Return to Glory

I know you're a [censored]. That's something isn't it?

STN, don't rush to apologize there or pander. He's a know all.

Monocular, I am guesstimating, yes. But my hunch is that someone has rolled and he was ridiculed by the club at the time. Time will tell.

WJ, if you ever get the chance have a read of Nick Davies' 'Flat Earth News'. It was Davies who really broke the UK Phone Hacking scandal. But I digress.

Great post WJ. Very little journalism goes beyond the superficial and, as we witness with our major metros, journalists simply take a position and stick with it. You only have to look at The Australian to get a sense of how our news is presented along ideological lines.

Like everyone else i do not know how this will play out. However, I can't help but think that, at some point in time, Kyle Riemers will be a central cog in ASADA's case. Only one domino needs to fall here. It's not beyond James Turd also to go that extra mile to save his own skin. H

Good to see you're still making friends Machsy

Along the same lines, you would think James Hird would make comment in support of the players.

Why the hell is the new AFL CEO not commenting...at all. Surely, as the head of the code, he would be making a comment even if it be about due process blah blah. I'm declaring him [censored] weak.

I recommend Some Kind of Monster. One of the great docos on a band (Metallica) that has lost the plot and they bring in performance coach Phil Towie fwiw

Given the AFL is paying their legal costs before the case then goes to the AFL tribunal, I am skeptical as to whether any action will be taken at all. I wonder if Ahmed Saad had his legal costs covered when he brazenly sculled an energy drink at a seven eleven. He did drink it off site after all.

I actually don't think we were that bad. We controlled large chunks of the play at times but didn't enter the 50 anywhere as well as we could have. Salem was disappointing and it's for precisely that reason that I'd play him again. Dunn was great but someone needs to remind Dawesy that he needs to put his hands out in front. Viney will learn but I thought there were times where he was Parker like in his endeavour.

Same Demon Ox. It's an age thing or perhaps a glass half empty outlook. Go Dees.

This is one of those games where I get incredibly nervous for the boys. Hoping for an ultra competitive display today.

You mean this Sandor Earl? - ' On the 2nd of June 2014, Sandor's charges of the use of peptides was dropped by ASADA.[17][18]'

Damn.

I didn't know this. Full credit to Pederson for such a terrific turnaround.

Sue, my gut feel is that we are being sold a pup. Hopefully I'm wrong but I suspect I'm not.

Was it Kate Lundy who gave the "we'll catch you" speech? The only poor bastard who got caught was Ahmed Saad whose crime was to choose the wrong energy drink in a seven eleven fridge. Meanwhile, James Hird is studying in France courtesy of the AFL and despite admissions from Essendon players, no action has been taken against the setting up of an off site injecting room to inject prohibitive substances. Nothing will come of this. No, my apologies, in order to ensure nothing comes of it, Asada will be found to be compromised, which they probably are.

Farcical. The Nuremberg trials were quicker than this. No joking.

He is a prominent ex young lib who, after failing to secure the safe seat of Kooyong, ventured into football journalism. Wiki

Young bloke who has flicked up but it old be nice if he wasn't subject to the cult of humiliation that the media appears to love at times. Family would be shattered.

Sad day for fans of Napoleon Dynamite

Just beret wearing blokes muttering "I wanna paint, sculpt, write, create. I just wanna be me"

I must update Daisy. Now Rye. Oh yeah, Mentone is a real hotspot.
