Just read on the Pies board that Nathan Freeman (0 games, 0 average possessions, 0 average possessions in finals) is the equal of Sam Gibson (60 games, 24 touches per game in 2014, 27 touches per game in finals) and Matt Scharenberg is better than Jamie Macmillan.

Those type of comparisons are so stupid. Especially when many of the players listed have played <5 games. Also, why he chose to compare Clinton Young and Aaron Black is baffling enough but to say the two are equal...

I'll have some of whatever drugs that guy is on please

If those make you as dumb as him, do you really want them?

Gibbo is a great runner but he isn't the most blessed footy player skill-wise.

JMac was at his best this year but sadly was cut short by injuries.

I guess the context of the comparison is important. Even if young kids have a lot of talent or expectation, they will usually get humiliated by mature and experienced players, you have to be a bit of a freak to be able to perform well against them when you are young.

That's a good point. But maybe they'll take me to an alternate reality where we won the flag this year instead of losing to those COLA flogs

Yeah i just saw the comparison the pies dude is making with their best 22 to ours... Also saw a Carlton poster telling him "He was Dreaming"

Yep. It's alright for sheilas to roll up in dresses nearly showing their snatch, but if a bloke doesn't meet the demands of the fashion police/small dick patrol at the door, you're outta here!!

Read this mate, will make you laugh for sure.

Daniel Currie>Corey Gault
Brad McKenzie>Jackson Ramsay
Ryan Bastinac>Travis Varcoe
Shaun Higgins=Brent Macaffer Lol no
Ben Jacobs=Jordan De Goey
Lachlan Hansen=Alan Toovey Lachie eats blokes like him for breakfast
Jack Ziebell>Taylor Adams
Daniel Wells=Dane Swan Swan is better, Wells has classier disposal though
Andrew Swallow<Scott Pendlebury
Ben Cunnington=Levi Greenwood We'll wait for this one, but we all know who'll be the better player
Michael Firrito>Lachlan Keeffe
Lindsay Thomas>Jamie Elliott
Leigh Adams<Alex Fasolo More so equal.
Trent Dumont<Ben Kennedy
Nick Dal Santo=Steele Sidebottom Lol no, Sidebottom has done nothing for two years development wise, Dal Santo is pure class, Sidebottom just runs and turns it over a lot.
Scott Thompson>Nathan J. Brown
Nathan Grima=Jack Frost
Shaun Atley>Tom Langdon
Sam Wright>Marley Williams
Drew Petrie<Travis Cloke Fair enough
Luke McDonald>Tim Broomhead
Todd Goldstein>Jarrod Witts
Kieran Harper=Ben Sinclair
Sam Durdin<Darcy Moore More so equal
Robbie Tarrant>Tyson Goldsack
Daniel Nielson>Jonathon Marsh
Taylor Garner<Jack Crisp
Brent Harvey>Jarryd Blair
Jarrad Waite<Ben Reid
Mason Wood>Brayden Maynard
Ed Vickers-Willis=Patrick Karnezis
Jamie Macmillan<Matt Scharenberg Who the f is Scharenberg?
Aaron Black=Clinton Young Black at least doesn't turn it over 10 times a match.
Joel Tippett=Adam Oxley Who the f is Oxley?
Majak Daw<Brodie Grundy Fair enough, but a lot closer to equal.
Kayne Turner=Tony Armstrong Who the f is Armstrong?
Aaron Mullett=Josh Thomas Who the f is Thomas?
Scott McMahon=Paul Seedsman
Sam Gibson=Nathan Freeman Da faq?
Ben Brown=Jesse White
Robin Nahas<Sam Dwyer
Braydon Preuss=Brenden Abbott
Will Fordham<Matthew Goodyear
Eric Wallace=Mason Cox
Max Warren=Michael Manteit

The rest are fair enough. I do know the Colingwood players (jokes aside) but this comparative list assessment is fairly shocking for a BF poster and one eyed.

Here's said post. (bold is me)

LBJ Vietman War.

We screwed ourselves a little with Singapore, we knew the British didn't have any faith in their defences. Vietnam, we practically invited ourselves into that conflict, all to suck up to little old America because the pom's had buggered off from Asia. Same reason we went to war in 1914, we wanted British protection from Japan and other Asian powers, so we fought we'll be loyal little buggers and fight for them.

my grandfather was in China, Burma, India (via Australia, i think he might have went through Melbourne but need to check, i know Bisbane and i think Fremantle too) in 1942-43. went to North Africa too (early 1943). was at sea when Pearl Harbor was attack (happen to be there a week before).

i need to read his war diaries (which he left me after he died because he know i was going to be the only one that would be interested in them because i like history).

Lucky to survive the war, Burma had some nasty and brutal fighting in it right to the very end. My relatives (mother's side) fought in WWI and WWII served as a recon pilot for the RAAF in North Africa. My father's side (his mother's side) my descendants fought on the German side in both wars, served as a general and was executed in a concentration camp in 1945 for the 20th of July plot.

also my great-grandfather was in WWI (one of the first americans to fight in Europe). went over the top many times (and was also gassed on Nov 7th, 9th and 11th 1918). went over the top at around 9am or 10am on Nov 11th 1918 (only God knows why the Generals wanted to go over the top that morning). he also fought along side Aussies in Europe.

In ways it was a more shocking war than the second world war in the sense of shell shock. They showed it a bit last night on the Gallpoli series last night of a few of them suffering from it. I couldn't even possibly imagine sitting their for days with constant shelling. No wonder so many were left scared physically and mentally, shaking uncontrollably.

We got slightly easier in the Second World War in that regard, but was a brutal conflict. Reading some of the stuff on the Eastern Front from Stalingrad to Berlin in 1945, that was a fight for survival there.

also working on an ice hockey game for december or february 2016 for local middle school (the special needs kids from that school). would be this

i think Monty Python put it best about Stalingrad

Battle of Stalingrad Casualties

The exact number of casualties will never be known. However, it is estimated that the German Army lost more than 750,000 men killed, missing or wounded. Archives record that the Soviet Army, by comparison, lost 478,741 men killed or missing, and 650,878 wounded.

To give you an indication of scale, consider that the US Army lost 416,800 men throughout the entire Second World War.
