Bitter but optimistic

Excellent questions Moonie - your insight has surprised me. However, to be sure of the answer one would have to delve into Biffen's dark psyche. A place to be avoided!

The only way second rates journos (aka Robbo) or media types trying to keep their jobs ( aka Keka) is to try to post something sensational or incendiary or at least controversial. Facts or logic have no part in their discussion.

Stu you have this childish habit of needing to have the final word. This is not uncommon in one who has not attained full maturity and cognitive development but, unfortunately, it tends to confirm those very facts.

The apocalypse?

I didn't make an assumption Stu - I postulated an alternative. Now go away and learn a little about the rules of logic and debate before engaging with me! Goodnight!

Christ Stu, settle down and try (I know it's difficult for you) being logical. Reread your comment - it's silly. I believe there is something called list management. or future planning. Now, given Jamar's age, and the fact that both Gawn and Spencer have had serious knee issues would it not be prudent to keep an eye out for future replacements?. This not being disrespectful to anyone - it is good planning.

While not being present for said comments, I could imagine an assistant coach saying something like. "While Jamar is our senior ruckman and,especially given the high injury rate among our current stocks, we have to consider future insurance and development. We will certainly be looking at replacement options during the off season". Seems legit

Well eff em - can't go!!

Should be "who's going"!! Now answer my bluddy question!!

Serves you right for being in the AFL members area and not the MFC members area!!

I still have not received an invite!!! When is it?

You gotta be kidding me "..chunt". Tmac is an elite runner - both pace and endurance. Add the fact the he is a fair size at 94kg and you would want to keep him as a key defender surely!! No doubt he makes mistakes but he's only played 40 or so games and is still learning.

I’m certain you’ll all be interested in an update on Biffen’s latest stretch in rehab. He is almost halfway through and they are removing the straightjacket for a few hours each day. His bladder control is returning but his lewd (and apparently impossible) suggestions to his counsellors are causing concern. Nonetheless hopes are high although he still calls out “Stuie!, Stuie!”, during his hypnosis sessions.

What higher honour could be bestowed than the commendation of this august group of scholars and experts?

I feel your pain Jazz!!!! Ha ha just joking!!!

The game against the filth was far from the disaster many made it out be. They are serious finals contenders we are not. So, barring as yet unknown injury, I don't reckon there will be many changes. Gawn was exposed a couple of times but generally did OK and will stay. He is a long term prospect so where better for him to learn and improve than the ones? I can see Salem getting a rest but I haven't followed the Scorps closely enough to guess the replacement. Whoever does come in will likely be sub to give JKH a full game. He seems to prefer the opportunity to settle and work into the game.

Agree OD. How else are "scrums" going to broken up if the bloke who is prepared to get down and get pill is double punished by being slammed and then free kicked? Yeah commented (screamed vile abuse) at the time. Logically that should mean that any kick deep along the boundary (the usual get out tactic) should be penalised if it goes over the line. Umpiring is baffling - the Jetta/Vince goal was another fine exemplar.

6. Dunn 5 Jones. N 4 Vince 3 Cross 2 Pedo 1. Jetta

I hope it does not become a case of "It's my birthday and I'll cry if I want to" Have a good one WYL!!

I'm just heading off. Will have a countery first. Bangers under a mountain of chips and wash it down with half a dozen pots. Should be right in the groove by game time!

And it seems even longer OD!!

BTW glad to see you're online DC. 8.40 Sunday and you have .ucked all the blue rinsers in for the night. Well done!!

We did .................... once!

Not to mention applying a colour highlight to the Brazillian DC!!

Sure you are not delusional due to over imbibing OD?
