Had you considered that perhaps Rioli's GF was not handling the situation well, or that the offender was too munted to understand that his attention wasn't appreciated. I agree that toxic male behaviour should be rubbed out, but as we are not privy to the whole situation, we are both probably best not commenting. The reason I called the original comment trash, was that it immediately assumed that Rioli and Bolton must have been the aggressors, based purely on the fact that they play for Richmond.

Ok, pick the Dees fan in this lot... he lives in Sydney nowadays and sat in with my band a few weeks ago...

Apparently the guy behaved inappropriately with Riolli's GF, Rioli remonstrated, the guy punched Rioli in the eye and Bolton stepped in to defend both Rioli and his GF. Your assumption was pretty much trash. Edit: I would prefer to see the clubs place a ban on players going to clubs etc during the season, so that if such things happen, the players can be disciplined. They are supposed to be highly paid professional athletes, and by putting themselves in a position where 'heroes' might try it on with them, they are not doing the club any favours.

The last time we were 8-0, in 1965, we failed to even make finals!

I actually feel for the umpires as they, like the players, are having to make split second decisions and therefore are not always going to get it right. Unfortunately, they don't have the benefit of slow motion replays from countless angles, but have to make a decision based on where they are standing in relation to the action... people might say they should consider the decision before blowing the whistle, but then those same people would probably complain because the umpire took so long to signal the free; they're damned either way. This is not meant as a serious suggestion, but maybe they should introduce an appeals system like in cricket, where a team has two or three appeals available to them... but, to make them think twice before they appeal, if the appeal fails, a 50m penalty is applied ?. And I certainly do not buy into the conspiracy theories that have the umpires (or certain umpires) hating the Dees.

The main impact of Spargo is that his pressure enables team mates to get more of the ball. And when he does get it himself, he rarely wastes it.

I didn’t realise that Salem was a christi... oooh, hang on, I see what you meant now.

The reason I wondered about the possibility of the number of teams affecting things was that in a 12 team comp, there may be less easybeat teams than in an 18 team comp... so depending on the luck of the draw, it could be easier to string together a large winning streak in an 18 team comp.

If we beat Carlton next week and Port beat the Dogs, we will have that two game buffer... and that’s a scenario that is not so far fetched.

To the first or second part of my question?

Is there a statistician/mathematical genius here who could possibly tell me if there is any difference between being 8-0 in a competition with 18 teams and one with 12 teams?

There was actually a better sight... Neale Daniher in the stands in a Melbourne scarf!

Yep, Hellhathnofury was one very weird cat.

I’d say that this place probably changed due to the influx of Demonology refugees.

And traces were found in the sewage in Sydney’s Inner West (where I live)... I imagine a few Swans players may also live in the area.

I was another former ‘ology member before coming to Demonland. The tipping point for me was when there was an attempted takeover by a couple of people with some kind of nefarious agenda (can’t remember exactly what it was though). There were a number of members who came here at that time, most of whom I can’t remember... RobbieF was one (whatever happened to him?).

No, that would be Zac Foot.

Hopefully, if they haven’t been already, they’ll (Swans players and crew) be tested and head down to Melbourne asap.

I actually thought he was gone as soon as I saw it happen... didn't need the slow motion. Perhaps it's also the angle of the cameras that give a skewed view of the incident? However, I am glad he is free to play.

No, you definitely should not have been cited!

I would have thought that asking you “And you know this how?” would have been a fair question, particularly considering the post was from an anonymous poster on a public forum. As you state “Is it envy or a feeling of inadequacy...”, we could equally ask whether it’s a bruised ego or a lack of praise from some posters, that makes you find it necessary to list your ‘doubters’ and attempt to belittle them. The fact that the info does appear to be solid is good, so kudos for that. As I said in an earlier post, there’s been plenty of false prophets on these forums, so you have to expect to be questioned on the veracity of your claims. And just as I type that last sentence, a notification from the MFC app pops up, telling me that Trac is now a demon for life ?

Many of us weren’t aware that goodwindees is a “solid source”. I was one who responded to his original post with “and you know this how?” because I had no clue as to his reliability. Having had many false prophets on this site, I think the response was reasonable (albeit a little on the harsh side...could have chosen a better adjective).

My poor attempt at humour falls flat yet again... do they even deal in peptides at Chemist Warehouse?
