While I don't mind a "whatever comes into your mind" type of thread as Cookie said the problem will be following a topic.
I was going to use the thread to mention that I think Nick Riewoldt is quickly becoming my favourite footy media guy. It sort of led on from Baggers initial post.
But already we've moved on to a different discussion regarding the future of the game.
Now I reckon both these topics "Media and Future of the game" are worthy of their own thread and make following that discussion easier.
Not only that, it gives a greater opportunity to get into a topic in depth.
The question is ...What do we use a General Discussion thread for....I've seen them work quite well on other sites?

I reckon that if there isn't a thread already and one became apparent in this thread then it'd probably get a life of its own and subsequently its own thread. I guess this is a kind of experiment, a place for random thoughts or observations or comments that don't have an obvious home elsewhere.

Basically just everyday thoughts. Random observations. "Has anyone else noticed....."
Things that wouldn't necessarily command a thread that would go for more than a page or two.

Awesome. Such a wonderful culture and IMO its just not taught and shared enough in our schools. I want to learn more about it.

I saw a video of Wild Cherry singing "Play that funky music white boy" for the first time this morning, I didnt realise they were were white!! I always thought that song was by an African American band.

One of my favourite all time bands GTC (along with the Doobies, Chicago, Steely Dan, Journey, ELO, etc) and as a young radio jock in Whyalla SA it was one of the first songs I played. Rob Parissi founded Wild Cherry and is the lead singer/songwriter. Folks rocked up to their first concert and were shocked to see they were white boys (like when they first saw Elvis was white ...and the Righteous Bros. were white.. sorry, I'm getting carried away). They released about 4 or so albums, each one brilliant. Rob Parissi was a huge talent and still performs today and raises money for philanthropic causes.
