John Crow Batty

That was Mayne's best game since 2013.

Complete [censored] decision. He had no time to get out of the way as the Freo player was still completing his follow through straight at him.

I thought we were solid from 10 minutes after the start to early last quarter. Again missed all the opportunities to get us within meaningful striking distance and put scoreboard pressure on. Again we capitulated in the last quarter. Agree Hogan played too far up field. He was all over the place and when the ball came forward he was usually nowhere near it. Watts needs time out. Not sure whether we are two steps forward, one step backwards or the reverse at this stage. Why can sides side Collingwood and the Bulldogs wilth callow lists play with such maturity and we still flounder? Sure Freo were awesome but we made the game into a training run for them.

Can't believe Freo have omitted Mzungu. Came on last week as the sub late and did some great things to stifle the Swans final charge. They must be really confident or over confident I hope.

If Lewis and Hodge were named Dawes they would get. 6 weeks each.

Tip of the iceberg stuff. There is a lot more that could never be published because of legal reasons.

The Saddam Malthouse Vs Ayatollah Buckley death match.

Let's hope there is no cross contamination. I would not let HH near our players unless wearing a full body condom.

It would be interesting to know how far away the test for detecting TB4 is. I imagine this will be a priority for WADA as they are now in a position that they need to make examples of systematic abusers and sports bodies that thumb their noses at the system. If they let this fade away, the perception will be they are a toothless irrelevance.

I have got seven cheap kicks along with about four or five suspensions up to 6 months in length.

Abuse of power comes to mind. You may have had a case for bullying.

Good point. Just bring him in to try to monster Sandilands like Vince with Danger. He can't be beat with classic ruck work.

In the very old days a a groin injury was often an euphemism for veneral disease. I wonder what a modern euphemism for foot injury could be?

I thought the night clubs would be rejoicing. Now he can give them his undivided attention 7 days a week and spend up all his severance pay. I would not be surprised though if come around September he and Ben Cousins get arrested for trying to hijack a Whiteman Park ex Melbourne W class tram to get to the MCG.

I thought this thread was bumped to announce he will be back to play against us this week or got eaten by shark while surfing. Come to think of it he was a shark to manage to get all those games and big bucks for doing bugger all..

if we cause an upset and finally get two in a row it may sway some of the fence sitters. And there are many of them.

IMO the biggest issue here is possible invasion of privacy. Far outweighs what he said if he did say it privately. I mix with a lot of people and have attended parties and functions from many ethnic groups, Some which have been well known victims of racism. The racist talk there can be quite shocking and disgusting. Members here of certain ethnic groups will know exactly what I am talking about. As far as I am concerned they shall remain publically anonymous. Every ethnicity and culture shares the same vulnerability to racist action and thought. Having snoops report on private coniversations were the foundation stones the Gestapo, KGB and Stasi were built on.

If he said it publicly then a witch burning is appropriate. If it was a private thing overheard by a snoop then not an issue. Who said something like "he who casts the first stone" ? I am sure everyone of us would be damned for eternity for a fraction of private FIMD we all do occasionally if made public.

He did his sums and worked out he could sell more newspapers and make more money if the bombers won.

Makes my face screw up to see that ratbag Murdoch as a supporter. He is the biggest cheese in controlling world sport but has done bugger all for us as far as I can tell. Shameless meddler only interested in power and making more money. If one deserves a punch in the nose for getting into people's space it is him.

From the evidence of Clarkson's past pugilistic handiwork as a player and coach, that yobbo was lucky Clarkson did not not punch him.

Have we softened up the Crows for a Bulldog mauling?

The furious momentum driven way many teams are playing these days will cause a lot of burnout come July August. Even more intense than last season. The teams with the best resiliance will feature top four. Not necessarily the current fast burners. This was well demonstrated last season where Hawthorn and Swans had relatively poor starts. There may be a few surprises.

I might be tempted by Fyfe but only if we could secretly clone Hogan first.

I think we are seeing some of the fallout with GC's poor start to the season. I thought it was very poor form to sack him.
