Bluey's Dad

What did she say?

We'll get him. I can feel it in my bone.

Nah. Plenty of premature conjecturators around here. It'd just be representative of our wider community! Seriously though, who DOESN'T look good in our jumper? Best in the league IMO.

My gut says no, but remember Lin Jong toured the Collingwood facilities earlier this year and then signed with the bulldogs. He could stay. I hope he doesn't though, would be a massive get for us (especially if we get him cheap).

This thread is making concentrating at work very difficult.

Well, there's the AFL's out. Jobe's suspension was imposed by WADA, not the AFL Tribunal. Jobe therefore technically was never suspended by the AFL Tribunal and thus technically can keep his medal. Sigh.

I was thinking the same thing. Figured I'd just wait until tomorrow to see the run downs club by club.

Indeed. My vomit bag is at the ready.

He'll probably be given some sort of bonus. Will likely take it in stubbies.

How was the draft order determined?

Absolutely brilliant! I imagine the last few lines would apply to a variety of AFL topics. Hilarious.

Personally I think this has more to do with players being able to 'nominate' their preferred destination than it being an AFL equalisation issue/failure. However, it might be an unanticipated by-product of free agency, as these 'nominations' have seemingly increased every year since free agency commenced.

Wow, round 2. No wonder they didn't match the offer.

It'd make things a lot clearer if coverage of movements (especially on radio) used 'Victoria' instead of 'Melbourne, the city', and just used 'Melbourne' for the FC. 'X player interested in a move to Victoria' is clear. 'X player interested in a move to Melbourne' just confuses people.

If 'welfare' means 'don't get caught', then maybe there's some merit to it! Also would be consistent with the AFL's preference of lip service on any given issue over actual action.

Episode 7 is the best one so far, and I think Episode 3 with his prison flashbacks. The best episodes seem to be the ones set in the past. Jessica Jones is far superior, I'd watch that first.

There's no way I can contribute to this topic any more than the Great Man, Brad Scott, himself. So I'm just going to post a bunch of his gifs. Down with the roof!

I hope this happens. I want to see Nasher's jiggery pokery.

And it's not even school holidays. Could you imagine if trade week coincided with them? The horror.

I have the best news. The biggest. No one has trade news like I do. Other sites have the worst news. The worst. My news is much better than their news. They're liars. It's outrageous. It's hard to believe other sites lie about trades, it's dishonest. Other sites have said that my news is incorrect. WRONG! My news is the truth, and I'll always tell you like it is. Make trade news great again.

I haven't seen Twin Peaks, but my number #1 TV show of all time is Babylon 5. JMS (the author/director/producer) planned the entire 5 season run before he began shooting the pilot, from memory I think he wrote or co-wrote every episode except 3 or 4 of them. Quite an achievement for 5 seasons of 20 or so episodes, plus 5 telemovies. The way the plot threads meet up with each other years later is astounding. Season 1 has a time travel episode, which shoots scenes from season 3. Then in season 3, you see the same episode from that point of view. There are plot threads that don't pay off until season 5. At the end of season 4, he was told the show would not be renewed, so he shot the last episode. He was then thrown a lifeline by another network, and continued onto season 5, HAVING ALREADY SHOT THE FINAL EPISODE!! If you watch the show in chronological order, you actually have to stop before the end of season 4, watch season 5, then watch the final episode of season 4 because that's actually the 'last episode'. It's only let down by 2 things - special effects (which were revolutionary at the time, but are now dated), and a few miscast actors. I was a Star Trek kid, so had actually stayed away from Babylon 5 in my teenage years. I watched it in my 20's, and I'm glad I did, the subtleties would been lost on on my younger self. There's no way I would have been able to follow the politics of the various races and governments at the age of 10 or 11. DS9's politics, although interesting, weren't nearly as deep as B5. B5 also has 2 astounding actors in Peter Jurasik and Andreas Katsulas, the latter of which is the only actor who's been talented enough to make me cry while acting through layers and layers of alien latex make-up. Andreas's character, G'Kar, goes through a character arc so extreme, and done so brilliantly, I don't think we'll ever see it done again on TV. It took an author planning ahead 5 years and one of the most talented actors I've ever seen to pull it off. Some of his speeches gave me shivers. @A F I highly recommend Jessica Jones if you get the chance. Krysten Ritter is AMAZING, as is David Tennant. Luke Cage is good, but not on the same level. Someone linked me a story the other day that internet idiots are complaining the Luke Cage (the show, not the character) is too black. It's about a black superhero who lives in Harlem, I'm not sure what people were expecting, and his comic book is rooted in the blacksploitation frenzy of the 70's.

Or Richmond's.
