Well done boys. Comments on this page have been great medicine. I think it is called laughter.

[AlexRRR]

Some one is calling on a one year ban for dusty's indiscretion...and it all started from busy body "tracy" asking a drunk Martin to quiten down, as a Sydney channel 7 employee and female she obviously thought she should take action over restaurant staff.

Perhaps she was sitting close by perhaps a lot of things but the point is it wasn't her role to straighten out a drunk patron, to top it off she called Tiger offices the following morning to dibble dob on dusty previous nights performance.

Of course any normal man would know that your not going to get far trying to talk some sense into someone consumed with alcohol she went further buy telling martin she would call his club.....the player then reacted.

Its reported Martin called the restaurant and woman the next morning and offered his apologies though its not certain if he did before shit had hit the fan by "Tracy" calling the club.

Hope this woman learned a lesson but then maybe not, she said she was very scared when dusty threatened her with a chop stick, the point is its not her role, staff of the restaurant ejected Martin over the incident that she started, up to that point it seems the only person offended by Martin's actions were Tracy.

Caroline Wilson The Age bulldog and journalist has taken this story by the teeth, rattling off a semi biased account that he should be charged by the police, this woman over dramatises most things after 10 seconds i tune out.

Big news of the day is the Mcguire and the Malthouse riff is over, seems Eddie everywhere owns the company that makes the Foxtel show The recruit, the two guys have spent an hour together as part of a group discussion, Eddie said the meeting generated more warmth between the pair..well it was 34 degrees here yesterday, Eddie says they worked through a few issues as gentlemen and as sportsmen, bottom line one is boss who's paying big the other is the employee looking for the big payout.

I am amused that they would pick Malthouse for a TV role....i mean he's personality is somewhat of a stalking black panther, I've witnessed it up close standing at a Brighton bar next to the gentleman. His manager says the show will give his client the opportunity to show the public his people-management skills and see Mick at an intimate level....this i got to see....i should buy a Foxtel subscription.

Oops!

That makes about ten times i have posted a movie review in an AFL thread

[AlexRRR]

Not into Stallone, was over him after the first Rocky show then everyone started talking like an ex boxer mafia type.

That Tv show i download the first series, haven't seen it yet rather dry but i might get into it, my brother who put me onto it tells me the second series is out as well...

I just downloaded The Man from Uncle and Mission Impossible latest/5 for the TGF....you know they like them fast and furious with little to no talking....

Which reminds me of when i was living there previous TGF asked if we could go to the movies after work one friday so i met up with her at MBK .....well you can imaging the range of movies on show there...i let her choose as it looks like i would be sleeping though it, she choose Battleship, bit like her personality, to noisey to sleep through not much talking either....she liked it and i learned something that day about what Thais like.

Last time I checked, this was the AFL forum.

I can't recall Melbourne winning an AFL premiership

[Will27]

Welcome to our cosy little subforum.

Hope you stick around.

We also have a prestigious tipping comp every year

Cynical Sailor,2 former winners are Farmerjo and myself.

I forget who won this year.

While we're on the tipping, we also have a separate tipping comp

for the finals which is even more prestigious.

Apparently, there's only been one winner.

Was it Alex?

I've heard the winner is better looking.

Victim's account will shape Richmond Tigers star Dustin Martin's punishment

Richmond's perceived failure to read the room on the day Dustin Martin's violent threat to a woman became public has emerged as one of many complexities in the troubled world in which the explosive young footballer has been known to live.

The woman, a Channel Seven producer who does not want to be named, was interviewed late on Tuesday by the Tigers' integrity officer Steve Wyatt, in a meeting held in conjunction with AFL investigators.

It will be her version of events that holds the key to Martin's ultimate penalty.

Martin will not escape punishment but the strong view of the club, backed by the AFL, is that whether the woman felt in physical danger or was the victim of an obnoxious and verbally vicious drunk will shape the severity of his punishment.

Neither alternative is palatable, but if she felt at risk of physical harm this should be a matter for the police, and Martin should be charged.

If not, the Tigers face a difficult call on how best to penalise their problem child, who they insist has not previously shown signs of violence and who the club has managed to steer through some difficult times with notable success.In an ideal world Richmond would come down heavily on Martin this week, issuing a long-term suspension of four to six weeks, similar to what Geelong and its leadership group inflicted in 2007 upon Steve Johnson.

In the same year Stevie J emerged with a Norm Smith Medal around his neck.

But this is not an ideal world. In fact, Martin's world is far from ideal, and for the Tigers he remains a week-to-week proposition. Or in the case of summer seasons past, at times a day-to-day proposition.

The entanglements of Martin's lifestyle, upbringing, emotional wellbeing and sometimes dreadful social habits have always combined to see Richmond steer away from punishment.

I heard that Melbourne brought in a rainmaker to break th drought but it was just a roose.

Thursday in Melbourne, today we get the news from the Hearald Sun since i won't pay $2-50 for the age midweek, yes i bought a copy, had an early morning appointment, came home had my coffee and read the paper in 3 min and 43 seconds, thank god it only costs $1.40.

Not much on the footy front todays guys, the Dusty saga continues, Tracey has been asked to put her views down on paper and where possible restaurant patrons have been interviews for there view on proceedings, apparently the Windsor restaurant has cameras both inside and outside but were not turned on, how interesting is that?

Media frenzy over Dusty the H sun has run a poll...theses polls are very accurate reflections of the small minded people who read the small paper every day...as you can imagine with how the americans are able to win up a storm in a tea cup over whats going on in the middle east it dosent take much to get the desired result your looking for, its a very well oiled formula and really its time journalists stood up and be counted after all there been to university and should know better than the average jo and what goes on, anyway the result was 74% of respondents say Dusty should be suspended for a year 22% say no and 4% don't know.

Woosha mulling jobe's job, well on the 7 news last night it looked like jobe's job was very secure mr woosha was smiling ear to ear and praising his captain...so somethings changed overnight...were going to have that talk soon he says....asking if jobe still has the passion to lead....yes guys just filler for the off season.

San Francisco running back and former aussie battler rugby player who's been dumped to the practice squad from a struggling team has seen the light, claiming that watching Seahwak running back Marshawn Lynch ( some cool names these yanks have) give his blockers a moment to block allowing him to walk through for his 3rd touch down for the season, pure filler once again and even i know you got to understand the guys your playing with if you want any chance to win.

Dan's $1.1 billion con front page, Dan Andrews there talking about for you guys who have been gone a long time, Victorian state Labour premier, thats how much the scraping of the freeway link that Abbot and Hocking were willing to handing over $3 billion to build, Dan came in on the platform they would scrap it and stuck to there election promise, I'm sure most Vics would have rather it go ahead than loose that much money, i mean it aint his money to throw away ralph, anyway was half a billion in costs to see if it was feasible and $600 million to the company as compo for scraping it...thank you Dan now lest put the GST up to 15% so we can claw some of that $ back.

On a lighter note Pia Miller gets a big photo shoot page 2, stunning latina and currently in one of them soapies gets to walk the red carpet seemingly alone for some forgotten aussie wards last night.....Pia is former Demon and Tiger Brad Miller's wife now separated, Brad made a poor decision letting his wife go live in Sydney and feature in that tv show, at the time they were both happy about her career taking off 2 years later they announce there splitting up, yeah well i could see that coming brad.

Aleague news is in that FFA and supporter groups have come to some mutal agreements on supporter bans, supporters stayed away from last weeks rounds even had walk outs, you couldn't organize that with AFL crowds, FAA is also lightening its grip on power seems tensions have been running high over the way the the FAA have been running the show, Tv rights are coming up and Wellington may not be in the Aleague next season, clubs have been concerned in the trend and have threaded to break away unless a compromise can be found.

Archie Thompson who is a blend of Lance Franklin and Mark Jackson, leading goal scorer and Victory stalwalt is close to resuming after a serious knee injury, be good to see this character back in the dark blue and with Melb Victory soon to be playing in the Asians champions league, with such a rigorous schedule all hands will be needed on deck.

What have we learned to day? Pia Miller is a babe.

You're too kind. I have to admit most of my favoured music comes from as the title of thread say's 50s,60s and 70s because that is the era I grew up in.

I like many styles of music and many artists but not everything by all, also like some from all era's. I did ask if the title could be changed to include other

era's but never got an answer.If there is anything that I dislike would have to say that is this rap crap shit which I know I'm an old ancient fart but for christs

sake can you call that music.

Yes ron some is good some is bad music and some people have no tastes at all did you see how ballistic the threads on touring Bon Jovie and Elton John went?

I like a lot of styles especially latin american and i like my music modern and fused like salsa/reggae reggae/hip hop etc i like some of the alternate stuff, there is the odd rap thats pretty good to, the ones that don't try and shock you or anti establishment and i don't mind some dean and frank as well as 60's and 70's.

And didn't pia look great last night?
