It is a stupid random saying of the younger generation, usually below 18 years old. Its implied that you look weak and don't lift weights.
Oh. And my answer is: try 9 months of pregnancy to carry yo heavy ass around, and 18 hours of hard labour to squeeze yo fat head out. Then come talk to me about who the weak one is. :cool: :D

It would be awesome if Tippett causes Sydney to lose its salary dispensation and plus has poor wretched season too.

The fact that no club could afford to buy Tippett speaks volumes of just how much an advantage Sydney does have.

What will interest me is if Kurt has another concussion, will it be season ending - career threatening?

Development of brain damage in the long term has been highlighted by US sports, and more recently Greg Williams has reported cognitive changes that may be related to concussion. Tippett could very well be one more knock away from retirement - will be very interesting to see what the AFL's new guidelines end up being.

Odd seeing as he didn't negotiate problem contracts anyway
He didn't? He was responsible for all contract negotiations since he took over from John reid.

So if he has now had that taken from him, would it not appear that the club, without fanfare and public announcements, put into place checks and balances to ensure it never happens again?

That's not true, since Noble has started as list manager he's also had a hand in them. Harper quoted the percentages of how many Noble has done over the last two years.

As for ensuring it never happens again, not one of Harpers contracts were found to be dodgy. He's carrying the can for not dobbing on the club.

Lets not forget that it was Phil that arranged the life time supply of pies and frog cakes for Tippett.
Incorrect. :p Phil didn't arrange that deal, he was caught in the middle of it. Should have walked away but chose to acknowledge the meeting with an email and kboom he's accused of engineering it all.

Had emails not been invented, we would never have been caught out.


Although sadly, we could also have Jesse White on our list.

Did you forget to plug in your brain today Geoff? That's 2 stupid mistakes in 5 minutes. You're better than that.

Yes we would have.The trade would have got to the same point and Indian standoff would have occurred and the AFL would have said - oi, what the hell is going on.

Contracts existed before e-mail and they would have been filed away and a paper copy would have existed. The AFL would have asked for a copy and if we shredded them, we would have been in deeper doo doo.

All true, but the emails were a key piece of evidence against us. Probably would have copped a lighter sentence had the case against us not been so tight.

The stand off may not have happened had the AFL not been aware of some of the emails Caro had seen, who knows the AFL may have seen them as well. Hence they would not allow the trade to go through and forced the issue. Remember Caro had been claiming through 2012 she had seen emails about the clauses. Which the Adelaide Media laughed off. Not a big stretch that part of her getting information (she knew the penalties for both Melb/Adelaide well before handed out) out of the AFL for stories is that she too shares info with them if she comes across it.

Yes this is tin foil hat stuff, but there is a stong AFL/Caro relationship.


Anyway, it was more a light hearted comment on how dumb Reid, Harper and Trigg were to use email for such a thing. Don't use emails when you want to hide something......
