Plain dumb.

You'd think the fat Cypriot is paid enPugh to fix it!

Anyway, give me a flag over a hundred Norm Smith's or Brownlows!
Enough with the racist crap.
You would think the Andrew Bolt lovers would have learned from yesterday :roll:
Andrew Bolt? :shock:


I saw the thread "Bolt guilty" and thought Usain had finally been caught on the juice :P

I would've thought the Bolt Guilty headline would've had a red-faced Glen Manton underneath myself.

So why do you not label everyone else you post about by their nationality? It is a derogatory racist comment and you are the fool if you cannot see it. His nationality is totally irrelevant and you only used it in a derogatory fashion.

Explain why you needed to use his nationality for your argument.

Yes true - imagine if someone in defence of Bolt refered to the judge as "that Jew Bromberg", there would (rightly) be an uproar.


Lance or James??

There comes a point in every man's life when he has to say, "Enough is enough." For me, that time is now. I have been dealing with claims that I cheated and had an unfair advantage in <redacted>. Over the past three years, I have been subjected to a <redacted>investigation followed by <redacted> witch hunt. The toll this has taken on my family, and my work for <redacted>and on me leads me to where I am today – finished with this nonsense. (Oops just got a spontaneous errection <unredacted>)

Question to saintspremiers;

My mum was adopted, I've got no idea who her dad was, her mum was definitely Irish though. My dad was from an English family of Jews that had come together in different parts of Northern England from Poland, (although at that time it was actually Russia), and Romania. My parents and I were all born in England but after emigrating to Australia in 1980s we now have Australian passports as well. My French girlfriend will shortly be giving birth to my child, probably in France.

If my child became boss of the AFL in 2051, assuming you're still around, how would you talk about his/her ability to do his/her job?

EDIT: Actually, I already know the perfect term, especially for an AFL chief...



THAT MONGREL!

By the way, yes Grammy should get a retrospective Norm Smith Medal, and no it's not as good as a Premiership, but after taking a beating on this forum and possibly getting traded after a terrible 2011, it would be nice to recognise that he really stood up when it mattered most.

I understand the Andrew Bolt decision is a hot topic.

But how the hell did it take over a thread about Jason Gram and the Norm Smith Medal? :? :? :?

Yes I'm sure that one day he will get a retrospective one.
How lone did Brian Gleeson wait for his Brownlow?
Not long he was the sole winner in 1957 with 24 votes.
Sorry I meant Verdun the next year when he drew.
He was kept waiting for decades


The rest of Australia can wander mask-free, socialise, eat out, no curfews, no zoning, no police rings of steel, no illogical inconsistent rules. 
They can even WATCH LIVE FOOTY!

Sorry I'm wrong again!!!!

Verdun Howell tied with Bob Skilton in 1959.
TWO years after Gleeson.
Verdun lost on a countback to Skilts.

I think you could work that one out for yourself. You are a doctor afterall.
