On again off again.....on again and called this time.....Operation Zebra....Newcastle United in talks of being sold again, Ashley the unpopular owner WILL sell eventually, Magpies they are my pommy team only because Mark Vidudca sorry for the spelling played for them, saga it has become, joke of the league end of last year they were, didnt start recruiting till the last weeks of the transfer season and have defied logic with a turn coat manager and a bare bone squad sit around mid table....its said new owners WILL inject 200 Million assuming pounds into the team again assuming they get the deal done fast as there isnt much time left in this window.....NEWCASTLE has one of the best fan bases and grounds outside the say top 6, its been a no brainer for a long time this is the next big mover and shaker in the Premier League.....Meanwhile Woodward continues to rack up bad karma over his GMing Man United.....Olie the saviour is now spoken in past tense....... just a matter of time....ex Spurs boss with a name so long I cant ever write it is hot to takeover end of season...well it depends which sports paper you read, its claimed he wont take the job as long as Woodward has anything to do with recruitment......The special one "Jose" is having a mixed time at Spurs, press quick to claim he shames some players....I dont buy into that by the way....more trophies than the Legend thats Norm Smith, bigger then Ben Hurr....that dont happen if you dont know how to run footy teams sir....ps Spurs use to be my team way back so I still have a soft spot for them....

 

Melbourne of course

Collingwood as there well coached

Tigers its a no brainer.....

Eagles and not because of Tim Kelly.....they sold there soul we thought but wait for when Luke Jackson is out of contract in a few years and Nic Nat is just a shell, well he isnt much chop anyway anymore.....has shares in the local hospital these days...Luke WILL be a superstar ruck forward with Eagles offering up 10 years of first round pics to get him home.....Swans WILL be doing there darnedest to nab him too since they dont have a good track record of developing talls....the man has indicated he WILL play first round....thats confidence and was only at the club 2 days when he spat that out.....

Bulldogs

Hawks.....there my top six and not in order, expecting Dee's to slot in around 4th...

 

The Irishman the Netflex movie is getting a lot of good press....3 hrs long watched it on the flight over, download to tablet bless Netflix heart...was it as good as there making out? well.......im a hard man to please....it kept me interested, I would say its well done, not to blood thirsty...what got me was.....Bobbie De Niro is already older than me....he would be around 70 surly....sorry guys even with a few face lifts over the years in my eyes they still struggled to make him look 35 then 40 then 45.....and making it real is the point for me...so if I over look that id give it a 8/10 taking that into mind its 6.5/10...... like Bob is a great actor for sure ive enjoyed most of his movies and lets not forget Taxi Driver shall we..I have it on blue ray somewhere....but making a grand dad look like his grand child dont wash with me....

 

Reading Apple news today so no links.....James Packer throws GF Kylie Lim a 40th birthday party...the guy is slipping....shes 40.....whats wrong with him? Only 12 years his junior....shes not bad of course...I mean I wouldnt crawl over her to get at you WILL....nice big mouth too....so James and I have something in common and its not money....her skirt is falling off her ....hips.... barley able to hold it up....and with sunnies hanging from said light blue skirt says she's got style....though she's missed a few appointments at the hairdresser, with his money she should do something about her long hair....im not a fan of letting your blonde hair grow out....get it fixed honey......ive lost track of James and his women....sooooo many...glad he didnt keep Myria...how ever you say...waiing witch she is....one song only I can bear...and she's a tub of lard these days...I did think he could do better at the time, Kylie is like a 200% upgrade....

 

Well here is Willie Rioli in Apple news.....posts a sorry looking pick of him over Aussie Day...wish these Korries would realise that its a day for the immigrants not invaders...take it up with Eliz in London...most of us paid our way here, well my parents did...The world is full of stories of natives been hard done by and if it was left up to me mate I would have left u naked with spear in hand and running round central and north Aussie...you can have it....but of course you like the fast car the posh house the overseas travel....Korries had no currency just skins...and Jetstar dont accept Kangaroo hides for payments of flight tickets Willie....Annyway if the Eagles could see this pic they would hire a wardrobe assistant for him...extremely untidy look with 2 size larger white t-shirt on featuring a heart koirri flag in one half and god knows what is in the other half...stupid black and red cap, grey hoodie cardigan he pinched off Nick Nat, and lighter grey trakkie dakkies....you wouldnt think this guy is on 500,000 $ plus a season if you could see him....And no I dont support changing the date of AU day what I support is educating native Australians what the actual day means, it should be about solidarity of all who live in Australia....and them in Thai...

 

Do you think Trump WILL get kicked out of office? the joke that is impeachment is a joke of course, Republicans have stated they wont vote him out....so why are they bothering to put Trump on trail? He is already odds on favourite to win a second term, the more bad press he gets actually bolsters his chances, lets face it the electorate likes a naughty boy with a big mouth even when half is pure bullocks....

 

49ers WILL play KC Chiefs next week in the superbowel......the all-round 49ers up against the fast hitting Chiefs who can score at WILL...I hope the 49ers win but wont mind the Chiefs at all....50 year drought for them, wonder boy Mchomes you aint seen nothing like him....walks like hes gay hair like a real mop mulata he appears, can throw it from any angle and this been his 3rd season WILL becoming off his rookie contract ....if they gave Cousins 30 plus a season this guys is worth 30% more....

 

Adam Trelor to wed netballer Kim......she is a sweetie for sure though didnt look good in her red evening gown pictured here, looks very hot in her Parker though pretty good on the beach too...no not in swim suite....Adam on the other hand has them sort of eyes that like burn a hole through you with a strained smile hes learned to use since being made captain....pottered we find out later hence the marriage proposal....engagement ring is a bit small for someone close to earning a million a season....ummmm

 

 

Whoa!

 

Have you considered adjusting your Yaba dosage downwards old fella?

Hey Rip, good to chat to you again

 

North as a smokey Top 5 eh?  Where do you see their improvement coming from?

I always like  a roughie. It was the Swans or Norths.

 

Anything can happen in the season.

You've obviously been away:smile:

I feel quite angry about situations like this.

The AFL has a responsibility for the welfare of it supporters and Alex has suffered mental anguish and torment for more than 50 years as a Dees supporter. 

When a new dawn looked to he beckoning its golden arms, hope has been cruelly crushed and beaten to the ground.

And what of the future? It looks as dire and grim, forlorn and barren, as th last 50 years. Another decade or two of grinding crushing loss after loss.

Is it any wonder that some long term Melbourne supporters get themselves a substance addiction: all they want is a taste, the sweet savouring of success and victory. And decade after decade they are denied.

And the AFL keeps on feeding the beast: dealing the Dees supporters an unplayable hand. 

Sometimes the pain just has to be numbed.

Well I wouldnt say the AFL didnt help the Demons sir....they did push the old lot out and stick in Jackson to oversee the joint, in the end you can lead an old horse to water but it wont ever win the Melbourne cup....

 

As for the disappointment of football as it is for me I get high on people watching here in BKK, as you know my fav coffee shop Mr Books as you have ventured there too....I spy with my eyes beauties that walk by....and the photos I sent to you today of said beauty that I was perving on from behind as I was walking to the MRT this morning...legs up to her neck and so were her micro shorts was just as stunning from the front as from behind....its a pass time we both enjoy though your far more brazen than I taking pics of women during people watch hour than i....

This is the photo you sent me ... As stunning from the front as behind?

 

A well known side-effect of supporting Melbourne while popping the happy pills is delusion

The Demon review.....and a pretty good one...they key to last years demise was by all accounts the lack of a fit and firing May, injuries to Jetta, Melksham and he should not be overlooked, the key to a potent forward line, attacks across half forward and centre lines a long kick and often very accurate, Tom Mac carrying an injure all year and the lack of stepping up by the big Weed who was expect to step up along with Brayshaw and Viney both putting in ordinary seasons then of course the lack of a pre season across the board for more than 50% of the team...id like to add the quality of the coaching as well, not one trick did they win all year, Trading our only outside mid to North wasnt smart either though he got lost over there and did zero...

 

Doesn't matter how you look at last season they never got going they never won a position long enough, not one bright moment all year long.

 

Injuries?????? factor in the first half for sure the second half of the season spoke of the coaching.....daggers abound end of season, escape goats were made but Simon........ all eyes are on you now....

 

So where to now? There appears to be enough quality there and I liked the suggestion that Tomlison a big body should play defence and realise Salem for the wing though hes played defence so long might be all at sea at least for a while, Ive never seen Salem as staying a defender but the years keep rolling by, he was given G Lyons number because he was seen as a key position forward mid....apart from a resemblance of the man not including he ozzzzed buckets of class ....

 

And that hibernated dude...still cant get over his last kick of the season, stick him in defence or over at Casey....for me this would be his last season...

 

Trade bait North with Spargo....they love that name over there....hes going to have to lift his game this year as Pickett WILL surely be ready to play around round 1, Luke Jackson has said he will play round one so again the Weed has got some work cut for himself.....im tipping the step up of the Weed this year because of Luke with the Pies circling for a trade come trade time.......

Not entirely true. Pretty amusing for non demons supporters watching on. ????????

 

Jeez mate, I'm surprised you are also playing the injury card. There isnt a team in the comp that didn't have half a dozen major injuries

KhunWill @Will27 what do you think of the Alex Rance situation?  Retired and now a possible comeback.

The conspiracy rumour is he retired just before his divorce announcement to alleviate some divorce payout and help Richmond stay under salary cap. Now retired only a small portion of his salary stays under the cap.

Should he retire his salary can be renegotiated lower, while a rich Tigers supporter tips him up with cash and future work opportinities to make up for the salary and avoid divorce settlement... just a rumour of course ????????

I know you were a big fan of Alex and his career, love to hear your or anyone elses insight

Lets not get drawn loooooooong over this...15 senior players under the knife with interrupted preseason, well documented young man.....its not an excuse from me as most should have run into match form by mid year, the coaching stank from where I sat, also well known was assistant coaches had been moved around, example was former Hawk forget his name had been moved from forward coach to Casey then brought back around round 15 to the forward line with an instant spike that fizzled out and so it goes....

 

Lets talk Freo and how they stink too...or Swans and what they didnt do....and Eagles how they couldnt back it up...

 

Ive been saying it all along, when backs to the wall Demons do not fight, they should replace the red yoke for a wide yellow single strip that runs down the back...pussys they are pussys they remain....

 

AAAAAAAAnd in brighter news this morning........Trump under weight of new evidence is still winning hands down in the popularity states....he I would like to see running the Dee's. like we couldnt get worse and fake news and bullocks seems to spur the fans on....

 

Watched Green Zone last night, I downloaded it long ago never seen it along with the 1000 or so other movies I grabbed while I could and ended up watching It on Netflix, was good until the end...this is were decent movies end up insulting my intelligence, this crippled Iraqi could keep up with fit commando style US special forces hunting for a book and a general and shoots the general stone dead then tells Mat Damon its our war or country or something...anway if you recall its about WMD Bush used as an excuse to invade Iraq in the first place, never found of course as they never existed and it was Mat or Marks job to find them who was getting disillusioned with chasing shadows and so it goes...little bit like the MFC...And of course no one was brought forward to give the public a decent account of what went wrong with the intelligence reports on WMD again a bit like the MFC...

 

https://www.nzherald.co.nz/sport/news/article.cfm?c_id=4&objectid=12304170 Unlike the NFL who act in solidarity, Folau has signed to play Rugby League with a French club, like he is a naughty boy with the brain the size of a Phuket peanut expat brain, I dont know.....did they get him cheap? I doubt it, look if you want to stick you neck on the block be prepared to get it chopped off....He's entitled to his opinion but the fact he is a sporting hero his opinion carries more weight, people take notice especially kids, its the wrong message being sent out hope all the French wine turns to vinegar this year....

 

In a surprise move over night https://www.theage.com.au/sport/soccer/salvachua-makes-history-with-victory-s-asian-champions-league-win-20200129-p53vmk.html Spanish intern coach of Melb V guided the club to a win in Japan to qualify for the Asian champions league, Victory has never won away in this fixture and is the first Aussie club to win in Japan in 5 ys.....

 

https://www.theage.com.au/sport/afl/afl-players-to-debate-potential-pay-cut-to-reduce-gambling-advertising-20200128-p53vca.html I tip my hat to the boys....yes im loathed to see gambling adverts especially during games, again kids are growing up thinking its un Australian if you don't have a bet....can you believe that? was actually said in one aired commercial...

 

https://www.smh.com.au/business/companies/facebook-will-now-show-you-exactly-how-it-stalks-you-20200129-p53vna.html Well well well....my life's boring just like most here, I got nothing to hide and no im not embarrassed if the world knows I visit porn sites from time to time, the fact at my age I still can get it up would surprise some but I assure you Im not in Thailand just for the Pad Thai and lousy beaches, apart from my sense of humour I have nothing to be ashamed of or anything to hide...what you see is what you get....so I dont mind FB collecting data on me as im a totally boring person to begin with, they will see I log into several dating sites daily, well that is now past, I closed then while here....I just cant say anymore "nice too meet you" "how are you today" when 70% reply "im fine" ( few ever add how about you?) Thai women dont have great social skills cant think past there make up bag and only one TGF could actually hold a discussion with me thats the purple iPhone woman who still hasn't gerried I was in BKK when I sent her the details on where she could buy.....

 

FB would see I been trying to google Webber BBQ's,, they cant influence me where to buy as I WILL buy from the good guys as I dont have much faith in Harvey Norman....FB WILL also notice ive looked at sites to get my GTI lowered, have the springs need a mechanic, im guessing my mechanic WILL do the deed if he can do it soon after I return...Meetup...yes been in it for years but I became rather boring and appeared anti social which is appearance yes but im far from anti social though people in general give me the poos....I have some standards that most fail to live up too hence my reluctance to mix these days.....but a new leaf is being turned I WILL push myself to meet up with ratbags, made 2 booking for dinner with music events on my return, the beauty of the live music is after a few hours I wont have to talk to these bores.....

 

Looked up Pattaya as you do when you turn a new leaf.....the new thinking is short holidays near water with maximum pleasure and as Mayer Hawthorne says with "No Strings Attached" actually WILL do a trail run before I head home.....and no adverts WILL not affect me as normally I have a very clear idea on what im doing....I dont get swayed....

 

Googled Iguazu falls in Argentina im hoping to go there this year if my knee WILL hold out, wind cheater girl is keen on coming too, we had a bet going if she lost some weight she could travel with me (i pay of course) and if she reached goal she could choose...im now trying to back track from the deal...no I have no fear she WILL reach goal weight even its just 7kgs but she's been pushing hard for a 2 kgs drop to travel free with me and even I like the girl and paid 900B for her steak last Saturday night im just a little bit over the free rides I been giving Thai women...and a case in point is....one who said I was cute last month offered to pay for lunch or dinner next time we met and we met up on sunday, and when the bill came did I see her dive into her bag for her purse? No I did not, she asked me to get her a snack while in Phillipines so I did since it was just going to cost me $1.50, I forgot to take it with me when we were meeting....I ate it last night....shes expecting it next time.....if she has a memory like some ageing folk here better in my tummy than hers....So Argentina I WILL book through Flight Centre no doubt as Sth America isnt an easy destination and maybe just maybe depending on my mood and how good wind cheater girl looks I may offer her a ticket but my thinking is to ask my daughter along, 3 kids, she may not be able to take up my offer and no im not offering her kids to come with us.....

I'm not sure what to make of things BM.

 

Obviously all tied up in his religion and separation. 

I know it's usually pretty hard to get divorced as a JW,

so don't really know what's happened there.

 

Personally, I don't think he'll be back.

He knows Jeremy McGovern has overtaken him as the leagues best

backman (and pie eater).

Who is the more handsum man out of Rance and McGovern?

Rance looks like a movie star.

Gov looks like a chubby tradie who would be flashing the brickies smile every chance he got.

 

That's when him and Tommy Barrass aren't giving it the Harry Highpants pose.

It would be hard to grab McGovern by the neck looking at that photo ... there isn't one.

 

Rance certainly had the hair and the looks and the golden boy smile , plus he could play okay too.

Why bring WC into this?


I'm happy with the flag 2 years ago, in what a lot of people described as one of the greatest

grand finals of all time.

 

WC average a flag about every 8 years which is fine by me.

Not that I'm not greedy and want more of course:smile:

 

Very well run club is West Coast

Reminds me of Ben Cousins before he became a drug <deleted>.

Movie star looks, magnificent physique ( a bit like yourself BM), a jet player and loaded as well.

Pretty much the whole package.

TBH, if WC don't win it, I don't really care as long as Richmond don't.

They've had their fare share lately.

 

We had a Richmond supporter lurking around the forum last year.

I don't know where he went.

 

Fair to say that he didn't have any rockets in his backyard though.

This is turning out to be a nightmare trade for the Dockers.

 

 

From @freodockers on Hogan:
Fremantle forward Jesse Hogan is taking leave away from the club so he can deal with mental health challenges.
“Jesse needs time away from the club so he can manage mental health challenges that he is dealing with and focus on his general wellbeing”
