But it makes it go faster. That's just a fact and EVERYONE knows it!

My two 'second teams' playing each other. Grandad was a Melbourne fan so I have to go for them for that reason and also because they've had such a long drought and Lord knows we all understand that agony.

Should be a great game.

Doggies midfield at its best is so extraordinary. Imagine having that creativity and quality of delivery into a Max King dominated fwd line?

Well said and welcome back TB -- oops I mean DB.

IMO, I don't think there are untouchables on here. There certainly weren't in my time as a mod and I'd be surprised if there were now. Remember it's a voluntary position. For inappropriate posts to come to the attention of the mod they need to be reported. As has been previously stated by numerous ...

Didn't get enough credit here I thought. Slow start but he really started to grind out consistent performances and felt like part of the furniture by year's end.

I think he can improve next year as well.

Please let us know what their response is. I'd be very interested to hear it.

Bump.

The thing with both of you though -- and Saynta you're as guilty of it as Dud -- you both feed off of it. You can't quit each other! It's sort of endearing in a way. Like an old married couple. :) You both COULD have just placed each other on the enemies list at any time but obviously you don't want...

diplomatic but i think we all know who signed off the banning with ... bye bye almost like he enjoys his little power trip Not necessarily mate. Could have been KFT or BFUSA coz both would probably be enabled to implement the ban. More than a bit out of touch there. :roll: You’re an abrasive f*****...

I get that he's in a strong position because of his B&F but jeez 4 years at his age? Even Messi only got a two year deal at PSG.

Very glad we're not on board because it would have been another short sighted decision for me.

Recruit the youth and play them. Make our own parker.

Interesting (or not) that the ones who complain about the quality of umpires the most are also the ones that support the verbal and physical abuse of umpires by supporters and players. Because that helps attract more quality people to the job… :roll: That's a load of crap. An extremely cheap shot a...

it appears that a major portion of members want this overturned...so be it. There's little evidence of that. My guess, and that is all it is, would be that the major portion of members would be appalled at the comment that led to the ban. There is no "it was only a joke" defence. It's one...

The user 'TrueBeliever'. Long time poster.

Hi Simon. This is an open letter asking you if you would reconsider re TB's recent 'departure'? There could be an alternative way. As you know, TB is a highly valued poster on here. And has been since 1984. One of the too few remaining originals. And history, and links to history, are important, as...

3 weeks is about right. You just have to enforce in the harshest way possible the restrictions on anything physical involving umpires. It was a deliberate shoulder and a stupid, idiotic and careless act.

Also #FreeTB

If I was a GWS fan I would be absolutely livid. What a stupid, needless act. He's their talisman and they won a final now they're going to lose him for the rest of the season for something so unnecessary and futile. Why bother just shouldering an Ump why not get it over with and go into the stands a...

The first time I ever saw pokies was in Queanbeyan in 1966. The club was unreal. Carpet on the walls and ceiling even, at a time when I couldn't afford carpet for the floor. The houses 8n one of the streets I travelled down to get to that club were hovels, with broken windows and car wrecks in thei...

Barely 10 minutes in and Selwood just threw the ball out -- wasn't even CLOSE to being a handball -- and launched himself head first and superman style into a contest and gets a free for high contact.

It's just infuriating to watch.

yep the $ will be spend in someone elses pokies but yep community participation doesn't really include being parasitic on its vulnerable i wouldn't have thought Exactly. Why don't we just set up pay day loan shops that charge 10000000% interest if you're a day late while we're at it. Has to be a be...

I really like Betts for one of the same reasons I love Milney: They play/played the game with joy. Jogo Bonito. Milne is my favourite Saint of the modern era though so I'm biased. Freakish skills, consistent, creative, hard working and utterly dedicated Saint of the type that is extremely rare. He p...

We definitely should have Sharman as a nominee but it's really sad and damning for the club that we didn't have one nominee through the entire year. Sort of related to the Luke Parker discussion in another thread but why can't we be better at youth development? Melbourne with a minor premiership and...
