Blah-Blah Bar / Re: General Discussions
While I don't mind a "whatever comes into your mind" type of thread as Cookie said the problem will be following a topic.

I was going to use the thread to mention that I think Nick Riewoldt is quickly becoming my favourite footy media guy. It sort of led on from Baggers initial post.
But already we've moved on to a different discussion regarding the future of the game.
Now I reckon both these topics  "Media and Future of the game" are worthy of their own thread and make following that discussion easier.
Not only that, it gives a greater opportunity to get into a topic in depth.

The question is ...What do we use a General Discussion thread for....I've seen them work quite well on other sites?

They hurt more when you're becoming a good side with a chance.

Our percentage is still, over 100. You don't need a huge win in these low scoring times to bump it up by 10%. GC percentage rose 8% on the back of a 32pt win. We need a couple more thumping wins to get right up there.

Little wins...
We took 11% points off their percentage and only lost 1% from ours. ;)

Came to play last night.
Pressure was great, and led in part by young Eddie. Even if we only get the one year out of him ( I suspect it will be more) the example he'll provide going forward was more than worth the effort.
It was nice to be able to sit back halfway through the last quarter knowing the game was pretty much done and dusted.
100 points  on a 'foreign field' in the wet, with shortened game time was easily a 20+ goal performance under regular match conditions.
The most satisfying thing was that we had few passengers and lots of strong contributors especially amongst some of our more maligned. These guys just have to find some consistency and the critics will soon drop off.

Blah-Blah Bar / Re: CV and mad panic behaviour
As an old Albury-Wodonga boy (I lived on both sides of the river many years ago) I'm wondering why they didn't start the restrictions/crossing/'border' north of Albury. The cross border traffic is considerable but most folks are just going from Albury to Wodonga or back the other way.

(Edit: Sounds like they're on to it.) :D
