True, we haven’t had that many. Langdon and Phil Read weren’t liked by many. Even Woosha, Phil Matera and Daniel Kerr weren’t particularly loved. Maybe it’s my love of NBA, but I think it’s great that guys like Sicily and Mason Cox are around. Nothing wrong with a bit of strut. As Aussies...

Footy wouldn’t be the same without some villains. If they played for us they’d be your favourite player. However... Tom Lynch is the private school prefect who’d dob you in for having a durrie after school. He left for the best team in the comp (who would have won a flag with me in the goal...

NicNat’s marking stat is the yardstick I use for whether I should respect someone’s football knowledge. Congrats OP.

I rate him, and I see him playing a Chris Mayne role as a hybrid forward/mid who can be relied on for consistent effort but lacks the traits of a star. This isn’t a knock, he always has a crack and should play 150 games. He would look much better in a strong side (like most players!).

It’s good that footy clubs aren’t run by the idiots on BigFooty! West Coast and Geelong are both well-run, professional clubs who understand the value of getting a deal done. They also understand that we’re dealing with a real person and family, not an abstract commodity like some on here like...

It’s so good to see footy flourishing in Brisbane again. Hope you guys who endured the lean years are enjoying the ride!

Thursday and Monday nights all year thanks.

Imagine being so staunch and miserable that this would upset you. Blokes who spend their life trying to be ‘old-school’ but are really just afraid of any emotion or affection. It’s not good for your health, thank god things are changing.

You don’t actually believe that do you? I’ve always enjoyed your contributions to the forum, but that is one of the most moronic and hyperbolic things I’ve seen here. Seriously, ‘militant anti-integration subversives’? You can’t accuse people of overreacting when you say this nonsense.

You worry about the umpires waaaay too much. Chill out and enjoy the footy.

There’s a difference between swearing to an umpire and swearing at an umpire. Different umpires might have different personal interpretations of that (and that’s fair enough), so it’s probably smarter to just keep your mouth shut.

Sarah went missing on Australia Day after going to the fireworks. Not really a routine evening. Jane changed her plans at the last minute and decided not to leave with her friends. She’d also initially wanted to go to the movies with her brother but he couldn’t attend. Also hardly part of a...

I’m not saying it’s impossible, just that it’s unlikely. If the Karrakatta attack is a template for his later offending, he picked his target in the moment for matters of convenience. He was looking for a lone girl on the outskirts of the entertainment area. That’s what he found in Rowe Park in...

Sarah was coming from CBV. Much quicker to walk down St Quentin’s Ave to Stirling Rd and then wait on the highway, especially if you’re going to Mosman Park.

Working on the presumption that the Karrakatta crime was a prelude to the Claremont murders, it just seems waaaay more likely that the victims were chosen at random for issues of convenience. I just don’t buy the theory that he sat and waited for a girl that he had a tenuous link to (through...

Not saying they definitely would have, but it’s a distinct possibility they would have mentioned that interaction to their friends. Especially if they had got to the point of telling him what their plans were after. This is just my opinion, but I don’t really see him as a suave and...

Just as an aside, is anyone else finding it surreal that we’re discussing a trial and actual evidence that isn’t just hypothetical? Just a few years ago this seemed an impossibility, and we were resigned to listening to the rantings of crazies and trying to extrapolate the little snippets of...

Exactly. Unlike a lot of Aussie sports fans, I love a bit of cockiness. A bit of strut. But if you’re running to the umpires when it starts coming back at you, you’re just a coward.

That’s disgracefully patronising. Suggesting that he doesn’t know any better because he grew up in an Aboriginal household is the sort of attitude that was used to keep indigenous people off the census and disenfranchised. Of course Aboriginal people face a multitude of challenges, mainly as a...

You’re the only one who has brought up race here. The fact you are trying to use his race as an excuse for his behaviour is disgraceful and completely offensive to indigenous people. You’re the one equating his drug use to his race and background, and it’s disgusting.

Not really sure how you came to this conclusion? Seems an almighty leap in logic to me.

Agree, but they’ve been so thoroughly hamstrung by the useless initial investigation. Whether it’s corruption or just blatant negligence and ineptitude, they have made it so tough for a successful prosecution and it needs to be investigated how that happened and whether there are similar botched...

Cmon dude, you really think sentencing guidelines are going through someone’s head when they commit these awful crimes? What a stupid thing to say. And name one single instance where the perpetrator of a mass killing has served a ‘soft 20 years’. Sentences are going up, not down, and the death...

Could you tell us who the protected persons are, so we know not to mention them? ;) It’s an interesting but understandable development, could this mean a jury trial is on the cards?

Not close to 60m, it’s literally on the other side of the road. But yes, a ridiculously tight window. Especially if it was a blitz attack.

I think she had booked the cab to go to Mosman Park where her friend lived. Obviously a much cheaper ride. I think this is mentioned in the CIA episode or The Devil’s Garden book. Perhaps both. It would be a little strange to wait on the BC Bodyclub corner for a taxi heading west on Stirling...

I’m so angry at him. He’s the last player on our list I’d expect to do that. Absolute dog act. If he gets 6, so be it.

This is certainly possible, and assuming the same person committed the Karrakatta rape, Rowe Park (where the KK victim was abducted) and Chatsworth share some distinct similarities. Both would be used by revellers returning home from the club, are quiet and poorly lit but would allow the...

Yes, it probably would have been on Stirling Rd. Where he went from there is the mystery I suppose. Could have done a u-turn before the traffic lights, or continued through the intersection onto Stirling Hwg. He could have even gone straight through towards the river.

Yep, and then the car behind them didn’t go through the intersection as it should have. When the taxi Sarah had ordered arrived minutes later, she was gone.
