My collarbone surgery recovery has been set back 6 weeks, and has all but ruled me out for the whole season. It feels ok though, which is the most annoying thing.
Did you injure yourself or something?
You would have thought someone on here would've said something...

Not my fault Im a media magnet. Some say Im the Johnny Manziel of SAFooty...

.......most do not....

If things go our way in the A grade this could be the third year in a row you miss a GF. From not being good enough to being too good and now being injured!

Yeah thanks mate. I am aware

People blatantly lying at work when they've made a mistake. Almost lost my shit at someone. Had to just reply in monotone "yep"s while staring directly at my monitor, coz if I looked at her it would've been "on".

He's not "doing us a favour". He's getting paid to umpire. Exactly the same as the umps in the A's. So by your logic, no one can "sh=t pot" any umpire, ever.

Thats Boosh's opinion. He has lots of them, and most are pretty spot on.

I dont have time for lunch today...so you sir, are a ****!

What's everyone's thoughts on gouchos? (Sp?)

Been there twice I think. Altho expensive as hell some bloody mean steaks

I went to Gauchos for EOFY dinner when I was doing a traineeship at a financial planning firm when I was 18. The directors (husband and wife outfit) thought they were pretty fancy (they lived at Greenacres and drove a Camry) and I hated them with all my heart.

Anywhooo...myself and the top accountant had a competition who could rack up the biggest individual bill for the dinner. I ordered a steak that was around $80 and smashed the $14 Coronas all night. I think it was pretty close in the end, but he would've won. Would've been about $250+ each.

The steak was awesome, except the only topping was huge chunks of garlic. No sauce, no nothing.

Caught the train home from city to Smithfield train station at midnight on a Friday night, alone and drunk. Never have I had a more carefree train ride ;)

Thats my story anyway.

I think it would be about even all the way through history. The only difference now is thats its easier to interact with more people these days with social media. So instead of only talking to people you actually meet, you are talking to sometimes hundreds of people you dont know every week, and its much easier to tell someone what you actually think of them over the internet, with little to no consequences.

I know when me and spargo meet in real life, he's too scared to talk shit about me like he does on here, coz obviously I would drop him

Just accidentally dropped some toilet paper "buttered side down" on the toilet seat...if you know what I mean

I thought about just leaving it there like most of the filthy **** that use it would've.....but then cleaned it up....

Im too polite some times.

I am doing a bachelor styler elimination to cut people.
I give an invite to people that can come and if you don't get an invite please return to the Datsun 120Y

We did a "Homer coaching Bart's gridiron team" type thing.

"Nan, you're cut!"

"Cousin, you're cut!"

"Bride, you are soooo cut!"

Just saw on FB that Junior Valleys has been born and both mum and bub are doing well

Has anyone ever organised an SAFooty meet'n'greet before?

I think it would go something like this...



@johno6 @woodublieve12 @spargo

I've been told Semaphore Road has some good places too. I'm gonna go broke coz we're just around the corner.

Was waiting for the review, last I heard the Mrs was ordering your brekky and then......*crickets*

:lol:

I got the big breakfast, and just started to recover from it. No joke, I didnt even have tea that night because I was still full.

The usual suspects, bacon, scrambled eggs, sausage, the best mushies ive ever had, tomato, and some inch and a half thick bread. With a hot mocha on the side. Couldn't ask for a better start to the day.

I reckon Haven's might finish Minor Premiers....

He definitely seeks out people with disabilities to show on tv. He probably does talk to intelligent people, but those interviews will never go to air because people won't laugh at people similar to themselves. People are ****, and are always up for laughing at people less fortunate than themselves.

Sams a rich, semi-intelligent guy. He openly thinks he is better than most people, so of course he's going to seek out people that make him look even better when he stands next to them, and mock them. He's a cockhead.

To me its pretty simple Don't like it don't watch it. Majority of the people on Street talk have a smile on their face, no signs of bullying to me.

This is pretty much my point. Plenty of other stupid shit out there too of you care to look.

Im not outraged. Its just my opinion that happens to be different to yours.

You never know how much shit these people cop afterwards from family, friends, and other people they come into contact with.

I dont watch it because I dont find it entertaining. The only part i like is Almost Footy Legends. I have a problem with that too, because the best display of talent never wins, its always the ump getting hit in the nuts by the footy.

The best footy show at the moment is Talking Footy (on free to air). I actually dont mind Darc in it.

That hasnt been commented on in 2 hours. Stop living in the past, man

Waiting for stuff to arrive from ebay shits me. I know I'll have to wait, but it still annoys me.

Also, the little "sent" thingo on ebay not coming up in a fast enough time frame shits me too.

On Sunday we had our eldest daughters 2nd birthday and when we bought out the cake. We were looking for the candles when the spaz pipes up and says "how many candles will you need". See what I'm dealing with people!!!!
Should've said 34 candles :D

For her birthday you should get her a pair of scissors. She seems like the type of girl that likes scissoring stuff... ;) ;) ;) ;) ;)

Q. wrote:Is volunteering dead?

I think the problem would be most households need both parents to work to make ends meet, so there's less mums with time to volunteer like the good old days.

placebo?

like the missus, push a whole of of buttons and nothing happens

depends which buttons....when i push the wrong ones...look out...

while on that....how good would it be to have Street Fighter type directions for special moves when pressing the "right" buttons.

down, down, left, right, square, triangle.........HA-DO-KAN!!!! ;)

These are the best "leaked" celeb pics yet i reckon.

Put baby oil in your ear....apparently, that'll fix 'er right up.

Luke McDonald was robbed. Kept his spot all year and played well in a team that made finals, while the other 6 of the top 7 played for dud teams where of course they would stand out.

The other 6 might have played better with better players around them?

No disrespect to the kids, but I don't think this award means that much, certainly won't dictate the status or $ contracts they reach by the end of their careers.

What they "might" have done shouldn't come into it. It's what they did do.

I guess it doesnt matter that he didnt win. Im happy to have someone like him playing for my team.

Some great highlights there HH3, if he keeps that sort of effort and commitment up he'll play alot of AFL. I can see why you're a fan of him as you're a similar type of footballer.

Haha, just do what I can mate. Just do what I can.... ;)

I've been up since 3am to watch the NFL, so most days if I've been up 8 hours, its 3pm....not today. Gonna struggle after lunch.

Cool. What did they say it was?

As Im obviously not up to speed with the lingo, Im not exactly sure what he was saying. The part I did understand was "yeah, it looks like it's something on our end"...I'll take his word for it.

They've booked someone to come out to have a look anyway, but he's gonna try to solve it from his end first if he can. Then just cancel the call-out if its fixed in time.

Id say there's some chance...

You know who has no chance???

Geelong. Coz they're gaaawwwwnnnn!!!

If the umpires are being instructed to not give Lindsay Thomas frees because of who he is, its a ******* disgrace. Not dissimilar to match fixing.

They should be totally impartial, look at the guernsey, not the player, and pay ANY free they see. Who committed and whoever it was committed against should have absolutely no bearing on if its paid or not.

Fair enough he staged, but thats when the umps shouldnt have given him frees. They can't just try to even things up after the fact. Where's the integrity in that.

Adams contractor came out yesterday and told me it was a Telstra problem.

Telstras contractor came out today, was here for 20 mins, worked on something across the road, and our speed went from 800kbps to 7.6mbps. THEN he said to call Adam coz they have reduced our speed to keep us with at least some internet. After 15 mins on the phone we now have 13mbps.

130% improvement...im happy with that!!! :)

I have no problem with what Roo said. If it's ok for the player to not committ (even if it's just verbally in the media) then why not the club.

Coz the player isnt out of contract til the end of NEXT season. Roos talking about trading him this year. Imagine if Danger said "im gonna leave after next season" He'd be dogging the club in their eyes. There'd be talk of not playing him coz he's not committed to the club, yadda yadda.

Please Morell, move on mate, worry about your own club, every topic you bring up Clg, if you put as much effort as you do bagging us into your own club, I can actually see a future for Mitchell park, but the rumours I heard on the weekend it could be a real struggle for Mitchell park, which would be a shame because there are some good people there! Pull your head in and put in some work.

Morning Scottroo,

Any reason on why you have moved on your coach mate after getting you up a division last season and nearly doing the same this season?

Seems a bit weird to move on someone so passionate for your club.

Whats the official line?

This is a performance based industry, and after their end of season review, the senior players got together with their CEO and board members and only talked about their pub, and then somehow the coach got sacked.

If I had a dollar every time time a forward said that when he couldn't get a kick..,.

If you kick 100, you're surely playing around about the right spot. Whats he want? To play back pocket?

If you kick 100, you're surely playing around about the right spot. Whats he want? To play back pocket? I heard that he wanted to play more midfield as a bit of an injection, especially when they were getting beat in the middle, but was kept cold all day in the goal square.

I kind of agree, you put your best players where the ball is IMO, especially if you need something out of the box and extra especially (?) if they're struggling up forward. If you're getting beat in the guts having Lance Franklin at Full Forward won't win you the game.

This is all hearsay however.

Kept cold in the goal square? When I saw him play, he sat around CHF 90% of the day.

Coach is there to coach, players there to do what the coach tells him to do. If you can't follow instructions, and wanna play your own game, don't play team sports.

morell wrote:Really? I think it should be to win

oh yeah my bad. coaches dont need to come up with successful structures and make sure they're carried out.

before games coaches just need to walk in and tell the players to win, and watch the magic happen. easy.

Managing individuals doesn't mean if a player thinks he's above the other 20 players in the team on the day, he can pick and choose what positions he plays.

Thats like me sitting at back pocket and watching our forwards struggling, then just moseying up and having a crack up forward coz i think i would do a better job.

That shouldn't happen. Thats why the coach has the magnet board, and not the players.

From the outside looking in id say the team/individuals were managed pretty well considering the key forward kicked 117 goals, and the team made the Prelim in its first year in a tougher division, 12 months after playing off in a GF (be it unsuccessful).

Seems like the coach knew what he was doing (from the outside looking in, which is what you're doing too)

You say "after consultation with the leadership group and coaches"...

Surely if this situation actually did happen, and I dont know if it did, coz the only person saying it did is you, who heard it secondhand apparenly, the forward in question would have said at least something to the coach/leadership group, and they must have said NO. end of discussion. they didn't trust that with his fitness, etc that he would be able to turn the game by being in the middle.

Also, hopefully you coach and get some egotistical players in your team, coz once you let one dictate where they play and when, you will generate a fair bit of disharmony in the playing group unless they're all mates, and agree on which position every player should be playing at any given time. There's only so many midfield positions, and if you have 5 senior players wanting to fill the 3 on-ball position (ruck excluded obviously) what are you gonna do?

Let them all go in? Nope. Coz thats a free the other way.

Let them work it out on the field? Maybe, but what if they don't like each other that much and it causes tension and arguments, while the games in the balance and emotions and adrenaline are high? Could be trouble.

Let the coach make the decision, take the brunt of the heat from the players, and keep the actual playing group on the field as unified as possible? I would. Maybe you would try something different, and thats fine.

This is all hypothetical coz this may not have even happened.

Im done too, I have work to do.

Whos marrying them?

Our celebrant went through what she has to read out that they can only marry a man and a woman. Its law that she has to read that part out, and there's no alternative but to get the celebrant to add "but this couple fully support gay marriage" or some shizz like that.

But i guess coz its not gonna be a binding wedding, it doesnt matter who does it.

Some celebrant is doing it... It's called a committment ceremony! My dog could do the ceremony for free and it would have the same meaning...

Apparently this couple has invited a good friend to their honeymoon... Which my mum and law has paid for... So she is pretty much getting a free ride...

Hang on.....a friend on the honeymoon? Is this friend female? Is this friend also a fan of the V?

Might swing that one by the missus for ours....... ;) ;)

Pretty sure there was a thread not that long ago about this.

Coulda just been in a whinge thread though

I wish I went to that one....

i wish i went to that one :(

woulda been good if you did. I didnt know a single person there. very awkward when you don't know the bride and groom. the bride grew up with my missus. I could tell the groom was not stoked about funding my feed and numerous beers. I felt his eyes on me all night. :lol:

OK Booney, I've kept my end of the bargain and ventured over to the Port, I expect to see a Boon family report on The Parade or Unley Rd ...

I'm not overly comfortable any where near The Parade, it's an odd, unnerving place to be.

Unley on the other hand, is just odd. I'll give one of them a go....

I agree. Toffee nose mother****ers!
