You will be able to quote me on this from that start of the season but I said Sean was one of the best talents to slip through the Reds system in recent years, but the issue is that it came down to either him or Browning, and I still think the Reds made the right decision for the long term.

Maybe he could have swapped with someone like Quirk, it's a difficult one.. I guess the thing for the Reds is at least they have recruited Whitaker from the Rebels, he obviously did a good job last year so it should be a breath of fresh air for the Reds.

I too have been coining that, as "the best player to leave QLD recently", but shit we need to buy back the farm.

Really? I didn't think Braveheart was being c^%ty at all.

It seems a very important, valid point that there are not many peer reviewed scientific papers for a product sold by a sponsor of the team that we are discussing.

You'd have been useful to have around when Firepower were peddling their product at the Force.

Fellas - saw a couple of Reds boys over at Paddington this week. Having caffeine shots, I mean coffee. Maybe they need a bit more of this high performance product

I believe Jeep is a minor sponsor based on all the lads social media shout outs.

Clearly wins in the "shit marketing catchphrase" aspect, with "You bought a Jeep!?"


Yeah I'd fire that ad agency for coming up with the genius:

"I bought a jeep"
"You bought a jeep?"
"I bought a jeep"
"You bought a jeep?"
"I bought a jeep"
"You bought a jeep?"
"I bought a jeep"
"You bought a jeep?"
"I bought a jeep"
"You bought a jeep?"

How many bitchez n blow parties did that pay for? Not that you'd buy one, because they're shite.

Horwill just needs to get moving as fast as he can (which is pretty quick) and hit the fucking line at speed without worrying about the consequences of being tackled. the law of physics says that doing that he should be over the ad line nearly every time.

He did this once on the weekend. Hit the pass from Genia at top speed running a good line in behind the last ruck and fuck me it was a thing of beauty. Love seeing a longback in full flight. It really has me stuffed why we can't get our players running onto the ball instead of taking it static.

I think you'll find if you do a little digging, that the man who came up with that is one of the sharpest tools in the airport hanger. I'd say it payed for a bit more than that too. I'm not sure how long it has been since any client has fired him.

More people than your honourable self have used the G word to describe him, and people who actually have the option of buying Jeep's have done so in spades.

But of course, as always, you'd probably know better.

Well personally there's no fucking way I'd buy one after that campaign, regardless of how good my mate's new Wrangler looks. Alienating potential customers can't be the best marketing plan ever...

OK, at the risk of sailing even further into the waters of Offtopicia

I'll bet.

Not that I need to do much digging to make the following assumption: Mr Genius von Adman must have been having a laugh when he told Chrysler it was a good idea. Then the silly fluffybunnys fell for it.

Can you believe that?

An industry that basically went into full anal prolapse got outsmarted by a guy who came up with an ad campaign consisting of four words, changed the odd bit of punctuation, and put a jingle on the end of it.

Always shows that a good vendor will always outsmart their customer to massive profit. That's why they work for themselves.

Though saying you outsmarted the auto industry is like saying that Hitler was a nice bloke compared to Himmler.

Good to know that is finally sinking in around these parts.

But please don't use the average consumer to put me on a pedestal (or their mentally inept cousin: the American vehicle buyer). They're a right pack of stupid twats as well - roughly on par with the industries they buy from. The existence of snuggies proves this beyond anything else.

And here's the bit where some might be inclined to say: "Ah! But Pfitzy, you devilish stud, it must have worked because here we are talking about it!"

The fact that I've said Tony Abbott is a dickhead out loud doesn't mean I voted for him.

Fuck sorry Scoey - I was mid-diatribe when you posted that.

But its pretty fucking good.

Go Reds! Smack those ponies.

Gee with such insight, it would amaze me the job title you must hold. We are so lucky to hear your on point and valid opinions that have such strong foundation. Look forward to reading more of the good stuff. Keep it up.

Nothing like a bit of pressure in the points table for previously unmentionable statements to be made and barracking lines to become rather flexible.

Was it Sun Tzu who said "the enemy of my enemy is my friend"?

Paul Keeting was on the money about backing the horse called "Self Interest".

I reckon the only time you have been called a devilish stud,is when you are talking about yourself in the 3rd person!

It really wasn't.

As someone who takes fish oil products because I have an arthritic condition, I have done a fair bit of reading into krill oil since it came on the market in such a big way and asked several doctors about it.

The overall consensus is that there is very little research into it and as it is sold as a supplement there is very little regulation around what can and can't be said when advertising it.

I have no issues with the company involved and only in relation to this product which is sold by many similar companies.



Leave the krill to the whales I say. Do we really need to take from the very bottom of the food chain? Even if it does have the benefits it purports I won't partake. Fish is enough.
