Still our no.1 option

just as he said.

No, but at less than $20 for a year it's one of the best deal in sport. It also comes free with some club memberships.

I disagree I thought it was good journalism. Written in plain language but to the point. I think the message was not so simplistic but more: Americans want someone who is no fool, who has charisma and who is humble enough they can trust him. Not your average nice guy, few of the recent presidents fi...

Obama is nothing short of brilliant. He is incredibly smart and can carry an audience with an articulated vision like few politicians can. He does not seem afraid to think out of the box which is refreshing. http://usliberals.about.com/od/extraordinaryspeeches/a/ObamaAIDS.htm IMHO Obama is backed by...

Totally agree with your sentiments, however, our strange match committee saw fit to give him a amazing amount of votes for him to be 5th in our B & F......ahead of Mark McVeigh, which was a total croc! Yeah, I was really surprised at the time, I refrained to comment because I had nothing nice t...

For those that did not have a chance to see the game this is now available - all four quarters on Bomber.tv

Do you think there's a spot in the 18 for Welsh? I'd personally have him at BP and have Cole competing with NLM for the HBF. based on last week form, Cole and NLM are ahead of Welsh but this is just February. I still think Welsh will make the 22 but any drop in form will see him play in the seconds...

Leading 92-43 in the fourth quarter

A very similar article, also in the Age http://www.theage.com.au/news/national/hicks-torture-inquiry-sought/2007/02/07/1170524164102.html and a very interesting comment inside that should not be overlooked " Attorney-General Philip Ruddock said yesterday that Canberra could easily have asked th...

As for Sheedy going at the end of 2007, i feel it's dependant upon results. A top 4 finish would guarantee him another contract if he chose to take it, a top 8 finish would probably do likewise, a 9-12 finish would see him under significant pressure (particularly if the Board were unanimous in thei...

yes, agree, if Carlton can win it, it cannot/shouldnot be taken too seriously, but it can be a tool to give some confidence to the players and restart a winning culture. 2006 was rough on the players.

well pevfan, you asked and now we have the answer, we have one right winger here that knows how to address issues with style and substance.

Oldie but goodie

Here is a link to the original dating back to 1994 and coming from Finland. Many jokes, look for "Cows", some are a bit different like Hong-Kong became Enron.

He is the reason BT became so shit. Not totally fair. The trouble came from the AFL top management that wanted total control on all 16 clubs website (both financial and editorial content) and avoid the legal burden of a discussion board (moderated or not) on an official website. Our club reacted un...

interesting article. "The tactics used to silence critics are diverse, including the withdrawal of government funding, threats to destroy the financial viability of dissenting organisations, appointment of party functionaries or friends to key positions, strict interpretation of laws governing ...

I like them both and I check the "Windy Hill Hangar everyday" particularly the training reports. Last year I almost gave up on BT, but I have been very impressed by what this forum has become in a few months, congrats to all those that made it happen including you Filthy. It's a case of tw...

maybe not too big. Copyright I don't know

I think the argument is quite plausible. The Howard electorate is quite diverse and in the aftermath of a Lib defeat could well fall apart; I see four groups: 1/Voters who give undue credit to Howard for their current prosperity (due IMO to external factors) and would quickly discover that labor can...

Could not resist a good "best 22" thread :wink: I don't think Nash will be ready for Round 1 even though I would like to be be wrong.. Round 1 is against Adelaide, McVeigh goes to ruck rover (Play McVeigh as BP only against elite small forwards) Only new player I am willing to bet on for r...

How did everyone go today? I got accepted into a Bachelor of Science at Monash University Clayton which is pretty cool. I hope everyone else got into what they hoped to get into and I hope I'm not the only nerd who's excited about starting Uni this year :P Congratulations, mate, this is a world cla...
