Enough with the pics Toady. Moderation in everything (as opposed to the moderators)

Biff the problem is he lets go with one hand and then quickly grips with the other. A change is as good as a holiday.

If you've just come onto this thread today, you've missed a lot, but maybe not much at all....

Not sure whether Jesse will stay or go, but I think this decision is in his best interest long term. Assuming he has another cracker year, the asking price and contract length will be unheard of. IMO if he re-signs with us at the end of the year it will be $1mill+ pa. If he goes, Freo better offer something decent.

Cat 'o nine tales please

But three times a lady...

Nah, give bbo a call. He'll sort out your alcohol under-consumption Earl

Demonland has been pleasant of late without the resident moral compass arguing and belittling others.

Woosha hypotheticals are irrelevant to the MFC. I trust Roos to answer media questions (that all coaches are required to do) using his considerable media experience and footy knowledge. I've said my peace and will leave you Chris to look for the negative in what appeared to be a positive media story.

I haven't read the Hun article that you originally mentioned due to paywall, but you wrote that Roos told Jake to take a break from footy to recharge. Also that Roos said in the article Jake should ramp up his training mid year to be ready for September return. If he was saying that to a reporter, it's clearly not giving Jake instruction on training during the banned period. We need to take a breath, not read too much between the lines, stop jumping at shadows

Do you think Roos is stupid enough that he wouldn't know exactly where to draw the line? Don't you think Melksham would have been given a detailed training regime before the ban was announced, regardless of length? We are a club run by adults (for once) who know what they are doing. Roos, Goodwin and Jackson would be all over this, far more than us Demonland posters. I trust them to make informed decisions, as they have the runs on the board.

Think that's a bit of a long bow Chris. If he's not at the club and not training with the others or by an employee of the club, it's highly unlikely that a conversation about taking a break from footy before getting back into it would be in breach of the code.

Today I was interested to read that "Cardinal George Pell" is an anagram of "pierced anaI egg roll". Just lifting the standards of TSBS for a little while.

Multiple toilets seem to be all the rage over there Earl. They are certainly full of [censored].

Now if ever there was a hard act to follow....

Good to see you back Biff. How was rehab? Did you say no, no, no?

Of course, I meant for a reasonable (read: rip off) fee dc

Good point Farty. They are the leeches of the AFL.

I'd perhaps add 'playing alongside his closest mates' as another reason. Money and winning flags with your mates is what they all want.

Pineapple, you should befriend dc. He has a blue rinse PhD. And he's got a good record at the 19th hole.

"Young" is a comparative term dc. Can be used in many different contexts

I guess there's no sick leave in the blue rinse gigalo industry dc

C'mon now dc. Don't play the innocent wallflower on here. Or have you been in fine health all your working life?

Do the toads have flatulnce up that way Uncle Mango?
