You might end up in the doghouse if you do that.

Another really weird thing is some people are now arguing that according to the letter of his executive order Trump is the first female President of the USA. I’m getting desperately low on popcorn.

Brew. But I don’t expect our no-tagging policy to change.

Wrong bard. It’s the Scots bard’s birthday in half an hour. He may or may not have said: “Here’s tae us, whaur’s like us, damned few and they’re all dead” 🥃🥃

Lmith is feeling a bit overlooked.

McNeil played some very good football late last year. I wasn’t much of a fan but we have to believe our eyes not our expectations. If he continues with last year’s form he will surprise a few. And will be a regular in the best 22.

Right that does it. I’m never buying another bottle of Brown Brothers again.

Spotted this quote today. Seemed topical so I thought I'd share it. A THOUGHT FOR TODAY: So long as men worship the Caesars and Napoleons, Caesars and Napoleons will duly rise and make them miserable. -Aldous Huxley, novelist (26 Jul 1894-1963)

I take it you're too young to have seen Gary Dempsey then?

I haven't heard Fauci described as a psychopath before. Why do you say he is? What are his alleged crimes against humanity? I know he has been vilified by Trump because he had the nerve to give professional opinion and advice that the President didn't want to hear (that makes him a rare beast...

Wouldn't mind if you could end the war in Ukraine in 24 hours while you're at it.

Read the whole post. Or at least the whole paragraph. "if we can't discuss our differences of opinion without reverting to abuse then it's time to lock the thread" I'm 100% with you on thoughtful conversation. But abuse is not thoughtful conversation.

The most powerful forces in the game today continue to act in commercial interests, not in the purest interests of the game. They will spin it otherwise but we know it's all about the dollar. There's a lot to be said for amateur sports.

Seems clear enough for our purposes.

I know I don't have to read this thread, and these days I generally do skip over a lot of posts in it, but here's my view FWIW... Both sides need to cut the name calling. Especially so if you are visitor on this board. It's too easy to find ways to abuse and denigrate each other if we have...

Oh dear. Every single club has missed out on drafting players who turned out to be champions. Not once but many times. What a meaningless exercise.

Sack Bevo.

Suffered a nasty kick to the shins down at Torquay.

Impressive debut post. Welcome!

Mellifluous bass voice. Has a better microphone presence than the Bont. Not sure how scripted that was but he was very fluent and easy to listen to. Could have a great future in the media when his footy's over.

We're often too quick on the trigger. People here had written off Doc before the start of 2024. JJ may still have a bit to offer but he's not the future. His pace and agility in traffic have always been his points of difference. The club's clear pivot toward more pace in 2024 has probably...

Mrs dw and I met Wayniac and his wife as we four emerged from Spotless Stadium triumphant after the 2016 PF. Had a good yarn with them on the train to Campbelltown as they prepared for the long drive back to Geelong. Didn’t always agree with wayniac but enjoyed his posts. No doubting his...

Agree with most of that. Both sides - all sides - waste time hoping to avoid that extra over before the end of a session. ICC/BCCI just lets it happen. Then the commentators moan that we don't get anywhere near 90 overs a day any more. We, the paying public, are the ones that suffer. They...

Can we all chip in for her to book another overseas holiday in late September?

Government commissioned independent report finds the proposed Macquarie Point stadium is showing “hallmarks of mismanagement” on several fronts. In particular the cost to the Tasmanian Government is estimated to be more than double the $375m they said they would limit their spending to...

Mid. Forward. Whichever it is I don't mind ... as long as he's dominant.

Oh-oh. The AFL's Sweep-it-under-the-rug Integrity Unit has become involved. Nothing to see here folks.

Happy New Year to all Doggies Supporters. '24 is out the door. Big things await in '25 :trophy: :france:

“Low picks” is always ambiguous to my mind. To me it means low value - ie picks in the third or fourth round. Or even later. But it could also mean a first round pick to other people (as Stefoid obviously intended above). “Low” in that sense means a low pick number (eg 1-10) not a low value...

News Corp and Telstra may be selling their stake in Foxtel. Yet to be approved by the regulator but seems likely to go through in the next 12 months. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2024-12-23/foxtel-sold-to-billionaire-backed-british-sports-network-dazn/104758178 With Murdoch and News having only...
