Crompton's the man

History would suggest that you will do as well with picks 4 - 7 as 1&2 anyway - if not better.

Would like to disagree with you but statistical analysis does not allow this luxury

Apparently, Brazil wants to bring criminal charges against its players. It's high time we did the same. For mine incarceration and hard labour are the only answers. And floggings BBO.

Clearly you're against capital punishment.

Why?

Actually if rearrange the letters of Jonestown you get ewsjonton which is eerily close to Essendon. Freakin you out huh ?

Actually the very same thing had occurred to me also ( except that ewsjonton for me begins with E )

And his first name is Jim also - truth is stranger than fiction, huh ?

He was working with Essendon and now he is working with the players. In my view the players are being poorly advised if they accept that. they and are risking their livelihoods (and potentially their health) by sticking to that stinking club. Its beyond me.

We've seen it before

Look up "Jonestown "

whats the crowd look like?

A bunch of very well-rounded human beings

Since when did litigation lawyers actually care about the truth, rather than the result?

Surely the truth is who shouts the loudest ?

Way to go

Frankly, I am surprised that AHPRA haven't had a good look at Reid's involvement in this sorry affair.

Agree

Astonishing

Maybe they wait for someone to lodge a complaint?

Oops

Sorry about that ......

We'll no doubt this be off topic, but according to tonight's ABC news : following last month's decision by Workcover ( which I think has been recently magically rebadged) to investigate the Essendon Football Club for possible breaches of workplace safety associated with its injectable supplements program ( which decision I had been ignorant of), said Workplace Safety organisation has now received a request to investigate every other Victorian club apart from Essendon for possible workplace safety breaches. ( No, this is not an April 1 joke ).

Workcover is currently considering this request.

Does anyone have an idea about who might have forwarded this suggestion to Workcover?

Reading the bomber forums is so good it should be illegal.

My favourite comment: "WHO THE **** IS DEAN KENT!!!!!!!!!"

He certainly knows who he is now.

Some of this stuff is priceless:

Here's one:

"Is Hirdy back yet?"

or this:

"Another decade of mediocrity coming up"

Some of it's pretty amusing too

Thanks for the link

Makes some truly great reflective reading and helps you appreciate your neighbour too

Great thanks Compton, that narrows down the options.

Just keeping you pointed in the right direction

And while we're talking, hasn't Lynden Dunn's progress this year been astonishing!

He's playing with confidence and authority, and when you're watching the replay of the last quarter, see how he guarded the goal from the kick that would have regained the lead for that other team

We'll done Lynden !!

I am back out there in Collingwood, but what does Scarlett J look like?

Wears a dress

Let me be the first

Never in doubt

Essendonwould be way in front but for their inaccuracy

They are being inaccurate because their minds are affected by drugs

who is saying that the ASADA act is predicated on the concept of cooperation with the various sports governing authorities

ASADA " has firm legal grounds " to engage in joint legal investigations

Reading the HS in a coffee shop just now (preferring not to subsidise them) they are unashamedly seeking to manipulate public opinion in favour of EFC

Players were " duped"

ASADA chief on 774 AM atm

I read all of that including the article in today's Age entitled "Essendon should let go and admit error of its ways " but in spite of these things all I can say is : facts ceased to make any impression long ago and Essendon's position WILL NOT CHANGE no matter what

Is Zaharakis the only refusenik?

And was it needle phobia, not pharmacologophobia ?

Champagne?

It's on the list

And I'm only 200 m from a DM's

Might get expansive

But what about the poor players?

Oh, the Humanity!

Totally know where you're coming from

I am crying into my Chardonnay or sav blanc or whatever the hell it is

Well a conspiracy theorist might think so.

But apparently the 2 1/2 hour dinner was a private meeting, so no policy matters would have been discussed.

Mr. Abbott simply wanted to meet " a distinguished Australian".

Although I must confess I am unaware that he is an Australian.

Interesting to see that Tony has dropped into see Rupert today, no doubt to receive further orders. Look out ABC, Fairfax and anti siphoning laws, we are in for a big News Limited ride. AfL, Olympics,

Just setting the timetable for closing down ABC News 24

At least he closed down the local car industry.

That should save some carbon emissions

And getting poor people to stop going to the doctor has a sound economic basis.

If they die sooner rather than later they will stop being a drain on the public purse.And they would have contributed to greenhouse gas emissions. They're not stupid these people. This will help us reduce emissions

We have top men on the case
