Terrible camera work. Saw the edge, couldnt see the slip cordon though

It just comes down to me being a more sceptical person than you. We don't know for sure what his motivations were and probably never will.

It sounds like you're conflating scepticism with cynicism.

4/134 you beaut.

 

[DonDynamite]

Lol at the commentators creaming their slacks over the Red Arrows that flew 5 hours ago.

Need a book to read, any recommendations?

Pictures are preferable.

If your looking for something that's not too thought provoking, action orientated, and better written than anything from Dan Brown or Matthew Reilly (post his first couple of Scarecrow books) than try the Jack Reacher series.

Arnies book 'Total Recall'!

Just passed 10,000 posts and didn't realise it. Only took 9 years. Only 27 years to go before my big reveal!

I figure I'll be 178 years old before I hit 40,000 posts.

True, however if there was any evidence I would consider it

Hey raman did you see that they're remaking Old Boy?

Josh Brolin and Samuel L with Spike Lee as the director.

Is it wrong that I am ignoring the kids in favour of reading Big Footy?

My little brother is getting coached by a former Number One draft pick for the rest of the season.

I'm jealous.

Well, apparently Craig Burton (kicked that 1 goal for North in GF in '89), has a son who is quite a handy footballer, and is playing in under 16 championships at the moment.

I'm assuming - unfortunately - that he wouldn't be available to us for father/son, despite North players apparently being aligned to us in the father/son rule. My reason for this, is that I haven't heard/seen anything mentioned anywhere. One article I saw from a google search was in relation to Darren Jarman's son, who is playing alongside Burton's son at North, being a potential father/son for the AFC. The same article mentions Burton, but no mention of any father/son tie-up, although obviously D Jarman and the Crows are a more exciting combination for the media than Burton jnr and his potential to join the PAFC.

I have searched for Craig's total games played for North but can't find this total. He moved from West to North early in his career. No doubt he probably played 180 for North and 40 for West (I'm guessing) - which when added together, would see the 200 total (West also are I believe, one of our allocated clubs) - however, I believe the total must be in total for an individual club.

Father/son rule

I have a vague recollection that a SANFL club asked for their F/S alignment be switched from Port. Would this have been North?

Regardless, I'm of the opinion that Port should not access any F/S players from any club other than Port Adelaide.

The club should release a series of videos documenting our establishment in 1870 and our history up until 2013. Footage and images of old premiership sides would be fantastic.

Video 1: 1870-1900 (1900 was our last wooden spoon year)
Video 2: 1901-1920
Video 3: 1921-1940
Video 4: 1941-1950
Video 5: 1951-1960
Video 6: 1961-1970
........
Video 9: Our 1990 bid.
Video 10: 1990-1996
Video 11: Our second bid.
Video 12: 1997-2000
Video 13: 2001-2007
Video 14: 2007-2013

Or something like that. That would be cool.

Those customers who have a good yarn on their phone while I'm trying to serve them, then glare at me when I dare to ask for their money as if I'd just asked if I could sacrifice their first born.

screw em all. screw working in retail.
