no, even the club site crashed

Wow, that was a good post Jimmy and well written, you guys are taking this to a level well beyond a friendly footy forum :wink: Fair enough, i agree we could and should devote more government spending to R&D/innovation. What does get reported quite a bit in the media is our lacklustre commonweal...

I am not ideologically anti-nuclear but I don't see a reason to deploy a difficult, capital intensive and dangerous technology at this point, this looks like the wrong decision. Definitely one should first start looking at the other obvious options such as solar. Tax breaks to encourage new homes an...

Seriously, this game is suffering at the hands of some very soft bastards in the rules committee. Please, someone with some testosterone get in there and sweep out the bullshit, and put some damn simplicity back into our game..... This interpretation and implementation (if consistently monitored) w...

but you are really hard on Spike, as Megan said he f***** up and he knows he did.

........and people seem to have forgotten Peter Jackson is off contract this year. :roll: Whats his worth to the EFC? Whats he worth on the open market? Will he want to hang around a bunch of losers? That's a real worry, losing Peter Jackson would be an unmitigated disaster. I give him a lot of cre...

No argument from me. But McVeigh did get fined last year (in june IIRC) for "intimidation" nearely headbuting the ump. Similar circumstances as Saturday, wrong call by ump that got him angry. The standards of umpiring are far from impressive, but since there is little that McVeigh alone ca...

You are right Gossy7. This is only a fairly meaningless NAB-CUP game so no big deal. However after the Allstar game 50 points win, everyone: fans, players, even coaches got all pumped up and ... now, we get beaten by less than a goal in a game that feels much like 2006, and we lose to Carlton to add...

I don't think McVeigh is either dumb or arrogant (far from it ) but he has an emotional reaction to what he perceives as injustice that is NOT working in todays AFL. Call that stupid, probably. The scenario is always something like: 1/Ump makes call (usually wrong), free against. 2/McVeigh argues ->...

Great post. I am puzzled at the total ignorance of history among "world" leaders. No, I never expected anything from Bush, but Tony Blair: a fairly well educated leader and quite smart I believed. How could he not know that the British had years of hell in Iraq in the twenties and finally ...

I think a few Russians might argue with you there Sis. They took on and beat the major enemy....Germany....and lost 30 million doing so. Well that's not totally correct, the Russian did not take on and beat the major enemy, at least not at the beginning, they started happily sharing the spoils in E...

I know you don't rate NLM (and this is your right) but 1 is fairly ridiculous. NLM was quite good last year and at least as good as Winderlich IMHO.

Actually, the way you write it now, I don't disagree a bit.

I am not a huge fan of Welsh, but you guys are overdoing it. Let's give the bloke a chance to prove that he can do better than those floaters last year. This is preseason after all, too early to bag players. Pevfan as for your question it really depends what the opposition looks like, but your point...

ditto.

but ... never underestimate Howard (dirty) campaigning ability.

good post mate, and very well written

OK Jim....question... Given we run a $1Trillion economy and we are thinking about spending $20bil (?????) on 100 F35's...maybe to be delivered in 2012, wouldn't it be better to invest that $20billion in starting our industry so that we are not beholden to overseas suppliers again? Not to mention th...

My request to post the links was to post just the links so we are not overwhelmed by text, but i do appreciate the effort, I think :) Staggy, I don't mind links but when Filthy makes the effort to outline and comment the text it is to increase readability and strengthen his point, this improves the...

This is really frightening Filth :evil: Interestingly the information why Howard (and Bush) are wrong was printed in the link Benny provided i.e. the same Murdoch paper that reported this shocking channel nine poll and the source is a good American conservative (albeit from the reasonable and educat...
