    Hardtack has already mentioned this one but I watch "Hunt for the Wilderpeople" over the weekend. An absolute pearler....
  2. Snatch - Brad Pitt and the dog that ate the diamond and the squeeky toy - both performances were sensational
  3. hmmm.. I fess up to actually liking it...

    seeing Ben Folds with a chamber orchestra on Friday night - should be a pearler (yes Tim - i will get to my favourite alltime albums - so many to choose from)
  6. I agree. Interested in your take on development - how much weight do you give to the development team ( and the work they have done) since Roos has come to the club. My feeling has been that in the past we have taken draft picks and said "sink or swim" whereas the Roos era has been about further education.
  7. Just as easy to say - Judging drafting on the output of players who are no older than 21 is premature in the extreme.

    I was about to post the same but I thought it was too much of a "dad joke" .

    the problem is not what we offer Freo - its what we have to offer Fyfe in terms of dollars and our cap.

    I don't have insight into how we divvy up our salaries but my inkling is what you have said. Fyfe would get a contract making him in the top 10 paid footballers in the AFL. We will be paying a big sum to Hogan - then we have Jones on a big sum and then with all the rising stars we have - we assume they will continue their progression and we have to pay to retain. Would love him - don't see how we can fit him in..
  11. italy for 3 and half weeks.
  12. Okay - I am a man with a short attention span and commitment issues. I am devoted to Game of Thrones and that is pretty much it however we are going away for almost a month over September ( I got that right...) - what series should I download and take with me ?
  13. Big statement - Unfortunately his old man has blight on his career which I do not think defined him - but otherwise Steven Stretch was a great player - good skills, fast, but could take a very good mark which I dont think will be Billy's go - that's not to say Billy will not be a good player
  14. I don't write players off as quickly as some (ok...I'm guilty of not writing off players at all when I should !). In my mind I was not sure that Billy would make it - has some pace but not lightening and not tall so marking is not one of his features. I was trying to figure out his strong suite but was struggling. I have been pleasantly surprised with his progress. His strength is he can find space and does run to good spots and when he gets the ball he is very neat by hand and foot. He won't be a contested ball beast but he goes when he it is his turn to go. I am hoping his form will continue to improve as we have the inside grunt players - we need some silk on the outside and Billy is providing that.
  15. batting two for two - i will keep on going.
  16. alright - i will keep on keeping on !
  17. Black Books was recommended to me - I have watched two episodes and havent really cracked a smile - anyone else seen and have an opposite view ? Should I persevere ?

    I think that explains a lot - probably why you barrack for the dees - you are a sucker for punishment.

    It was Tina Turner impact. I know - she is a living legend - but I will be controversial and say that I would rather have my ears and eyes pierced with sharp bamboo stakes than have to listen or look at her.

    not quite sure i would have been quite as forgiving ! there was a pile of bodies of Jon's army that you couldn't climb over and maybe Jon would have planned a little differently if he knew the Little Fingers army was just around the corner. A sorry and a kiss on the forehead wouldn't cut it for me.

    Arya too - she got to riverrun pretty damn quick

    I guess it was because Fury Road wasn't music - it was random deafening noise ( a bit like Thy art is murder )
  23. nutbean replied to Cards13's post in a topic in General Discussion
    I saw Fury Road - it was quite good. I went with my squeezes Son and two of the daughters boyfriends so it was "bro night". I came out of the theatre partially deaf ( and i know loud as i go to heap of live music). I didn't want to appear old so i said nothing. Then one by one they complained of ringing in their ears and how loud it was. It was THE loudest movie I have ever seen. (uncomfortably loud)

    I just don't get it. Got to a pub and talk your heart out but I cannot understand that if you pay to listen to music why aren't you listening. I find talking during any performance rude to the performer and rude to other patrons who are trying to listen. I have been known to politely ask people to keep quiet,

    Not only is it big noting - it is fantastic big noting - it is a gig I would love to have. How good would that be .. "So, what do you do for a living ?" - "I make long bows for GOT".
