It was just his opinion...

(I think) it's a sort of rare(?) guernsey that you really want to own, but haven't come across one or haven't been able to afford it.I still don't know what this means...

9. What is your whale (footy jumper)?

Kind of, a Whale refers to something that a person wants but is almost impossible to get so much so it basically becomes an obsession (in this case a guernsey/jersey/etc.), it comes from the story Moby Dick and the character Captain Ahab's obsession in hunting down the White Whale.
An unused spare premiership jumper with no number but the premiership logo.
6. What is your favourite footy memory?
The first thing that springs to mind is round 23 this year, just a really positive mood in the air. Before that, maybe the final siren of the 2009 prelim?
12. What is the dumbest thing you ever bought?
A Line-6 guitar amp. The bastard shop keeper talked me into it.
13. Who is your favourite poster on BigFooty?
Going to have to go with Tigerland55 because I actually know him.
14. If you were a BigFooty moderator for one day, what would you do?
Give everyone a photo of my face as a badge.
The day I stopped using my Line-6 was one of the best days of my life I swear I've told you about my Tele before.. Made in America, put a Bigsby on it a couple of years ago.Round 23 was a great atmosphere, for Saints supporters anyway... until the goal review on Kozi.
Hey, I have a Line-6! I like mine.
Wise choice
I like that idea.
And you have a Tele?

That score review was a joke.
I just realised that I didn't finish my dinner party guests before I posted... Should get on that.

While we're on the topic of ignorant blather, you're the one assuming I've spent "but a handful of days" in America. I'm more than qualified to provide a counterpoint to your "info", so relax!I guess I could spout off a bunch of ignorant blather about Australia, a place I've spent but a handful of days. Nah....I'd rather get my info from someone that's been there for decades.

This was a weird game. I've become accustomed to seeing Freo lose more games live than win, and we made so many changes I wasn't surprised to be flogged. I went with a Saints supporting uni mate and it was weird to almost will on a hack like Kosi. It was definitely a good arvo for St Kilda, though.
And it was good to see about 10 blokes play their first or last game for Freo as well. Really good on the club for allowing those guys a run. Alex Forster was able to say he played one game of AFL – but he was also able to run out, on a beautiful day in Melbs, with his best mate from some shithole town in South Australia.
That's the thing you have to get used to with Ross Lyon, only ever playing young players when the outcome really just doesn't matter. I never really thought about that game from a Freo perspective, it must have been surreal.
Yeah nah that's not the point at all.
Sheridan, Neale, Crozier, Hannath had played less than 10 games and were all given about 10 games this year. Not to mention blooding about five more debutants.
There is a gulf between how he treated St Kilda's young players and how he's blooding Freo's new ones.
Let it die. That wasn't the point of my post at all, man.
I lived in Brooklyn for 6 years in the mid-2000s, felt like a pretty authentic American experience to me.You live here for a while? Please share. I'd like to know where you've been. My original comment actually came straight from an Ethiopian. He found the interior much more representative of America than New York or LA. I never really thought about it much till he said that....but I agreed with him.
It wasn't a matter of which better or worse....which is what this discussion morphed into. But if you really think the NY/LA is really how the rest of America is, then we'll agree to disagree.
It was one game in which I was really emotional, so much so I made these banners, which got alot of positive feedback.View attachment 33387 View attachment 33388
The reason I chose you was because you and Esse Cross were the first two people I saw when I started big footy. Also I'd say Crageus and Mero rank high.
