Was about to post the same thing... I'm pretty sure that happened when he did a face plant which saw him going off the ground for a couple of minutes for a check up on his arm (I think it was).

Not really... the fact that within lierally days of the EW sponsorship going belly-up, Cam has sealed not one, but three new sponsorship deals (WebJet, Hertz and Opel), which although maybe not exceeding the total of the EW deal (which with the benefit of hindsight was probably unrealistic anyway), hopefully will prove more valuable in the long term. Posters such as Thomo were happy to condemn, but where are they now? And before anyone says, oh, but the possibility of such and such being a sponsor was handed to Schwab on a platter, understand that he is still responsible for convincing the potential sponsor of the benefits to them and for ultimately sealing the deal; for example, the Kaspersky sponsorship may have been handed to him by a supporter within the company, but it still wouldn't have happened without Cam's hard work and assurances.

Interesting how everyone was jumping all over Schwab for the collapse of the EW deal and his lack of due dilligence etc etc and calling for his head... thus far I have seen very little love for him in this thread. Funny (not) how we love to kick a man when he's down but can't find it in ourselves to praise him when he does well. Thanks Cam... good get. (by the way, does anyone have an idea of the $ worth and agreed period for this deal?)

Maybe he's Molly's love child? (at least I almost got my wish of them wearing the number 11 over their hearts - on a clover instead over the sternum :-) )

It's a doddle! I can actually handpass the 40 metres after running for a full 120 mins and kick it 65 metres into the wind... all while fending off two or three opposition players (and then I wake up). I think we will be 0-11 and I believe we will win no more than 3 games for the entire season.

Yes, I have to admit I was revolted when I read back what I had written.

I imagine (or at least, hope) the powers that be at Larrikin Music won't be sleeping too well tonight. A sad loss.

Possible Clarendon "Ohms"... one of Australia's largest builders?

Thanks for that DC.

Excellent news! Finally things are starting to look up for the MFC... now, if only we could secure a win against the Doggies.

Hertz facebook page as just tweeted by MFC: http://www.facebook....oratioAustralia By the way, does anyone have any idea what this sponsorship is worth on $ terms? (not mentioned in MFC article)

Strict adherents to any faith could quite rightly (in their minds) make the same argument.

If you're a fundamentalist christian, there was no stone age. All religions are farcical to me, but if people choose to believe, then that's fine... and I see absolutely no reason why prayer rooms should not be provided. If they do not inconvenience you in any way RF, just what exactly is your problem?

Pm24 isn't so wrong with that comment. For example, do you really believe that with so few incursions into our forward 50, Clark could afford to attempt to play on when he had marked so close to goal? That effort had be shouting at the TV! I think your reaction to pm24's comments are a little over the top...he was hardly crucifying the guy, just providing a fairly well balanced assessment.

Giving this a bump as a reminder to all... currently half way through the second quarter,

I have watched the replay several times and still believe that Jackson is in no way responsible. It was purely momentum resulting from the Grimes tackle - they fell together and I will say it again, Jackson simply did not have time to make a conscious effort to land with all of his weight on Grimes' head.

Easy to make that albeit errant conclusion by watching a slo-mo replay, but watched at normal speed, there is absolutely no way he could have made such a conscious decision and I would say, no way he did... take off the red and blue goggles.

I have watched that footage several times and I'm sorry, but I just do not see any slinging motion at all on the part of Jackson. Grimes was holding Jackson and both were turning, lost balance and Jackson landed on top of Grimes. No ones fault. I think that trying to find something in that incident is really taking parochialism a bridge too far... if anyone is to be blamed, it should be the MCC (I assume it's their call) for having that surface so close to the field of play.

Well, in actual fact we HAVE seen it. MFCSS does not necessarily only manifest itself when we are traveling better than expected; rather, it can also appear when we are getting our pants lowered, but the form it takes is that of ridiculous optimism... that is, a few days after a 108 point loss to Wet Toast we were going to walk all over the Toigs. Now, after a football lesson from the Toigs, people are already spouting about how we are going to walk all over the Doggies.

Someone in another thread mentioned that Jurrah was two weeks away from playing at Casey.

We all know the great guitarists like Clapton, Hendrix, Townsend and Page, so I thought I'd throw in a couple of lesser known lights, who I consider to be among the best: Bill Nelson from Be Bop Deluxe (featured no less than bass player Charlie Tumahali formerly of the Australasian band Healing Force): Crying to the Sky: and former Fleetwood Mac guitarist (when they were a decent band) Peter Green: End of the Game (if you can get your head around the free form approach, this playing is simply unbelievably good):

Agree with the first comment, but as far as the 'turning it around' comment goes, how long have we been trying to do that now? As someone else alluded to somewhere here on these forums, we have the turning circle of a Mac truck.

And if Dees189227 is accurate in his reporting of Neeld's presser (I haven't seen or heard it), "...the worst thing is Neeld said in the presser that Moloney is still a few weeks away. How bad is this groin?" Is this fact or fiction? (many seem to be nominating Beamer to come back this week)

I take it you mean Sharon Hoe(y)... yeah, rabid I think is the term that best describes her.

Sorry, but after our past 3 weeks, even with Lake out, I cannot see us rolling the Doggies; they are another of those teams that seem to have the wood on us. I'm usually very upbeat about our chances, but I'm starting to get whatever it is that Old Dee is suffering. After watching the way GWS showed some fight against the Weagles, I am feeling more and more disenchanted...as I said somewhere else, I feel bad about giving my 10 year old son a Young Demon membership as part if his birthday present...in retrospect, I think he might have preferred a pair of socks.
