Deestroy All

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.

Go on, tell him.

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.

Oh, well my apologies to the fleeing cat then.

Not sure if it's mentioned anywhere but Dom was on the Sunday Footy Show. Very impressive kid, on and off the field. His old mate Damo Barrett was sitting 2 seats away and never said a [censored] word for the whole segment, the gutless piece of [censored] [censored] [censored] rat bastard.

Loving Silicon Valley. The series of Fargo, absolutely brilliant so far, if you're not watching it, I suggest you give it a go.

Sounds like my kinda thing Cards, I'll check it out. I've seen Metal Skin a couple of times.

Is anyone watching True Detective? Best TV show at the moment by a long way. Woody and McConaughey are in rare form. In the latest episode, there's the best one-take scene since Old Boy. Brilliant show.

I agree, it's not the ideal venue for anything, especially UFC. But I'll take whatever we can get. So [censored] off that Matt Brown and Condit is cancelled this week. The only fight I was really looking forward to. Matt Brown has been awesome lately.

Thought that fight might draw you back to this thread! What a fight. Just awesome. An incredible amount of punishment absorbed by two huge fighters. I couldn't really believe what I was seeing. The draw was a great result. Funnily enough, before the card I was talking to my mate about bad judging calls, my idea is get rid of the 10 point must system and if a round is so close you can't decide, score it even. If we end up with more draws so be it. That's better than having one bloke work his arsh off for 3 months, get robbed and go home with nothing and a loss. Then a great fight happened and it was a draw and everyone was happy with it (even though I don't see how it can be a draw, they gave Hunt 10 - 8 in the last, really? Bigfoot landed strikes too I think). I've always liked Pat Barry, but I've being following Soa since I saw him live at AFC 2 and I'm glad he showed the UFC what a beast he can be. Spewin about Te Huna. Shogun still hits like a truck though, nice reminder to everyone that he's still around. I'm excited about the three TUF series we'll have to watch. Aus v Can as you mentioned. BJ v Frankie at featherweight holy [censored]. And Brazil Wandy v USA Chael LOL. And the wheels are in motion to have the cage ban lifted and a big title fight at Etihad. Exciting times for all fight fans.

A very good point.

It's our last rookie pick, who cares. Some of you are reacting like we used pick 9 on him. And it's not like he's a complete spud, he's played a couple of very good games at AFL level, which most rookies will never do. Yeah he's had 5 years, but none of them under Roos. Even if he doesn't crack another game, won't be scratch on Roos' record.

LOL Threadtato.
