Satyriconhome

The 2007-2013 era I interpret as history, perhaps everybody else should

Lot's of words saying what exactly, you don't agree with me, that's five you could have used MFC is footy, I support the Club, I have explained that before, you support the incumbents.........do you really think I accepted a lot of what was said, what was said didn't matter.....in the end other people make the calls about a footy club Same as in life, just not a supporter of people who go through life using the "dog ate my homework" excuse.......we have all been there done that to some extent and don't use it What is decency, whose definition, certainly not the 'decency' peddled on programs such as Today Tonight or a Current Affair which is where a lot of Australia's fine citizens seem to get there opinions, although they flip flop each day depending on what the editors of the above think will rate more Told everybody on here before, if you don't like what I type, then don't read it, nobody is holding a gun to your head, and don't answer, it is a so called demoncracy and I am entitled to my own opinions I skip quite a few posters on here, not really interested in anything they have got to say And as I have said before do not need any posters approval to feel good or otherwise about myself I am more impressed on this topic than some of the more usual footy ones as there has been a vigorous debate with only one or two small descents in personal abuse, a refreshing change.

Military history written by who? Please I've lived the 50's onwards, I don't need to study it, and I have had many conversations with a myriad of participants as well, I don't need to go to university, a degree is not a piece of paper that states "you are right in everything", far from it I am actually offering an opinion on what I have encountered with the more vocal vets, similar to the story you are proferring about the vet you met, Same as you are allowed to, but if you put it out there, it can be questioned Ruxton did not leave Darwin by the way, it is a matter of public record B52 facts, like a lot of US involvement, depends on your definition of facts I touch type by the way, one interesting skill the military taught me, so I need both hands whilst I am doing it The old dog at my homework excuse, you will find a lot of posters have actually struggled at some time in their life, but dug there way out of it, hence the lack of empathy for those who seek to blame anybody but themselves

I didn't say he was a liar, I said he had a choice As long as you believe the four year 'secret' bombing that the US admitted to is and was the end of it, that's up to you The CIA was and is active in the Indo China Peninsula, from the early 50's to now So was the Khmer, although under different names

Last line is perfect Old Dee, gold

Sorry forgot how far we lean to the left on here...... the Vietnamese had fought for their freedom, the last thing they wanted was the Khmer Rouge taking over, they were a spent force by then anyway, being carpet bombed by B52's will do that to you......try reading again By the way the tunnel rats were all volunteers, nobody forced them, I know because I have known a couple

What, you have only just realised this, Carroll unfortunately, and not knowing the full circumstances, is the face of modern Australia.....and the post as well

You mean somebody with normal character traits and reactions if they are out drinking, I know a few dozen blokes who do this Think you have watched too many films The only problem I have with a lot of the Vietnam Vets especially the 'vocal' ones, is that most of them never got out of Saigon or off the airbase Remember Bruce Ruxton?.....never left Darwin If you want to question involvement try studying it properly, if the 'West" hadn't acted, China would today consist of both Koreas, Malaysia and Singapore, Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos And yes I have a right to say that, 15 years in the military

Great report, can't get to Casey and back for work, sounds very unViney like, unless like last year he has had the brakes put on him, tends to over train, saw him pulled up quite a few times last year Pederson is unfairly criticised on here, never shirks at training, one of the 'body judges' decided he was overweight and that was it

rpfc, I don't have to put words into people's mouths, some wonderful stuff comes out of it's own accord Unless you are stood next to me when I speak to players you have no idea what I am saying, so you can keep your advice to yourself And who made you sheriff, don't remember voting for you All through this, at lest Nev knew he had one supporter in his corner, and he thanked me for it

Thanks hardtack, I ignore the rest of the posting police......they post something and immediately forget it......perhaps I should quantify going forward......such as in my opinion there are one or two posters who post self righteous twaddle I am so glad that none of us on here have anything whatsover to do with list management

There was a game last year, can't remember which, he had 8 tackles and one free against?

From what I can gather talking to the players, apart from the key position (if that still exists), I think Roos has already got around to every players and told them what role he expects them to fill, and that it is up to them whether that is at MFC or Casey.......Roh Bail 'imtimated', ie I have to learn to read berween the lines, I get bits, in this case I asked him why he was training with the forwards, and he said his role would be as a forward using his gut running.....so I interpreted that as defensive forward

Roos, at his presser at Fed Sq the other day, Blease's name was brought up, and he said, paraphrase "we have to get him fit", (seems to be doing nothing but running at training)

Kent has a problem with his patella and is not running at the moment, Roos wants Blease to get fit (his words not mine) Byrnes and Tapscott are in the rehab group , Roh Bail is in full training and has been since day 1, so maybe he is ahead at the moment

I spoke to him at training last week and raised the concussion issue, he has completed an exhaustive battery of tests and he is fine with it, has been given the "all clear", interpret that whatever way you wamt to Copped a whack straight on the chin during the session, did the joke about having a head people like.....to etc Training with the forwards, assume defensive forward is the go, going with some of the rebounding defenders, he can run all day, so assume attempting to hurt going the other way as well He is not that poor a kick, another one of those perpetuating mythis on here

Whatever, as long as you are always right, the top 10 this year as in every year was know from way out.....

Hey lay off the moustache!, I told him it was Ron Jeremyesque, now there's a name to Google if you don't already know He has bulked up considerably, think the realisation has hit them all that Roos likes BIG

How do you think that happens, journalists, AFL media etc all talk to the recruiters, that's how we knew we were either going with Salem or Freeman at 9 this year, same as last year if Toumpas was there we had to take him at 4, that's were everybody rated him

Oh dear, sorry, didn't realise pedantry was so rampant on here, I must remember that

That is Magner's 'problem', his phone is probably already ringing, he is a very good VFL player, he just couldn't quite bridge the gap....have watched him at both levels quite a lot

...I know I can get 'close' to the players but that might be a bit too much haha.......I am still always surprised when I do get next to them to actually see the build on some.......Michie and Tyson' s photos do not lie, they are solid, Vince is 'smaller' than I thought, reminded me of Aaron Davey's build, Evans, Kent, Clisby and Barry are obviously starting to build the AFL body, whatever that is, of the newbies JKH has a really nice compact buid

Sorry, Mr Self Righteous, what are saying, I was saying that a lot of posters on here bemoaned the fact that we had delisted Magner, they are still saying it, never even discussed him except with him, never talk to players about other players......although most know I wear 39 and were telling me not to 'worry'

He is bigger across the shoulders, would expect that with the weight training, haven't had chance to ask him yet, very young still as well, assume he is still growing

EVERYBODY had Toumpas in the top 5, that's how he was 'hyped' into there Barry is doing what he should be doing at training, head down bum up.....working hard Above everything else, including the article yesterday, Vince is a professional with a few pre seasons under his belt, he is doing exactly what is required this year I would like to see his 2009 standard impact us this year
