.

Ledgend has it that Rischitelli still hasn't hit the ground.

Thought his preseason form might've been a bit of a fluke or any easy ride in practice games. But nope, I like him a lot. Has some pace, size, strong through the hips even though he has no calves, looks like a pro already. Has more attributes than your Magner type VFL recruits and actually adds a different dimension to the midfield/flanks. Good get!

If we could get him to tweak the pronunciation of his name a bit to Pet-tracker, could get a pet tracker as seen above on board for sponsorship, and make Hogans_Heroes happy, but we don't want to do that. Maybe whack one in the old GPS slot in his jumper. Not as far a reach as Buddha Hocking changing his name to Whiskers.

Your choice of name has preempted my mockingly Roos-esque term of endearment retort. Well played.

Christiansy. Simple.

You say OTAMOT I say ATAMOT. As for the alphabet backwards, that would take me at least 10 minutes, I just tried and [censored] up after X.

I think there's far too much focus on this leader stuff, especially when it comes to kids. Not everyone has to be a leader. Not everyone aspires to be a leader. Judd and Ablett jr just had to be because their football demanded it. Steve Johnson and Hanneberry types aren't/weren't what you'd want as a leader but you'd pick them every Thursday. Besides, I think every single kid we've drafted in the last 5 years "could be the captain one day" so Petracca, assuming the Saints are idiots, will have a hard time cracking a leadership gig in our team anyway.

Bernie Vince approves this post.

Brilliant.

Finally watched The Fall. Loved it. Gritty, old school serial killer action. Really enjoyed it and am now hanging for the second season. Also watching The Leftovers, not sure whether I like it or not but it has me intrigued for now. Bit worried it'll become pointless or absurd or I'll hate the outcome if indeed there is one, but HBO rarely lets me down so I'll stick with it. I enjoyed ep 3. First episode of The Strain was pretty good. Unless you like the new age, pretty, romantic vampires that is.

It's only a one season story, Adam, like True Detective (which is one of the best I've ever seen) so invest away knowing there'll be no sudden and conclusionless ending like Deadwood. One more episode to go and I've really enjoyed it, Billy Bob Thornton has played one hell of a character. I've been meaning to check out The Fall, I will do so once GoT and Fargo seasons finish as I'll have sweet FA else to watch.

Yeah that Salem play was brilliant, this is a kid that plays like a man. It's amazing how much joy we can get from drafting and trading, I did not know it can be a good thing.

Haven't have seen many midfielders do that period.

He used to have better hair, disappointing really. I love goal kicking midfielders that contest the ball, lay a tackle 55 metres out, rip the ball from the victims hands, stand up and kick a 55 metre goal off a step and a half.

Yeah I wasn't having a go at you, was having a laugh. And a go at the club for p!ssing away pick 20ish on numerous occasions. At least it was involved in something useful this time.

Yes that's why I'd go back and not do that whole trade if I could. Tyson is ok, but he's no A Maric, Strauss, Blease or Tapscott.
