The Flux Report: The patient panda Round. (Whatever that means.)

[AeonFlux]

The patient Panda always wins in the end on most occassions.

Anyway. After this week’s food poisoning scare, we asked one of the afflicted Saintas’ players that question that every Saints’ fan has been wanting to know.

What does panda taste like???

Apparently, it tastes a lot like platypus.








This week's analysis Committee:
- Catherine. (Has resigned herself to what’s happening. Still brought takeaway. Panda. Mmmm. Not bad. At least according to Aaron, as he ate it all.)
- Saxons. (RosKilda’s favourite poster/s. And he'd never go to Shanghai. )
- BornAgainNorwegianTed12. (Still everyone’s favourite Norwegian internet troll and emerging young fiction writer.

I'm a troll.

- BFTNorway - Simon the Troll Hunter.


- Parquetrysainter. (Still just like Ted).
- king9. (Girl power!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!)
- Owen.

Missing:
- Rodger. <swoon> Come back Rodger! We can get Kinky for you too.
- Aaron. (Food poisoning after eating all the takeaway panda.)
- Vaas Montenegro. (Still refusing to return until he gets to ‘trigger’ a certain contract.)
- Mr Cuddly Duck. (Should be posting back here, not posting over on Big Floppy. Come home Huggie.)
- Sainter K. (Where are you?)
- Holly Valance. (A sensation in the day. We miss you Holly.)
- Jaffa Boy/Straw Man/Concern Troll. (Fighting with himself/himselves. )
- guitarman4. (The word is that you have mail.)
- Loris. (Come back Loris! We’ve brought Kinky back for you. And here’s one to start with.)

I realised, not for the first time, that women and cats had a lot in common. For one thing, neither of them had a particularly well-developed sense of humour. For another, they both went through life governed only by things that either comforted or intrigued them. They both liked to be stoked and cuddled and they both could pounce when you least expected it. On the whole, I preferred cats to women because cats seldom if ever used the word ‘relationship’.

And the Kinkster also has some thoughts about <the definite article deleted by Mods> Cho and his amazing forward 50 entry plan for AFL and world domination.
viewtopic.php?f=2&t=96666&p=1796356#p1796356
(Language warning kiddies.
Best not to let your parents watch, or you'll be all night explaining it all to them. Plus stuff like how the world isn't flat, and two World Wars plus the Great Depression does not qualify as being 'good old days'. )





Assessment:

...He was guarded in what he said about Richo but suggested he is good at bringing the kids thru, but that's where his skills end. He cant and hasn't improved the senior team, and couldn't believe our forward entry plans haven't changed in the 6 years he has been there.

Would also have to disagree somewhat. In the 6 years <the definite article deleted by Mods> Cho has been in charge, there has been a change to our forward entry plan. We now bomb it long, and preferably to the advantage of their waiting defenders.

This is a clear, if unavoidable, tweak to the original Kick It To Rooey Regardless plan.

We're a pretty decent side when you disregard the efficiency and disposal up forward.

And for those who may be wondering, here's the rest of (the definite article deleted by Mods> Cho's game plan







Post of the week:

do you not see that footy is politics
in the Age of Anger ?

the people are being played
... thats politics

Speaking of which/shameless segue:
A huge shout out to the 575 true Australian top blokes and top sheilas who recently voted for The Flux Party.
You know who you are.
We know who you are.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flux_(political_party)

F^^k yeah!

More posts of the week:

No one gets to sh1t on the Saints except those who love them.

F^^k yeah!

Comeback of the week. Hell, comeback of the year to date:

So Judd says we are over performing with all our injuries

But ......

Dud says we are underperforming with all our injuries

Who to believe?

Judd also said he didn’t eye gouge Campbell Brown...

Choose carefully

Revealed!:
All these whispers. Revealed at last. Where Ted gets his dirt. Or more accurately, ‘why’ he does................

I don't have baths

F^^k.

Stuff to like:
- The Marshall!!!
- Paddy didn't get concussed again. (We think.............?)
- The way the boys immediately settled into executing our game plan on foreign soil.




Stuff to not like:
- The way the boys quickly settled into executing our game plan on foreign soil.
- Why Paddy didn't (and can't) get concussed again.
- The way the boys quickly settled into executing our game plan on foreign soil.
- Gears’ injury.
- The way the boys quickly settled into executing our game plan on foreign soil.

F^^k.

Mid Season Daft:
Wanted Matty Parker's mate, the bloke who got him to take footy seriously, Marlion Pickett. For romance. For the bromance.

However, resisting the urge to go with yet another play on this bloke’s name (Jack), gotta say, we like the (long term) look of Jack Mayo very much. How much? We even bookmarked him before Ted could.

Now that’s high Praise indeed.








Stuff to still hate, so we've repeated that hate :

Material Uncertainty Related to Going Concern

We draw attention to Note 1(b) in the financial statements, which indicates that, as at 31 October 2018, the Group’s current liabilities exceeded its current assets by $10,287,306. As stated in Note 1(b), these events or conditions, along with other matters as set forth in Note 1(b), indicate that a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.

At this rate, it’ll be a close race to see who goes (literally) under water first. St Kilda or the Adani Carmichael coal mine.





Did he leave us on good terms/ can we call in any favours?:

This may help?

Stuff to ponder/ what does that even mean??? :

Sign up Ratten now for a 3 year deal.

This is confusing.

Weren’t we all told that <the definite article deleted by Mods, and hopefully soon by the Saints> Cho had (finally) taken a back seat, handed things over to the adults, and Ratten was now the brains behind our season????

If so, why would we appoint Ratten??????? ???

Different Choach, same shysen. Einstein would not approve.

Besides, the Carlscum will probably beat us to him. (Those bastards do bloody well owe us one!!!! )





New coach:
Being realistic, the obtainable choice (in alphabetical order) is from Harvey, Hayes, Mitchell.
Beverage (maybe, maybe not).
A big no to the likes of Ratten, Brad Kray, Voss, McCarthy, Worstfold, Tird.

Piss off duds. Give it up.

Assistants:
Whoever the new bloke wants (other than the blokes ruled out just above, and other than Jade 'the spade' Rawlings),
plus Sumich (word is, the real brains behind the E-girlies’ success under Worstfold),
Playfair,
McQualter,
Lazar (specialist 'whatever it takes' coach - shape up, Saudi embassy out ),
Bereton (specialist forward coach, and assistant 'whatever it takes' coach),
Slater (specialist whatever he bloody wants coach),
Stephen King or Lazar (specialist ruck coach).





List management 101:
Step 1 – Identify the players who are or will be top liners, who make us a better team even when we’re struggling, and would get a game at any club. (That won’t take long.) Top liners can however also be good role players - but they have to be damn good at playing that role!!!!
Step 2- Identify the players who whilst not making us a better team, would be much better players in a strong team. The ‘best’ of these we keep.

Everyone else – we have two trading periods (regardless of stoooopid contract extensions) to make them.....goneski!!!!!!!! (Cue Lazar and his Saudi embassy mates. )

Who makes it into which category would be the subject for another report.

This is very doable. Despite past mistakes, we can now finally have confidence in our recruiters under Chris Libratore and Mr T.






Report on The Ted Report:
No report from Ted again this week. He’s still out celebrating our great win in Shanghai. (We still haven’t got the heart to tell him...)







Opposition player to bag:
David Kochhead! We get <the definite article deleted by Mods> Cho! And he made us pay for him!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!

Piss off dud. Give it up.

And still never forgetting Jamie 'seagull' Cripps!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!
We’re still maintaining the rage!!!!!! Traitor!!!!!!!! !!!!!

Down hill skier. Soft. Has pace and is a good shot at goal but easily replaced
Looks good in a team with a strong midfield
Loves bruise free footy.

Next week at Linton Lodger Stadium:
Crickets. (We have the bye.)

The bye? F^^k NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!! !!!!!

INS:
Options we're considering/not considering.................
- Coffield & Joyce – give ‘em another run.
- Hanners’ – He’ll fit right in.

The 28-year-old was prolific in the first half, amassing 19 disposals and kicking a behind.
https://www.afl.com.au/news/2019-06-02/ ... vfl-return

Langlands. (We still hear ya Saynta. )

F^^k yeah!

- Ed Logan must play!!!!!!!!
The one Saint who is not only in career best form, but this week took that form to a whole new level yet again.

Meanwhile back in Aus...

King kicked 3.3.

It's a tad early, but get hem in for the Suns game in 2 weeks time. If not the Suns, then the week after. We need a lift big time.

Yep. At 220cm and 96kgs, the bloke is ready to play with the big boys.

F^^k!

OUTski:
- Gears (injured).
- <the definite article deleted by Mods> choaching brainiacs!!!!!! !!!!
- Most of the others on bloody notice!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!

Stiff as a badger’s ass (whatever that means? ):
- Most of the blokes who end up getting overlooked for selection considering the ‘performance’ we witnessed in Shanghai.



Thoughts, Rodger? <swoon>

Thoughts, Saintsationalists?


- Aeon.

[Linton Lodger]

Who is the mysterious Vaas Montenegro? Sounds like a man of action.

[guitars4]

Pop goes the weasel I'm voting Flux next time unless we can get Kinky to immigrate to Oz .

[WellardSaint]

Pandas eat bamboo.

If we go up to Townsville and "bamboozle" the Suns with renewed vigour and aggression,
all the naysayers will have to "eat" their words.

Tell me I'm wrong, I dare ya
