Great to see one of my boys on TV celebrating the win. Two work for the club and I'm proud beyond belief of both.
They'll kill me for this post if they see it, but good show guys.

A real factor here is that Burns was not sitting anonymously in a seat with a mate, he was a guest at a Richmond function. You don't talk about Richmond players like that even as a joke. It's not criminal, but extremely discourteous. He should have apologised without reservation.

Actually I think that "Lawyers, Guns & Money" featuring Donaghue, Banks and Campbell (Stevenson) was on 3AW.
Nope. Originally on 3RRR. I was a subscriber, and I remember Ross being interviewed on the 25 Anniversary of the station (I think). It was a must listen to show back in the day.
-
That is because it is even though the co-host goes under the non-de-plume Stevenson (instead of his real name Campbell), probably because of his embarrassment of being a Hawthorn supporter.
Highly ironic that Ross started his radio career on the alternstive, leftish 3RRR with "Lawyers guns and money". That was as a funny and interesting show, but he sold out to 3AW (as I would have, to be fair).

Puts our First World problems in context. Best of luck.

I sometimes listen to the 3AW breakfast show (I've won a heap on the Rumor File over the years). Burns and Stevenson pander to their demographic - ancient rednecks. They regularly refer to "the Chinese" as the cause of multiple ills. Burn's alleged comment doesn't surprise me at all.

I've only read part of this thread because my stomach can only stand so much.
Jack Grimes is one of the gutsiest and committed players to play with the Demons for years. He will come back and be a major part in the Demons future. Some of the posts are disgraceful and ignorant and completely contrary to the way the club rates Grimes. And I have connections within the club, unlike so many flogs posting in this thread.

9 wins 13 losses
Finish: 13th
Pecentage: 85-90
60 or more points wins: 2
60 or more points losses: 0
List turnover at end of season: less than six
My assessment as well,mfornthe what it's worth. (Very little)

Thanks, Mrs Roos

My son, who works for the club (I can't say in what capacity, he would kill me) seems genuinely excited. He thinks this draft fills the gaps which have held the team back. I'm looking forward to this year far more than the past eight or nine.

I haven't read this whole thread, but outside football Robbie created a training organisation which is now the largest trainer of school-based trainees in Australia, SEDA. My daughter works for them, and knew a Robbie and his wife very well.
I've mentioned it before I think, but two of my boys work for the Demons. The whole family is devastated.

What a perfect football weekend. Collingwood, Carlton, Richmond and the new filth Essendon all losing. Bliss.

Worth at least 3. Players simply can't jump into opponents with elbow raised.

Agree. At last some rational sense. Where do these trolls like Beelzy baby and tight bottie come from?
Agree as well. And for those who advocate "fly the flag, don't take MRC crap, new Melbourne blah,blah, blah", do you really think the Tribunal will say "Oh, a Jeez, Melbourne's appealing. They must be serious. We'll overturn it"?
Fantasyland.
Hopefully Dawes will think twice before whacking somebody in the head well after the ball left the scene.
-
A fair penalty for a stupid act. For all the hysteria about bumping causing injury, this was always an accepted part of the game. What Dawes did never has been.
-
Wondered about that
Negligent
High contact
Light impact
82.5
Don't know about light impact. I think Dawes will get a week. I hope I'm wrong.

I think the shock tactic of Frawley forward and Howe back worked for a few weeks. Time to move them back in my opinion. It could have made the difference last night.

The prices went up at the beginning of the season. We had a sale where the subscriptions for 2014 were at 2013 prices. I cut and pasted the prices from last years thread and I did not change the prices. I apologise. If you would like to PM me your PayPal account name I would be happy to refund you. Let me know.
No, not at all. I probably didn't read the thread carefully. Happy to be a member at that price.

Just a minor point, earlier in this thread it said annual membership was $25. Why was it $30 when I subscribed?
-
Paid up. Only recently joined the forum, and don't log on all that often, but still enjoy it.
-
I saw my son besides Jack about four times on TV tonight. He works for the club, but tries to stay out of the spotlight. Unsuccessfully tonight.

With regard to an appeal, unless the club has compelling new evidence, do we need a further day or two's distraction with one of the most important games for years coming up?
-
Two of my boys work for the Demons. They've done it harder than any supporter. I raise a glass to you guys.

Growing? Airline?
I know those words, but that sentence makes no sense...
Growing? Airline?

Really?
Okay, perhaps not the fastest growing (I was going by memory) because they don't need to be.

It is the fourth-largest airline in the world in domestic passenger traffic and the sixth-largest in scheduled domestic passenger-kilometres flown.
GAME DAY - Round 16

Very ugly quarter, but I'd take an ugly winning quarter than a beautiful losing one.
