Tigerturbulance - Clod is clearly parading his toff credentials.
Nice to see the old Easter Island Statue has developed some moves.

There’s certainly going to be a lot of Dutch-ruddering going on.
Strong case is strong.

Ophidian Old Boys pass
To be fair, that was the first thing I said when I joined the bid too.

I thought I made a well reasoned argument.
The conclusion is clear, the committee is either corrupt or incompetent, most likely both.

You did. You were robbed, right in front of me. Dare I say it, even more so than Strigs. Both horrid omissions.

Excellent starting squad.
Excellent bid IMO
Great start.
Did you guys consider the Vampires moniker?

He likes to bring that up as often as Ian Chappell likes to harp back to some test match in the 70's

That's a hell of a lot of effort for when the Committee just automatically rejects it...

Quality bid, great squad.
Love the private school idea, mainly because that's basically my life lol

Good to see you are following the school of "I know nothing about this topic, so I need to express my opinion...."

Can't recall melting out here. All I've done is post stats in the Committee Thread and agree Strigs should have been named. As you'll find on multiple occasions i also said Grey Crow was a worthy nominee and like PMBangers said, one could have gone in a pocket or on the bench.
The true melt was you when Goose didn't make it. But I guess if you'd put more time and effort into that instead of steadfastly trying to tell representatives why their players were "not even in a contest" for a spot, perhaps he would have made it.
Agree or disagree, I was able to argue that Strigs deserved to make it, without talking down other players. The most I went was that Strigs is more deserving of the ruck spot, but would not have been unhappy for GreyCrow (or Muddie) to be included. The way I saw it, my job was to try and promote the Dragons players as to why they deserved to make it, not why everyone else's players were not worthy. Perhaps doing a little more of the former for the Gumbies, and a little less of the latter would have helped.
I've never had an issue with you personally, and I never once made it personal out here. Any frustrations I've had with the process I've kept in-house. I certainly felt like you made it more personal in this decision making process, but each to their own.
At the end of the day, it's a fantasy football team, I'm not going to lose sleep over it

I've already lost sleep over it.
My non-selection was a tragedy.
