Sydney Stack

[Baloo]

I call it as I see it, good and bad. It's your bias showing, not mine.

If I had posted that I thought Steve Hocking was no good then you wouldn't raise an eyebrow, but because it is Malcolm Speed you get defensive.

Not really. I let the first one through to the keeper because it sounded like sour grapes, or he ignored you at a function once. I just called you out the second time when you doubled down and invoked the "other people too" argument.

If I had to point out every time you try to bring our club or personnel down, I'd seriously think about writing an auto-reply script to keep up.

That fine was ridiculous. Didn’t see Collingwood cop that sort of penalty after their indiscretions.

Telfonwood?

 

[TigerForce]

Poor Stacky. Sounds more like a hostage crisis.

Jack said in that infamous Good For Footy forum with Grimesy that Bakes is the best he's seen by foot since Sam Mitchell. ..... along with saying he's a much better bloke too! (Obviously not a fan!)

I've compared Bakes to Mitchell before too (as a footballer), such a good kick off both feet, hard and nuggety. Would love him in the midfield rotation as he gets further into his career.

 

[Baloo]

That statement just illustrates your hyper-sensitivity to anything even remotely critical of anyone at Richmond.

Yep, it's all in my head.

*smile* media arseholes. Nearly had a cark it attack n fell of me chair this morning.
Just quietly going through me sports pages in the Hun n the headline Stack out for season appears. *smile* head article was about Brid Stack the Irish AFLW Gee Whizz player who cracked a vertebrae in her first game.

Hocking is NFG. Surely everyone can agree on that?

 

[Baloo]

Has a pretty impressive CV.

You're easily impressed.

 

[Quickdraw]

You're easily impressed.

And as Homer Simpson says "I'm not easily impressed...................................................Wow! A blue car!!!!"

 

[Mr Brightside]

And as Homer Simpson says "I'm not easily impressed...................................................Oh look! A blue car!!!!"

A role model if there was ever one

Has a pretty impressive CV.

I once worked with/for a guy who had a "very impressive" CV. He took over a very profitable division of the Co. Within 12 months he'd decimated that workplace & reduced it an absolute shambles. 3 months later he was "offered a package".

The Company's CEO apologised to the workers for "putting them through the turmoil of the last period of time".

That particular person later became an MP in a Victorian Liberal Government.

I take "impressive CVs" with a grain of salt.

 

[Baloo]

Yes, that would be the pessimist view and a chance to take another swipe at an AFL person.

But more often than not, an impressive CV stands up to scrutiny.


Exactly my point.

I see I've touched a nerve so I'll just respond on the quality of Hocking's CV.
Geelong Player
Geelong GM of Football
Then given the second most influential job in the AFL.

That's not an impressive CV. In fact, when Hocking was given the job, many were questioning his lack of experience for it.

The less sycophantic would say his ham fisted performance in the role was to be expected due to his lack of experience.

Having met Speed on a couple of occasions in a semi-professional context, how he comes across in Making Their Mark is how he came across in person. A bit old school and a bit of a curmudgeon. However certainly an impressive operator.

He (and everyone else on our board currently for that matter) are certainly far more qualified and have given far more value add than some of the drongos on the board in the bad old years.

Not often I have to resort to google to understand posts on PRE. But, not going to lie, I had to look up "curmudgeon". Means, a bad-tempered person, especially an old one for those playing at home. Have to agree Speed meets that definition!

Sshhh! Don't tell Mrs. Quickdraw what a curmudgeon is or she'll throw that sobriquet at me during the next verbal stoush.

I thought I could almost hazard a guess about who this is. But then I realised ... pretty wide field.

My wife has shortened curmudgeon, to cur for me.

I'm sorry to say she's got me down to a tee.

Cur

noun

1. an aggressive or unkempt dog, especially a mongrel.

Quiet often Im googling meanings of PRE BT, quite often I’m still left bemused

I just had to Google your use of the word "quiet", Shinybum!
