I had this discussion at work one day, and my argument for was met with incredulity (these guys at work were hard-core rugby and league followers). My point was that AFL players were world class in their football-specific skills, fitness, athletic ability within the confines of an elite-level...

I read that as, "QLD MAN YELLS AT CLOUD" and immediately thought of OP.

There's your clue, football's lovechild, the guy can do no wrong.

It's pretty obvious in some people, though. You can't deny that surely.

He's a member of a minority -- a mere 2 or 3% of the Australian population -- who is articulate enough to advance his people's cause. How that message is accepted is the problem here, it seems.

Settle, petal. I was quoting Johnny.

Dying. Death. Non-existence. OP asks what is your greatest fear, not your teams' :eek:

Thing is, the majority of Goodes' off-field work is related to Indigenous issues, and that is what we see, so it's pretty obvious what problem people have with Goodes.

So let me get this straight: You despise Goodes for what he has done for his people OFF the football field, i.e. a greater awareness of Indigenous issues, and in your personal experience that goes for everyone around you? But you accord him some respect (begrudgingly I must add) for his efforts...

Goodes' reaction to someone in the crowd abusing him was instinctive. He said his heart dropped (or words to that effect) when he realised that that someone he pointed at was a young girl. He, along with AD, would later implore the media, yes, the media, to not demonise said girl. The discomfort...

Forget even that, it will be be the single greatest achievement since man learnt to walk upright!

A massive a-hole who's quite hilarious.

I don't have a passport, but I've seen a fair bit of Australia; its cities, its highways, its large regional centres, the back of Bum* and beyond. So I guess the regrets that I have at not (yet) having travelled overseas is off-set by having seen a lot of own country.

I like the quote, "The grass is greener only where you water it", which I had only heard quite recently. It's good advice.

Clarifying my "Like" for the bolded.... :cool:

Use the following terms: Facey Beerey Metrey meaning: Facebook Beer Metre, as in: a metre long fish, primarily a "barra" (barramundi), the bogan's fish of choice. If you find yourself using these terms, give yourself an uppercut, *en dickhead campaigner! :rolleyes:

Interesting backstory to why these weren't made in huge numbers with politicians whipping up anti-muscle car hysteria in Parliament over the horsepower regular punters would have after Bathurst, where these cars would be unveiled for the first time, after which they'd go on sale to the general...

Don't know but my first two cars were (early '70s HG Holden ute, and a 1968 Falcon XT sedan). Learnt how to drive with three-on-the-tree, loved 'em. Back onto the early Falcons, I owned four of them in the '90s: 1968 XT Falcon sedan (blue), 250, three-speed (on. the tree) -- took me up and down...

In my experience, it gets physically, emotionally, mentally (and spiritually?) tiring maintaining a belief in something that is obviously not for me, so I tend to let go, move on and hopefully learn from whatever it was. This doesn't display a weakness, rather a kind of strength to admit one...

That was quite epic!

Is the cone of silence surrounding old mate chargers 09 still applicable?

The reactions, or non-reactions, were quite funny; like the tradie responding to his, "Well, that was really difficult." with, "What, a big s**t?" :)

His AFS would be epic!

Couch.

Not necassarily. We have a good r'ship, shared history of 20 years, kids.... she knows me as well as I know her.

I have a good female friend I have known for a few years who is 28; her BF of around 6 months is 51! She is quite hot so old mate must have the goods :) If most of you guys know my age by now you would either be pleased or repelled that a 20-year-old hit on me at the weekend (8/10).... and she...

Well you know what to do, son :cool:

'Honorary' Rastafarians then.

Some people should know better. This kid had some impairment yet he saw whatever weakness in you, bullied you and got away with it for however long. You reached a point where you reacted with what you could see was a weakness in him.

Tongue in cheeks....
