    Surely the most important event is fogdog apologising to his followers?

    Good question. Let's wrap this up No one will be suspended: Hird: 1 YEAR Corcoran: 4 MONTHS Nobody senior will resign: Robson: Gone Evans: Gone The story will be forgotten in a week: (statement made 9 February 2013) Date of Punishment for Essendon: 27 August 2013

    The Australian 6/8 - Teflon Dons escape drug bans

    Settle down big boy, this thing ain't over. You're still on record as having the worst prediction made here: 1. Story has been running for 7 months! According to you it was going back into its shell in February. 2. CEO, President gone and a number of other people at the club. Your club has...

    Were Essendon conducting a Clinical Trial

    None, I would say. We're still playing Daytripper bingo, right? I am this close to yelling out "BINGO".

    How much longer can Priddis be debated?

    I'm not letting Priddis off the hook, but I've watched a few games this year where the team that is smashed through the middle wins the game. Butler, A Selwood, playing three slow talls in defence in Brown, Glass and McKenzie. That is slow

    How much longer can Priddis be debated?

    Might I suggest the half back line is as much of a problem? Very little drive is generated from there - all the top teams generate a huge amount of run from their defence. Sydney almost don't give a shit about clearances. Geelong too have effectively given up on winning the contested battle...

    Racism and thuggish behaviour at Geel v GC

    Yes, fine to bring it up, don't single out an individual for public shaming.

    Racism and thuggish behaviour at Geel v GC

    It should be passed on to the relevant authorities, not publicly broadcast as some sort of online vigilantism.

    Racism and thuggish behaviour at Geel v GC

    I would suggest this thread be removed because of its libelous nature. The person pictured has almost no recourse to challenge the accusations made.

    Preview Changes for Round 10 vs Richmond

    To varying degrees, Selwood, Embley, McGinnity and Priddis have retained their status as being in the mix for selection or holding down important roles despite their limited scope for improvement and lack of game breaking ability.

    Preview Changes for Round 10 vs Richmond

    A lot of senior players got golden passes in the last years of Mark Williams's tenure, especially those who had played in their premiership.

    Strangely, I don't think you're too far from the match committee's reasoning.

    Those ins remind me of the last years of Mark Williams at Port.

    Why is offshoring such a dirty word?

    Probably because of its implicit threat to a person's financial security.

    Fairness of the Draw

    The Roos weren't fatigued, they're just shit.

    Fairness of the Draw

    Yeah, it's not like Fremantle have massive injury concerns. You twit. What's with Sydney fans and their entitlement culture?

    Stevie J - Underated?

    If you had any doubts. All first three goals he has a direct hand in. Two are freakish displays of skill.

    Mega Thread Adam Goodes: Confirmed racial slur by fan, apology made and accepted

    The reaction to a mistake made by a child is more frightening than the mistake made by the child.

    Strangely enough, the tax on alcopops spurred a rise in cider.

    So... a guy got beheaded in front of my office today

    Why did George Galloway get a mention in this thread? Unless you wanted a flesh and blood strawman.

    Mega Thread Adam Goodes: Confirmed racial slur by fan, apology made and accepted

    Yes, the public shaming of a child by adults is a completely disproportionate response to her act. You'd think it would be settled given what all parties have said, and the statement made by Andrew Demetriou, but it seems there are a bunch of tryhards who want to bully this young girl, and...

    The future of Australian Manufacturing

    Harsh, the US is where the next big things in autos is growing - Tesla Motors and the Google X Car project. Always opportunities for Australian manufacturing to thrive, but government by and large has to get out of the way. Support can be OK, but the support in Australia has been based on old...

    Biggest choke by a team

    I remember watching it too and thinking that there was an emerging power up there. Took them a while, but some of the core of their eventual dominant side were massive in that last quarter - Voss, Hart, White, Scott.

    Biggest choke by a team

    Can I submit this game? http://stats.rleague.com/afl/stats/games/1995/021019950723.html At that point Brisbane were third last and the Hawks were half a game out of the 8. Hawks went into the last quarter 45 points up. Brisbane won by 7 points and went on to make finals.

    The future of Australian Manufacturing

    Not sure what the point of your post is, as I am not advocating bailing them out. Plenty of niches in the automotive market that Australian manufacturing could fill, however government support has been explicit in supporting generic sedans aimed at the consumer market, manufactured in a...

    The future of Australian Manufacturing

    You are right about the trend towards automation, but how much of that was the fault of successive Australian governments giving the car makers money to protect jobs? The car companies should have started the process towards full automation decades ago. However, the aim of government funding was...

    Operation: Harry Taylor

    Had taken mostly key defenders in 2006 (Brown, Mackenzie, Schofield), had lost both Cousins and Judd at the end of 2007, so the focus was on primarily on midfield. Ebert didn't quite turn out but it was a solid strategy.

    Nathan Lovett-Murray stabbed (non-life threatening)

    Surprised this kind of violence towards AFL players doesn't happen more often (it probably does, we just don't know about it). Footballers have more pull with women than the average bloke, there'd be a few aggrieved male exes out there wanting some vengeance.
