Re: RIP Jeff Dunne

Great player. Met him in a business capacity in Hobart over 20 years ago when he owned some paint stores, genuinely nice guy. Gone too young at 64. RIP.

Re: So, it's the Saints, the Magpies, the Giants or the Bulldogs

Sorry..I am not over this. Ross Lyon said we are in on SEN this morning. I thought we were out last night. Are you saying that if we can lose both games and still likely make it? I’ll give this a go... So it’s St.Kilda, Collingwood, GWS and WB for 3 spots Collingwood are most like to win vs GC and ...

Re: Billings and King

Madness. You would only trade a player like Billings in order to improve. The problem is, once we have improved, Billings is exactly the sort of player we would need.

Re: Bytel.

Did he totally dominate and produce the greatest debut since John Coleman? No.
Did he produce a very solid debut and show that he's totally comfortable at the level? Yes. At this stage of his career (1 game!) this is fine and all that should be asked for.

It's amazing how alomost every poster on this clueless board doesn't understand how significantly disadvantaged the boys were before yesterday's game. And then they had to contend with the heat after stepping off a bus after 3 hours. I'd expect even the half brains would work it out but oh no, here...

Re: Nicky Winmar suing Sam Newman and co-hosts for attempt to revise historical moment

No. No-one ever disputed the racial taunts. The old guys questioned what he said when he lifted his shirt. He says he said “I’m black and I’m proud.” They said he said something about having guts and that because it has since been reported as the black pride comment he has dined off it. Personally ...

Re: Side v Carlton

I don’t think you can keep the captain out. Geary deserves his spot in the team and I think we need his experience. On balance, I think a forward pocket needs to go so for me it’s Lonie vs Kent for Geary is the one change I’d make Kent or Lonie? Why not Gresham? He's had 1 decent game out of 4. Sta...

Not necessarily. What I meant was their recollections of the event might be influenced by what they read at the time. I wouldn't expect them to actually recall and restate where they got the info 27 years ago. In fact, I don't expect much from them at all - they're both pretty inarticulate guys so ...

Maybe Don Scott etc were just recalling what they read in the Herald Sun at the time rather than being rampant racists.
