AG... even though I have blocked you, I can see what you've written as it was quoted. You really are a sour-faced cow. A humble, talented young man whom many people looked up to and enjoyed the company of has passed away in tragic circumstances, and you come into this very thread knowing what to expect, and you speak ill of the dead.

Just when I thought you couldn't sink any lower...

By the way Twatface Magee - I agree with you completely.
Steady on.

AG's sentiments are correct. We cannot go and change everything to do with the game to honour Hughes. It is not insensitive and it is not practical.

A: Hughes would not want that. He was a humble person who just loved playing the game.
B: A remembrance gesture at the start of every summer, along the lines I suggested earlier, will ensure he will always be remembered and he will effectively be responsible for starting the cricket season every summer.
C: Every thing about cricket and what attracted Hughes to it, and many many others past and present, is the traditions of the game. Throwing them out the window destroys a part of what is unique to the soul of the game.

The biggest and best way we can truly honour the life of Hughes is to ensure that we don't forget him.

I haven't spoken Ill of the dead in any of my posts in this thread you attention seeking fool.

ignore him

he's an idiot

but i agree that people are going overboard with ideas like

naming a stand after him at the SCG
naming him in the test team
having his number forever on every baggy green
naming the cricket world cup after him
changing the name of the Sheffield shield and naming it after him instead

dunno if i've missed any

Very well said.

FFS if people want to post 'over the top' tribute ideas then let them. It's an emotional time, not a time to be 100% objective and judgemental of people's good intentions.

People are posting in an emotional state of mind not a rational one. Of course there is going to be suggestions that are over the top.

Stop being a merkin, show some compassion and let them cope in whatever way the need too.

You are. People don't need to be told that their ideas to honour the life of a person they are in grieving for are stupid. Don't like an idea just don't say anything.

You are, because you can't seem to grasp that, naturally, a lot of people aren't thinking rationally. So as you can tell, no one wants to hear you start arguments about ideas for Hughes tributes- save it for later. Just appreciate the sentiment of it.

you can't grasp that others can comment on said ideas no matter how ridiculous they are and it doesn't mean they are merkin for doing so

In your defence, I don't think you are a merkin for the comment you made. You were right. Some of the ideas were over the top.

But you are a merkin. That's been long established.

So everything you disagree with must be stupid?
This thread is to give our respects, share memories of, and pay tribute to a great Australian.

Take your negativity and rubbish elsewhere.

Well said mate, gee work was tough for me today, was sitting at work having lunch and got every upset when reading the paper about Hughes. Even worse when you think the poor bugger would have been playing a test match next Thursday which i would have been there to see him.

Again, you're not comprehending that people are speaking emotionally, so I don't see the point in picking out things you find 'ridiculous'- their words haven't offended anyone. It's more so the fact that you've been so smug and arrogant about it. It's not the time or place for using shit like eye-roll emojis, which is basically belittlement of someone's opinion; no one wants your negativity...I don't think you've realised that this is no normal league unlimited thread.

Anyway, I think a state memorial service is fitting...
