nice attempt to disarm :)
how do you see our cultural development last three seasons?
Cultural development as you put it hasn't changed one bit.
Like i said the reality is that great sides can't stay up forever.
Trying too pin it on anything else is very short sighted.
 
I've been teaching high school for a while now. Every 6 years I have to say goodbye to a group of students I introduced to science in year 7, supported emotionally through the middle years, and then went through the VCE fire with. I see these kids grow from children into adults, helping to guide them along the way, and hopefully prepare them to go out into the world. I give them my energy, see them flourish, and then they leave.

The next year I have to start with a new group of year 7's. And very often, I wonder whether I have the emotional capacity to start again. Teach them the basics, give them the skills, get them back to the pointy end.

It's tough. And I'm not sure I've ever been able to commit as much of myself as I did the first go round.

I imagine being a senior coach, and seeing players like Castagna, Edwards, Cotchin, Riewoldt, finish up is the same sort of feeling.

But heaps more intense, because these are adults who you've formed real friendships with.

It would be so empty. It's wondering whether you can really give yourself to starting again.

He's seemed a little testier this year, and I wonder whether this is part of it.

I hope Dimma gets the say in what he does in the future. I also hope he has a big say in setting up the club for whoever inevitably follows him.

Is there a fallout between knighta and the club?
Yes i know Knights has been at other clubs but i can't recall ever seeing knighta at any RFC function like you do with Sheedy for example.
I don’t think Knights and the club parted on the best of terms. Frawley and he never seemed to get on that well.

It’s not about back pain relief its about hip pocket relief. He is one of the foundation investors in the business as is Clarko amd a few others. It’s a marketing angle he is running with
This is my field of expertise. A lot of medicinal cannabis companies in the USA have gone bust. It has benefits to Human Health. However, it is not a panacea for every ailment. I am currently working on a Nanotechnology project that offers much better scope for Human health improvement.

So the theraputic oil lubricates the bones n hinges then, so that ya don't notice the creaking n pain. Gettin pissed or stoned works similar, lubricates or fumigates the brain function so ya don't notice the creakin n pain so much. Just much more enjoyable gettin to the relief bit.
Sure while the effect is there. Then afterwards you add to your misery!! :) Been there done that.

Who was the moron on SEN who just said Dimma 'returns to his roots' as Port coach? He's a Vic and very much doubt he'd coach another club.
 
Somethings up with Dimma. Just watched his presser which went for less than 4 mins. His demeanour was off
