At the risk of flogging a dead horse, surely it's a case of number 16........your time is up! Return to the shed and hand in your jumper. I've tried to defend Raph in the past, but after 6 seasons, surely it's time to recognise he is a shocking decision maker, executes poorly and places his team mat...

He's on the hook again. Now I just have to reel him in. The sook attack has begun!

2000% Milton66? Please explain. Per cent means per 100, last time I looked. 2000% is something Kevin Sheedy would say and it would be hailed as some sort of miraculous mathematical breakthrough, one that eluded the inferior minds of Newton, Einstein and Hawking over the past few centuries. If I've t...

Couldn't agree more with the "underrated" tag for Milne. He's been playing one of the toughest positions on the field for nigh on a decade now, and has been incredibly consistent. He has averaged two goals per game for around 170 odd games (someone will correct me on the actual total). Tha...

Gee shaggy, I might already be the top in my industry. How would you know I'm not? One thing I don't get is the personal snipe just because you disagree. There's a few on here who specialise in that, WJ42.. oops I mean Milton 66, plugger66 et. al. You stated your opinion which is perfectly valid, an...

As much as I hate to admit it, the Goose is cooked. If he didn't get in this week, I doubt he will again this year unless smallpox or similar rages through the club. Max's expected return will only lengthen the queue. Vale Matt Maguire.

Too right Stinger, who gives a fat rat's tossbag what the geniuses on BF, or any others think. I am often bemused at the self-loathing on this site. I was a long time visitor before finally posting. Compared to other sites, you get more than your fair share of good, interesting and readable posts. F...

So Kevin Sheedy has declared Geelong is the certain premier, eh? We'll win the premiership for sure now. That totally over rated buffoon Sheedy has done us the biggest favour of the year. Fair dinkum, he is the "Chauncy Gardner" (aka Chance the Gardener) of AFL. For those of you who missed...

53,448. We pay Collo $200,000. Isn't that the the way it works?

Mark Thompson may be a good coach and a good bloke. I don't know him personally. The general perception (amongst my mates in the media who deal with him often) is he comes across as an arrogant, supercilious knob in his dealings with them. Can't wait to see the supercilious grin slide right off thos...

No doubt he's been one of the all-time pinches in the rookie draft. I must admit I was also skeptical, but a mate of mine (kangas supporter) who follows Box Hill as his local team told me he was a bargain. Apparently his form at Box Hill last year was more than solid, but he was often used as a forw...

Not forgetting that they worship the drug-taking, murdering scum Gary Ablett Sr. and call him GOD!

I'm supremely confident we'll take the banjo pluckers this week. One thing I would like to see is the saints wipe that supercilious grin off Thompson's face. Fair dinkum, has there ever been a luckier coach in the history of the game? After 7 and a bit years, he had a less than 50% win/loss ratio an...

Samoht, that's pure gold. I wondered when someone would parlay the fine harbour town of Nanatuckett into its rightful place in the first line of every limerick. Surely the winner, or at least a decent consolation prize!

As much as I want the goose back in, I think the coach will go for Dempster. Like for like. Would be a massive blow for the goose. I still think there's a spot there for him. I just think the coach mightn't think so.

St.Kilda v. Essendon...the Enrico Misso Cup. BTW, I think it's spelt Kourkoumelis. Happy to be corrected.

If there is to be any change, I say give the Goose a go.

SR is right. Give the boy time. Unlike JW and Melbourne, atm we don't need to "fast track" young players. He will be a very good player, judging him on what we've seen at Sandy this year. RL insists on building bodies that can consistently withstand the rigours of senior footy and the sain...

Bring in the uncle/nephew/cousin rule immediately!

Having Stinger for a mate does nothing for my credibility, Plugger66? In your opinion only. We're not actually mates, as I wouldn't know Stinger if he/she popped up out of my porridge. Just admire the style and content. Or are you speaking for the whole forum again? I'm a big boy now and I get to ch...

Good reply/comeback Saint66au! Newfound respect. Plugger66, it's not that i don't like you or your posts it's just that when people disagree with you, your posts become so sooky, self-indulgent and self-righteous. You're clearly no dill. I really, really wanted you to come back with something witty ...

I know you can tell us what to do on here saint66au, but you and plugger66 really fancy yourselves as moderators of all things, don't you? When we want your "wise" advice about where to go to get our footy fixes and experiences we'll be sure to ask. So far I haven't seen any evidence that ...

No Stinger, it doesn't. I'm only talking about real Grand Finals, 1967, 1989, 1992, 1994, 1995 and 2008! Last year's choke must rate as one of the worst in all sports, not just AFL. They prance around and talk about last year as though they won the big one. If you read that excuse for a newspaper, t...

I know all clubs have stupid fans, but the cats tend to fly under the radar because of their provincial location. They have many more banjo pluckers than you'd think. I work down there a bit and I rate their supporters right down there with Collingwood's, Carlton's and (gulp) Port Adelaide's. Ill-br...

I know what you're driving at Plugger66 and this thread is in no way anti Grant Thomas. IMHO and at the risk of being pelted with rotten fruit, I think GT left a great legacy in that he left RL with a core group of professional and committed young guns. This has been added to by the current regime, ...
