It's bloody sad mate, it seems every second guy I talk to has a similar story and l have heard worse than mine. She told a Judge through her lawyer that I told my son he is worthless, it still upsets me to this think about this and relate it to others. The judge saw through her lies and let me see the person I love the most, my five year old son .now that I am seeing my son she is coming after my inheritance. Mum died just before our seperation.

Thanks Brother RL built a beauty. I hope I can.

Cheers Brother ,feels like coming home.

I would like to than Mike V for inviting back to this league,Canuck2extreme all the Commissioners and members for letting me again be a part of the best fantasy league I have ever participated in. Those who knew me would remember I am a flower farmer and October is my busiest time of the year, 12 - 14 hour days. I am open to any trade offers or deals however if I do not reply straight away this is due to my farming commitment s and a rather nasty seperation, on her part,from my partner of 14 years. Here's to a great Hockey season , good luck to everybody.

Such an old Aussie saying

A lie is a lie no matter who believes it.

This disapeares into the mire of American politics in this age of the 24 hour news cycle. The mire that trump so quaintly promised to drain.

The way "soccer" players fall over at the slightest touch and roll around on the ground writhing in pain to earn a free kick, then get up and sprint off breeds a little contempt for the game over here in Aus. Sorry to derail this league talking to old friends about others sports.

I know this is a little but trite however I really dislike Eddy McGuire and even though I am a Victorian I was glad to see the Eagles win. That game and the final series illustrated how a salary cap and drafting system that is very similar to North American sports leagues has evened the competition out. We have yet to see the real impact of free agency I believe. Today there was no real standout player on either team, it was really a team effort. There was a couple of big moments as you stated and that hit was a beauty. However I think it was McGovern's mark in the backline, their quick transition and the goal from the boundary line that gave them the lead with just 2 minutes to go that was the real key point in the game. They missed a lot of easier chances in the preceding 10 minutes. I will tell you about our half time sprint when we talk next. It made it one of the most unforgettable grandfinals in nearly 50 years of following this game. What I will also note is the genuine warmth and respect that AFL players have for one another after playing such a physical game for 80 minutes. Good stuff.

This blows me away. So this is what the land of the free and the home of the brave has come to. A Woman has to be protected for telling she was abused. We are arguing about a woman being abused, who is right, who is wrong, what are the motivations of the people invovled. It used to be a distraction, now it just brings me down. Any person that has any ability to think critically can tell who is telling the truth and who is lying. Who can see past the politics and see the character of the people invovled their personal history, previous actions are all that is needed. It kinda reminds me of how the god thread polarised people. This debate seems more nasty, I feel more ill will between people, I want people to come together, not become more divided.

" If you think her reproductive rights are inconsequent you're wrong" Mike Burkett Check out the lyrics of the song those words come from Rupert. I believe they will reasonate with you and a few other posters in this thread The song is titled , You're Wrong

Cheers Brother. Never to old to learn. Although I do have some experience I have no doubt @oldnews will add to that.

Nothing more needs to be said.

I wonder why ? Sarcastic emoticon !

Bang on Brother. We the people elect our leaders then they act in our name. Some people blame them however if elected officials are not enacting our will it is our duty to inform them of this fact.

Well said Rupert.

Best comment in this thread so far Joe.

This Empire will fail,not in the same way as say Rome. The US still is the largest economy and even the earliest predictions of China passing them seem to be sometime mid to late next decade. More importantly their military is by far the most powerful. Just the destructive power of one their aircraft carriers is amazing, let alone their submarine fleet. I don't even believe this is the total end of the 2 party preferred system. We saw a minor example of that when Ralph Nader ran in 2000

Thanks Brother...means a lot to me. My computer skills have always been crappy, now I have no internet and am posting from my phone. When I get time I will try to learn more, in particular how to quote multiple posts.

Thanks Brother. Feels good to be back. After some dark times there has been a lot of good things happening lately.

I would like to thank the General Manager of the Winnipeg Jets, @oldnewsfor giving myself the opportunity to help the Jets become a successful Hockey Team.

Thanks Ollie. You know what happened in my life, how bad things got well this feels like one of the many things that feel like my life is starting to come back together. I will PM in regards to finally getting to see my son, best day of my life Brother. To all the other members of this I hope to add to the enjoyment we get from putting our time and effort into this league and following the game we all love....Ice Hockey.

I agree with the top line. Second line has a little bit to much inexperience with both Goldy and Pettersson on it. Third line seems ok. Fourth line would be effective if Loui could regain some of his scoring ability.

In both cases it is people who have power that are doing the abusing. I believe they are comparable.
