    If we were posting on a site related to 1: Public Health 2: Economics 3: Employment, that post would mean more than it does. This however is a FOOTBALL site, so most people would expect to read footy related stuff here regardless of how insignificant it is to the outside world.. Hope that helps.
  3. Read through the thread. It's ALWAYS the lefties that drag politics into a thread. Every single time. I would suggest that anyone expressing the views you have would not have any overseas travel planned. Yeah, that would surely be the case. ?

    Far easier to simply remove the Warriors from the NRL comp and continue with the remaining teams.

    Oh, and f*&k the eagles. No "boo factory" to con the umpires into a 4 to 1 free kick count. I'm putting money on us to clean up in round 1.
  6. Ding is drinking again. Sad.
  7. Need a superstar of the game. We currently have ZERO players who can be called that, but several who i believe are capable of rising to that level. We have a great list age profile. Just takes several of your best to have career best seasons at the same time to elevate this list to flag capable, and a superstar to put it over the top in those clinch moments A good run with injuries, and a dose of long overdue luck.

    Imagine the same video, but using actual game footage of Max busting packs open. Hmmm, anyway, it's a minor point I guess.
  9. He attacks the ball with intent. That was what impressed me about him early on. But his inability to one-grab his marks is becoming a worry.
  10. Power forwards make the world go 'round. Welcome Tex. May you kick many more for us.
  11. The lid is a bit loose Dee Zephyr
  12. Have to say I like your call on Zanker. Haven't watched the full games, but her highlights have been fantastic. Mithen will add some nice pace and desperation to the side and I always enjoy watching Newman Cant remember the name, but the running with the ball punch forward that resulted in a goal?. Gutsy. Reiwoldt courage gutsy. Great start to the AFLW season. May it continue.
  13. Can't wait for the inevitable cries for "equal pay" from the girls. You know it is just around the corner. Not sure how long the crowds will keep turning up when sides are scoring 1 goal for an entire game. The attitude and application from the girls is fantastic, but the skills have a long long way to go. Will be very interesting to see what the proposed increase for the girls will be. I'm betting it will be out of kilter with the money that AFLW brings into the game, but there are the intangibles such as new people brought into the game that are very hard to put a number on. I am a fan of the Dees womens side, but would not bat an eyelid is AFLW fell flat on its face either. It is probably here to stay, so I guess everyone needs to accepts that. Meh.
  14. If we can get through a full season without a reference to English Flogball, it will mean we had a good season. That's enough for me.
  15. I'd sign Oliver to a 7yr deal in a heartbeat. The power really is with the players right now. Good luck to him. Hope they lose De Goey to a crap club.

    Jurrah ate him for breakfast in the softness stakes. Lumumbas biggest problem was his softness between the ears. A huge dose of self importance can do that to a bloke.
  17. R.I.P Broady, and thoughts with the Broadbridge family. Was developing into a quite good half back. Very courageous and determined. @ding and I have paid our respects at his resting place on Ko Phi Phi Don. Do you still have the pics Dingus? Fondly remembered and sadly missed.
  18. Where did you get that from AF? I'm up in Queensland working in the mines, and we are dealing with accommodation problems brought about by new and very large coal mines opening. Just got a huge pay increase because they are worried about staff retention. That does not happen when mining is in trouble. Simply wishing it to be true does not make it so.
  19. but "feelings" and "morals"
  20. West Coast. Would love to see the Home/Away breakdown. Those Perth umpires deserve a bullet.
  21. Wouldn't be a training thread without saty whining about negativity. I appreciate the news from every other track watcher. It's always better to hear about the good and the bad. Keeps expectations real.
  22. Who was the nerd who deleted my post, and why? Would people honestly take offence to that, when others can joke in every thread about wanking themselves stupid? Double standards dude.

    Incorrect. "Growing the game" means "growing my bonus" We really can't whinge about Gil too much. The big nerd saved us from the tanking thingy.
  24. What does a robo-debt have to do with choosing cigarettes over your kids shoes? Nonsensical. Like I said, I don't care about his parenting skills, only his footy. But if it helps him to give his all, that's wonderful.
  25. His footy is the only thing I am interested in. Not his parenting skills.
