Rumours and Stuff

FMD why’d I bother opening this thread

Hey Pou is it possible that if half the team plays bad the other half looks bad?
French needs a proper run at fullback. Not 2 games he had in a row this year. Give him half a season and hopefully un-ninjured.He deserves that.

How would you have your backline rnd 1?

I don’t think French has earnt the right yet but agree he should be given a lengthy stint there so he feels confident and comfortable
Ps whether ur being serious or joking with your posts you are certainly entertaining, who gives a flog what others think..keep up the great work mr 85%

 

[Gronk]

I think that's how they explain it, anyway

A follow up @TheRam , I understand some people are left wing on some issues, right on others, center on others and libertarian on others. That is how I operate, with reason and logic. Not "brainwashing" as Gronk puts it.

Hmm I searched the word brainwashing and I have only used that word once since 2006 and that was in a soccer thread.

So ... Bullshit m8.

Isn’t that a brand of motorbike?

Yeah it’s a hybrid. Half Yamaha half Kawasaki

Hahahahahahahaha...

Saying that you will try and actually DO are two totally different propositions mate. Give me one right wing commentator/presenter that has his own show on the ABC that pushes right wing agenda views.

Oh and by the way, just a reminder, I hate both camps.

I dont know about right wing agenda but these programmes definitely have right wing presenters. Makes a nice change on the ABC.

Do you think French earnt the right to start 2018 as fullback?
And if so, in a team that played as badly as we did across the park in 2018, do you think he justifiably lost that right due to form?

 

[Gronk]

Dunno if they are biased per se - but if one were to suggest the ABC 'represented left' that might be a pretty fair comment?

To suggest bias might mean they promote one ideology over another. By my observation they clearly do that, however it might not be in a way that constitutes technical bias!


(Why did I just comment on this?!?
/back to offseason slumber)

The ABC may "represent" the left in some people's views. Certainly a person from the right of centre may conclude that.

However one coild ask if it is actually a bias or a reflection of the modern reality of Australia ?

Undeniably public opinion was on the side of same sex marriage. Undeniably public opinion seeks urgent action on climate change and the transition to renewables. I could go on..

Notwithstanding public opinion, factions of the current government think they know better and have been roadblocking reforms for over a decade. They are not serving their constituents in any way and are in fact imposing policy of a small fraction of Australians.

I though he did considering his potential in that position based on 2017 form on the wing, and the lack of other contenders - Gutho injured, Hayne fat and unfit.
For 2019 no I think he did lose the right but IF given a chance it needs to be for min 4-6 games. Personally I would go with Gutho or Norman depending on trial form and training intensity

If Gutho plays center our options are Hoffman, Norman or French. French looks the most likely. Id personally like to see him get at least a 12 game "run" in the 1. Time will tell.

I hope that doesn’t eventuate. I’d rather Gutho, Norman or even probably Hoffman over French at the back.

LOL

Can everyone please get back to discussing football?

French can be an asset at fb, as long as he stays away from the sidelines. Potentially he can still make it.

Everything but Newscorp is fair and balanced in Australia. Murdoch is actually the devil reincarnated and is trying to brainwash everyone against the fair and balanced coverage of impartial journalists in Australia. People can't think for themselves and need to be told, except me and my mummy when we have our late night bottle of port together and watch Q&A in our jammies.

Ram lets fling Gary. Rissole him.
I think we bring this guy into bones on bones.
Gary was useless anyways.... Worse then a 1 schooner screamer.

The ABC isn't free, the taxpayer pays for it. And they use that money to compete commercially with ads and shit lifestyles shows and websites the taxpayer doesn't need to pay for, they actually drove the definitely left biased Fairfax out of business. I don't cheerlead for any mainstream media or any media at all, btw. I get what I need and put it through a filter in my refined mind.

*Pours you a Elephant Poo*

Cheers

Gronk you should retreat. This kids tearing you to shreds. He is smart.

 

[hindy111]

I just had a thought.
Ram, Im the man and hindy111 run for government....What a world. We'd become a superpower like Russia. Unstoppable . People would love us like Boris Yeltsin

You truly know and appreciate what it takes to be a man in 2018. Hindy111, it would be my pleasure to form a faction of sorts with an intelligent man like you on this forum. Similar to a political party but that operates within the realms of League Unlimited, we will band together and slay the evil forces that wish to control our minds. Together with fellow-minded men and thinkers like you we will raise the next generation of alpha males that can help guide us to a better future, not the one Gronk wishes to take us back to akin to Venezuela where toilet paper is now worth more than money. He literally wants you to wipe his ass for him, do not fall for this con mans spin and tricks and become another one of his "useful idiots".

I have a long flight ahead of me for an overseas business conference and I need all the Elephant Poo I can get, but you have earned this my friend

*Shares Elephant Poo with @hindy111*

Cheers
