  1. There was a lot to like about Joel Smith yesterday but... He kicks like Cameron Bruce used to. Lots of helicopters and leg breaks. No drop punts.

    Currie cemented his spot as number 1 ruckman at gold coast this year until he broke his hand in 3 different incidents and 3 different spots. Two of the breaks required surgery to repair. Before that he was behind Goldstein in the sub era where teams stopped playing a backup ruck.
  3. Hopefully 3 time premiership player Jack Viney does an apprenticeship somewhere else before he continues the chain and leads us to further glory.
  4. Not sure why everyone is so critical of Freo / Ross Lyon. If Sylvia just has a good pre-season they will be alright.

    It's funny listening to SEN every Monday morning a Melbourne supporter alwayscalls up and says Jetts is in All Australian form. Yet almost no-one puts him in the demonland votes. Surely the people passionate enough to call up talk back radio are posting on demonland.

    Not quite. Whelan was more ferocious and a more penetrating kick. No disrespect to Jetta who is in AA form. There is every chance Whelan's completely fair but brutal bumps would be unlawful today.
  7. Spot on.
  8. Great call nutbean. At the time I was wondering how the call could possibly be overturned by the 3rd umpire. Which it couldn't be. But you are spot on that it could affect the players decision making as well.

    What does everyone think about Slash playing for ACDC? I'm a bit torn. Guns'n roses one of my favourite bands ever. Likewise ACDC. Not sure this is a match made in heaven.

    Kate Miller Heidke does the greatest opera version of Psycho Killer by the Talking Heads you could ever see.
  11. Given Brayshaw wasn't given NAB challenge games it's hard to draw a line. Let's hope they are both fighting for the same spot by round 5 because Trengove and Petracca are banging the door down.
  12. Brayshaw was playing pretty good footy up until he got injured. The 2nd quarter against Collingwood on Queens Birthday was something to behold. if Oliver has a better debut year it is exciting times for Demon fans.
  13. I hate Parish because he plays for Essendon. I also hated Ben Kennedy up until last years trade period because he played for Collingwood.
  14. Hopefully nab 3. He could be just building...
  15. Neither did The Ox. 2 of the best players in the last 40 years. Must be a sign...
  16. Thanks nurse's assistant john dee. I'm dumber for having read that. Let's address the facts instead of dancing around them like you do.

    I know someone who was at that concert booing them off the stage.

    The Queen song (Radio Goo Goo) isn't a masterpiece but Freddie's captivation of a packed out Wembley Stadium is as good as I have seen. I love it more for the theatre than the song itself.

    I'm going for live music The greatest duet since Sonny and Cher https://youtu.be/qiTVzUz3i40 The greatest live performance https://youtu.be/0omja1ivpx0
  20. Ocean acidification is not un-precedented. The ice sheets are melting in only one hemisphere (why do you ignore the other?); which is completely contradictory to global warming theory. That's half the planet. I love how you say "But why would things be melting in a climate that isn't warming? I am flummoxed!" 1) The climate changes and will always change are you surprised when the climate goes upwards in temperature? 2) See point 1
  21. We used pick 34 on Max Gawn who had done his ACL the previous season. He was untried at AFL level and a massive unit which could only put extra pressure on his knees. Sometimes you need to take educated risks.
  22. Why don't you address the facts instead of resorting to sarcasm? Satellite data shows no warming for 18 years but your sarcasm and the manipulated data are showing plenty of heat.
  23. I don't need to beat others into submission because the facts are on my side. Perhaps you should look at the Jack Watts, Cale Morton or Jimmy Toumpas threads for obsessive writers.
  24. There is no desperate need to be "right". You will notice Bing181 correctly called me out for saying the satellite data measures temperature. Which it doesn't. I have highlighted the fact I was incorrect. The obsessed comment also intrigues me. Can anybody contribute to a (this) thread, that has a contrary opinion to yourself, without being labelled obsessive?
  25. What do you think about Essendon? Whilst they won't produce the records of what they have injected their players I will believe it's a massive conspiracy. No different for any scientific body who won't transparently release the data behind their findings. Do you believe 2015 is the hottest year on record based on NOAA's investigation?
