Just get yourself ready for round one mate. This year could be some fun.

Half a mill isn't that much any more OD ,even when converted to metric. The gaming commish has integrity issues of it's own OD. Give yourself a minute to enjoy life before we spiral into the next panic cycle!

What more do you want .A knock em down brawl in court against a corporation (AFL) with billions in cashflow ? Are you a petulant bogan girlfriend that urges your bloke into fights? The outcome was not weak .We made the AFL grovel you twit . As for suing her ,what is the point again of taking on Fairfax (with Australia's richest and most litigious woman at the helm). Some battles you "lose" so the war can be won . Read the texts of Sun Tzu. You will learn something.

I must say that Don has gained my respect during the whole saga. "Some men are born to greatness and some have greatness thrust upon them" and all that . He is the John Curtain of our club. He has done a sterling job in a no nonsense manner and he keeps his mouth shut when he needs to . Seems to speak softly and carry a big Fink,..er stick .

Pffft.... It's all sewerage down the pipeline now.The deal is done and they can all go and get farked. Mark Robbo probably feels "confused and insulted"most of the time because he is a dunce and a [censored] living in complex times. Any other beatches wanna crack? I've got a special hatred building for Carlton. Brock,Flack,BP and possibly Paulo? seem to be the snitches . We've copped enough Flack. Time to give these Carlton hoes the hypocrit Blues.

Caro , don't hate the player,hate the game. and mind your language too , tigress.

Morally, it's a form of prostitution. If you look deep inside yourself.

Over there, you can never be sue of the difference eh?

Please Dazzle,don't mozz him. If the"silky outside type" becomes "soft,hesitant" and people start comparing him to Ollie Wines in year one I will freak. It will likely happen so I should prepare myself mentally. Funny watching Chris Masten the other night being just another reason why Cale will not get more than a game or two this year. Jimmy Toumpas/Ollie Wines, Jack W/Nic Nat Morton/Masten. Its a modern day slave trade of 18 year olds .Except we pay them. Some gladiators make it ,some don't. Anyway, we may get Wines as well one day, to keep Toumpas honest. Make them eat crow.

His dad was a handy darts bowler and a very,very dour lower order bat, a gravedigger before he played test cricket, and batted like one.

Don't tell me you're expecting good jokes. It's like trout fishing on a basketball court.

More of a pun really. Which should incur a severe flogging or a day in the stocks.

In the words of PJ Keating; "This is a victory for the true believers."

It's quality of idiot that counts O.D

It isunt just the grammar.

Then they sleep with the fishes.

I stole two pens today from the NAB. That'll hurt them big time.

What an excellent , balanced, factual article. Factual enough for me. Beautifully written GoodVibes.

Seems to have breathing issues maybe due to his diminishing fast twitch muscle fibre. Could be a sub-but we need a very desperate sub . We know he has got the skills ,we all love the guy for what he has done in the past. But we all know that means nothing anymore . Sentiment doesn't count at the selection table . I would love to see Flash bagging goals and tackling in the pocket again .

They cant even leak a legal dispute to the media properly .

Yep-Work Choices as they once called it . Industrial Relations. Enterprise Bargaining . That stuff . Or as Nick Reiwoldt once put it; "There is no show without Punch."

With reference to your last line ,I dont believe being a shareholders buys you the right to impinge upon the union agreement signed by the clubs ,players the AFL. Rightly or wrongly ,there are large sections of the community using drugs daily . Football players deserve the same protection of their civil rights that other unions enjoy. The three strikes policy is in line with big mining ,construction as well as army and police policies. This hard line stance of zero tolerance is boring and ineffective . Those that spout it constantly are as off the mark as "The War on Drugs" was . Test everyone in the Media first ,as I have said ,and then have the debate . There will be nobody to even turn on the cameras and microphones.

The other thread is now Whispering Jacks personal column which is fairly disappointing. We all know Caro is a dumb COAT and we should have the right to pour scorn on her shoddy log of events. 'Landers need the right to party in the cyber streets over this. I'm a little tired of the censorship going on right here in this little place ,and the lack of it at Fairfax. Range Rover has been banned for what looks like a personal vendetta. and Stuie ,whom I loathe ,was returned after one week for his sojourn into the realm of Greek Pleasure I am going out today with a couple of mates from THE AGE.One is in sport currently . I am going to give them heaps for defending Caro from my criticism of her crap work and lack of ethics. She too has lead a personal vendetta against Schwab in particular . May we please have a thread for adults only? A bar room for these old fashioned brawls . I have had some blues with Curry and Beer ,Stuie ,Ben Hur and others but I think we have all been big enough to move on. The warnings, the selective bans, the CoC referrals ,the reminders of libel laws etc are a bit much when we all write under aliases and can be considered a special interest(nearly special needs) group. Mods and stalwarts , I suggest we actually begin to enjoy our football a bit more and lighten up . We got first choice of nearly every decent young player for the last 5 years and we got away with it . Party time .

I like the tone of the Herald Suns coverage on the issue. Glenn Close is in the Age building with a bunny on the boil, flicking the light on and off , trying to ring Cam for the 452nd time. We are not even prepared to accept a fine. Good tough stance.

When you agree with him too often there is a problem.
