Lots of stresses and tensions flow through our site. Sometimes it is a good idea to try and understand that there are other ways to get a kick out of life besides football alone. A balanced perspective. We are walking to the time of year when great disappointments may make your life miserable. 30 + whatever years without a premiership there are some good medications to see things differently.{other than alcohol?}

    • Tad, life hasn't been good to me in the last 10years but I've never lost my sense of humour weird as it may be. At my age waking in the morning is a huge bonus. This song sums it up for me

      • That is the song and version I have picked for my funeral. 

        • Fuck bro,  and here I was telling the mrs I want 2 live crew just to stir it up a bit.

        • Slugg, MyBob, loved that. Touching. Beautiful. 

          Music is often better at expressing what we want to say than words.

          • Nice song o reflect on HOE particularly thinking of the hopelessness in many people's lives who have lost everything. Floods at Lismore and War in Ukraine.Makes me feel guilty that I am powerless to do anything meaningful to help.

      • Thanks for putting that up Slugg.Wonderful unicorn song which brings a tear to my eye thinking of all the people that I have lost that have had a big impact on my life. Stay strong mate.The world can be a very lonely place for older people with health issues in particular. Hoping our little one-eyed community can give you the opportunity to share your thoughts on many issues that pop up.

        • Thanks Taddles, I’m a tough old bastard I’ve had a few health issues but I never let them get me down. Occasionally I get a bit misty when I look at mrs Sluggs  photo, 50 years in a long time. 1EE has helped me cope I’ve made friends I’ll never see and some that I have. Parramatta Tragic came down to visit a couple of weeks ago he brought cakes an chocolates. If my thoughts fail me I've always got the yawning pig

          • I remember that song very well Slugg.  Music with a story to tell and comforting to listen to

    • Yes Slugg music and the creative struggles in process behind the scenes is giving purpose to one's life. Listening to it is a temporary relief from ills life can throw at you.We are So lucky to have lived through the early Beetles era.

Longfin Eel replied to Fiddy's discussion Burton to Eels?
"I was thinking tonight watching the game, take away Burton's kicking and what else do you have? He's still a good player, but his best years are behind him without a doubt. I'd still take him for 2-3 years at 6 transitioning to centre."

Angry Eel replied to Fiddy's discussion Burton to Eels?
"Agreed. DB was never a natural right to left kicker and adding a left footer gives us a dynamic we haven't had in a long time. If true Burton is a cracking buy. I said a while ago when everyone was saying he would go to Perth for the coin that it…"

"Agreed on that approach. Explain clearly the development plan for Lorenzo, and why this is good for his career. Make sure his manager fully understands too."

Offside replied to Roy tannous's discussion Is this the bench moving foward
"I think Joash will be the 6 volkman or pezet will be the 18. 
But that's a decent bench assuming Ryley is back soon"

LB replied to Fiddy's discussion Burton to Eels?
"Dogs have gone cold on him as they've realised Galvin is better at 6, so being stubborn, Burton is odd man out for Galvin who is their new toy to try and make it work."

The Captain replied to Fiddy's discussion Burton to Eels?
"I don't get the love for Burton.
No one has really figured out to use his skills in a way that makes him as valuable as everyone expects him to be (and what he'd expect his pay packet to be).
He's a talented footy player who's hype over the years…"

"If we go for Burton then Ryles does not think Lorenzo is ready next year, that's for sure. I am willing to trust Ryles about that if it happens.
I would try and keep Lorenzo while snaggin Burton, but that's pretty hard. 
Ideally, we are just…"
