From the onset, you have by far been the most abusive person in this discussion. Anyone who disagrees with you was given a serve for absolutely no good reason.

Becoming???

I think it must be a side effect of dealing with HFF. Apologies.

And here I was thinking maybe he was on the verge of having a stroke. ?

And who might those proven finals players be, that are available and affordable? And how are you going to recognise young talent in a draft year in which there has been very little opportunity for young talent to reveal itself?

Irony in a nutshell!

WTF does that have to do with his being taken on or not?? What century/decade are you even living in?? How about we get Max to rid himself of that hipster beard as well! Sure, it's reasonable to comment on the excessively long run up (but if it helps him to kick accurately, then I certainly don't have a problem with it), or to comment on his staging (not that I've really noticed it so much), but sorry, I find those concerns about a person's appearance (which has no bearing on their footballing ability) to be so out of step with reality.

If there was ever any doubt about the NS medalist...

Well yeah, but you can’t have quality acts like Meatloaf and Angry Anderson every year.

I may be jumping the gun, but why can’t we have pre game entertainment this good every year?

I tried to resist, but no... it was NOT Soloman, it was Sampson, Homer Sampson!!

As it looks like we are likely to bag both Brown and Smith, any further trades will likely have to be for budget priced players. And as one of our needs (at least in my opinion) is a good crumbing forward, I'm hoping that the club will take a good look at Ronke. He wouldn't use up much of the salary cap and if he is able to discover the kind of form he showed early in his time at the Swans, he's a very worthwhile investment.

I actually love it because I can watch without the added stress of having a vested interest in the game. Of course I want to see us make the GF, but if the stress I felt in 2018 for just a Prelim final was anything to go by, I'm not sure how much I could enjoy sitting through the big one. I never got to 'see' any of our wins (just heard them on the radio - no live TV coverage back then) as my parents were not really into footy, so we didn't get to go to games, and I was too young to travel from Croydon to the 'G' solo. Fortunately the club saw fit to transfer this year's GF Guarantee payment to cover 2021, so all extremities are crossed for next year.

In other words, you invented an issue to support your own bias. No worries.

I may be missing something here, but can you please inform me as to exactly how he was involved in Board politics? I know he made comment on the possible shift to Tasmania (saying he'd love to see a Tasmanian team as the 19th team), but what else did he do? Serious question, by the way.

hahaha... oh the irony.

RUOK?

Yeah, who wants a forward that could only average 45 goals a season (without missing a game) up until the end of 2019; the last three of those seasons each with yields of >60 goals with delivery that was not particularly special in any kind of way. Why would anyone want a player like that? It just beggars belief!

In that case, my time would be better spent developing some kind of youth elixir.

I was thinking "Groundhog Day" at the beginning of the week... I've since learned three classical languages as well as Japanese and Mandarin, can play most of Beethoven's catalogue and have obtained my commercial pilot's license.

Rocca? ?

The main issue with her appointment is that Obama was howled down/blocked by McConnell for trying to install a new judge in the supreme court 300 days out from an election, the reason being that it was an election year. They now do the same thing 30 days out from an election simply because they have the numbers and not a peep out of McConnell. Reeks of hypocrisy.

All Presidents from Bush Snr onwards have appointed 2 justices each to the Supreme Court, but Trump is about to eclipse that with this latest appointment. As for the rest such as the Appeals Court etc...

So sad... https://www.smh.com.au/sport/afl/gws-player-jacinda-barclay-dies-suddenly-20201013-p564s9.html
