I am currently selecting my "wish list" for 2016, and have the following books in there so far. My aim is to finish 10-20 books this year.
The below is my list so far....
My Grandmother asked me to tell you that she's sorry - Fredrick Backman
Calamity (Reckoners #3) - Brandon Sanderson
Bands...
We all have pet players who we think will explode on the afl stage, with another pre season in them.
Post the ones you think will really step up from their 2015 performance. And importantly, what milestone you are predicting. Just saying the said player will be a star doesn't cut it. You...
Alright guys, this is something that I am actually doing and making money on. So, this is no fluke.
I want to share it with other people, as people can benefit from it.
Will say, that like any other saving idea - it's always better to check with a financial advisor. I am not one, and this is...
After round 12's bye, assuming we don't have any more LTI's - we will have to pick just 1 rookie out of these:-
Schneider
Saad
Sinclair
Payne
Holmes
---
Which one should it be? The way rookies are playing the seniors, it would be one of Schneider or Sinclair.
I am saying we pick Sinclair...
Okk.. The usual suspects haven't made the thread, so i am starting it (with my luck, someone already has started it). Please merge/delete if it is so.
The big question!
Schneider or Sinclair? Who goes out now that Markworth would be back on the weekend. Or they swing a voodoo about vfl game...
Yep - we've seen them and done a :rolleyes: on why anyone would even bother designing them, let alone click on them.
- The "eat this gross thing" and never be fat again (or have any taste buds left)
- All other strange "diet" related ones
- build oversized muscles (simple - just use photoshop)...
It's clear that St Kilda has done a mini re build to fix up its list in the post 2010 footy world. The big questions, to which every one has a different opinion are-
- is St kilda going to go down and do a slow rebuild?
- do the veterans have enough 2nd wind left in them to be assisting the...
The lack of media focus on the national draft / the underdeveloped net based history for early 2000s mean that people have gotten away with saying, "Oh, Gary Ablett Jnr wasn't that good at drafting time and so pick 40 was what his real value was". The key inference is that if today's rule was...
St Kilda chose Ross Lyon as the coach over Longmire. Paul Roos was worried about losing Horse but not so much Ross Lyon. Longmire has now won a premiership while Ross Lyon drafted poorly and left for big $$$$.
Was it a bad choice/karma for st Kilda or incompetence?
Wow!!! Talk about shit deluded articles.

He said the Scully dad deal was a "win win". I kid you not. GWS lost their CEO straight up coz of it and we have this guy giving it a positive angle. That's...
2006. - Lenny does knee early on, saints scrape to get to elim final and get bundled off. Coach gone sensationally... Captain crushed.
2011- Lenny does knee early on, saints scrape to get to elim final and get bundled off. Coach gone sensationally... Captain in hospital for knee surgery (and...
I am so glad it's over - supporters and players this year have copped it sweet. This team isn't the same without Hayes. Once he was lost, it was going to be an uphill battle.
Despite the horrible start, we made the finals and got bundled out in elimination. Eerily similar to 2006, when Lenny...
I am reading Bill Bryson's "in a sunburned country", and have realised how little we know or care about aborigines.
Why do Australians not care? Is it considered so hopeless and beyond help that we turn a blind eye? Is it right to do so?
Look at these articles...
Talk about sucking the umpire in.... Nothing in it. Got pushed in the chest by a hand - dropped down like a tree as if he had been hit with a solid punch in the face.
But with the MRP as is... Nothing will happen.
I remember when Freo played the Saints in 2008. They were a shamble. It felt like a training run rather than a football match. Mark Harvey seemed like a spud that season and that hasn’t improved much. He whinges every week about this & that, the weather, travel and god knows what else. For...
I reckon next time we crack past 68 points in a grand final, St Kilda will win.
2009 Grand Final
St Kilda... 9.14 = 68.
2010 Grand Final
Collingwood - 9.14 = 68
St Kilda - 10.8 = 68
Funnily St Kilda also kicked 9.14 against Carlton in round 7 this year.
Hi Guys...
Just noting that hunger games triology by Suzanne Collins is now complete and I highly recommend reading it.
Some have compared it to twilight, but it's not that. Romance is just a backdrop to some very fine writing and topical issues raised about government oppression and...
Ok... for r18's friday night...
Dunno about Essendon - they get Hille back who kicked 4 against St Kilda.
I suggest the team changes against Essendon be:-
In: Geary (preferably Armo but he's out injured who knows how long)
Out: Dawson
Although the likely scenario will be "no change"...
This is just a statistical discussion....
It is quite interesting to note that Hawthorn have had Collingwood for their bitches, but won this year when Luke Ball played for the Magpies.
2009
1 game v Hawthorn at Tassie - LB gets 2 brownlow points v Hawthorn
2008
PF - LB DNP - St Kilda...
We all know news sources are prone to errors when it comes to football reporting. But this tops the cake in the clanger stakes

Obviously, Barlow's story is sad but... you gotta see the humour there.
I am sure others can...
OK... hear me out, people. Usually, I am not a conspiracy theory person, but the Geelong game gave me the idea:-
1. Bomber Thompson is a very crafty (and successful) coach.
2. Geelong were in the spotlight a la 2008 before this Friday, e.g. see St Kilda's betting value of $3.80. Nobody...
