We gave Tom Williams the same contract... Who is the winner?

Whoever supplies us with tape?

Perhaps try a more appropriate comparison next time.

Perhaps I should have went with Ayce Cordy then.

Re: Dan Lonergan's view

I know Dan Lonergan personally and find some of the negative comments distasteful and lacking in grace. Dan has been through a painful separation from his wife and young son and his thoughts are possibly clouded because of his pain. I read his critique of our performance against Melbourne and most of what he said was painfully obvious in what save for the last fifteen minutes was a pathetic performance. Against a bottom of the ladder team it was a woeful performance for three and a half quarters. The only redeeming feature for me was the heroic efforts of Libba and Griff. I have been a long time member of the WB and struggle to remember when we had such a poor list.
On another thread I predicted 5 changes to our team against GWS. Based on our Melbourne effort you could have made 10 changes excepting that we do not have the depth of talent.
Dan is simply one of many media critics equally scathing of our performance at the weekend.

I feel for Dan, having been through that myself. But that doesn't make the negative comments distasteful or lacking in grace. Journalists by their very nature leave their work open for criticism and argument.

Some of the hysteria going on with some our fans is bordering on embarrassing.
Made the fatal error of having a peek at BF, and to be honest it's just plain embarrassing.
The 12 year old keyboard warriors have a poll on McCartney getting sacked.

Brilliant!

I wonder after today if Dan is still saying Clay Smith hasn't worked out?

Im not Clay's biggest fan and think his best work for us may be HFF but when you look at what was picked after him you can't really say we got it that wrong (yet!!!!)

He is currently 6th in the Marmo and 3rd in the James in his 2nd year, and will poll in both again this week after giving AA contender Callan Ward a hiding. He has proven he can be in our best players as both a mid and as a forward. I think he will be in our top 5 for the next 10 years.

Nice. I have a similar story. My ex and I broke up around 2004. She moved to Canberra a couple of years ago and I became the primary care giver. It's hard work, I have very little social life and I work full time as well so I have never been this tired but it's the most contented I have ever been. They aren't as keen on football as I am but sit and watch games with me. My son really loves soccer and NFL and I a spend some really happy hours watching Arsenal and Denver Broncos games with him. My daughter and I share music together.



One of the really great moments was when my phone rang seconds after the 2010 NAB cup final and it was the kids yelling and screaming "DADDDD WE DID IT!!!. My ex made sure they had watched the game and rang me as soon as it finished. It was the last time I cried. Big, blubby, wet tears with a huge smile on my face.

Dan you'll never, ever get that feeling mate. It might have only been a NAB cup premiership but it was OUR NAB cup premiership and I got to share it with my kids and my dad. It was truly one of the great moments of my life.

My son also came to the 2006 Elimination final as well. My mm said that we walked around on a cloud for a week afterwards.

One of the best posts I've read for a while. Thank you twodogs.
