Yeah, I know that. Although I’d still say it’s much less likely on balance of probabilities to skittle someone with a slap. I was just trying to answer DV8’s seemingly inane question.

No, I don’t think that’s okay either, but obviously there’s a much lower chance of doing serious damage with an open handed slap. Like anything, there are degrees of seriousness in assaults. I’ve never heard one anyone being killed by a one-slap, have you?

Is this an obscure joke that’s gone over my head, or are you really calling the bloke a grub for not nodding to a stranger in an airport?

Relevance, your honour?

I agree strongly with your last line, but I just want to say that nobody has suggested he’s blameless. He is obviously a loose unit and by all accounts, poured plenty of petrol on the fire.

His point was that it was only a light bashing. It’s fine to bash someone if they mouth off a bit. By the way, he has no idea what I have and haven’t seen.

How many people did he punch?

If thinking people should be above throwing punches at anyone makes me a virtuously superior SJW, sign me up ?

I thought so.

Your point?

Bloke bashes the daylights out of a mentally impaired man, but it’s all fine because they exchanged a few words and the victim knocked a beer out of his hand beforehand. F me, our society’s attitude towards violence is the pits. It staggers me that anyone thinks this is even remotely defensible, or that the two acts are in any way comparable.

Probably trying too hard as a result of every second bastard being onhis case.

I dunno mate, just assumed we’d need two talls. Haven’t watched a red second of Hawthorn this year. If we don’t, so be it. The point was I want TMac back in to the forward line.

You’ve seen how fast lies spread in the footy world. “They turned up unfit” and “they drank their own bathwater” is circulating about our players at a furious pace, even on this forum where we’re supposed to be on their side. I think he has every right to respond with a rebuttal. Yes, obviously we would all prefer the club responded by hitting the magic “get good at footy” switch again instead of talking (nobody moreso than Max I reckon), but of course since that doesn’t exist, he is allowed to defend himself.

In: O.McDonald Out: Viney Won’t satisy anyone’s bloodlust, but I’m fine with that. TMac to go forward again. Weideman stays in. We need to figure out how to make that combination work again - it’s far too important for the future to abandon now. It’s reason #1 why we’ve been garbage. Not too interested in any other fringe player swaps, though I wouldn’t be averse to having a look at Keilty.

Pick 10 is high enough to get a very good player. The days of hoping we play worse so we advance a couple of spots in the draft are behind me, personally. I won’t do that and would prefer 9th over 10th, 10th over 11th, 11th over 12th and 17th over 18th.

Righto then mate. Stone motherless last. No scope for improvement in this side whatsoever. ?

We will finish in the 9-12 range.

Just a fleeting visit. We’re not here to stay.

Did Keilty do enough to put himself in contention? We are in need of a forward who can mark.

Been watching the Freo Bulldogs game, one highlight for Freo is their talls in Hogan and Taberner taking marks. Liked the move of TMac back to defence to get him back in the game again, but this has reinforced to me that we have to get him back playing as a marking forward ASAP. We also have to persist with Weideman. I’m 100% convinced that if we can correct that one single aspect of our game, rapid improvement will come.

It’s because nobody has actually died.

Not that I expect anyone to give a rat’s about my threats but if we on Demonland are about to embark on another round of barracking for losses or hoping other sht teams crawl past us, I am out of here. We’ve seen how much that hurt last time and the payoff was far from worth it. That’s a loser’s game - even if it’s only supporters - and I’m not playing it. I hope Port win by 100.

Rewind the clock about two minutes further and see Baguley get a free kick and goal for a hold when he was the one doing the holding. Total BS free kick. If that hadn’t happened Essendon fans would have nothing to complain about as the game should have been out if reach by the time the Pendlebury thing happened. I think in general in our game we have a culture of pissing and moaning about umpiring in general. It’s a game where a lot of the rules are subjective. In every single game there’s calls good and bad. It’s the nature of the game. It’s a garbage excuse for booing 10 minutes after the game anyway. On a day that is supposed to be about coming togetherness, while ANZAC representatives were on the ground awarding a champion player. Boo your head off while the game is being played, and even after the siren. Once the presentations start, STFU and show some respect.

Sorry, frustration gets the better of me sometimes. With regards to Jones - he’s struggling for sure, however I can’t see him being dropped. There’s at least 3 players I can think of that would be first and there are zero players at Casey better than him. He will be persevered with for some time yet. As for the games record, if it’s irrelevant as you’re now saying, then I’m not sure why you brought it up in the first place. Your whole post was centred around him not being worthy for holding these records, I’m not sure what else you were expecting us to conclude.
