She could help us with the Sandy alignment. Helping impoverished palliative patients was kinda her thing.
I'm thinking more along the lines of helping an impoverished club in the silverware department. Some prayers on our behalf could be helpful!

Lolmond.

What an effing rabble.

The rebels want to be top four and win premierships.
This will happen by changing the board apparently.
No building, Richmond just deserve it because that is their mentality

Port Adelaide just as bad with that idiot mouthpiece Kochie

Would not mind the membership & profit the Tigers have increased in recent times.

Glad we have the plant from the AFL working for us ....disunity is death

I'm a lover, not a fighter
Teresa of Calcutta was officially canonised today by the Roman Catholic Church officials. That means she has been awarded the highest honour that the Church can bestow on someone for their years of service: commonly called sainthood.

So there's a thread on the main board about the Tigers board challenge, worth a look at for a giggle.

Someone copied the following from the challengers website. No idea if it's legit or not.

If anyone was on SS around the time a punter calling himself Barks4eva was spitting his truth, constantly talking about sacking the board and blah blah blah...

This is the kind of thing I'd expect from him, or the infamous BigMart. This is what happens when nobodies like us on footy forums think they can get into the pro circuit. I love it, thank God it wasn't us. Love the MS Word spelling correction left in there, real professional.

EDIT: also love the 2nd box being too small for the text. The text in question?

'a new definition of "success".' lolololol

I can understand the tigers needing to define this mysterious word, and can certainly understand would be tigers board needing to redefine it. Maybe when they get real black back on their guernsey they can crack open the cigar box.

That borders on the most ignorant analysis on two footballers and their capabilities in the shortest post I think I have ever witnessed.

It takes a special type of stupid to be so willfully at odds with everything those two footballers have done in their careers.

Then I saw the poster was Fat Tony and it all made sense.

As a long time lurker, back to the days in the late nineties/2000 when the official Saints website had a forum, I can remember the RIX RUX ROX threads.

Was top stuff.

Ahern has done his 2nd ACL

Pick 4, 6 and 7 so not working out for GWS from their 2014 draft.

Ahern - 2 ACLs
Marchbank - gone at the end of trade period
Pickett - supposedly has attitude/behaviour/laziness issues
Any non-plastic club would be ruined by that sort of draft result i really hate the thought of GWS winning a flag will cheer anyone who gets in their way

Pickett at 4 was an absolute joke. Couldnt find the footy at junior level, couple of nice highlights nothing more. Marchbank also a massive stretch that early.

Ahern a bit unlucky, but overall arrogant recruiting. Plenty of blue chip options overlooked.

Agree that they were the unlikeliest of the 4,6,7 picked.

They could afford to pick position.
Marchbank seen more around pick 20.
Pickett was a super junior though
