Fair enough - I didn't hear the sound where I was. I would argue that the umpire has the imperative to ensure that the advantage is real - players are not in a position to judge that. That decision cost us dearly (not saying the game though) because it really gave WCE further momentum. It seemed app...

You know, for everyone who bags them, they've produced three kids who've played AFL football. Not bad. Just an observation. Good call. For all the name-calling they've been very supportive in a very competitive and ruthless environment - I would do the same for my kids. In addition -getting all thr...

Work on the hard ball gets for a while until your 1%ers bear fruit.

Or play in a less competitive league?

The umpire was right on this occasion. Dal could have refused advantage but idnt as simple as that. They are the rules. No use blaming the umps. I don't agree because that's not the case in practice - missed goals get called back (e.g. Wirrpanda's second would have been called back had it not gone ...

"We're a happy team at Hawthorn..."

No wonder!

Sitting at the Punt Rd end just undercover with a misty rain in barely 10 degrees to watch the saints throw away a game against Collingwood with 63000 other deluded fools doesn't sound like the things memories are made of. But it was the day my oldest became a diehard saint and it was #2's first ga...

The whole saga certainly makes you rethink the blind support you offer the club. There's nothing easy about following the saints and for all the promises and hopes, there isn't much in the way of bragging rights. I'm frustrated as hell about our lack of success this year and my perceptions on the Ba...

The thing I've got my eye on is Sydney. We don't want to have to travel there in the first week of the finals should we finish 7th or 8th. I think we would beat them up here if we had another crack. Last time we played mediocre football, they played well, we missed chances, they took theirs, they g...

Blah blah babble about another set of easy beats! Anyway casual friday. I am sitting here with my no.26 Deuce McAllister NO Saints jersey on. Couldn't afford a Reggie Bush one? Or just transferring that unhealthy thing you have for Dal to the NFL :lol: PS I corrected young D eu ce's name for you!

From memory that year kickstarted the first of 4 spoons on the trot.

Not that I'm superstitious.

Well here's my solution in French.


Je ne porte pas le pantalon. Ceci me rend heureux.

My suggestion - go and have a read of this. http://www.fnwb.com.au/img/the_point_of_it_all.jpg These sorts of things have followed this club since before entry into the comp in 1897. We'll deal with it and come out stronger and with one more tale for the grandkids when we con them into following our...

Make sure that remains the case

That's fine with me.



Carry on JB!

Remember folks, we were heavily involved in the court action that dismantled the VFL's clearance rules (which were a clear restraint of trade) back in 1983. Please elaborate.... for those in Sydney at the time... pre-internet.... pre any info at all re footy in Sydney news. We acquired Paul Morwood...

The other 15 teams would be insane not to be chasing Kosi. He's a matchwinner when things map out for him.

SHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

The AFL will count it towards the salary cap if it's revealed here.

No! Be careless!



I'm guessing CJ with Virginia Trioli. It's an unlikely long distance romance.


Will make a great movie linking Gen Y with middle-aged women.

His testimony and his defence are irrelevant.


He was guilty the moment he got his points earlier this year. What was done, what was presented, what was said did not mean a thing.

I'm sick of Coventry's diving.


And bloody John Wren - Collingwood's are 100s of pounds over the salary cap.



That feels better.

Not now that Collingwood conveniently had Steven Baker suspended for 7 weeks

167 - wish they'ld called first, I would have made some scones.



Too late to buy any. No Baker's anywhere.
