As per Thy's comment in the injury thread: Given the anxiety-inducing nature of new posts in the injury thread. Should we have separate "No Discussion" and "Discussion" threads? Consider this a place to offer your opinion to the mods.

I tried starting a thread about this on the Carlton board, but the mods seemed to think it wasn't worthy of discussion and just buried my post in the graveyard Umpires thread. Maybe here it will get more traction ... During On the Couch on Monday, I saw this: To me, that is as blatant a...

This was a post from Hawkforce in the "Israel Attacks Syria" thread, that I didn't get to respond to because the thread was locked. And the US, Israel and other western imperialists wonder why they are hated throughout the non-western world. Hawkforce and Israel seem to think it's OK to...

Here is a recently released report by the Global Commission on Drug Policy: Report And here's some key points from the executive summary: These are all things that have been said time and again by proponents of decriminalisation for years. The thinking is now becoming so mainstream...

Apologies if this has been presented before, but I couldn't find any reference to it via a cursory glance through this thread, nor the Australian Politics thread. Mods, if you think it should be moved, then I apologise for the inconvenience. Given that there seems to be a consensus that our...

Hi guys, I'm not normally one for completing surveys because I doubt their usefulness in actually getting people in high places to listen to the "little guy". But I completed the Carlton FC survey yesterday because I wanted an opportunity to voice my disappointment with the Docklands deal. I...

Hi folks, I posted this last year and didn't get much traction for it, but it's a lot of fun, so I thought I'd have another crack this year. One of the reasons people may not have been interested was that I mentioned "money", but this is optional based on any group's preferences. So, given...

My daughter turned 18 recently and her experiences over the last 6 months or so led me to wondering about the seemingly arbitrary legal drinking age. I got to thinking that the idea that a person reaches a certain age and automatically becomes eligible to drink and attend nightclubs, as...

There are so many deserved toast threads after such an emphatic performance by the lads last night, but the lack of one for Hampson is a little mystifying. Everyone has been saying how he can't stick his marks and especially can't take a contested mark, but we're now seeing his confidence...

Everyone has been saying that Shaun Hampson had a dog of a night on Thursday against Brisbane, but after watching the game for the 3rd time, I realised that although he didn't do a lot in his own right, his height strength and pace helped the team plenty. Garlett's first goal was enabled by...

I posted this in the "no more excuses thread" but it seems to have got lost in the "you're just venting" ... "no I'm not" arguments that see to inevitably follow a loss. So I thought I'd give it a thread of it's own to see what others think. We repeatedly look dangerous when the ball is 20 -...

The single most important AFL personality? I don't know how true all this is, but going by what I've read on BF in the 8 months that I've been a member, it would seem that: He used to barrack for Geelong, but jumped ship just before they started to experience their recent run of success...

I posted this on the main board a few days ago, but I thought I'd put it up here and see if there's any interest in this board having their own group in the comp! Some dudes I know created a tipping comp on the web that is margin based. You pick margins for all the games and points are awarded...

In quite a few threads this off-season, there have been a few posters who claim to hold the majority view when it comes to the behaviour of the Carlton players. I thought that it would be an interesting exercise to find out exactly what the majority position actually is. We have over 40,000...
