How does one even get a perma ban on an internet forum?

Posting a pic of your old fella would do it

 

[LoBu]

Why are we talking about Milera? He has zero relevance for this future. Sadly, he's done.
Might get back to good SANFL level..........might.
But that's it.

Milera has anther shot of AFL in him, contracted for another 12 months gives him plenty of time to regain form and press for a senior spot.

Nicks loves him as Nicks loves anyone who is highly skilled, so I think he'll come back.

But as for playing and winning finals, who knows of the body can hold up that long in a season or until that happens.

Also just as keeping Tex this year got us Cumming and then Peatling, Milera can get us NWM next year, there's a connection there.

 

[MatthewB]

I was always conflicted when he had a big innings

just 1 or 2 claps and that was it

[jenny61_99]

lol. You reckon he’s a w***er. You’ll forget all of that, so he goes from a w***er to a not a w***er because of who he plays for.

Do you not get how idiotic that is? It’s basis of your opinions and why I ride you, they aren’t actually your opinions and given you’re an adult that’s staggering. It also extends to your opinions on here, why would anyone take them seriously and what makes you think you’re in a position to criticise anyone else’s who doesn’t blindly follow the club? At least our opinions are based on our own thoughts based on the information in front of us, not based on blind club loyalty which just makes you a sheep.

This is when you go... he's a w***er, but he's OUR w***er.

 

[Crow_68]

Careful. Its looking like we will be entering the offseason with only two draft picks - #4 and Welsh.

If we lose ROB we go into season 2025 with only Strachan as a ruckman. Thats not a good spot to be in.

ROB is fine. Each year I like him more (Because his salary is less of the cap).

Well he becomes an UFA at the end of 2025. With the limited supply of ruckman around the league, we are either going to have to pay the man or find another experienced ruck elsewhere.

If we draft a development ruck this year or next, not a chance they will be ready before 2027/28.

 

[GreyCrow]

Also just as keeping Tex this year got us Cumming and then Peatling, Milera can get us NWM next year, there's a connection there.

' come on over Cuz the dumb ****s give you contract after contract and you dont even have to play '

All Milera needs is one game to let us have all of his kids in the future. Make him a sub for one game if he's showing he's not up to it anymore.

 

[spenze]

This is when you go... he's a w***er, but he's OUR w***er.

Yep, like if Papley came to play for us, he's a ****ing dickhead but he's our ****ing dickhead

 

[jenny61_99]

Geez I'd struggle with that...

 

[Mostyn]

This is when you go... he's a w***er, but he's OUR w***er.

I have to laugh at those posters here who think they're the Internet Police.

I don't give a crap about your feelings on my opinions.

I couldn't care less if you think some people here are too optimistic, or others are hypocritical.

It's a game.

It doesn't need people thinking they somehow need to be a BigFooty Cop and policing what people think.

If you don't rate someone's opinions, then mute them.

As for me, I'm perfectly happy with the fact that I'd cheer David Warner when he played for Australia, but I probably would have booed him if he'd opened the batting for the Poms. From my point of view, once he'd pulled on the green and gold - or the tricolours - then he'd become a better person.

 

[GreyCrow]

Geez I'd struggle with that...

Zorko

 

[Mostyn]

Yep, like if Papley came to play for us, he's a ****ing dickhead but he's our ****ing dickhead

I know I'd absolutely love Zorko if he was coming off the HBF for the Crows.

 

[Cromulant]

Someone said Pedlar has to sit in the 2s and get his body right before thinking of reclaiming a spot in the As - I feel Milera is in a similar position.

I dont think 6 weeks in the SANFL would be a good guide to his readiness for AFL

I want to see Pedlar rip a midfield apart in the 2s before I see him at AFL level. I reckon he played sore in the back half of the year so his output was pretty low.

Full pre season is absolutely required

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

I was always conflicted when he had a big innings

Even the relief when he finally retired was tempered by the knowledge he'll now be parked in the commentary box for the next 40 years

The expression "youse" will become commonplace this summer

Pretty sure he was carrying an injury shortly after being dropped, up until his season ended with another shoulder reco

 

[Crow till I die]

Relevant to this thread somewhat as its related to trades, but I got an infraction once for saying that Hartlett was worth only worth a 2nd rounder on the Main Board.

Yeah because that was absolute trolling saying he was worth a 2nd rounder..because everyone knew he was only worth a 3rd rounder

 

[Crow till I die]

I’ve got a bit more imagination than that

Well was it confusing on the field when someone kicked it on the belly of the ball and the call came to catch the floater...you were thinking hang on, we are playing footy not hanging at the norwood pie cart

 

[cleanhands]

Yeh but I was thinking about the pie cart

 

[Crow till I die]

Yeh but I was thinking about the pie cart

Did you try and eat the footy?

 

[cleanhands]

Did you try and eat the footy?

If I could get it I probably would have tried

 

[Amacca 23]

Got to laugh the port clowns think they will keep houston and get luko with 2nd rounders or get 13 and and still get luko for peanuts

On SM-G996B using BigFooty.com mobile app

 

[Crow till I die]

Norwood oval is tiny, surely it must have floated your way.

But i digress, in this day and age forget the floater, its now mcdonalds being kicked around out there
