  1. Tonight is like the good ol' Tuesday nights at Harrison House and Neil (the Hangman) Busse. Great dayz. Bang, bang, bang meant something different back then. Dippa, 3 weeks (BANG), Mr Keenan, 2 weeks (BANG), and as for you Mr. Rhys-Jones, 6 weeks and $250 fine (BANG BANG BANG).
  2. @WalkingCivilWar certainly is underselling. Makes her a very good buy IMHO. Blue-chip.
  3. If a person is not talented enough to be a novelist, not smart enough to be a lawyer, and his hands are to shaky to perform operations, he becomes a journalist. Norman Mailer
  4. Dunstall comes from the joint that has condoned on field violence for 60 years. And I cannot say anything more is case I say something more.
  5. Wasn't the knee doing the jerking.
  6. I wonder what the facts actually reveal??? I suspect most the the paranoia on 'Land is baloney.
  7. Neil 'Hangman' Busse - or before your time? Busse may have only presided over senior cases.
  8. Does Nat Edwards' over pronunciation of every word get on anyone else's nerves?
  9. I've calculated that if we win our next 18, we win the flag. Just say'in.
  10. There are many silly, corrupt, or evil practices that would cease to exist if the participants did not generally comply with certain putative norms. Put simply, the MFC, and therefore its members, of which there are many on 'Land, are complicit in supporting this oppressive, systematic racket, dressed up as a judicial system. This is not about Michael Christian or any other individual, but insidious, systematic injustice, that transcends individual actors. Sooner or later, someone or something, must take a stand to root out systematic oppression within the whole system. It is clear the emperor has no clothes, for the AFL judicial system has acquired both a power and personality of its own, operating in a closed system, accountable only to itself. What is needed is an outside force that takes a drastic action upon the interlocking forces that composes the system. If successful, this usually results in the movement of the entire system. One person or organisation can change a system, which in turn changes other systems, forming a network of cascading changes unimaginable from the point of the first contemplative action. Numerous such actions have been taken against the previous incarnation of the VFL, and the modern AFL, that exposed disorder, hypocrisy, highlighted political and moral U-turns, and punctured bombastic posturing. Maybe the time has come to expose the emperor again and the institutionalisation of trickery at all levels.
  11. 1. Dunstall is a banana bender by birth 2. Are Dunstall and Berm on the AFL payroll in any capacity?
  12. did we get thrashed by 10 goals?
  13. Anderson: second overall draft pick, in his fourth season, 80 games. Rowell: Number one draft pick, fourth season, 46 games, 12 Brownlow votes in his first three senior games before doing his shoulder and not playing again in his deput season.
  14. He kicked to the right in round 12, second quarter, 28 minute mark, 2019. What is your problem @old dee?
  15. Glen Iris Primary School - 1972.
  16. Tell me you're joking. Amazing.
  17. But nothing will ever surpass Jack Dyer's immortal commentary insight: “Bamblett made a great debut last week, and an even better one today.”
  18. wow . . . where did you go to school @Lucifers Hero?
  19. Good points @YesitwasaWin4theAges. Footy isn't that complicated. Good footballers make a good coach, great footballers make a great coach. Truth is, Carltank haven't got that many good footballers, let alone great ones. Like numerous other clubs, WCE, Ninethmond and Flogmantle spring to mind, they are paying the wrong players the wrong money. Serves them right. Most clubs have an inability to accurately assess the quality of their list. Been going on for 100 years. I once heard a very respected senior coach say he didn't get a new job at another club because he told the selection panel that their listed sucked and he'd have to undertake a renovation. That mob is still nowhere near it. One of the reasons I respect Goody (and I used to be a critic), after 2019 he saw the list needed serious renovation and pruned hard and fast. Spring and summer arrived very quickly after that treatment.
  20. Boofheads Inc.
  21. Sheeze - Buckley had a premiership in the bag with 90 seconds on the clock. Average (ish) side at his disposal. Recon he can coach. Odds on to be at GCS I recon - and deliver a finals appearance.
  22. Will the Filth still be paying his salary . . . just wondering out loud?
