Dating myself here, but I saw him playing for Coorparoo vs Sandgate at Lemke Rd in '84. I was only young, but could still appreciate talent. I think he kicked 5 that day without breaking much of a sweat. I sometimes wish he advocated for Queensland footy a bit more. I'd be surprised if it...

If I don't hear the term "chiseller" again in my life I'll die a happy man. The ****er doesn't even use his own made-up term correctly using it for normally-weighted kicks. Now JB has started to ape him in a lesser fashion (if that was possible) with "driller" being used last week...

Whispers I heard were that he wasn't impressed with the culture at the clubs who were chasing him.

Isn't the expectation of journalists to document facts, not to exaggerate rumours? Yes, some will follow hunches and many occasionally report incorrect statements. The decent ones own their mistakes, the shit-show ones make the same mistakes repeatedly yet still seem to keep their jobs. If...

Do I? You seem to be reading a lot into my statement. Over the years we've lost out a lot more than we've won. But I wouldn't have any problem with it being applied equally to all clubs.

Don't have a problem with it if they can also do something about ensuring clubs get fair trade value for trades. In simple terms the benefits of the Academies offset the issue of clubs losing out when homesick players leave, both in terms of draft picks and time invested in developing players.

Not a touch of revisionism going on here? At the time of this match you had a record of 7-1-3 (at the time you were sitting 3rd of the ladder, one game behind us). It was the beginning of a poor run of form for us that year - for the period from Rounds 12 to 17, we went 2-4. You were in the 8...

They can contact me if they want as I posted publically about two of the occasions (Patfull & Maguire) at the time.

Voss was a bloody good kick also, (not as good as Buckley) but he was more often inside so you didn't see it often, whereas Buckley more often than not set up play from behind the pack and had more time to pinpoint kicks. Voss' handball was probably the best I've seen, particularly over long...

You forgot Ariel and Courtenay... ;) On the OP, the RS "selectors" like to reward consistent form over a number of games rather than individual brilliance, although they like to see a good game put forward for a nomination.

Brisbane: 1999 - 3rd 2000 - 5th 2001 - 1st 2002 - 1st 2003 - 1st 2004 - 2nd Fairly comparable in a competition where the aim of the game is to win premierships. As a week-to-week supporter I've got to say that I'd probably prefer what the Cats have done WRT win rates - it's nice not to lose...

This whole shemozzle has Gubby Allan's dirty fingerprints all over it IMO. Some might say he's a conniving little ****.

Pretty sure you'll find clark had eyes for the ball (like any good forward should do) until he's seen Brown coming at him. Didn't help that Enright has given him a bit of a shove (not a criticism - I'd have expected any of our backmen to do the same thing if the roles were reversed. This...

Stopped reading about about page 8, but it's pretty amusing that those accusing others of acting like "limp-wristers" are themselves whining like little girls. Suck it up princesses!!

Say it a third time and someone might bite.

Pull your head in. That's footy. Injuries happen.

Ah, there's the balanced viewpoint I was searching for. Well, that does my three-monthly visit to this board. Good to see things don't change. See you all in another three.

Allegedly a doozy, I should have said. Nope no facts here my friend. :D

Fair enough.

It's not the reporting of him being sacked. Clubs make those announcements all the time and have a duty to report list changes to their members. I'm just interested that people are getting antsy at not knowing the full story.

Well, not that bit, but the actual being out and having a few drinks would be no dramas. But yeah, thats obviously one breach, and a doozy at that.

And there's the rub. You're itching to take a shot and want a bit of ammo. Look, you'll probably get it, but will it be the truth? Don't take my position as being pro what my club has done. Nor am I anti. It's not an easy siutation and I don't envy our board one bit. I just get amused...

Sorry, you obviously missed the sarcasm.

I'm sure they're cut a bit of slack for NYE, but from memory there were reports of him being our clubbing till 4am when he shouldn't have been. Can't remember when that was though specifically.

You seem to be reading a bit into the message from the club, but OK, assuming you're right, why do you ManWithNoName, feel you're important enough to be be supplied with the facts? That's my point. FWIW, the facts (and I use the term very loosely) will no doubt be duly and truthfully reported...

Not specifically, but I'm not launching a broadside on a football club with no knowledge of the facts, am I? Why would the breaches be obvious? If I were to hazard a guess, I'd think that some breaches might be in relation to non-negotiable team rules such as being out to all hours whilst...

Believe me Campbell does really care. Probably too much IMO. The needs of the few always seem to outweigh the needs of the many.

What's it to you? Why do you need to know?

Yup.

I'm always serious campbell. You should know that. ;) There were a few gems in his reign but his strike rate was always exaggerated by our supporters IMO. He plucked a few late gems (I'd add Beau McDonald to your list also), but his record with early draft picks was pretty abysmal. In...
