It's an oddly upbeat not terrible place.

EDIT 2: Lmao the Menzel thread is nearly 50 pages long

I haven't been on BF so far this season. The Geelong sub forum always seemed to be alright, other than the "let's get rid of <player's name> from the team for a good draft pick"

My guess for Malthouse not wanting a paid interview is he's just finishing up 30 years in a pretty well paid profession, with a $500k lump sum payout from Carlton, and he figures more grenades will stick if people can't say he's lobbing them for the cash.

Off Malthouse and back on Goodes:

I reckon the reason that the racists boo, (and make no mistake it is the racists that boo Goodes), is less to do with the fact that he is black, and more to do with the fact is he is an 'uppity' black that calls out racism and racists when he sees it, and refuses to meekly accept his role like "one of the good ones".

Speaking of league games from before - am up in Sydney at the moment and expected the place to be Blues mad (as in, well you know what Blues). But I'm surprised that it's not all that intense really. NRL is dead?

I would suggest it's another Mater Christi in Perth mate. The joke, or at least what made laugh is that it's nearly a perfect incidental recreation of the drewtoothpaste tweets Hume is referring to in this post:

Jetta and Viney are welcome returns, Jetta especially as he did very good work on the chad last year.

Bit worried about our half forwards being able to stop Ports run, as that seems to be the key to beating them. Wish we had Kent healthy to play, with him and JKH out Garlett may need to play a more accountable game as he can provide good pressure.

Saints have some pretty interesting decisions to make with selection this week.

An extended squad that has four players that are easily best 22 are coming in (Roo, Lonie, Geary and Delaney) and only Fisher out with injury with most players in the team seeming to do enough to keep their spot. Templeton is probably a straight swap for Lonie. Hickey had a horrible game last week but he probably stays in to be the 2nd ruck. Membrey had a decent game but might have to make way for Roo. I'll be hosed if I can figure out who goes out for Delaney and Geary.

I guess this is a good thing cause the Saints haven't had this kind of depth and pressure for selection for quite a while. We also have Ray, Gilbert and Ross coming back from injury who all have strong claims on a senior spot.
