  1. And while we’re at it, I want to know whatever happened to Uneeda crackers and Bacon Thins.
  2. There is this...
  3. Have to admire Buckley, especially after the way he ran out to console the members responsible for the banner. Regardless of what anyone thinks, he shows a hell of a lot of care for those around him.
  4. It’s a little over 5 hours drive from Sydney to Tathra. The time taken to get to the airport in Melbourne and fly to Merimbula and then drive to Tathra, as well as the costs involved, would probably end up being greater. And does the fact that his father passed away in Tathra necessarily mean that his business is located in Tathra? Hopefully he makes the decision that is best for him... not for the club.
  5. [censored] weak thing to say in light of what has been going on in his personal life.
  6. Welcome to Knee-Jerk Central.
  7. Is that anything like Kryptonite? ? But I do get what you are saying and must agree.
  8. We interstate members purchase our memberships in the knowledge that we will be lucky to have a game to go to (nothing in Sydney or Canberra this year) and, if we choose to attend home games in Melbourne, in the knowledge that is is going to hit the bank account big time. I find it somewhat offensive that you consider us not “real members”.
  9. With a little luck, the Weagles may have already been outfoxed by the umpiring committee (is there such a thing?)... with all of the media discussion over the disparity in free kicks when playing at home, the Weagles crowd may have become their own worst enemy.
  10. After numerous phone calls since last Friday trying to sort out my son's barcode after it was discovered that they had applied both of our GF Guarantees to my membership only, I have finally managed to get us registered. Why they (at the club) wouldn't have noticed the error in the first place is beyond me, as being limited to one ticket per member, any club membership can only have a single GF Guarantee attached... I only noticed it because the letter my son received in the post stated that based on his membership, he was a priority 2 member (I didn't even receive a posted letter for mine). After all of that, they owe me a win on Saturday ?
  11. Yeah, a guy into his second year of senior coaching should be doing much more than that! To tell the truth, I'm really peeved that he didn't have us top two by season's end. Anything less than a premiership is a fail in my book.
  12. I’ve got nine and a half fingers, and when I counted, I had a couple left over. There’s a ripple of polite applause each time they score, if that helps answer your question.
  13. I’m at the game (if you could call it that)... I can’t recall being at a more boring game. Nothing like finals footy... where’s the frenetic pace, where’s the risk taking? If Buddy doesn’t wake up soon, the Swans season is over.
  14. In which case, the law of averages says he’ll get this one right.
  15. Gee Wrecker, I would have picked you for one of those Range Rover driving powder hounds ?
  16. I watched, but it was just a bit of filler for a weekend with no footy (apart from VFL which I don’t see in Sydney). Did the organisers not think that perhaps, as it was being played in Adelaide, if they presented an Allstars vs South Australia game, they might have got a few more punters through the gates? Mind boggling stupidity.
  17. Maybe it's just me, but I find it rather ironic that someone calling themselves Barney Rubble, would refer to anyone as a moron.
  18. The player I feel for the most is Colin Garland who was cruelled by injury but who stuck fat with the club; if anyone deserved to play finals, it was him. Hogan and Lever, and possibly Vince, will play finals next year.
  19. That may we’ll be the point SF, but the problem here is that threads like this will be, and are, hijacked; this thread being a case in point.
  20. Lock this thread up. This kind of discussion was barred in the General forum, and now we have the usual suspects pushing their respective barrows here in a football discussion forum!
  21. Great table as it also should silence those who continually harp on about the AFL (via the umpires) having it in for us. Sydney on the other hand...
  22. Like the free against AVB, you mean?
  23. I'm afraid I don't get your drift at all... the SMH links directly to Real Footy. It has the same articles as appear in The Age online news. Oh, and if it's scrolling that bothers you, you actually have to scroll further to get to the NRL which is situated below the Sport section where the AFL news can be found. As far as numbers go, it is NOT a monopoly market. They share the AFL with GWS as well as competing with nine Sydney based NRL clubs, a number of Rugby Union clubs and soccer clubs. The fact that they have so many members is a reflection on just how well they are doing in a market that was once almost entirely owned by the NRL.
  24. Yeah, even if he was one of our better players yesterday... and even if he has performed at a much improved level since his recall.
