    Perhaps Bevo was channeling Schrodinger's cat.

    What should I tell her? She's going to ask.

    He's trying to be cute. (Ha! Exclamation marks!!!) And mildly insulting at the same time.

    He failed at least one of those aims.

    I get the feeling it fell apart before it got to the point. Which is a shame. I wanted to see how it played out.

    The best bit of that video was this.

    (not word for word)

    Bevo : this is what happens when you rely on cheap talent
    Moz (to the group) : ...well he gave me 5 minutes

    I took it that the future is now in Rhylee's hands

    Yeah the point was that 'whether alive or dead what's important is that it's in your hands'

    Honestly just on the bullshit that Mr. Grub caused Boyd I'd probably punch him out in the street if I saw him.

    It just means, it's up to him. Always admired Bevos use ofnarrative, metaphor, and other methods outside the box. Barrett is a gas lighter of first order and sniper. Negative nelly

    That's my normal go to excuse, along with "a big boy did it and then ran away" and "it was like that when we got here"

    Bet he isn’t game enough to mention Morris in a negative way.

    *Sigh*

    Given, I'd argue, less than half our actual supporters would have even seen the video he was referring to (let alone opposition supporters), that would make no f-ing sense to most of the footy reading public.

    I thought the ultimate message was really lovely ("It's all in your hands Rhylee"), I thought using Dale Morris as the wise old man was both funny and a touching tribute and the fact that the attempt was stuffed up by the rough talent was pretty funny!

    The sooner the AFL put an end to this drivel the better. But they won't, because the lowest common denominator always wins
    Wake me up when we get to heaven, let me sleep if we're going to hell

    Good luck, for your sake I hope heaven and hell are really there, but I wouldn't hold my breath
