Another Fable from my Stable
Ok, now this is not my usual connection that I trust implicitly.
It was a person in the media who is connected to someone in the AFL.
She claims that a person unnamed approached 2 Saints supporters about paying out Richos contract on Friday night.
She said she wanted to run the story but received a call from an AFL official about not getting involved and they'd owe her one. She
may or may not have dated my son years ago. Only twice has she coughed up a story once before when she talked to me about Roo seriously considering leaving the club for the Pies and that he asked if the team didn't make significant changes he would accept the offer because he felt he wasn't playing for the Saints anymore, just for a hollow ideal. True or not? Dunno.
Is this rumour true? Dunno. Is she doing this to stir me? Possibly.
But she talked to me and then later the story broke about the Pies offering Roo a gold nugget and he "quickly" rejected the rumours/offer ( after being assured the club was doing a 100% about face).
Like I said maybe it b.s. but I never got that vibe from her, although I'm pretty sure she owes me $49 for fuelling her car when she left her bag at ****. But a decade has passed so we we I'll call it a gift.
If you're reading this I told you I'd post it.
If I wasn't leaving today I'd chase this rumour, ring her up and press her, Good bye internet for a few weeks and then I'll be back to stir the pot once I return to the hemisphere.

That's a seagull post!
Lot of arm flapping.
Dropped a lot of shyte.

The rest of Australia can wander mask-free, socialise, eat out, no curfews, no zoning, no police rings of steel, no illogical inconsistent rules.

Re: Another Fable from my Stable
Does the Navy send you away for a few weeks? You'd have to be pretty special for that I would think. And you would have to be posted in Canberra I would guess.WellardSaint wrote: ↑Tue 04 Sep 2018 9:43pm he's in the Navy. Officer.

I am guessing business trip.

Re: Another Fable from my Stable
AFL want a full run at the finals uninterrupted. Keep the richo sacking out of the media until after the gf and there will be some incentive....

Then why the social media blackout?
Surely he can post while on the throne?

Re: Another Fable from my Stable
I’d be surprised. It would be in and out of the news in less than 24 hours. New cycle lasts 12 hours these days.

Not really
Depends on how she looks but if I manage to cut one from the back of the herd at 3am I’d expect at least 2 good news days out of it...

Re: Another Fable from my Stable
That's a fair point. I find when I am on a business trip it is usually a pretty full schedule. Nights are either socialising with customers and co-workers, or preparing for the next day. Jet lag in yet another hotel room and I just want to sleep.WellardSaint wrote: ↑Thu 06 Sep 2018 6:11pmbusiness trip?minneapolis wrote: ↑Thu 06 Sep 2018 12:35pmDoes the Navy send you away for a few weeks?

But you are correct in essence.
Also he said he was a business man.
