What is this diabolical parallel football dimension i find myself in ? Where has all the footy gone ? ............... ................ When will they ever learn ?

Just curious. Why stand in line .. absolute pain. Buy a ticket online ?

Quite correct. I ill considered that the replacement was coming from the listed emergencies.

? Something of a Saint among Sinners ?

Curious that he would not have been named on the bench if still subject to a fitness test. Aren't Dees liable to be fined if subbing ?

Even with Truck named on the field ? ?

Oh woe is me ....writes the revisionist golden one. As knobs go... he's in a class by himself.

Personally id have Jeffy in for Harmes. If neither are on....not a lot of diff. If ON... Garletts ceiling is much higher. Also....am keen to see Charlie and Jeffy together.i just get a feeling theyd click massively. Both very instinctive users of the ball. What a handful...if on song. Harmes can play well but though a reactionary type player id just have an in form Jeff instead. Just me. Not happening this game. Harmes really needs to produce IMHO

Ah...the Devil .... Strangely I don't personally have an issue with a machine per se. It ALWAYS comes back to an individual's decision.. play/ not play ...drugs ..take not take. But there are subtle coercions applied to lure many an unsuspecting punter. I register your thoughts though. Devil out ...

And once again it all gravitates back to who knows what and when about who. There was a lot of anecdotal material doing rounds for yonks about Bomber. Some even made its way to this thread before ' finger waving' and such detered it. GFC had a pretty good idea... Yet what did they do? Seems they were more interested in the Silverware. EFC knew what was what..well the movers and shakers must have. This still raises many questions... especially of either complicity or conspiracy by some within AFL house.

In both instances might i suggest its the facilitation of either evil. Id be needed to be convinced that Bomber is some poor enduser victim ( only )

I am talking about Bomber Ernest. I dont give a flying f about his demise. I dont. His own predicament is testament sufficient..youd have thought. He also without doubt had influence upon decisions that affected the welfare of others. Mental health is a serious issue. Drugs dont help it. It would appear he self medicated in lieu of help. Pile all your excuses over there Ernie >>>>>> His kind are a blight.

He was in a position of trust and responsibilities. He had enormous resources and ample opportunities to make good judgement. He failed himself and others. I have not one single ounce of sympathy for such kind. I dont Ernest. He not only has brought misery upon himself, more fool him but without doubt he's affected others by design or decision. If a victim...hes a victim of his own stupidity. I care not for such. Ive seen the harm drugs can do. They are the scourge of our society. He's made Faustian deals which are now calling for payment. Such is life...Tough shlt.

I think we'll need a better plan than this to encourage players to Step Up if we're ever to get truly serious ?

Im rather amused how even now the spin doctors are painting Bomber as almost a victim. The man had choices. All those involved in either drugs or 'supplements' had choices. The 'coming back to bite you on the bvm' was only a matter of time.

The Toiges also kept us in it in the 1st Qtr. Similarly had they kicked true...all over red rover. Despite what others may think I reckon the comparison of ours and Collingwood's efforts is worth looking at. They tried to play THEIR game...god knows what we were doing other than British Bulldogs/Rolling Scrum !! The Pies didn't fall for the trap of having TOO many at the contest. I think this is a flawed tactic of ours. The Pies had the fat side better protected and open for their own use. We clogged it up. ( Not the fat side...just the contest...we allowed Richmond easy passage ) We didn't seem to quite so much against Ess...but it was only Ess.

Mr T strikes me as fairly level headed. Barring injury he'd probably have 2 contracts of note left in his career. The next one is payday. As noted .. there's a balance to be struck but if fit he is a rather rare commodity. I see his future days as at least 95% fwd of the centre...only rarely pinching down back...if at All. A pretty mobile big fella with big tank. He wants to stay a Dee. Commendable. There will however be a decent queue of check wavers forming. Would Tom not be a 4 million man over 4 years ? With newer club caps etc id say that was reasonable. Like houses...a Million ain't what it used to be.

Happy to just take the win at this stage. The Saints will be smarting for a win. We couldn't annihalate a custard tart at present. Lets not get too cocky or ahead of ourselves ... now that IS something we're good at !!!

Some in history need to be brought to account

Not hard to follow really Who owns Fox

I think Charlie might have put ol BJ right off his pretzels !!

I understand the sarcasm..not without cause. There are some Magistrates though whose determinations seem lame beyond belief. This is out in the public now and the various and nefarious players will be wanting to establish the "narrative" ( dont you just love that word...SOoooooo buzzy makes you fuzzy !!) Not all courts are created equal.

Setting the tone Establishing faux boundaries

Quite an interesting read https://www.foxsports.com.au/afl/what-happens-next-for-mark-bomber-thompson-and-why-he-is-unlikely-to-face-jail/news-story/05f8309e627611affd5a2960df12c8c9 Possibly the 8-900 g of MDMA might alter this ?

Rest on the ground ? Hmmm ??? Thats just silly
