Not Worth A Thread - Random Bulldog Discussion - Part 2

[Bulldog rick]

Thanks BR, we’ve clearly underestimated his genius.

That's OK dogwatch, genius and madness often gets confused.

That's OK dogwatch, genius and madness often gets confused.

They can be two sides of the same coin!

Your raising the topic of madness leads me to a popular aphorism (often attributed to Einstein):

The definition of madness is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result.​

Sounds a bit like a genius we know?

Will Hayes

Multiple players found. Use birthday to differentiate. eg [PLAYERCARD="23/11/1962"]Joe Smith[/PLAYERCARD]

has joined his brothers in partnership training at Lindsay Park for the new racing season.

Great racing bloodlines.

Good on him. It's nice that he always had the fallback option thanks to nepotism, but he genuinely earned his spot on two different AFL lists through hard work and talent, which already has him deserving infinitely more respect than other nepo babies like Tom Browne

Yes, he gave AFL his best shot but “nepotism”? He’s worked in the family business most of his life, in some capacity. Had to stop riding track work as a condition of his AFL contracts. I have no doubt he’s had a financial interest and practical experience in the business all along.

Quick question please...

As usual I'm having trouble with Ticketmaster on every device. Assuming Saturday's game is not a sellout, can I just roll up to Mars Stadium and buy a general admission ticket at the gate? thx

Do you know what nepotism means? He's been given an opportunity in the industry thanks to his family connections. It doesn't mean he isn't good at what he does

 

[Dogs_R_Us]

It’s rather derogatory, don’t you think?

nepotism
/ˈnɛpətɪz(ə)m/

noun
“Favoritism granted to relatives or close friends, without regard to their merit.”

I just tried and could buy one online.

 

[torq]

I just tried and could buy one online.

I'll try again later but I'd still like to know if you can buy a ticket on the spot. Never been to Eureka/Mars Stadium before.

Normally yes. I would suggest this will be far from a sell out.

Up in the Rat today and took a photo of this player playing for North Ballarat in the local paper to show to old footy mates “check out the size of this unit! Whoa”

He referred to this when interviewed on "inside mike"
Good luck to the young man

Can confirm that is Crameri. BIG boy now. Macca is his coach

Superstar. In this world of hyperbole, anyone who has a half decent game is suddenly a superstar. BS I say. There might be an AA squad of stars for example but superstars ... all of them.

A superstar is more than a star. Unusually gifted and influential, even for a star.

We are fortunate to have one. But how many others are there? 11 in total for mine and rarely would there ever be more than that and often less.

In no particular order

Current

• The Bont
• Nic Daicos
• Max Gawn
• Zac Butters
• Connor Rozee
• Petracca
• Taylor (GWS)
• Stewart (Cats)
• Darcy Moore
• Charlie Cameron
• Oliver

Recently retired (last 12 months) or fading Supernovas currently playing

• Martin
• Pendelbury (although he looked anything but fading on Saturday)
• Buddy
• Selwood
• Dangerfield

Future but not yet superstars

• Marra
• JHF

The thought of a GWS player being good mustn’t compute with me as I don’t know who Taylor is

Sam Taylor - key defender.

If you didn't know who he was maybe I have to rethink.

Hmmm .... nah .... he makes it. We'll get to see a bit of him in the next few weeks but hopefully not too much of him.

Others up for consideration would be gulden, Allan, Dawson, Miller, Neale and Dunkley.
Could also add Sheezel and Ashcroft to futures

Gulden can definitely be added to the future but not quite yet....close though. Not familiar with Allan and Dawson. Dunkley no, Neale ... I thought about him, possibly, but just lacks an x factor I feel outside of his extraction capacity. The other two I considered were Bolton at Richmond and Greene at GWS.

Edit. Ah Miller at the Suns. Excellent but not quite a superstar. Same with Neale I guess.......IMO

 

[stevieg1969]

Sidebottom should be on the superstar list, also. He has been a great footballer for a very long time.

 

[bresker]

In a tenuous Bulldogs link , Martin Flanagan was the guest on Conversations on Radio National today . Martin wrote the wonderful ‘A Wink from the Universe ‘ about our 2016 success .

This conversation isn’t about football , it’s about the horrors of Catholic boarding school life in Tassie in the 60s. He’s a beautiful storyteller even if it’s a hard listen at times :

This is exactly how I picture Scragcity.
