That's all you've got? And you want to talk to me about sensible posting?

Ah I think I was the one talking about the sensible posting cwapper

[NRLCrap1]

I was talking to you, goose!

[King-Eliagh]

Hey hey hey settle down my gosling, it looked like you were talking to aflcrap as he got in before you.

[AFLcrap1]

well you made a claim.
I posted multiple links to show your claim was crap as usual.
& in true Cwapper style you just dismiss evidence ,without anything to back up your argument.

[Xman]

No Xman you said a lot more than ''khunt was an average player''

Here's some shmack you agreed with and quoted from the Canberra times. Note izzy's lil cameo I particularly like the suggestion that karmichael is an awesome athlete and has the ''dimensions of buddy franklin''

Israel Folau's value to Greater Western Sydney always needed to have more depth to it than just his name, according to the club's chief executive David Matthews.
It needed him to show the doubters this seemingly crazy experiment - at an estimated $6 million price tag - was justified by his deeds on the football field.
The hand he played in teammate Rhys Palmer's goal to seal their first win at the elite level - a 13-point victory over the Gold Coast at Albury on Saturday - and the powerful contested marks he took against Hawthorn the week before show he has the skills to cut it in the AFL.

Fellow rugby league defector Karmichael Hunt is also starting to develop, meaning the AFL's raids on NRL talent could continue.
''He's surprised a lot of people because he's developing at potentially a more rapid rate than many people would've expected,'' Matthews said.
''The best PR of all is the guys being successful on field. People talk about the publicity associated with it but there's no better publicity than watching him take the marks he took against Hawthorn or see his chip over the top to Rhys Palmer to kick the sealer on Saturday. He's the dimensions of [Hawthorn star] Lance Franklin, he's only 22 years of age, he's just completed his first pre-season, he's just a remarkable athlete.''

And more here

Yeah, he's (khunts)playing very well

He was one of the suns best on the ground.

He is currently developing in to a decent midfielder as shown by his last game and previous performances

A lot of love for k hunts game today on bigfooty

Another quote from an article you enjoyed and agree with.

Former Richmond great Matthew Richardson and ex-Collingwood coach Mick Malthouse were among those echoing North coach Brad Scott's comments after Hunt's 16-possession performance in the Suns' loss to the Kangaroos on Saturday.

"Anyone who has criticised Karmichael Hunt over the journey should be eating their words and should be apologising to him because, on that performance, he's a bona fide AFL midfielder," Scott said.

There are 22 players on a team. There are 44 players (or so) in a club. Is K Hunt the worst? Not by a long shot!

K Hunt also does a lot of intimidation work like heavy but legal hits on the other teams midfield. These important parts of his game do not show up on any stat sheet but are invaluable.

More crap he quoted from a news article

It prompted legendary Hawthorn hardman Dermott Brereton to tweet last weekend: "Karmichael Hunt might be the most feared player within the Gold Coast Suns"....He's a rare athlete. It's a big call, but he's up there with some of the athletes I played with, like Hirdy, the way they drive themselves," Solomon told SEN radio on Wednesday.

"They go above and beyond to get the best out of themselves."

Adam you listening to this mate?

Plus his professionalism as an elite athlete is well acknowledged.

Adam, meet Xman, a man who will defend khunts skills, athleticism and right to be in the AFL to the DEATH!!! Now fight to the DEATH you two bitches!

Thanks for proving my point

[Beaussie]

Skills ,scmills .
Just stating the facts.

Please feel free to dispute these facts.

Rl players have played at the highest levels of Derpyball,& have been among the HIGHEST paid players .

Derpyball players have never ever made it at the top level of RL..


It hurts but you will get over it.
You poor southern folk are slowly awakening to the fact that you have been bullshitted to for yrs.
These so called athletes just cant cut it at anything else.(despite the propaganda.)Yet players from other sports seem to waltz into your top squads & stay there.
They step out of the bubble & get touched up by midget ex jockeys.
they try boxing matches & get pummeled .
They get talked up as possibly the best in many sports...sadly that's just plain Bullshit.

Me thinks the propaganda machine down south is top of the tree...up there with N. Korea for pulling the wool over the poor misguided folks eyes.

It doesn't hurt one bit. The AFL made a calculated move to employ the services of people known to an expansion market. They were paid average for their sporting contribution and well for marketing the game.

.

so
your code is a fucking circus that even after 1 billion plus dollars
had essentially failed in convincing Nthners over 30 years , that its game is any good

so it still needed RL players to push its latest teams eh

good to know dickhead
good to know

The swans are proof of success because they have more crowds and members than every N RL team in RL heartland. Once the Storm can boast that in Melbourne you can also make that claim

Good point. Add to No.1 sporting club in NSW = Sydney Swans. Can you ever imagine the Melbourne Storm being able to boast about that in Victoria?

Swans rated the No. 1 sporting club in town in terms of sponsorship, membership and attendances

Yes thanks cwapper you reminded me. I have a feeling Essendon could be placed in the basketcase league this year! Thanks dude

you think Essendon will make the bottom 5 or 6 this year?

You want to bet on it?

Well lets be clear. If Essendon join the basketcase league then there'll be seven teams, a record actually. So this would mean I'd believe Essendon would get in the bottom 7 not the bottom 5 or 6 this year.

I might bet on it, even given your history of assisting welchers at all costs. I'd be risking a welch from you as I know you think I welched, even though that's clearly untrue. I've never welched on a bet in my life and wouldn't in this case either.

Give me some time to think about it. Picking the basketcase league as accurately as I do prior to April year in year out is not an easy task you know. I use much evidence, time and knowledge as CEO to be so very valid and accurate, year in year out.

And please if I forget due to my busyness please remind me of your intention to bet on this one

Ok, Essendon to only win 6 games all year and to finish in the bottom 7 and I'll ban myself for 1 month. Otherwise you'll do the same.

Deal?

Oh I don't like this at all. You're a fantastic moderator and an invaluable asset to us all in here. I'd hate to think of this place without you for a month (as unlikely as it is that the Bombers will only win 6 games). Imagine the chaos in here without you for a month? The children in here would be totally out of control. Scary thought indeed.

Why not a simple avatar or signature bet instead?

[King-Eliagh]

Yes im happy to go with beaussies suggestion too. Not too phased as its highly likely you'll welch if you lose.

But your conditions seem to be chopping and changing a lil. If Essendon were in the b league, I'd prob put em at short odds to win it. with 7 teams in the b league that'd mean 6 wins might be a bit of a shoe in to them. As you know I prefer to judge basketcase leaguers mainly on their inability to compete against teams not in the B league. So if ya wanna go on how many wins they achieve I'd prefer to say no more than 3 wins against teams in the AFL comp i.e not in the b league. Think about it but in any case this discussion belongs in the ''options for a lopsided competition thread.''

[NRLCrap1]

There is no B League.
