Do you want that useless druggie Carlisle, we will throw in the useless broken down hack McCartin for free also oh and Freeman.  Between them they have played 17 games in 3 years

 

You should complain.....how about Mitch Clark, Chris Dawes and H Lumbard, ( how ever you spell it) all on big $ and on the injury list for most of there contracts....

And still.....the AFL tinker....this time with the preseason comp name....yes its true, so many reincarnations and name changes not to mention rules and game time etc etc....

 

You know if you worked for an organisation that changed its set up so often you would be right in assuming the business was about to do a Titanic....going down down down....

 

Its time they let real Business people run the biggest sporting organisation in the land down under, i personally have not taken any interest in it for years due too that fact i stated above, i mean how can you get excited about something that isn't there next year?

 

Arden St footy ground will be used this season, Norths once fortress....well they cannot be expecting anyone to be paying to see the game as the walls came down years ago its now just a reserve with a footy ground in the centre and remains grand stand...

 

No one quite knows whats going on....taking it back to the grass roots they say....

Farmer was the premier small forward going back a bit but always brought other stuff with him. Eddie has to be the best atm. Just throwing it out there...

 

Geoff Farmer wasn't anywhere as good as his reputation was...some good seasons at the Dee's after a short stint at Freo that was hardly spectacular, small forward? try Kevin Bartlet, after 300 games as a rover spent the last 100 or so playing small forward was deadly.....i seen him kick 6 on us in less that 30 min.....

 

Not to forget Lethal Lee....another rover out of puff....last 4 or so seasons as a small forward, even at five foot nothing and no spring or run left in him still managed to blitz the opposition, has the most goals per game of anyone that wasn't a full forward....

Some names there going back a bit further but agree re Geoff. His on-field demeanour always brought the better things he did undone. 

 

I love how Betts goes about his footy. Truly faultless on and off the field and more often freakish on-field. Carltank is quixotic for letting him go on that one moment where principles were elevated.

For those interested in watching the footy from Thailand.

 

There is another alternative.

 

You can access Australiaplus channel via ilikehdtv.

 

They have hourly or monthly payments. A month of their basic sports channel

is 250 Baht and you can buy coupons from 7/11's.

 

Australiaplus play the Friday night game, 2 games on Saturday and 2 on Sunday plus all of the finals live.

 

So a decent cheap option for your footy fix.

 

The only downside is that you can't pick what games you want to watch.

The normal speil "embarrassed" ummm "understands he let him self and others down", if i was the coach he'd be cleaning the toilets out until the start of the season....

 

Is that what sent Mitch Clark over the edge?

Give me Eddie any day of the week.

Last we heard about Farmer he was smashing up cars in the carpark at the casino after being kicked out of the place.

 

 

I thought it was off season, but you people have racked up about 40 posts in the last day or so.

My phone has been chirping away with new messages since sparrow fart. It's only 6 something <deleted> o'clock in Thailand, far too early to be woken by chirping!

Don't want to be racist, but <deleted> this is Thailand, home of the chocolate man, so did that club that had a policy of not picking indigenous players get it right?

 

More and more of the brothers are ending up in the courts (and jail) for increasingly violent offences. Much faster than the rate the white guys are hitting the headlines, even with Cousins racking up most of the numbers single handed.

Stabbings, axe attacks, family wars, beating the crap out of the missus, the list is a long and violent one.

I could say I pity you for sleeping with your phone, but really you have been sleeping with me and your missus does not mind!!!

 

Not sure where the problems lies but it ain't here!!

You never seem to hear from Jason Mifsud who is Head of Diversity at the AFL.

 

He was also very quiet on the Goodes saga.

 

Would like to hear him come out and address things.

Jumped on the Public Service gravy train I see.

 

Loved this bit "Mifsud, who has been the AFL's leading voice on indigenous and multicultural affairs ":blink:

 

Still on board in an advisory position I see.

Still milking the cow.

The AFL social justice gravy train is ever growing...

Luckily , when it comes to the last word on all women's issues, Gil can ask his wife and pocket her a consultancy fee

Right O........ AFL players better not get a look at this.....

 

http://www.news.com.au/sport/sports-life/cristiano-ronaldo-dethroned-as-the-top-mega-money-man-in-sport/news-story/8657b1be45c1f6ea6d01b3e008b2134c

 

Ranoldo just bagged himself a pay rise of, are you ready? really ready?....no bull here........are you sitting down? put your coffee down dont want you to drop your cup and burn yourself....his new pay deal is......$743,000 a WEEK....thats right...a WEEK....

 

Theres more, Garth Bale also of Real Madrid also secured a similar deal, Loinel Messi is in negotiations as we speak, a very good chance he will top Garth and Ron.......but wait theres more....there not the highest paid at all in Soccer...

 

Ezequiel Lavezzi.....sounds like an italian or french name......who i have never heard off unless you followed French football left Paris St Germain to play with a Chinese super league team.....at 31.......his alleged salary is   are you ready? are you sitting down? put that cup on the table.....he is on $832,000 ever single seven days.....he could own half if Melbourne within 2 years....

 

Ez has played 10 games and yet to score for his team....when he finally does it could be $10 million per goal....though to be fair he is not a striker yet he is a mid forward and for those bikkies you'd expect a goal or 2 every now and then....

 

Meanwhile back to Ronoldo...you know him well, last season i posted some pics of he and his adorable wife....with the type of mulahh he makes she can look like a model 24/7.....Forbes named him in June as the highest paid athlete on there rich list, they missed Ez....total earnings for kicking a round ball around at $US88 million and bonuses of a $US56 million and theres more, endorsement income of an additional $US32 million, that adds up to a lot of money men....around 30% of what the AFL achieved in there TV high sales bonanza that our poor AFL players are trying to get 26% of.....who need to spread it out around 200 odd players.......
