Just count ourselves lucky.

We've got the Redbacks during winter talking up recruits, saying how the year ahead looks to be full of promise.

Imagine if you followed Glenelg and had a summer full of talking up new recruits, saying how the year ahead looks full of promise.....lucky for us we don't, hey lads? :D

I think the AFL landscape has changed in the last 6-8 years. The likes of Geelong, Sydney and Hawthorn have shown by getting to the pinnacle you become an attractive destination for coaches and players alike, from this you can pick and choose the recruits you take and maintain a level of consistency.

Look at 15 years ago how freakish the Brisbane run was viewed, even the Sydney / West Coast era of 05/06 was seen as unusual for teams to have repeat visits to the top 4. Now it's expected.

This was also against a national team's attack

PNG are quickly building a reputation for being a cricketing powerhouse.

Yes, the house we stayed in is adjacent to the 10th green / 11th tee. Then the 12th green isn't far away.

So took a few with us, got some cold ones delivered on the 10th and two more ( 'coz we were thirsty by then ) on the 12th.

Thanks all.....can't wait to get home and tell Mrs.Boon what we've decided.

It doesn't matter how hot she is, someone, somewhere is sick of her shit.No truer statement can apply to this annoying bitch.

More Americans have been dumped by Taylor Swift than have died from Ebola.

Went to bed last night all blocked up and woke up feeling like shit…
Conversation with the wife this morning went something like this

Me: I feel like shit!
WIFE: How?
Me: Rightio…

5 minutes passed

Me: Most people say “are you ok” or “what’s wrong”…
wife: Are you shitting or spewing?
Me: NO, you know I went to bed last night feeling like crap…
wife: You have panadol and Nurofen at work?
Me: Yes…
wife: Best you take them then…

Currently sitting at work feeling like crap...

Hope you've got a long memory......"Babe, can you get me a panadol...." :lol:

What, you don't like the spew down the front of the jumper look?

False. He should have.

TNP thinks if you hit it on the carpet you can't get caught.

Their profession is overpaid. They are fine.

Agreed.

AFL rookie wage - $54,000. ( Add match payments for those who get elevated and play AFL level )

Eat breakfast at the club, lunch at the club, get clothed ( in the main with official club apparel ), full medical cover, if a first or second year player probably get housed with a host family or live with 2-3 other rookies all the while training at elite level and doing what you love for a living.

Go ahead, make me an 18 year old "slave".

Actually underpaid compared to other sports around the world.

Perhaps, but the ludicrous $200,000+ per week some nancy boy shin guard wearing EPL dive team players earn is outrageous.

When I was 18 I played Amateur League Football
I had to pay to play
$54k for playing sport , I would not complain

what if everyone else around you was earning between 6 and 20 times what you are earning for doing exactly the same job?

imo i think the rookie base wage should be more like 80-100k

Like most places of employment, pull your finger out and get to their level instead of sulking about not being paid the same amount.

1st year out of Uni V's established professional.

I hope it's held in Melbourne, at least they'll all be able to afford to attend it.

Makes sense to play that game @ Norwood Oval.
Could time it right, so the Power Fans can go to both.
Why should we cater for them?
We are the Premiers, should be looking after our fans first and foremost
So you'd rather have say 6k at a 3pm game at your club's home ground than say 10k at a 2pm game for the sake of looking after your own? I hope you're not on the NFC board.
And if I was on the board of the NFC these two Cancers wouldnt even be in the comp and we wouldnt be having this argument

This may be true. Although if you were on the board you'd also need to spend time with Centurion in a cafe on the Parade talking about club finances.

Rumours circulating that Port will open up the season with:

Fremantle (a), Tingles (a), Sydney (h), Hawthorn (h).

Could potentially start the season 1-3...
if Tingles meant to be the Crows (don't understand and probably don't want to) then "not happy, Jan" as supernova is on in Melbourne on week 2 & with the comedy festival on, was hoping for a crows game as well. Why would we have 2 home games in a row?

Yes, "Tingle" is the Crows. A well known Port identity refers to them as "The Fruit Tingles"....ie - the guernsey looks like a fruit tingle packet.

Foo Fighters with Rise Against at Coopers Stadium Wednesday March 4.

Agreed Jase, acoustics at Footy Park are shit.

Yes heater, they'll be snapped up quick. It will almost have an "intimate" feel to the show, compared to the AO gig.

Nup, the world is huge. It's just Adelaide that's small.

Both correct with game double ups and Collingwood Thursday night.

Bloody Casino is going to get a shitload out of me next year!

Nothing like a sunday session at the pub on a Sunday

Had a Sunday session at The Palais yesterday. Caught up with some friends. Walking back to catch the train home at Glanville and stopped in at the Exeter for a roadie, $10 in Spring Racing. ...games, 5 jockeys, with girls, 5/1, $350. :lol:

That's how to do a Sunday session!

Here are some snippets from Dave Edwards on Glen Maxwell

GLENN MAXWELL
This is what the BIG show had to say about his batting in the 2nd Test v Pakistan

" They back me to play that reverse sweep no matter what the situation of the game.
They understand for me that its no different from a cover drive for any other batter.
They have instilled confidence in me to play that shot and they have seen it come off time and again.
They accept the fact for me its a norMAL shot , its no different from someone else getting beaten in defence
My best form of defence is attack , so they would much rather me go out playing my natural game than defending and getting caught bat pad."

DAVE EDWARDS
Excuse thats probably the most arrogant thing Ive ever read, and Ive read the Latham diaries
The reverse sweep is not like a cover drive
Its a trick shot employed by kids in the backyard ....
...I dont want to go into too much detail , but Maxwell is just another Gen Y dickhead who will come and go

Who is right Dave Edwards Glenn Maxwell ?
Will Glenn Maxwell play Test cricket again?
Is Glenn Maxwell good enough to play Test Cricket ?

While Glenn Maxwell plays like Glenn Maxwell, no, he's not a test cricketer.

If Glenn Maxwell decides to change his approach to make a fist of a baggy green career, he has the talent to do so.

Reports that Little wasn't happy with Thompson not paying his AFL fine before the due date. He feels Bomber has "embarrassed" the club.

There always has and always will be little shit heads running around. There's just more of them now. There's more people than ever before...simple.

As for saying "it's the parents fault", "its the schools", "its the courts", "its the do gooders", "its the church" etc etc etc f**** etc. Yep, it's all of them, correct.

If you've got the time to fix all these problems, in essence, society in general, I wish you luck.

Far too much time gets spent looking at the negatives in society. we can't seem to get enough bad news in our day.

New Testament - 1 Corinthians 6:9-10 - Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be decieved, neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God.
^ this is why I want to go to hell. All the fun people will be there!

good luck with that...

this mentality honestly intrigues me, is it;
1- you dont believe in heaven or hell so its just for giggles or,
2- you dont think the judgment will be as it is depicted and it will be a big party?

1 - Not a chance either exists
2 - You either get burnt into a pile of ashes or eaten by bacteria. No judgement and you're the last one to get invited to the party.

All in all, they aren't in business to make the consumer money.

The boss being away for three days this week and two next week.

The i-pod on in the back ground, beers in the fridge to have a roadie, peace and quiet.

( I get along very well with my boss, it is only an office of two so tension can arise and time alone is gold )
