As did I

Melbourne 2013

Maybe his source is accessible only by the "golden telephone"

I'm not sure that will be an issue as we are not likely to encounter summer conditions like those yesterday, during the season. Why expose your players to the possibility of heat exhaustion at this time of year... Port were proof that it wasn't a wise move on their part to restrict interchanges in these conditions.

As did Toumpas!

You have to be kidding! If it wasn't for Jetta's first half, we may have been a LOT further down at half time... I consider his effort in that first half to be one of the contributors to us being in a position to win the game; ergo, I was rather surprised that no-one seemed to be listing him in their top players. Also, I was another who only just read this thread from start to finish having watched a recording of the game courtesy of the fact I was at band rehearsal all afternoon. Conclusion: there are some seriously bi-polar contributors on Demonland.

"The Revenant" I liked, but to be honest, I much preferred his last film "Birdman"... the bear scene was extremely well done; exhausting to watch in the same way that Deliverance was exhausting to watch when it first appeared. Other than that, I just found some of the scenes a little too contrived and I was a little disappointed when the director used the "meteor" in one scene... it must be some sort of metaphor that he has become attached to as he also used it in "Birdman". In recent times, the films I have given repeat viewings are "Birdman" and "St Vincent"... both excellent vehicles for their aging stars in Keaton and Murray respectively. Another film I thoroughly recommend is from the French director Jean-Pierre Jeunet (Amelie) called "The Extraordinary Voyage of the Young and Prodigious T.S. Spivett; completely unheralded but an absolutely brilliant film! I just can't stop watching it over and over. Also, last night I watched one of the better music BluRays I have seen for a long long time in Elvis Costello's Detour... he is performing for the most part solo to a smallish audience in an opera house in Liverpool and recounting stories regarding how he came up with particular songs, his family life, his father and grandfathers influence on him musically speaking etc etc. He also brings on two guests in Rebecca and Megan Lovell (on mandolin and lap steel guitar respectively, as well as vocal harmonies) from the band Larkin Poe; together they combine to turn out some of the best versions of EC's songs I have ever heard... uplifting to say the very least.

I'm just curious as to what the Toump did that he deserves to be sledged? Fair enough if he walked out for big money when he was a big contributor, but did he and was he? Give the guy a break, I say.

I think they did... one of the sources listed is the Sydney Morning Herald, but that is now a dead link.

Wagner is giving Dunn a preview of the first part of his Ring cycle?

I read an AFL.com report that said Spencil had rolled his ankle and that it didn't appear to be serious as he was walking with barely a limp after the game.

the soft attitude that constantly pervades & infects our players & recruits from within, & turns them into nice business types, but removes they're animal instincts which they need to be warriors of the footy field. it turns young supermen into Clark Kents & Jimmy Olsens.

He's just feeling a little negative today, that's all.

Drone; even worse, a drone suffering from narcissistic personality disorder. Oh, and if straw clutching was an olympic sport, you would be a gold medalist... I simply refuted your claim. Nice to see you dodge the other part of my post: "Oh, and I'd love to see where you get your "trillions" of dollars spent on climate change figure from."

Rather than talk about it, we as a family actually give; just as we are prepared to give when it comes to securing a better environment. Judging by your posts, you see no further than your wallet. Oh, and I'd love to see where you get your "trillions" of dollars spent on climate change figure from.

Yes, but there are those who refuse to accept such diagnosis... am I right on that count ENYAW?

Stop it or you'll go blind! I find it rather ironic that you say this while calling others drones. And sorry, but I do not for one second believe that you care in the least about the poverty stricken.

And you're so desperate to hang on to your pennies that you choose to believe anything that is presented as science (provided it coincides with your point of view).

I'd like you to report to all of the signatories to the new agreement... they obviously need your expertise and insight (once they come to terms with your arrogance of course). The UoCS comprises experts in the area of global science and it is their belief that the sun has had nothing to do with the continued warming over the past 6 decades... good enough for me.

"...although fluctuations in the amount of solar energy reaching our atmosphere do influence our climate, the global warming trend of the past six decades cannot be attributed to changes in the sun" Caption for the image: "Heat-trapping emissions (greenhouse gases) far outweigh the effects of other drivers acting on Earth’s climate.

I missed that concert... I went to the first Sunbury in January 1972... interesting sums it up best, I think. Some great music, but lots of drunk yobbos beating the crap out of each other and lots of stoners who didn't seem to know where they were.

Certainly a far cry from Sunbury where they were all but run out of town :-)

Sorry PD, I don't consider myself a target as I don't have an over-inflated view of myself and my opinions... besides, I would hate to get into a demarcation dispute with you on that ground.
