    Sounded far more sincere that HWSNBM all those years back.
  2. He will be sorely missed .... where is the similarity you refer to? Has he a successor under his wing?
  3. Do they have a duty of care to provide, or a duty of care to make every reasonable effort to provide?..... not sure that absolute freedom from racism is possible if the public at large and allowed into the grounds.
  4. I will have to remember to steer well clear of Merrimack College (wherever that is) .... the Professor sounds like someone just looking for trouble where it ain’t. It is folk like her who give the whole equality / anti discrimination movement a bad name in some circles. And totally different, in another world, from being called a black c.....

    In fairness, there would be very few still alive who could remember Barassi Snrs playing attributes, whereas many remember Viney Snr and Jnr. (The Johnson and Molloy FS were not much of a success.)
  6. Joe may have talent but I think he is an extremely dumb decision maker. Slobbo can And does think what he likes .... EssUndone will always be right and best in his unbiased opinion. Certain things have that effect on one’s little brain.
  7. Yes I did forget Alvie’s though the question was post Flower. (Certainly a far better player than a fourth quarter GF game day coach ?)

    Perhaps Christian has a very limited attention span
  9. Tingay? S Stretch?
  10. Maybe the coach pharmacist will cook some good stuff for him.
  11. Aim high ..... why just aim at scraping in? Win 15, 16 + and aim for top 4, then top 2, then top.
  12. Toumpas-Wines is water under the bridge .... too many what ifs??? Such as IF we got Wines we may have won a game or two more and missed on Oliver or Petracca etc etc (could have got McCartin or Parish ?) We (should) have moved on from that by now (as we should re NikNat-Watts) Not much use ever worrying about what one cannot alter, though one should always learn.

    P ..... surely embarrassment requires insight, so I doubt if any would actually be embarrassed

    They also maligned the umpire who was right there and clearly without hesitation said hit to the throat? Are these guys all deaf as well as the blind and dumb we already know about? And Lloyd of course knows all about diving, though he usually did dive forward.
  15. A couple of questions for avid training and Casey watchers. How are Baker and Balic progressing? Are these potentially what we need here?
  16. None of the commentators appeared to hear the umpire, who was right on the spot, call the throat contact .... the despicable Slobbo ranted on about it again today. Sober folk heard the call. Never recall Slobbo calling Dive Bomber Lloyd for his systematic staging ??????? Hopefully not the same SJ system Jesse used after his much discussed free right in front :-(((
  17. Not sure why this is in this thread, but ANB needs at least a few weeks at Casey to regain that confidence. Hannan is overtaking him as opportunistic goalsneak.
  18. Cale and Toump are, happily, ancient history Fritsch and possibly Hannan look like they could be options from inside the club

    Is that the same ladder predictor that our club used before round 23 last year which prompted them to tell us about finals tickets?? In which case I think it would be better left down :-((((
  20. IMO Tracc has already surpassed Col.
  21. I honestly cannot remember even one who wore the number with distinction since the great RDB - Fritsch to me looks the best so far. Many have been great disappointments (to say the least): Ray Groom was probably the best of a bad lot in my memory.
  22. I just hope he plays QB and has a blinder! He is coming along nicely and complements Hogan and Tommy beautifully. Learning ruck work.

    Just flabbergasted that the investigation was primarily of Hogan's actions and not on Carlisle's! Blame the victim .... In this the year of the clergy child abuse royal commission, one could say that Christians have lost a fair bit of credibility - this is one more hit. Lloyd the greatest diver in AFL history - pot ... kettle .... black.

    A fine for what? Being hit in the throat in full view of an umpire? OMG.
  25. monoccular replied to Demonland's post in a topic in Melbourne Demons
    Were you in the same position as the umpire? He had absolutely no hesitation in paying the free and saying he went for the throat.
