Former now, but means i'm not there to defend myself, so they're just going open slather.

They're being careful not to name me by name, but they've made sure everyone knows who they're talking about
Two ways to handle it - leave it all in the past and move on.

If you can't do that get good legal advice on your options (possibly a costly and drawn out process).

From what I know of your situation I'd be taking the first option and be moving on to better things and let them wallow in their own shit.

On a lighter note, I went to the Vic Market this morning to buy some nuts and dried fruits with a budget of $50. After weighing up the six bags it came in at...$50.02!

Winning. :)
Went to the supermarket on the weekend wanting to spend no more than $150 on groceries. It came in at... $149.80!

Winning. :)

Random question which I'm 99% sure I know the answer to, but just want to double check because I'm new to living in Melbourne and new to having the 'full' membership instead of just an interstate/3 game membership;

My membership card says I have "Access to Melb & Tas games". That only means home games, right? Like I can't get into Etihad this weekend to see Drews' 300th on my membership, right? I have to buy a General Admission ticket?

Thought it was a replacement game.

Just been looking at the stats wondering why the hell we are 6 zip. Nothing really stands out. We don't look like a top side statistically. We are a low to mid-range possession side. None of our midfielders are averaging over 22 possessions. The one thing that stands is our tackling pressure. We are clear number one for tackling differential. A side like the doggies is averaging over 100 more possesions than their opposition, you would think they would be dominating, which they are somewhat. They are obviously lacking efficiency, whether that's because they don't have forwards or they stuff around with the ball too much, I don't know.

I think we are just an old school, low possession get it as quickly as possible to our big forwards side. And we work hard in defence. Footy is pretty simple when you put it like that. We are a very even side. But you would think if we can dominate sides in defence with our workrate, we would be able to dominate with our workrate in offence, but it just doesn't seem to happen. I don't know if a couple of our midfielders don't have the engines or we are just never going to be a high possession side. We are an efficient side, that's for sure. Hopefully we can keep it going. I would like to see us dominate some teams and really stamp our imprint on this season.

Plenty of goal kicking options...its whack a mole for other teams...so to speak.
