    Preview Round 9, 2016: Hawthorn v Sydney Swans, 20 May 2016, 7.50pm @ MCG

    Chill out, it was a joke by RUNVS - fair play to him/her. To spell it out, he was referring to the Hippocratic oath historically taken by physicians (i.e. Doctors) to first do no harm

    CB Series Match 11: India vs Sri Lanka @ Hobart (Tuesday D/N)

    Great innings, but put in the context of the match (low total, low stakes), not as impressive as what we saw the other night.

    Society/Culture Fuel Prices

    Calculated with reference to the 'terminal gate price', which is the landed price of Singapore Gold (MOGAS 95). TGP numbers can be viewed publicly at any of the major petroleum suppliers (Shell etc), and the Australian Petroleum Statistics produced monthly by the Bureau of Statistics shows the...

    Religion Why do you believe in your God?

    Without wanting to further divert conversation along this tangent, I couldn't help but post the following; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sokal_affair This chap had the quite wonderful idea of cobbling together as many polysyllabic words in as syntactically offensive a manner as he could, and...

    Society/Culture India, the biggest culture clash for Australians?

    You realise that you are talking about people here? Your posts on a country that is, admittedly, dirty, polluted and corrupt consistently use language that reduces these people to mere beasts. Please stop it.

    News Showing respect for women the AFL way (Buddy-related article)

    Great footballer is Buddy, but I wouldn't be caught dead in one of the shirts included in the accompanying image. If I were to wear a shirt like that around the females I associate with, I would be pretty quickly cut down, shunned and generally ridiculed. The solution to the 'problem' that...

    News Showing respect for women the AFL way (Buddy-related article)

    http://www.abc.net.au/unleashed/44142.html I post this only because of the centrality of our Buddy to the author's contention. To save you some time, she's discussing way in which the t-shirts created by Buddy's label objectify women. Thoughts?

    Tendulkar - The Greatest Ever?

    It is ignorant remarks like this that make me reluctant to bother contending that Sachin is anything beyond a good player on this forum.

    Is Cricket 'DEAD' Thread

    The old cricketing cliche; 'pick your five best bowlers, no matter what they are'. At least the selectors have, for a change, played to the squad's strength (or what is the least of its weaknesses), rather than trying to thrust a premier cricket bowler into the glare and scrutiny of a decisive...

    Is Cricket 'DEAD' Thread

    The selectors are in the unpleasant position of, on the one hand, having to conduct a rebuild in the middle of a series that fans consider the most important. This has brought about the selection of young players into circumstances where they look decidedly average. If you did what I did and...

    Murali's top 10 batsmen

    Isn't it obvious from his post? It is because he is a 'buck toothed piece of shit'. But seriously, what a baffling post. It threads a strand of illogic between public abuse, excrement and an enlarged dentition. Baffling, and disturbing.

    Is Sachin Tendulkar the greatest sportsman ever?

    Agree. I am an unashamed Sachin fan but this is probably the most accurate historical ranking he has received in this thread so far.

    Luke Hodge

    Don't get drawn into the twisted world of this bong rips douche bag. As somebody pointed out earlier, he gives cats supporters a bad rep. Let him rip on hodge all he wants, he's just diminishing his already non-existent credibility.

    News Major announcement: Mitchell, Roughead and Franklin re-sign.

    Re: Major announcement from the club today at 10.15am? Cynic by name, unlike myself. Sadly my well of optimism has dried, and I suspect that the promise of a better effort is as good as this announcement will be, although I would love to be incorrect.

    News Mathew Stokes Stood Down Over Drug Charges

    sensitive issue, but i give him the benefit of the doubt. we shouldn't be sending people to jail and ruining their leaves simply for being a bit dumb. he had a momentary brain fade. i would bet that he has matured a lot from this traumatic experience, which will hopefully tell on the footy...

    Religion Debate: Pell vs Dan Barker

    They both delivered addressed to the festival of dangerous ideas last year. They did not directly oppose each other, but their respective speeches were the centrepieces of the saturday and the sunday sessions. I have no idea where KevinCat derived his certainty of a Pell knock-out from, since...

    Myth; Tendulkar hasn't performed against Australia

    So the umpiring question has reached a stalemate. I think that we can conclude that a good batsman will make the most of those innings where umpiring decisions go in his favour, making up for instances when he gets a roughie. This is the case for Sachin, and is probably the case for all...
