Phil
You were only with us for a very short time, but from the day you arrived, we could all tell that passion you wanted for success with us.
You wore our warrior colours with pride, and that pride was reciprocated by us.
The fire was in your eyes, and combined with your little gems of...
I just happened to be passing FP the Sunday morning after they all returned from the bye.
They had just finished a set piece and then all started point scoring practice. I kid you not, they were so relaxed that they had missed a goal, and nonchalantly went about lining up for another point.
No...
I didn’t know you
But I knew of you
Everyone who did know you
Said nothing but built praise upon you
It is said that you took every disappointment
that came your way
You took it like the gentle man that you were
In the annuls of the great game that you played
It will be remembered that...
Give it a rest girlfriend.
I didn't realise that you had the dignity meter this week. Dignity goes out the window once anyone here presses the login button.
I think your ego is bigger than your username quite frankly. How's that request of yours requesting more female friendly banter going...
Dictatorships are the go. Whether you've missed the point we are in the business of being a business. Since when did the masses have any say in what happens down at the Lakes HQ?
2 things come from that.
Yes might be a rabble and it certainly comes across like that in Melbourne as I reported before. We are not considered in favourable terms by anyone who's anyone there. That was evident by the comments from certain players that were in the Toyota box at the GF.
But we...
FFS delusions of grand eau much.
What we have here an internet forum for one club with say around current 200 members at a stretch. Yet the football club has over 50,000 members most who wouldn't even know that this even in existence. But 90% of 50K plus want Bassett?
Get a grip on reality man.
My dream team:
DoC: Phil Walsh
HC: Stewie Dew
Snr. Asst: Chris Fagen
Fwd Ch: ROK
Mid Ch: Macca
Back Ch: Milburn
Ruck Ch: Dean Cox
Jnr Development: Francou
Bugger. I was going to have a go at all those in the pro Bassett camp for painting themselves into a corner without any wriggle room to escape and what would they do if he didn't get the job.
And now I look and see that same goes for Bolton only in reverse. What happens if Bolton does get the...
After listening to most of Bombers' ramblings, I get the feeling that he was the one that the club had chosen, but to be Sandos Senior Assistant once his tenure at Bomberland was over. But the club didn't realise that sacking his friend, he wouldn't have a bar of the club after that. Now he's...
I think your thinking of a very good mate of mine Mark32. He's overseas now working in F1.
He was apparently the first to get CM's ire but learned to find a way to get under his skin. He told me about this jerk with a mighty than thou attitude that he had ding dong battles with an an internet...
Just returned from one of the greatest experiences. Except for being in the fan throng in 97 and 98, I haven't been to another GF. My wife won 4 tickets to the GF at a Toyota function recently. Now we're not talking just any old seats here, we were in with the in crowd in their corporate suites...
They are franchises just like Maccas Hungry Jacks, Subway, etc. Toyota paid for all the renovations that went on all at the same time a couple of years ago.
By the way it wasn't just the sacking of Sando that was the catalyst but the whole bloody year.
Just as a ps my missus won 4 tickets all...
There's one in every group I guess.
But nowhere did I say the organisers of the event, but they were all there, it was all over the room and I'm only mentioning here because of the amount of people attending, it's bound to get out. No one was drunk, especially when you get there and the first...
Correct. There's a name on the players jumper's left breast about whom I'm referring to. I went to a very big function last evening and the word getting around is that the club has been advised and Ill use the words I heard, "stop becoming amateur hour".
Apparently they have been put in no mind...
The word "stakeholder" received quite a few mentions during the past couple of days.
There is a group of very important stakeholders that haven't been mentioned at all that just might have had an influence of the club's re thinking in the past few months.
And therein lies the difference.
I lived in England during the 70s and the Brits all sang songs in the what we call the front bar in pubs. They sang old ditties from decades ago with catchy jingly melodies which was easy to swap and change lyrics to suit different situations like football...
Nothing will happen unless you make it happen. Spitting the dummy on a forum with a couple of hundred people will not make it happen.
Unless you do something like start a petition on Change.com or organise a protest outside the club with placards demand to be heard. That way you get media...
Again the sanctity of the jumper comes into play. I’m sick of hearing it. I’ll repeat again. It wasn’t sacred for me or hundred of others to purchase one at a sports store. I didn’t earn one. But it was good enough to earn money from it’s sale.
Then the old fashion habit of swapping jumpers...
If the jumper in question is so sacred I have two questions to the moaning minnies and the legends who complained.
1. Why was I and several hundred fans (including magpie supporters) able to purchase one in local sports stores?; and
2. Why did you take yours off after a game and swap jumpers...
Well what a fracas. To any Port supporter or legend who is upset that the Crows have sullied the SoO jumper by (a) having the audacity to wear this so called sacred object in a club game, and (b) selling the said sacred jumper to it’s fans. It has to be earned they say.
Well then why was I and...
Heard an amazing statistic on the ABC radio coverage of the Ashes, and both Clarke and Cook appearing in their 100th test match together, whereas Sachin Tendulkar appeared in 200 tests in his career.
The total of Clarke and Cook’s aggregate scores are the exact same as the little master made in...
I can tell you and it’s not on Wiki, that during the Ashes test in January 1975 is was standing room only from the fig trees northern end to the old stand that preceded the now defunct Bradman stand. Lillie and Thommo were the main attractions.
The first day was washed out and anyone who went...
