Blah-Blah Bar / Re: General Discussions
We were confronted by an intruder in our house about a year ago now. Long story but my partner was traumatised at the time and has only recently begun to get back to normal. We must get these thugs out of society but we have little confidence in our present state government.

Tell your partner they will be fine, the numbers are good.

Yep. You just gotta love stats. You can prove almost anything with them.

Plenty of very BIG egos floating around the club over the years breeding no doubt a testosterone fuelled culture. Pretty much guarantees a breeding ground for disputes where no prisoners are taken. Can be very damaging and difficult to get things done, especially if there is constant sniper fire.

I'm at the palliative care unit at the Austin watching my dad expire so for the first time in living memory he won't be watching his beloved blues go around this weekend.  Emotionally I'll have a lot riding on this game and hope we give a good account of ourselves against a side we don't normally play well against, because they think we're soft
Sorry to hear this Prof. All my best for you and yours during this tough time.

Rowell is a bit of a love child and gets looked after by the umps because he adopts a passive non aggressive attitude towards them and they like that. He gets the 50/50 decisions go his way more often than not and I feel the umps adopt a subconscious attitude that the teams who the AFL want to be successful especially the expansion teams get more of a free ride.
Cripps is always held at stoppages or illegally blocked but its allowed because of his size advantage imo and the umps give more leeway to his taggers imo.

Agree. GC were definitely getting the rub of the green imho.
