Oh dude, you are overeacting. You said it yourself right at the start "I haven't been around long enough to understand".

So I explained how the Casey Voss thing has literally been a thing here since he was a toddler which you then said wasn't your observation.

So then I simply invoke YOUR OWN disclaimer to say "yeah, it was indeed before your time" and then suddenly you claim you are being put down and that I am asserting my superiority... for saying the same thing as you. That's not you "engaging", it's escalating.

Sorry man, but in this case, any idea of "being put in your place" exists in your head. That is not what has happened here at all. Like I said, it was a throwaway line referencing a potential ironic situation on the horizon, and you've (admittedly unintentially) made a mountain out of a molehill. You've obviously got a preexisting opinion of me and it shaded your judgement in this case. iBeng and Scubaveg clearly saw it in the right light.

Try rereading it without the assumption I am being an arsehole and see if it comes off in a better light, because I genuinely wasn't.

Let's move on from exhausting ourselves over something that really could have ended at post #486
I really don't keep a mental track of peoples posting history when I'm in a discussion. I didn't think you were being an arsehole until you threw in the wink emoji and referenced my join date.

Ok, so I wasn't around in 2001 to read people posting about their hopes and dreams for toddler Casey Voss.

Instead of referencing my join date and tell me i'm pulling at to many threads for a throw away line, explain in a little more detail it was a throw away line and that there was a lots of posts about Casey Voss before 2015. Because anyone reading these threads since 2013 would have little idea that there were hopes and dreams for Casey from members here prior to last year.

I was playing nice and had no preexisting idea of where the conversation would go before post #498.

Happy to leave this conversation here now.

That would put us in a good position you’d have to think.
Yup.

From the reports I've read, the kid is a gun. Hope he keeps tracking along.

Hugh and Berry, and the rest of our recent draftees should be hitting their prime by 2022, and we should hopefully be a genuine top four team, making us very attractive.

If the points system and bidding is still around in 2022, and Will looks like a top prospect, wouldn't be a bad idea to use our first pick in a trade the year before or that trade period if possible.

I get the impression all going well with his operation we will be taking Lachlan..

DJ's son named in the Olympic Basketball squad...

The Boomers Tokyo 2020 Olympic squad features seven athletes who competed at the 2016 Rio Olympics: Ingles, Mills, Aron Baynes (Toronto Raptors), Ryan Broekhoff (NBA free agent), Matthew Dellavedova (Cleveland Cavaliers), Chris Goulding (Melbourne United) and Brock Motum (Galatasaray, Turkey).

Five players are receiving their first call to the senior men’s national team squad, including Josh Green (Dallas Mavericks), Will McDowell-White (Rio Grande Valley Vipers), Will Magnay (New Orleans Pelicans), Duop Reath (Crvena Zvezda, Serbia) and Matisse Thybulle (Philadelphia 76ers).

The Boomers squad also has nine NBL players, including Adelaide rookie sensation Josh Giddey and 36ers teammate Isaac Humphries, while there are three players from strong European leagues.

 
Thybulle is Australian. How did I miss that.
Good, it wasn't just me.

The Aussie kids going over there and getting drafted already throw off my radar, but add in when they weren't born here - they grew up here - it's hard to keep track of them.
 
Who’s who coming through the Queensland ranks

We spoke with Brisbane Lions and Gold Coast SUNS Academy teams to compile the list of the top talent coming through the Queensland ranks:
Brisbane
1. Jaspa Fletcher

Club: Sherwood
Son of Adrian. He plays inside, wing or forward. Possesses great game sense and decision making. Deadly around goals either distributing or kicking them himself.


Eligible in 2022 I believe.
