l am as bemused as anyone else by their bickering but l didn’t choose them for that minor entertainment value. Both are excellent posters. Wim has as neat a turn of phrase here as anyone and he can sum up a thread in the most concise way.
Benfti has unparalleled knowledge of all things indigenous and l believe was instrumental in helping EFC gain the Tiwi islands as our development zone.
They’re basically like two characters in a romantic comedy who irritate each other and bicker all the time but in the end they realise THEY HAD BEEN IN LOVE WITH EACH OTHER ALL ALONG
This is a joke, right?
I’m happy to believe it’s true.
While we’re on the subject, broadly, even though I have stoushes with certain posters; benfti, IT, historically JBomber although less so these days, the point is that we all want Essendon to succeed. We just have different, and strongly held, opinions on the best way to do that.
So, on my part, any grievances are pretty quickly forgotten.
And I’m very much aware that I’m not everyone’s cup of tea.
I don’t want to be everyone’s cup of tea.
I’d much rather be some people’s glass of bourbon.
Cant we all just be everybody’s West Coast Cooler?
Making underage girls sick since 1984?
The Ricky Nixon of beverages if you will.
I have no beef with Benfti… Don’t always agree with what he says but still, he is one of my favorite posters. His knowledge of young indigenous players makes him a very special contributor to BB.
But to say he was “instrumental in helping EFC gain the Tiwi Island as our development zone” is a pretty big statement.
It is.
But I’d still like to believe it.
I’d still like to believe that Jennifer Hawkins wants me…
This thread is causing me to laugh out loud on the train. You all deserve 3 votes.
I confess, I was only planning on actually counting the votes for this if I won. I’m not gonna win, so I ain’t counting.
So the winner is, I dunno, Rolo or Dingus or DJR, WGAF
vote 1 @WGAF !
LOL

Riolio, if you want to take it to the Supreme Court, I’d start with the invalid votes that failed to nominate 5 posters. I got 15 votes from them, and you got 5.

True, according to your rules, voting closes at the end of this week.
Tripper will lead the rally to ensure my arrogant YES campaign fails.
Can I change the rules so I win somehow? My rules after all.
Or maybe I can just take the moral victory (which as we all know is so much better than actual victory)
