Thank you Ian Dargie for a thoughtful, articulate approach to this. I cannot post very often because I have an affliction and must ask someone to do it for me, and I was loth to read this thread as I am often appalled by some comments, but it was a pleasure to read such wisdom.
We live right on the River just above the Toowong reach, we have steep bank of lawn down to the river of about 8 meters. At high tide today the water was 3 metres from our garage area. We have moved everything out of the garages and left the car at the top of a hill. Will continue to monitor the...
I have never had to purchase tickets for games as I have always had a membership, however I have two friends flying up from Adelaide 0n 31st March and they desperately want tickets for the game on 1st April. They have been Bears/Lions supporters since day 1 and regularly did the Carrara trip...
I seem to remember John Safran wearing a St Kilda jumper somewhere quite desolate in the Middle East during the original Race Around the World filmed for the ABC. He was not known well known at the time and I was struck by his passion for his team, he was desperate to know how his team was...
I agree. There is so much considered debate from intelligent posters that progress our understanding of the situation. People that we know to be great analysts of our game.
Sorry if I offended you, I think you must have mis understood my post. I know Fairley is Gen Y because I have followed his great posts with interest since he was quite young. He states he has a different view to many others here and as I said in my message, that is OK.
I know a great deal about...
Dear Fairley, I know that you are Gen Y and that you very probably take a different view to some of us here, and thats OK. However I am surprised at your lack of respect for the considered views of many here.
I saw many of these posters engage with you when you were very young and brash and...
Wow. There sure is some passion around here.
All I could come up with
Then raise our Lion Standard high
Within its shade we will live and die
Though cowards flinch and traitors sneer
We'll keep our Regal Lion here
Just read the response above to a non-member.
"Unfortunate you are not a member" "your comments would be more compelling if you were"
I am appalled that an organization that prides itself on marketing could write such a rude response to anyone who takes the time to contact them. I would...
We have just phoned four old friends who are members who live on the Gold Coast. They don't use the internet much and knew nothing about this.
They cannot believe that we would contemplate replacing our Lion with a cartoon.
They will send emails to the club and sign the petition.
Every little...
I am still waiting for any sort of response or acknowledgement from the Club about my email.
I forwarded another copy yesterday -- still no response.
In any campaign you need to keep up the pressure.
I believe we need to encourage everyone to send a very polite follow up email and keep going...
I am a Foundation Member of the Bears/Lions and I have always defended the Club whenever there has been any controversy over decisions because I believe that in general both football and Administration decisions have been made in the best interests of the Club and its members.
I dont like the...
Just wanted to encourage you all to keep up the momentum. If I could do more I would, but I am hanging on every word you all write and am amazed at the response to the Petition in such a short time. Wish the internet had been around in my younger days as an activist.
I suggest that if people...
Many of you know that I have been around for years but only post a little because I had a stroke and now suffer with Aphasia which means I have difficulty speaking and I cannot write so my Soulmate writes for me when I am sufficiently stirred.
I am so thankful to all of you for the work you are...
I am so upset about the mere thought of our heritage being tainted by any change to the Lion on our jumper that I have not been able to post.
In my past life as an activist we learned that to get the Media interested is the best way to help your cause.
With this in mind I visited the...
The Green Bridge is certainly the best way to get there, but coming home catch one of the hundred City buses in Stanley St outside the Gabba, get off at final stop in Adelaide St, walk 50metres up Adelaide St and catch the 411 at 10.15pm or 11.15pm, or walk another few metres to George St and...
Re: Tim Notting
Tim has been spending time with a very tall athletic young 16year old named Sam Henry helping him with his skills. Sam is Jodie's cousin and has only been playing Aussie Rules for one year. Apparently he was a Queensland Junior athletics Champion and played Rugby League (his...
At the risk of sounding un-hip and out of touch I must admit to bathing my senses in Gurrumul today.
My taste in music ranges from Pink Floyd, Led Zepplin, The Beatles, Lou Reed, Nick Cave, Tom Waites to Muse and The Chemical Bros, with a healthy dose of Paul Kelly. My taste in indigenous...
What a brilliant show. I laughed so much and the passion and the pain was so real.
Gotta feel for the team that wasnt in the Grand Final though. They :eekwere the wooden spooners.:eek:
Re: It's Leigh...
In my opinion, certainly.
In spite of Leigh saying that there would not be a review by an outsider, I am quite sure that there will be a thorough review of all of 2008, including tactics, skills, players, fitness people and coaches.
2009 will be a year where the...
