Return to Glory

Check mate

Yeah, I just kept noticing that he wasn't getting a gig at VFL level and wondered

Nelson Mandela?

I fear you may be wasting these points on someone who seems to be locked into a 'they're all scum' mantra

That doesn't matter to our good ol boy

I understand that you have a passion for question marks and a penchant for generalizations that portray you as an idiot of the highest order

I think you're right Biff

Scum?

Is that your expert medical opinion Dr Carrot Top?

In my small mind I have pictured him as a Jeff Garlett type build and player?

So why is he not progressing?

Boy! I don't disbelieve you but what have you seen specifically?

KC, is that a positive step for Maia and a backward one for Barry? And what can you tell us about Koo?

I do think he's making it harder for his supporters to continue to back him to get his life in order. I would hope that he does though.

It hurts a little. Dee, what I'm saying is that none of us can truly know where things are at for Liam, how much he's his own worst enemy and how much he is a victim of his circumstance. Better?

I'm reminded of the Graham Greene quote (from memory), "there's no such thing as black and white, there are only shades of grey" and it feels apt here. It's easy to make a judgement from afar in terms of where you think things are at for Liam and what occurred but almost certainly he is neither completely innocent or completely guilty. Regardless, how we react depends of our own circumstances which surely must be immensely different from his.

Ah, our very own cultural attaché Lord W.

And please can I see Taggert against the Saints. How long is it going to take? It seems like Senior selection is based purely on draft order and not on what's being shown at VFL level. Or have I missed something?

Looking at that list I'm very disappointed in Spencer's progress. There was a point where I thought he'd kick on (pardon pun) but he's really struggling.

In October of last year I tipped Lucas Cook to become a mainstay of the club. I just got the club wrong. So good call.

I'm not attempting to be a smart Alec here wyl. I just think your frustration has knocked you out of kilter. The equivalent of a pinball machine tilt.

I went on Monday and it was another very poor performance. And I will go to whatever poor performance I can. Perhaps it's a mindset thing.

As am I wyl but unlike you, I'm not taking my bat and ball and going home. To appreciate the highs you've surely got to experience the lows. 2008...big deal. That's a very small amount of time to be sooking about.

Teams win and they lose. Sometimes they lose badly over lengthy periods of time. This occurs in sport....all over the world (except in Canberra apparently) As fans we go for the ride. If you do not like it then you are a spectator and not a fan. If you never go to games because of ' a lack of value for money' that falls under the spectator realm IMO. Sorry, but your value for money comment grates a little.

At the game today
