Alex Rance [merged]

[Zlatan]

Hardly the thread for discussing the semantics of imaginary friends and blind, irrational belief.

I agree that this isn't the place to discuss peoples views on other peoples personal beliefs whatever they maybe, because it is not the other persons business to put their own perspective (which they can never prove is right anyway) as the only correct one.  That would be irrational and irresponsible whether you have a faith or not.

Not really, was just pointing out the cult of Christianity, and this is definitely not the place the elaborate why it is nothing more and why steadfast faith in something so completely intangible in this day and age is irrational

Fair enough to have your view.
I just want to make it clear that JW's are not Christian.
But they are definitely a cult though.

rubbish

Havent watched much of sundays game. But just thought Rance has really stepped up his disposals and decision making attacking out of defence. Recall one instance in the 3rd or 4th where he looked to go down the line, faked 2 collingwood players out then turned inboard pinpointing a dangerous kick to a richmond player. Fantastic footballer.

It's actually not funny unless you are a Gen X homophobe clutching at straws to try and belittle in order to amuse.

"The world is passing through troubled times. The young people of today think of nothing but themselves. They have no reverence for parents or old age. They are impatient of all restraint. They talk as if they knew everything, and what passes for wisdom with us is foolishness with them. As for the girls, they are forward, immodest and unladylike in speech, behaviour and dress."

(From a sermon preached by Peter the Hermit in A.D. 1274)

We live in a decaying age. Young people no longer respect their parents. They are rude and impatient. They frequently inhabit taverns and have no self-control." These words - expressing the all-too-familiar contemporary condemnation of young people - were actually inscribed on a 6,000-year-old Egyptian tomb.

It's actually not funny unless you are a Gen X homophobe clutching at straws to try and belittle in order to amuse.

In the fourth century BC, Plato was heard to remark: "What is happening to our young people? They disrespect their elders, they disobey their parents. They ignore the law. They riot in the streets, inflamed with wild notions. Their morals are decaying. What is to become of them?"

Point is decrying the youth of the day is a rite of passage when your hair turns grey, you lose the spring in your step and your body starts to sag.

It will come to you as well if you ever stop thinking of yourself.

Why did you require four seperate posts to reply to the same quote? You could've easily put all that in one post.

As long as you punctuate and use grammar and have good set out it shouldn't be an issue

No full stop and "use grammar" just doesn't make sense.

And you can punctuate just by putting spaces between words.

Sure you're not Gen X?

Rance is absolutely invaluable. Would be a completely different side without him. Killed pav tonight. Kills most opponents. best defender in the afl hands down

Richmond would be left without compo if Alex Rance walked away from the game

RICHMOND would be better off losing Alex Rance to ­another club than if he walked away from the game.

The Tigers would almost certainly receive a first-round draft choice as free-agency compensation if Rance, 25, ­accepted a big-money offer to go elsewhere.

The compensation pick would immediately follow the club’s first live pick in this year’s draft, giving the Tigers selections No.11 and No.12 based on ladder positions ­before the start of this round.

But a decision to walk away from the game entirely, something Rance is believed to be considering, would leave the Tigers empty-handed.

While Rance feels a strong sense of loyalty to Richmond, and is widely expected to ­recommit at Punt Rd, Brisbane Lions and Fremantle have ­expressed strong interest in the gun backman.

The Dockers are chasing a prime big man from a group of potential candidates including Gold Coast’s Charlie Dixon, Carlton’s Lachie Henderson and Essendon swingman Jake Carlisle.

It was suggested Rance, who is from Western Australia, could be given one year off as part of his next contract, either at Richmond or another rival.

But the Herald Sun has confirmed Rance has not asked for a one-year paid holiday from the Tigers or any other club.

It has not been raised in ­discussions between Rance and his management or the ­Tigers, the club confirmed.

Richmond declined to comment on the record.

If Rance stays in football, he will honour every season for the length of his next contract.

Why are you responding to a joke article that offers nothin new
FFS, it's a red herring- ignore it

[TigerLand]

Could we talk Rance into looking after the club in some way?

If he does want to quit, at least sign with another club so we get compo and then quit after the draft due to personal reasons.

If Rance quits altogether its an enormous lost in terms of currency. At least if he goes Free Agency we recover some of his worth.
