          so lets talk about some more layers to respect and the challenge of big H......

          so if you had a colleague or employee that couldnt get it together for 3 years straight.............hhhmmmmm.......i just keep them workn on.

          I respect his courage to keep trying as I said in the first email

          I dont respect his ability......... and for me I like seeing any spot in the Swans roster given to players with ability and or emerging ability..........Big H hit the ceiling many years ago !! hence Roos only brought him back at the death of the 2010 recruitment as we lacked height !!!
          ughhh horrible logic.

                Do any other RWO-ers have teenagers in the house who always have to have the last word, no matter how inappropriate or how little it helps their cause?

                As and old Riverview boy, I wonder if Henry may end up doing some AFL promotion in NSW? He certainly has been developing the media smarts with his camera and mic work on the Swans site. The respect he's shown by the rest of team, despite his long run of injuries, suggests they see him as a team member of substance so maybe he'd be good as a footy ambassador.

                  it appears respect and a funny mate are getting all mixed up

                  I know funny people that I like around when having a lemonade............doesnt mean I respect them

                  Would respect mean that he was automatically offered a spot in the team for 2010 ?? ................or does the hanging out the washing blwoing in the wind oh ok you can play one more year mean respect ???

                  Respect !!

                  PS - GO Swannies.........out of respect........ I saved you from getting the last word and being considered a teenager !

                  Peace !!

                    I do promise this is my last word on this Go Swannies, but I have to point out that AG's 'subtle serve' said Henry was 'no loss' and that comment was justly removed by mods.
                    Henry gave everything he had to Sydney, and that was not an inconsiderable contribution.
                    That there is argument regarding the quality of Henry's work from AG rather disturbs me..Do we only farewell and congratulate the O'Loughlins of this world?
                    Thanks again Henry!

                      on that basis - given that I am giving my all as a poster and trying so hard..................shouldnt I get some respect also ?

                      or did I say something you didnt like old Royboy42 ?

                      now that could be perceived by a sensitive person as disrespectful................

                          I recall someone using the "no loss" expression when Stuart Maxfield first took himself off the team and then retired so perhaps it's a mirror rather than an accurate reflection?

                            Stop digging !!! Please.
                            You are in a big enough hole.

                            Poor Auntie, thought you would be amusing but it backfired so you are persisting with loads of silly argument. "No loss" was just a regrettable slip, inappropriate, and insulting to HP. Let it go now, you are only looking desperate.

                            Here endeth the thread.
