  1. I have a "level of interest" in finding out where all my missing socks go to. It’s either the washing machine is a black hole or they’ve started a secret society somewhere. But that is where my interest ends.
  2. Could get pretty hot for spots in the twos I reckon. Fritta might have to spend most of his time in the ones I recon.
  3. Nah - different OP.
  4. Cut down Rangy @Ethan Tremblay?
  5. 'The Orange People.' Haven''t heard that before @leave it to deever. Is that yours? I hung out at the ashram in Pune back in the day.
  6. If he really wants to dodge a bullet - change girlfriends.
  7. Stop calling @Satyriconhome Shirley @I'va Worn Smith.
  8. Ken Hinkley would be an outstanding Head of Football at the Deez. He brings not only a wealth of experience but also a deep understanding of the cultural and structural foundations necessary for sustained success. His tenure at Alberton with Port Adelaide is a testament to his ability to resurrect a struggling club. When Hinkley took over, Port Adelaide was perceived as a basket case, both financially and on-field. Under his leadership, the club became relevant again, not just in South Australia but across the broader Australian football landscape. He revitalised the team, instilling a sense of belief and (mostly) competitive spirit that transformed Port Adelaide into a consistent force in the AFL. Hinkley's leadership is defined by his humanity and decency, qualities that have earned him respect across the entire AFL fraternity. His genuine care for players and staff, coupled with his straightforward and honest communication style, fosters a positive and inclusive environment. These attributes are critical in a head of football role, where building and maintaining relationships are as important as strategic decisions. Furthermore, Hinkley's reputation as a respected and influential figure in the AFL would be invaluable to the Demons. His ability to navigate complex challenges, manage diverse personalities, and maintain high standards would ensure that Melbourne reclaims its status as powerhouse in the competition. Hinkley's proven track record of fostering talent and driving cultural change aligns perfectly with, what should be, Melbourne's aspirations. He is an ideal candidate to lead the football department and guide the Demons to continued success.
  9. I'm actually amazed that many posters thank Kate for delivering the flag. There were 100,000 people (at least) that had a hand in the flag. I have no doubt that she was (at least) part of the problem at the Dees.
  10. You clearly never played against the East Malvern Rams in E grade did you @layzie?
  11. anyone know his nic-name?
  12. Maybe Stephen Smith has said 'I'm in - and here are my conditions . . . '

  14. What position does Scott play?
  15. With a name like that @Loose Men Everywhere, they would totally belong in the read and blue and would be a top 10 pick.
  16. 100 percent all of the above. And you are right @BoBo, the above is brief. But does attempt to deal with the phenomena at a high level. To support the above observations, research confirms that: about 1 percent of the general population are psychopathic this figure rises to 3.9 percent in the workplace population most of the psychopaths in the workplace are in senior management positions. The AFL employs around 2000 people. That means about three (3) in every club on average (allowing a percentage at head office as well). If we were to include the media, the figures would zoom up exponentially I would have thought.
  17. Top post @dino rover. There is a significant body of research supporting the Dunning-Kruger effect, which describes how individuals with low ability in a particular domain often overestimate their competence. Recent studies delve deeper into this phenomenon, suggesting that the most dangerous person in any organisation may be the one who is both incompetent and unaware of their incompetence. This combination can lead to overconfidence, poor decision-making, and an inability to recognize or correct errors, potentially causing significant harm to the organisation and its stakeholders.
  18. I believe we need a review I have reviewed the Club over the last three weeks I recommend a review.
  19. How did the women's side go?
  20. I was the assistant manager of Coles New World in Croyden back in the '80s @hardtack.
  21. Tom relieves himself way too often for my liking.
  22. I recon we should all kid ourselves - even just for one night @Demons11. It's been an intense fortnight.
  23. Canberra—just like this thread. Endless debates that go absolutely nowhere!
  24. Actually I just realised there's nothing to worry about @KLV. I've just heard a rumor that the Bears are after JVR and putting up that big game player Hipwood as the trade bait.
