Agree, but Jimmy you are too idealistic about Law and Lawyers.

Remember the two basic laws (of mediocre lawyers)
1. Never admit you are wrong
2. You can BS as much as you want as long as you respect 1.

A. Anderson fits the mold perfectly, he must go.

Mcveigh was once the Essendon hollywood footballer, seemed to always try the spectacular, whilst forgeting the important basics. Then he went thru the "tough guy" phase, where he seemed to think he had some of Solomons dna. He's just emerging from that now, whilst having improved enormous...

Re: Analysis backs long kicking (but I disagree with conclus

My Conclusion Nerds, stick to what you do best and leave football analysis to people who actually know the game. I have to agree with your conclusion with one caveat, the nerds that concluded that umpiring had no impact on games are also poor statisticians. Stats establish "Correlation" n...

As I said above the true explosion of the Chinese economy is post 1998, so definitely not something Labor can claim credit for, however you have to be a very naive Lib to give credit to Howard for the Chinese economic boom. A completely exogenous factor in my opinion (sorry for the jargon).

Now, when you go to the voting booth, don't think to what each party has promised this year. you need to remember back to the entire 10 years. Once Howard got control of the house and Senate he screwed all of us. The only thing he has against his name is a good economy. The economy has grown becaus...

Yes the thread has gone off topic. http://www.theage.com.au/news/national/poll-gives-howard-six-of-the-worst/2007/05/20/1179601242841.html Sounds ominous for the Libs, but too early to tell. Now, back to the controversy. I consider (and I am not alone) that good English and reasonably accurate typin...

With all due respect Jimmy, this article is not about children being overweight. It is about children being overly protected, more controlled and incredibly spoiled -in both a good and a bad sense- materially and intellectually. Maybe some good simple fun is lost at the expense of increased "pr...

Even more impressive if you consider this is Nashy's first game after months on injury. Hopefully we will see Nash and Hislop in the seniors soon.

Excellent post Filth, as a man of the 50's I can relate completely. I immediately forwarded to my son who is 23 and had never been allowed failure, nor even freedom to make mistakes. It's easy to blame trial lawyers but the reality is we should blame ourselves, I remember buying my son a Nintendo wh...

Completely agree. I also liked Houli's interview on BomberTV, quite mature and articulate.

And definitely Houli's goal on his first game did much to break the prevailing gloom on Friday.

Re: What do you think he needs to do to get to the next leve

Personally, I think he'd make a terrific captain. His time will come. Let's go one step at a time, Vice-captain next year would be nice, even though the title may not matter so much. Mark is already one of the leaders, suffices to see his interactions with the "kids" at training.... The r...

Re: Last night's game- standout

I went to the game last night and left very disappointed. However, there was one stand out for me-Mark McVeigh. He seems to show such composure under pressure. He is very steady and his disposal skills are excellent. I completely agree with you Timbercote - I know my handle doesn't make me sound ve...
