Toast Warren Tredrea - Elected to the Port Board (Football discussion only)

[Duckimus Prime]

He posted that the Houston deal hadn't changed from the initial proposal when all media outlets were reporting that pick 50 had been added. They later backtracked on that.

I have no idea how he could have got something that specific correct if he didn't have an inside line. Its pretty obvious who that line is imo but I won't say it.

Jon Ralph posted that the deal hadn't changed when he tweeted that it was going through. He'd put in that tweet that pick 50 was a part of the original deal, it had just been missed in the original reporting

Sunshine assists the body in producing Vitamin 'D' which is a good thing for the immune system, etc.
But you can overdo it, and end up with skin cancer.
In moderation it's ok, like a lot of things in life.
Not sure I would stare at the sun though (well, not directly anyway), but to each their own!

I’m not. Dr or Optometrist but sunlight at sunrise wouldn’t be as damaging. The UV index in the middle of summer is usually 8:30-6:30 range.

Yes, and I wrote in here that pick 50 was in the original deal before Ralph and Tom Morris reported it.

Through the years of being a sports writer, Chewy. Have you met any jouro like a Tom Morris, Jon Ralph etc… in person and if so what are they like?

My time as a part time sports writer was writing stuff for an American based company, so I haven't really dealt with too many Aussie sports journos.

Met Barrett when I was living in Melbourne many moons ago - slippery character. Met plenty of the commentators (Healy, Mooney, Lynch, Hudson etc).

I was sitting next to Rob Waters on a flight once. I was playing football manager on my laptop. He thought it was a "real" program, and I somehow convinced him I was a data analyst for Adelaide United and I was running a bunch of simulations for upcoming A-League fixtures. He was fascinated. Not the sharpest tool in the shed but can't expect too much given he's a Collingwood supporter.

You’ve convinced a lot of people here about stuff too

People have a way of believing what they want to believe.

The lack of awareness here is breathtaking.

This thread has run off the rails, there is a thread in Black Diamond Corner if you want to discuss Warren's politics. Posts have been moved there, shutting this down for a little bit.
