  1. What about yourself Biff - fully detoxed?
  2. Not a mistake you'd want to live with. Anyway real point of post. Why did you change your name? Beelzebub was a real kickarse demon - Satan's right hand man as it were. He had serious street cred.
  3. I'm with the rest of you. Recognise his strong start but cant wait for his further development.
  4. It is great to have Brad Miller back at the club. While not an outstanding talent - he made more than the best of what he had. He was highly respected among the players and many were disappointed at his departure. He also had guts and would "fly the flag". I remember a game against Essendrug some years ago at Etihad. I was behind the goals and some Essendon players began monstering a skinny kid called Jack Watts. Miller intervened and let it be known that he was on the job. He was one of the few Melbourne players who would carry out such a role in recent years.
  5. Had a brief chat to him in the "Betty Cuthbert" bar during the season. He is certainly a big lad. However I was really impressed by his manner, his keeness and his modesty. He presented as a genuine nice kid.
  6. He looked like a fish out of water at times but also showed some poise- particularly towards the end of the year. He certainly didn't match Wines' efforts but let's see how he develops in 2014.
  7. As soon as I hear anything I'll send you a note by alpaca express to calm your fluttering little heart Moonie.
  8. Robbo is surely the major media goose. Not only are his comments generally banal but he also has the ability to butcher the language in a way that makes you think his native tongue must be some obscure dialect of Xhosa. EDIT typo
  9. Massdebate on Demonland!!! Hardly new.
  10. I have described her in the past, I believe accurately, as "both having one and being one".
  11. An old pessimist like you knows better than that OD!!
  12. Well my optimistic half won out and I have just upgraded from Trident to Legend. Hope it's a good investment!
  13. I haven't read the entire thread but posters are talking 700k. Would this make him our highest paid player? Is he worth this? Does he deserve the right to be more highly paid than any other player? Answers please.
  14. I would like to see Sylvia play as a virtually permanent forward with the occasional run in the midfield. He has played some very good footy there, even at CHF( which he clearly isn't). He can lead, take a contested mark, he is an opportunist, and he is a good kick. With the likes of Clark, Dawes and Hogan in the area he could be very dangerous.
  15. It's a place where Kiwis have multiple sex partners.
  16. Ok DC, I have carried out some exhaustive research, including access to Biffen’s private document library at the Gat. Here are my conclusions which I think can be considered definitive. The Giants were more properly called the Phillistines which, of course became shortened to the Phillies. This name was also adopted by a later New World team which was far more successful and rich but were often confused with the originals. Further, many commentators, yourself included I believe, fell into the trap of thinking the Jerusalem Alpacas merged with the Camels. A patently untrue and insidious assertion. David, however, the villain of the piece, ironically, went on to a very successful political career. Goliath, the unfortunate recipient of the behind the play incident, was never the same again – A bit like John Greening of the filth.
  17. Some lovely content on this thread. Thanks, it is uplifting to read good feeling stories on any media.
  18. Tales differ here. I heard that the giants were awarded the points because of an incident involving a player named David. Apparently he felled a giant off the ball. There was also an, I believe outrageous, story that a rock was used.
  19. Must have meant theJerusalem Alpacas DC
  20. Ha Ha Ha. That's funny.
  21. Nah [censored] Moon. The comparison is reasonable. I with my mate Stuie on this.
