      On the ABC's PM news program tonight they were talking about the success of the Australian caravan and RV manufacturers. They then cut to the next interview - "To talk about the success of this industry we talk to businessman EDDIE MCGUIRE..... " And on he came, the expert on everything.

      (Someone once told me that an expert was - "Ex means has-been and spert is a drip under pressure")

      Those who have the greatest power to hurt us are those we love.

          Thread now re-opened for discussion about the academies.

          Those posts discussing the commission and Michael Long's potential appointment have been moved to a separate thread on the General AFL discussion forum. Any post that contained a spat at another poster didn't make it to that thread.

            I noted that the Swans acadamy were playing the Lions acadamy before the Nab cup game.
            Any clues on team lists or results?

                Wow, that was a good result for the Swans. Eddie won't be happy though.

                    I'm with James Hird.."I don't care what Eddie thinks".
                    My last word on McGuire.

                      I laughed when I saw the end of that press conference.

                        I think Mills should have an "injury" for most of the year. Just like Heeney did during the draft combine.

                          Yes! and a drug habit, social problems and behavioral issues.

                            No, then Bombers or Saints will pounce on him!

                                I agree. Normally I would like to take the moral high ground but stuff the AFL. If they want to play dirty and paint us into a corner then so be it. We'll play it their way.
