  1. Your post seems to be critical of Roughead. I hope that's not intended. I expect most footy supporters, whoever they support, wish Roughy well (except when his team plays theirs)
  2. It's as if you're discussing characters from a 1960's American sitcom set in World War II. Pity we don't still have Schwartz and Neitz on the list.
  3. Outstanding work. Although I had thought two of the shadows were of two girls holding up Australian flags.
  4. Or Heretier
  5. Virtually nothing in a trading sense. But I'm sure he's on good money. I suspect that knowing that Lumumba was going to retire helped the club find the salary cap space.
  6. Actually, I didn't read "agility" as code for speed, or, at least, foot speed. I thought it meant more about the ability to move himself or the ball laterally.
  7. I really hope the injury God smiling is a good sign. I'd hate think the injury God smiling is a symbol of his own malevolence.
  8. Old dee, it seems that 2017 has started in a similar way to 2016...with you continuing to avoid being optimistic at all costs! I suspect I'm the yang to your yin.
  9. Nowadays the standards are so low that an inarticulate buffoon can tweet his inner voice in half sentences, without any pause for reflection, and become the leader of the free world.
  10. I don't actually have a problem with a "money first" attitude. If that's what is wanted, I would have thought promoting meeting the players as the priority would result in the sale of more merchandise anyway. (But don't take this or my previous comment too seriously.)
  11. I like the implied importance. Selling merchandise is seemingly given priority over meeting the players.
  12. Not to mention a stop and start gameplan and standard of performance which made everyone - except the opposition - look slow.
  13. Of course, there is an alternative. Maybe she loves and supports her husband.
  14. Agree. But I'd like to add Nathan Jones, too. He has played with distinction through the bad times and never dropped his head.
  15. I know what you mean, but are these two sentences counter-intuitive? Oxymorons? Logical fallacies? Whatever the right term, they do seem a bit contradictory.
  16. This is wonderful commentary Waynewussell. Much appreciated.
  17. Or make you believe you can walk over hot coals.
  18. Have a look at the photos of Grimes in the sequence in this thread. He had an underdeveloped physical body. Have a look at his calves, for example. While I'm no expert in physical development, I would say we failed to develop his body properly for the demands of 21st century AFL football. If he'd been better developed, perhaps his skills may have improved.
  19. BB, you're our most colourful poster on this topic!
  20. Pity you couldn't find room for the number 1729 in your maths treatise. (And your arithmetic is wrong. 2001 x 74/666 X 3 = 667!) I still love Demonland, though.
  21. How about "biochemist" Shane Charter? Or "compounding pharmacist" Alavi?
  22. This is why I like Demonland. I love all the MFC stuff, but then you learn things. Like 666 in Roman numerals is actually all the numerals less than 1000 in descending order. And then a bit of parallel research tells me that 666 is also the sum of the numbers from 1 to 36 added together. What's not to like about Demonland?
  23. Not much opportunity for payback.
