Blair is a cousin of Brent.He has nearly headed to the Central Murray a couple of times where his family holiday every year.Travel factor always the issue so wang could be a chance.Justin Murphy and he are very tight and were playing together this year as a package;so that may be an option.Some other news is that a Wang Rovers O&M rep looks set to accept a coaching job in the next couple of days.
Ricky symes is no chance his cousin or brother something like that is coaching benella, Ryan Macca is staying in perth loves it there and ozzi is a definate to go to wahgunhya , As for henno he is studying to be a police officer and is staying down there for another year but the story goes 2009 is when he returns you heard it first here, Mat mills is to fat , Taft is nearly a definent starter though he was toss love child and would still brain them in O&M, Harrop is no chance. That is all i have got and its all 99.995% true over and out

Take care.

At the risk of provoking you into further diatribe, …. …. I've got to disagree with you Bro! .....
…. … I think your wrong, ... “bigfooty.com” is a collection of diversified and numerous forums and in itself that is what constitutes chat rooms. … … The entire BF site falls under the classical definition of exactly that, … ... go have a look at the number of forums and then with credibly try to say otherwise, ... ... I suggest you would be swimming against the universally understood meaning for “a forums” or “chat rooms”. ....
If you're truly looking for something challenging from my posts, (and I really doubt your are), ... just surf my handle and you may learn this is but one place I review and comment in. … ... I'm just warming up my friend, … … easing my way into the site and enjoying the interaction.

I simply read another post, .... and indeed do move on.
That is not the case with your response to me I observe, ... I’m not even offended by that. (so if that was your purpose, .. you've missed the target by a country mile and I suggest you do have much to learn about me.) ... ... However as you've taken the time to engage me, ... so too does the responsibility of courtesy & politeness befall me and I'm required to respond as well. ... I'm happy to respectfully reply to your post about mine. …. We might agree that to do otherwise, … … well, wouldn't that just make an hypocrisy of the foundation principles of chat rooms and these sorts of exchanges?
However, … … I do understand you & your position. I can even agree there is a specific focus in O&M and I'm yet to contribute as you might wish from me. ... ... But as you are not privy to my purpose, ... you can't fathom it for the moment. ... I judge you not, yet you feel free to show your intolerance if that is as you wish it. … I have not and shall not taken offense with you and say we both have equal rights to be here for our respective purposes. …. … I don't mind that you disapprove of my posts, ... but you're not my driving purpose and your approval or otherwise is totally irrelevant. ... ... I say that as a matter of fact, ... ... and with no malice harbored towards you.
Live and let live Bro. …
Take care,
Oz ....
outside of the internet. Big Footy users please don't take me wrong and think I am trying to tell you what to do. I think that this is the only solution for us to get him of this thread so we can continue talking about O & M football
Well, well, well, Roomies, .....
What do we have here? ....
… … Should I, … … or should I not rebut the proposal advocated by a fellow member of BF?
… ... To remain silent would hand vindication to an absurd proposition.
… … To over react would just add fuel to a potential fire.
… … A quandary has beset me, … … rights are at stake and from my perspective, … this requires a strong but respectful defence.
… … To not defend my rights would encourage those that would trample the freedom of speech to be damaged, …. Thereafter anyone that were to put forward an alternate argument to that of a “Dominate Minority” would be marginalised, maligned or bullied into withdrawing from debates that would contend opposing opinions.
… … Democracy would be replaced by censorship, … … mob pressure overriding free thought. This is a right that must be defended, … no matter the disingenuous sensitivities of the one that protests about me.
… … As I've already said, ... I'm not here a upset a soul. I trust that I’ve been respectful, … and I give the undertaking that I shall continue in that fashion.
I am bewildered by our friend’s offence, … somehow found in my reply to him, … … as no offence was implied or intended.
… I’m stunned that it was he that elected to openly engage with me when he clearly had choice to do so, … … or just ignore me altogether. Our friend’s posting was achieved by his own hand alone. … … In turn it was respectfully answered. … ... The same cannot be said for the manner of their 1st posting to me I might suggest. … … I could conclude it attempted to address me in a superior tone. …. It was an attempt to be clever, ... … smart acre and dominant, … … with its only apparent purpose to silence or deter me (a fellow member) from participation in this very open and democratic chat room. Then came our friend’s 2nd posting. … … That is nothing short of hostile and designed to denigrate a member’s (me) freedoms of speech, … … (a call to arms so to speak), … … for mob rule and collective shunning and isolation.
… … And, … … just because he would recommend it to all others?
… … It would appear that our fellow roomie thinks I don't have an interest in the AFL code or O&M, … but nothing could be further from the truth.
… … Every word I've posted thus far is truthful and I do support an AFL division elsewhere with my hard earned funds, … … making significant yearly contributions for no other purpose than seeing it grow in strength in a region dominated by Rugby League.
… … I have a personal interest in O&M and that is not for open disclosure and our friend has no right to learn my reasons, …. nor is he in a position to judge me one way or another. …. Yet our friend would elect to encourage others to rally against me, … … treat my presents as a threat or some form of challenge to the rest of you, … … to encourage each of you to treat me with distain and spite, … … rather than simply ignoring me and not engaging with me, … … if that happens to be your individual choice.
… … Again from my perspective, … … that might not even be lawful, … it without doubt, and at best, … immoral, … and if it were to succeed, … would lower the reputation & standing of BF, … … bringing it into disrepute.
... … Don’t forget roomies, … … our friend first elected to posted his reply in open to me. …That was exactly what he chose to do of his own free will. …. In footy terms, … … the analogy could well be described that our friend has been caught for a deliberate “putting the ball over the boundary line” … … yet he would have the crowd become vocal supporting him in having another pinged (me) for his own efforts!
... … Not wishing to be too melodramatic, … I think it important enough to show I see something very different from our fellow roomie in how his call would deride my rights in this place. I shall quote one of the most recognisable quote for libertarians ever written, … … and I’m sure the majority of you will know it, … … but may not have understood it in context with circumstances like the one confronting me, (and you all), … ... right now.
"If you once forfeit the confidence of your fellow citizens, you can never regain their respect and esteem. You can fool some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time, but you cannot fool all of the people all of the time."
…. Our friend may do well to reflect upon President Abraham Lincoln’s famous quotation. Please remember, ... … it was Abraham Lincoln that stoped the suppressive practice of slavery and stood for the freedom of all men, any colour, race and creed, equally. He paid for it with his life, .. but it changed the world and set the foundation upon which all civilised countries exist to this day.
. … … I feel no less threaten by his call to action of individuals in place against me than in the unacceptable practice of an err long discarded and never to arise again.
… … The move is less than respectful to not only myself, … … but to all persons that support our way of life, … our freedoms to express ourselves, … our rights of existing without fear & prejudice forcing us away.
That is simply Un-Australian. … In my opinion, … it should be rejected with ever fibre of our being.
To address the untrue assertion of our friend that I'm don’t contribute to footy, …. in my defence I reject this outright.
… … I’m posting elsewhere in BF and did invite him or anyone that was interested to surf for those postings at their leisure if they wished to do so.
…. … There was no demand by me, …. … just the invitation and opportunity for the fair minded to balance the propaganda of what could be described as nothing less than the recalcitrant opposition to my existence or towards the rights of others if they would say something our friend doesn’t support or is directly opposed to.
(That’s just suppressive attitude and unflattering for those that are campaigner for it.)
… … As evidence I do indeed participate in BF, ... … I place three recent BF links to other forums I’ve posted at to completely debunk the artificial assertion made against me.
… … I remind my fellow roomies that the first casualty in most adversarial contests (and it becoming apparent to me that is what our friend is turning this into) is often the truth.
… … My observation is that our fellow member appears to wish to have this happen against me, … … and my rights to be a contributor to a wider BF family.
For the fair minded, … … please feel free to use the following links to learn of just a few contributions I’ve made:

Roomies, …. there are appropriate methods available to all of us that have grounds to report fellow users for abuses, intimidation, sexism, racism, violence or bullying.
… … Those standards are set by BF and, … … via the “Offensive Post Report” function, …… a wayward member can be managed by our Moderators.
… … Upon receiving such a report, … … the Moderators will investigate the offending post and deal with the member in appropriate fashion. … … I would advocate and recommend that if there is evidence in any post of mine of that type of behaviour, … you are all free to report it and I say you should do so without a moment of hesitation.
… … It appears to me that although those mechanisms are here for this purpose, ... there is a personal advocacy by a fellow member to silence & shun me for reasons of their own.
... … Purely from a democratic & libertarian perspective, there are whiskers all over that method. Even though you are advised you’re not being told how to think or act, .... clearly you are.
… … I for one can see that our fellow member is relying on flock mentality and prejudices with the expectation you may not know your own minds and need to be directed to act in a particular manner to vilify me.
… … From my perspective, …. that is more offence to any individual intellect than anything I’ve posted. … … Those of you that don’t what to deal with me, … … and clearly again, … some of you are not. … … However, there are others that are contacting me privately, … … and I’m just fine with that as well. … … They shall never be outed by my doing, … as I fear they too might be ostracised by mere association with me.
… … I’d hate to think what our friend’s position might be if those persons were identified, … … if what he’s sponsoring against me is any indication.
… ... (Let get a rope and hang them all I can hear someone crying from afar!) … JK
…. Seriously roomies, ….. that is how prejudices and vilification begins. … … Fair minded people, …. I suggest this should be of concern for you all.
.... As for the notion that I'm supposed to be treating or taking the forum for fools, … … just look at the depth behind this posting and my respect for your collective intellect. … … I’m not treating any of you disrespectfully and I trust these words will challenge each and everyone of you to think long and hard about a very important set of freedoms.
.... To say I think your fools, …. … that’s nonsensical and simply untrue. … … I'll always be respectful to one and all, .... with the exception to a post that personally denigrated a fellow member in a very distasteful manner. ... … I would hope that any decent individuals would have jumped to the defence of a fellow human being in similar circumstances to the one I saw and react with similar repugnance to personally damaging posts.
If it is the wish of the wider BF membership or its managers (Moderators) that I cease and desist, .... I'll be happy to take that under advisement from them.
… … However, ... the suggestion that is currently being touted is disturbing on a number of levels, … … not the least of which is the flagrant vigilante approach to disenfranchise my participation by group persuasion and the influence of other members who can, … by exercising their own free choice, … … simply ignore my post and never engage me again.
… … It worries me that our fellow member would elect to rally the wider membership to shun me on his say so. I cannot understand what it is about me that he appears threatened by or is personally challenging to him. … I’ve found his posting fluent and cohesive, … so it can’t be on any intellectual grounds, … and I am at a lost to find any other logical reasons that make an ounce of sense.
… …. I suggest it would be unveiled discrimination and heavy handedness if it were supported.
… … It would appear to contravene the notion of a the good old "Aussie Fair Go", … … especially seeing there are two significant options available to each of you.
… … The 1st is to report my postings for contravention of the code of practice laid down for us.
... or the most appropriate,
... … Just ignore me as I has previously suggested to you.
... ... I see Raidrboy is happy with that suggestion, ... and so am I. But I also trust a higher level of thinking will at sometime kick in for the fair minded and it will be recognised I am no threat or trouble maker. ... That is a myth and a term perpetrate to self justify an attitude of negativity, ... ... not associated with a rational thought process in fair mindedness.
… … Once more I wish to say, … … I’m not attempting to upset anyone or disrupt your freedoms.
… You all have choices available to you. I advocate you use them as you each are free to do so.
Respectfully, ... & take care.
Oz …..
