Preview Round Nine vs Collingwood

[Vader]

So, what does that mean? Content suitable for 13 year olds? I've never heard of websites having ratings before. Is it self-regulated?

How does, for instance, Crowfoot's avatar fit in with this PG13 rating?

That means that anyone younger than 13 shouldn't be using the site (fairly sure that's one of the conditions you agree to when joining). It also means that people shouldn't be posting material which is unsuitable for a 13yo to see it.

Yes, the site is self-regulated - that's part of the moderator's job description.

As for Crowfoot's avatar.. I think you'll find that it's actually an optical illusion. It's a picture of something else, which is suggestive of what you think it is.

If someone complains about an avatar, then the mods & admins have a discussion and if it's deemed in appropriate then the user can be asked to change it. The admins have the power to change it, if the user proves uncooperative.

wasn't scotty thompson a gay icon at one stage?

not that anything is wrong with that, i'd certainly turn if he wanted to..

Yes he was.

I said i'd turn. My Wife said I'd have to get in line behind her...and all of her friends.

There might be a brief shower or two, but that should be it. It is actually quite pleasant in Adelaide at the moment. Very little wind and quite mild. Expect somewhat greasy but reasonable conditions with the chance of a short shower or two.

Gave me goosebumps. Its payback time

Seeing that just makes me want to win tonight even more, can't wait.

We certainly seem to have quite a history with Collingwood despite our club's relatively young age.

On another note is the broadcasting of games on specific channels decided prior to the season starting or is it done as the season progresses, because I can't see how there would be more interest in the GWS vs ESS game?

Yep, prior to the start of the season - I'm sure that 99 times out of 100 it would be the Adelaide game on FTA tonight, but the GWS game is the first one at Skoda Stadium. Sponsorship/exposure etc. are important to the fledgling teams, which is the only reason why they've got the FTA game this time around.

Thanks for that. Didn't make much sense otherwise, especially with the interest this particular clash seems to be generating.

That's the first time I've watched the vision since that fateful night. Absolutely gutting. **** I hope we smash them tonight.

Wow, Havent seen since that night. Forgot how gut wrenching that was.

But a lot of water under the bridge, 2 years of obscurity and Andy's demise the following preseason, the beginning of the end for Craig. It was a pyschological nightmare that is only now being purged but its a sobering reminder of how quickly fortunes can change in our game. But they can just as quickly change for the better. That process started with the appointment of Sanderson.

Tonight may go a long way in purging our demons the pain will always linger but thats what drives us to do better.
