Don't give a rats ring what we pay her . I'm delighted the guy has involved his whole life into our little basket case of a footy club.

Letting it Happen is probably at the core of meditation and related buddhist based religions. Are you a Carl Jung fan mate? Some fascinating studies of intuition,synchronicity and of course,the unconscious mind. Unfortunately Melbourne has suffered a collective negativity as a club and supporter base. Roos doesn't really trust negative energy which is doing us all the world of good!

Must say dee-luded and I are in agreement here Saty. We can all see that Carroll was an idiot and the courts will punish him. The discussion has become more "Why?" It's the same with Jurrah thread , and the C Brown thread Nobody here condones belting randoms in the street . people can see NC has an issue from this behaviour(I think his career ended because he belted Ben Holland). Even he would know(I hope) he has issues. If he cant see it then unfortunately he will do time in Her Majesties ,and so should he. There are no excuses for the guy but if he begins to learn there is hope.

Gawnski, can attest to similar states at the crease(never for long enough). Sometime a batsman can try to pre-empt "the zone" and come unstuck. Long time sportsman are often gamblers ,risk takers in general . I think the loss of that intuitive knowledge of "where the ball will be" is what we call "form" When you are out of form you guess and when you are in it you know. I think if we were batting together our first mid pitch conference might be; "No quick singles" "Agreed-Not ever"

They stopped beating the Kids with sticks and whips. BBO was er,,,,,,removed to Romsey parish and discipline went downhill.

Don't give em any oxygen bing.

Vietnam is actually one of the fastest growing economies in the world and although still a shytehole by our standards,it's rapidly developing into more of a western shytehole ,i.e functional. I slag off bali but I've never actually been there-i have mates that say it is beautiful in parts but the aussies have turned alot of it into a cesspit.

Sorry to hear that Left Field! Hope you are away from the rabble!!! (If Possible)

Not for long.

Yeeees MMMMMMM..... I support the Melbourne Club,MMMMMMMMMM. The problem is discipline Tony ,DISCIPLINE! Do you hear me?

Very Funny Indeed To quote the youth "LOLLED".

She's lazy and I'm thinking of retiring her. Anyway-shes far too educated for my liking. Heirs and Graces.

It's fairly common-which is why I jumped to that conclusion. Thank you Nasher for posting that. There was a show on ABC last week-more than 20per cent of soldiers will struggle with booze,depression,violence etc upon return to Australia. They are coming back from Afghanistan mentally ruined.Somalia,Iraq Bosnia etc is no different. Many will sucide-some will damage their families for years before they get help. It's a shame the Vets aren't better resourced. Hogans Heros-The only answer I can think of is that Redgum was playing in the Carroll household. "Only 19" and "I've been to Bali too". Just a guess.

Strauss ,Blease,Jetta,Evans-all of them could be termed "list cloggers" due to this scenario. We can only hope they can deliver in the middle and end of their careers and repay the clubs faith in their ability.

Did Marcia Hines get her kit off in the live show back then? That is one musical i would buy tickets for! Thought that was early 70s.

I thought Guru Bob might make a comeback.

Send him a bill for legal counsel. 15 minutes at Saturday night rates.

I said could be.. Anyway-I'm not knocking the Armed Services. Never meant to. I apologise for the assumption. my point has been lost.

An assumption sure. A bit like the Campbell Brown thread. Again,it's not a knock ,but could be a valid starting point as to why he might want to knock out 3 strangers with one arm in Chapel St . if you and your dad are well adjusted ,happy and functional ,good luck to you-many vets and their families aren't due to PTSD and related symptoms.

verbal testimony ,first hand witnesses ,diaries etc. The fact that a paper trail was destroyed is also a pointer to their guilt.

It means that his father may have had violent outbursts,drinking problems and or depression and passed these traits on to his son. This is not a knock on Vietnam Vets .

i like the Ross Lyon attitude of "anywhere,anytime'. May take years before we get bums on seats again, but thats up to how well we play.

BGS is the softest ,weakest football school in that comp. Ever. Xavier is usually the best as they have the most boys, a very blokey culture,country boarders etc. I'm not keen on a Brighton lead revival -FFS-unless it's social climbing were are discussing.

Mental case. I remember hearing his father was a Vietnam vet so it's not a great shock. Living in Bali wouldn't help.

It's disappointing that we haven't seen Rihannas Labia come out and make a statement about this. If she stands behind Brown on this then I refuse to look at her speeches again.
