I'd consider attending one of his concerts as long as I don't have to pay for the ticket - in other words, he would provide the entertainment on a pro bono basis.

To be fair, most of their respectable players weren't playing most of the time.
It's not very fun being fair though, so a lost opportunity there
if the didnt play any songs they've recorded since 'rattle and hum', and Bono didn't act all preachy I would happily pay my hard earned and go along.. anything since then, I wouldn't cross the road to see them
That would be pro-bonno.
For pro-bono the best you got was Sonny singing I got you babe without cher.
Luckily he's no longer with us.

Or as a Christmas favor on a fishing boat …. Pro-bonbon-o
Number 2 on the list. Outstanding achievement Tom. Shows you how good state league football is when Tom gets recognized so highly.Player 2 - Tom Jonas

Tom Jonas was a Port Adelaide co-captain who then took the reins himself as was the sole captain, including in 2023. This is remarkable as he was somehow an AFL captain but not in his side's 22. It is one of the many reasons Port supporters love Ken Hinkley.
Playing as an undersized tall defender, Jonas often came up short against taller opponents which set the scene perfectly for Port come finals time. This year he was overtaken by so many teammates he was unofficially known as 'caravan'. He managed to play 13 games yet despite being captain he was dropped enough times to co-write Taylor Swift's next album. When he did play AFL he was about at effective as a waterproof tampon which, according to a quick poll of AFL fans on social media, is intrinsically linked to to the most common descriptions of David Koch.
Averaging less than 8 disposals and 2 clangers in 2023, Tom set standards so low that Brent Harvey asked if he was single. He climbed to a whopping 25th at Port Adelaide this year for average contested marks(!)
Eventually he was dropped for finals to add respectability to Port's inevitable losses.
Jonas would retire at the end of the season on 215 games which in fairness is an outstanding effort for a local boy taken as a rookie.
Fun fact: Jonas' debut game was in 2011, a 165 point loss against Hawthorn. I assume Port fans wanted Ken sacked after that game in the mistaken belief he is human and not a scientific hybrid creature made of cockroach, vegemite and discarded vials of Keith Richards' DNA.
Tom, kudos on getting everything out of yourself during your career. Welcome to the Bottom 50 for 2023.

Take him to a party in Lygon St and he becomes bonboniere
It's the equivalent of Vogon poerty
Gina Rinehart – Our Future
Deemed “the world’s worst poem,” this anti-mining tax campaign was penned by Australia’s very own Gina Rinehart in 2012 as a response to the introduction of Mineral Resources Rent

I'm still laughing at all the Boomers and DHs (not mutually exclusive I know) who stuck up for her on socials during and after the Opals 'crisis'

What’s the hate for Bono?
Sure, his music isn’t everybody’s cup of tea, but you don’t see too many people say “Gee, I’m really glad Bach / Mozart / Gershwin/ Buddy Holly / Michael Jackson is dead”?
Well, Whacko Jacko maybe...

How Bono became the most hated singer in alternative rock
Everyone likes a preachy global superstar, right? Here are the reasons why people will not give U2's Bono the love he craves.

How can he possibly be more hated than Gary Glitter or Justin Bieber ?

I am glad Bach, Mozart and Gershwin are dead. No-one should live that long.

During his shows Bono would take time to talk about starvation in Africa.
Bono: "Every time I click my fingers, another African child dies"
Punter in front row: "Well stop doing it then, you sick campaigner"

Player 1 * BID MATCHED *
Provisional Pick 1 - Andrew Gaff
Pictured: Gaff has been 'off-target' for quite some time now
Likes: Outside ball
Hates: Boxing
Victorian Andrew Gaff is one of the West Coast's greatest ever wingman. Pick 4 in the woeful 2010 AFL draft, Gaff would famously belt teenager Andrew Brayshaw in 2018 and subsequently miss their Premiership with suspension.
Gaff is one of the most highly paid players at West Coast, on a reported $5.5m contract over 6 years or, in Perth property market terms, an 'entry level' investment. It's a declining asset though - he's been reducing in dividends since signing that contract, and this year he hit the tipping point.
Although he is still getting a bit of the ball (20 touches), it's well down on his usual output and certainly well below what you paid for. You don't pay for a high-class exotic lady of the night only for Gina Rinehart to rock up and perform an interpretive dance to a Justin Bieber B-Side, but that is pretty much Gaff's 2023 season. Dropped to the 'activated substitute' in round 17, something Pete Evans probably does with almonds, Gaff disappointed more West Australians this year than the annual GST revenue distribution decision from the Federal Government.
A 31 year old supremely well paid underperformer is a pretty uncomfortable place to be in a side that is about to start their rebuild. Especially a bloke whom (ignoring the stats) has lost power in his legs to run quite as hard as he did, kick the ball with the same penetration, and has always had the tackle presence of, well, your average West Coast team of 2023.
He's contracted for next year too in a move West Coast supporters have been heard to remark "why?", "oh dear" and "anyone got sauce?".
Fun fact: at the end of 2018 Gaff turned down a 7 year, $8 million deal to sign with North Melbourne meaning he effectively gave up a flag and a spoon in the same season.
Andrew, good luck next year and welcome to the Bottom 50 for 2023.

My guess is Mofra finished his list a few weeks ago and then realised he'd forgotten McKay.
