Folau would be a PR nightmare.
You quote Leviticus which was a Jewish law Covenant . Folau isnt Jewish. Only Jews are under that Covenant. As for hell. The word just means buried, we hell potatoes for example.

I quoted Leviticus because Folau quoted Leviticus. Most people do when they’re being homophobic bigoted ar$seholes because that’s one of the few places in the entire bible, old and New Testaments, that mentions homosexuality at all. And if you’re going to live by the Leviticus sword you can die by the Leviticus hypocrisy.
Acts and Romans talks about Homosexuality as unacceptable, some principles of the old covenant carried over by the way. I thought bigoted meant you dont allow others to have an opinion. So if he was asked his opinion he wasnt allowed to have one and you keep calling him a bigot. You also talk about hypocrisy.
bigots are those who are obstinately devoted to their own prejudices : especially when it comes to their hatred of minority groups : and Choose to remain wilfully f#&#ing wrong
I also said "few".
but if you choose to quote Leviticus, have a tattoo, and then have a crab salad at sunday morning brunch without puting your waiter to death then you're a hypocrite.
Am I intolerant of bigots? you betcha.
Does this make me a hypocrite? I don't give f#&k.
all I know is that I'm on the right side of both history and decency.

I know that language is evolving... but that exchange was more like mutation.
You do realise that there's a difference between maths and other types of language, particularly the English one, there are different rules in place with regard to construct, use and meaning. And given I was using, you know... words - not numbers - to make my point, my point still stands.

oh, and the example you use (2x) -6 = -12
is not a double negative - its a positive times a negative. If you multiply 2 negatives, say -2 x -6 you get +12 and thus prove my point even further.

I said double negative
That’s two negatives.
Shakes head sadly at some people’s failure to understand even basic concepts....
Disagree....he would be a close second to Jezza (even given his dumb showing today)

We had to make real time judgements with a reducing list. Last year you'd have said we got it right a year after the event. It's only really Pattons loss of form, and he was offered a contract.
I dont blame him for going, he needed confidence. Playing VFL and then finding a regular spot with a developing Bombers side has clearly done wonders for his confidence at AFL level. Good luck to him, doesn't really make it a mistake the way the cap was allocated though

I think a lot of people (even GWS followers) are overrating their 20-20 hindsight on the list management issues. We had to reduce the list size significantly, and following the sudden AFL House edict, suddenly too in the year he left. Stewart had his chances to cement a first grade spot, but never really clicked for GWS - he was overtaken firstly by a then-very junior Cam McCarthy, and the next year by Rory Lobb. When HH came along and with Patton flourishing, Stewart was facing a lot of time in seconds - we can't forget that the players have a say in this too and I believe that it was as much Stewart wanting out as Giants pushing him out. I would agree that were Stewart on our list now and playing as he is now he'd be in the team ahead of HH & Patton, but behind Jezza.
Stewart vs an in form General would be a no contest. General every time for me.....but current form is different.
Please find form soon Jonno, we need you. ( as a FF and not anything else)

To keep the talk on ex giants tall forwards McCarthy hits 50 this week although this article questions his form we all know he is not a no1 forward he needs to play a linking role like tom lynch or long leads and also not sure who could replace him from their list with Taberner injured (I think) but the whole dockers team had a poor game v Sydney

An addendum. Ahern's debut confirmed
Yep, the AFL didn't really think it through did they. Enable them riches, then take it away seemingly overnight meaning depth was always going to be thinned out pretty quickly.
In saying that, you would've liked to think some things could have been handled better.
had a fantastic game today, perseverance has paid off for Paul, wish him the best (except when he plays us)
Yes the kid deserves a break. He was on the cusp of selection when he did that 2nd knee. Silky smooth player who just needs even luck to be a very good player. His draft highlights video was one of the best you would see.
