Can Saad defend? Everyone talks about his offensive capabilities but I think Essendon actually need defensive smalls.

They’ve always got Andrew “Rising star winning defensive small” McGrath.

The week off before Round 1 with only two JLT matches now seems stupid, I guess they want clear air for the AFLW Superbowl or whatever right?

 

[Finest of Wines]

He should be sacked for being a shit commentator, he should not be sacked because of which consenting adult he has chosen to have sex with.

Im just upset that hes back in commentary roles, not what he did! He will never get sacked for being a crap commentator because he is well and truely in the AFL boys club, so now he'll be around commentating until hes Sandy Roberts age

AFLW GF is still on round 1 weekend from memory

Besides his hair....was he awesome like that said he would be?

One effective disposal. One.

The Players Assoc had been campaignering for an additional week off during the season in the most recent CBA, so maybe this was the compromise?

The blood flow from his head wound was amazing.

He should be sacked for being a shit commentator. He should never be employed again, because his role is, whether right or not, one where you are inevitably a role model or at least should be that a kid could aspire to follow in your footsteps. He's not a dog for sleeping with a consenting adult. He's a dog that deserves shit for his personal life for cheating on his wife, with a supposed mate's ex. In a proverbial sea of billions, he shat in his virtual backyard without running it by his friend. It's not like he was stranded on an island with no choices.

If you believe in soulmates/twin flames and the like, you don’t want billions, you just want one.

Personally I don’t give a **** what Lyon, Carey or Barnaby Joyce do in their private time. What I do care about is their ability to perform their role. Lyon is a ****ing shit analyst and was only brought over by Fox because they believe that Melbourne will have a good year and want Roos and Lyon to discuss them each week. Carey is alright as far as his comments go. Their actions have nothing to do with their job, so quite frankly Lyon could be ****ing Carey and I wouldn’t give a shit.

But Joyce displayed a crap level of judgement which makes him unfit to be the leader of a political party, because that’s exactly what you need a politician to do - make judgement calls on the direction of the country.

And if we’ve reached the point where a sports commentator who has a limited knowledge of the sport he is talking about is seen as a role model, there is something really ****ing wrong with the view of the world.

I'm just glad they pissed off that dinosaur Tony Shaw... talk about being a biased piece of scum!

Not often I agree with you Janus, but you’re on point here I recon.

He always seemed like the one guy who genuinely exuded the anti-SA mentality that the Kick-a-Vic paranoia fed on.

But perhaps with good cause, I once heard Graham Cornes tell him during a call that he wasn't Hall of Fame-worthy.

Cornes must mean 'chutzpah' in certain languages.

 

[Schulzenfest]

Let’s not lump Lyon in with Carey. Lyon cheated on his wife with his friend’s ex-wife. Carey glassed his girlfriend in the face and then kicked a policewoman in the head. Lyon is a shit bloke, but just about everyone in AFL media is a shit bloke. Carey is a violent criminal.

The whole thing about this Joyce saga is that it takes 2 to tango, the woman involved should also face the chop and suffer the same fate as Barnaby cause you know "equal rights".

 

[Incarnate]

Now i only barely watched snippets of todays games but am i wrong in thinking that the umps severely favored the "New Hawthorn" aka Richmond? Please shit can me if I'm off the mark and before you jump to conclusions, no, im not James Hird. Nor have i ever had sexual relations with Monica Lewinsky.

Richmond were first to the ball and were ferocious - Easondon were pathetic - good front running but poor defensively. Umps did a good job i thought

Yes I agree, she needs to be sacked as leader of her party!

Agreed, he's trod well worn footsteps like Bill 'I'll upgrade from my wife to someone better' Shorten. Not surprising we haven't had him leading the attacks on Joyce's character. They should both piss off as not suitable leaders for a political party.

 

[OneGreatClub]

I see Don Puke has travelled overseas extensively (including a talk by the renowned Darren Burgess) during the break in search of things to give the Crows the winning edge this season. Although he has said that the main thing he discovered is that it's just old fashioned values give a team the winning edge I wish Ken would consider travelling afar on occasion. If I recall correctly Clarko did that during the Hawks dynasty. I guess at least our assistants went to some training with Arsenal.

 

[FishingRick04]

What a load of crap!

The stats on the number of people that cheat are outrageous! If everyone was punished so severely we’d have 40% of the population exiled for life

Maybe you could get channel 9 to take that up as a reality program. They seem to have no shame.

When will conservatives learn that their puritanism is not only unnatural (and ultimately harmful), but it also exposes them as hypocrites once the inevitable happens.
Joyce being a prime example.
