Optimism is a virtue...

Re: Spida A Swan Nice visual.

I love his tattoos...

If you took the "sport" out of your rant and replaced it with "politics" your statements are still valid. I find this quite depressing. :(

I didn't realise there was another "Kick a dog while he's down" thread. Perhaps this one should be merged with the "Lucky win" thread.

Should this thread be renamed "The place for disrespectful, ungratious winners"? Just a bunch of unsavoury people around here.

That was brilliant. I do think it's a shame that a number of commentators seem to point at that goal as an example of how good Hunter is. Any one could've kicked that goal. Not everyone could set it up.

You're nasty!

That all looks reasonable. The main thing that annoyed me about the umps in the beginning of the year was the business of coming down hard on taking out the marking players arms. They were all over that unless Hall was trying to take a mark. 'twas frustrating. As you can imagine, Leo down...

I think every game is a challenge for LRT. :p LRT's best work in the GF last year was when the Swans had the ball. Great positioning, great decisions and effective disposal. That's LRT's fault, not Gardiner's. Hence, why I think it's a disrespectful statement. Your statement was akin...

The ones that don't follow the black and white team.

I think that's a bit disrespectful.:thumbsd:

IMO It's no worse than any of the other "reputable" papers in this country, but it's a lot better that any tabloid.

Agreed. :thumbsu:

Apparently. They decided one kick from the ball is considered in play. You or I may disagree with that, but it's the definition they decided on before Hall punched Matt.

I think you'll find that no one said that.

The one where he punched McGuire in the guts and was handed some points using the objective system the AFL uses to evaluate the severity of reportable offences? :confused:

What does it instruct us?

Sure. That bit didn't confuse me, as that's what they do. The bit that confused me was the way he describes how the Swans operate in general and his take on some of the issues that he raised. If it's supposed to be a bit of fun then fair enough. But if it's supposed to be serious then it...

It sounds that way, doesn't it?

I'm confused. Was he taking the mickey?

It sounded to me like they were saying "We think it's a good idea that we enforce all of the rules."

Looks good!

Now that would be a boring grand final!

Yes.

A good old 'yes' 'no' argument is a bit dull. None of his statements convey a conclusion. You may have thought he was inferring a conclusion, which he may have been, but without any evidence but his statements it could not be accurately stated that this was the case. Only he can be aware of...

And wasn't that good to watch. Freo really got Sydney of their game for a while there. Great quarter.

"It's just unfortunate for the people in the general footy word that don't like this style of play that they do it by playing a style that can be simplistically, but incorrectly, noted as suiting a completely different sport, which no doubt other sides will try and replicate in the future."...

Given the first statment I've quoted of yours implies that the umpires are dishonest when umpiring Sydney games in order to favour Sydney and you have no evidence of such a thing I'm confused how you can be asking others to stick to the facts. Despite the hypocrisy in your post I agree that...

Sydney fall into both of those categories, so I presume you're talking about some other team?
