The Sports Desk / May vs Pac
Personally I thought Pac had it, May's left jabs many that were nothing more than defensive pushes shouldn't count!
This pic says it all!
Boxing is in a very sad state when you can win by running away!

Robert Heatley Stand / Our "Line in the Sand" moment!
No more, it can't be tolerated, it's time for our Line in the Sand game.
Quote from: wikipedia
Hawthorn players were allegedly directed at half time, by Club Director Dermott Brereton who played for the Hawks during the 1980s and early 1990s, to "draw a line in the sand"[1] and take a physical stand against the Bombers to make it clear that they wouldn't take the intimidation any longer. Brereton denied the allegation but admitted to advising senior players "to stand up to any Essendon aggression".[2]
Win, lose or draw, a statement needs to be made!
There is no better opponent to make this stand against than the Cheating Kents!
I suspect the Dawks will make a statement about EFC this weekend!

Robert Heatley Stand / 2011 to 2015 comparisons
I agree that our boys melt whenever challenged. That was evident under Ratten and still continues to this day under Malthouse. However I see the workrate thing as a separate issue. And both I think are related more to on-field leadership than off.
Really, we melted under Ratten, are you sure?
As I recall we made the 2011 SF only to lose by 3 points in a Perth SF against West Coast. No doubt we were inconsistent, but melting, hardly!
Furthermore, we had the odds against us in that game with some heavily "influenced" umpiring going down! The ideal circumstances for a meltdown team to meltdown, but we came back!
It appears back then we were a hell of a lot closer to success than we are now!
And all that with a list that was apparently NFG and perhaps even inexperienced at the time!

Robert Heatley Stand / Simon White - 2015
He hasn't played 50 games yet, mostly due to injuries, so we have only ever had glimpses of what he can do. But when fit he looks more than capable of mixing it with the best in the league.
For example, here is a head to head between White, Tuohy, Everitt and Casboult. Keeping in mind White and Tuohy play mostly back which naturally attracts less rating points.
FinalSiren
White's record doesn't justify the beating he cops!

Robert Heatley Stand / 2015-Rnd 2 West Coast vs Carlton
In;
Whiley, Armfield and one of Graham / Ellard.
Wood probably did enough to stay in, although he may not travel to WA and if so Warnock comes in.
Outs Daisy obviously, Tuohy might struggle, Smith isn't fit enough yet.

The Sports Desk / T20 vs ODI vs Test
For me there is space for all three forms of the game as they are quite different, but it's is not clear to me they will all thrive.
T20 is a great short form game, good for families, TV and sponsors. But I am not sure it will survive as we see more of the tricks learned in T20 brought into ODIs. Is T20 destined to become redundant?
ODIs seem to be the mature option for cricket lovers even the T20 starters. I appreciate you still get dud ODIs, but when you have a bloke in great form batting why would I want to watch them bat for a maximum of 20 overs, when I can have a full innings to observe? Those big hundreds in ODIs at good strike rates are spectacular, better than stuff coming out of T20 in my opinion.
Test is the pure form of the game, the best the bowlers can offer against the best the batsmen can offer. I think test is where the bowlers have a chance to show their full range of talents and for that reason I suspect it will remain the premier form of the game that cricket lovers migrate towards.

Robert Heatley Stand / 2015- Rnd 1 Carlton vs Richmond- Pre Game
WTF hasn't our club website got a massive countdown clock running. Lets get one up and running on the front page here if they failed to get with it!
DD:HH:MM:SS.SSSSS
We are the big show of the AFL season opener, the rest are just a sideshow!

Blah-Blah Bar / Ban the Drones
Overnight Paris gets harassed by swarms of drones over their city, the military use more and more of them. Gutless turds spy on women, I wouldn't even hesitate to assume some pedophile somewhere is using one to case their next victim. Even AFL clubs are using them to spy on each others training, pity they didn't watch EFC more closely!
FFS people, we banned fireworks because kids were losing fingers, eyes and hands, do we have to wait until one of these devices is directly linked to a death before the world acts.
You know it's going to happen, so why not just get rid of the fecking things now?

Blah-Blah Bar / Is it really Troll like?
Recently a number of high profile "Celebs" have come out and attacked Twitter and Facebook because "trolls" or "petty" individuals have exposed the falseness of the celebrity profiles!
Point in case, Beyonce and Iggy Azalea, both profit from portraying their image as toned and flawless beauty, alabaster or caramel skin stretched over cheeks(faces as smooth as silk and butts that crack walnuts).
But reality it seems is different;
Not so flawless!
Not so tight!
Profiles exposed to be false in forums like Twitter and Facebook, yet the Celebs claim it's the posters who are petty and troll like.
Surely if the Celeb profile wasn't so fake the opportunity to tear down their hollow facade would never exist in the first place?
Are these Celebs becoming victims of their own deceit and complaining about it, have they heard about biting the hand that feeds them?
Apologies for wasting your time!

Blah-Blah Bar / Darren Jolly
I hope it turns out to be nothing more than at worst a bit of scar tissue and he can quickly get back to life as usual.
Even better I hope the reports are bogus and he hasn't even had the surgery!

Blah-Blah Bar / Can Derek Jeter's life get any better?
I suppose he could find himself a better missus, this one's as fugly as a hat full!
Lifes tough at the top!

Blah-Blah Bar / He Showers a Lot!
Naya is at a loss when it comes to understanding why her man Ryan showers so many times a day!
Quote from: Naya Rivera
“But I’m now married to a white man. And he showers a lot, like two, three times a day,” she said of husband Ryan Dorsey.
I think I've worked it out, and that sign in the background is no coincidence!
Life truly is stranger than fiction!

Blah-Blah Bar / I'm Calling it Bullsh1te!
Please use this thread to expose any significant episodes of non-football bullsh1te you come across.
For an opener, full pun intended, here is bullsh1te personified.
Plastic people living plastic lives and profiting at the expense of everybody else!
Reminds me of the Playschool theme;
There's a (crooked)stair in there
and a chair as well
People at play
and stories to tell
open wide,
come inside
It's play school!
or even this ditti
What a scam
what a scam
what a scam
what a mighty good scam
what a mighty mighty good scam
Maybe the publicist's will claim that the fat-ar5e broke the stairs, or that her butts massive gravitational attraction has warped (thigh)space!

Blah-Blah Bar / MM nominates Richo, McGuire and Caro
Lets see if they have what it takes to step up and and deliver, two are some of footballs biggest egos and the other is just a giant!
