    Seems to be fewer truly memorable/amusing thoughts offered now than there were in the early days of RWO and so much more banality.
    Less conversation/discourse and more posters simply stating and restatement opinions, with little response to others.

    Compare this current "What are they up to thread" to one on a similar topic from yesteryear What they are doing right now...

    Loose translation from the Latin is - I am tall, so I hit out.

    So Brandon doesn't like sport???
    No wonder he didn't make the cut.
    His heart and soul wasn't in it.
    Wild speculation, unsubstantiated rumours, silly jokes and opposition delight in another's failures is what makes an internet forum fun.
    Blessed are the cracked for they are the ones who let in the light.

    Really? That's what you took from this piece?

    That may be a bit of a reach. He said he's 'not the biggest sports fan'..........which probably means he'd prefer to play. Many AFL players say they don't watch much sport in their downtime. On the other hand, his early career promise (I thought he was going to be better than Keiren!) did indeed lead to......not much at all.

    There aren't that many pre-premiership RWOers left.

    But I remember lots of other threads which were extremely funny - and ended up in the paper. There was one I recall but can't find which involved people arguing whether the Paul Roos no frills midfield was based on a Spartan model.

    I remember Nico having a go at Jude Bolton that ended in the papers.
    The eternal connundrum "what happens when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object" was finally solved when David Hasselhoff punched himself in the face.

    According to Shane Crawford he knocked back an offer to join the Swans in 2005 which he was ready to accept, but only to decline after we won the flag as he then thought the timing wasn't right. Wonder what he thought 12 months later when we made the GF again! He also earlier knocked back a huge offer from Port Adelaide few years after they'd joined the competition.

    I didn't interpret the article in that way...not at all.
