Talking of family members - not the O’Donnell’s but the Owens. I was watching (on-line) the VFL match, North versus Frankston. Reason I was watching it, a friends grandson plays for Frankston. North ended up by slaughtering The Dolphins. I watched about two & a half quarters of the match. Very ...

Interesting on the article about McQualter that Lyon contacted him as the first person he wanted to get on his coaching team. Mini declined Lyon’s offer & remained with Tigers. He obviously made the right choice, he has now got over half the the seasons to see if he can get the Tigers back in co...

Out of curiosity, who do we think is facing the most pressure this Sunday... Caminiti Sharman Membrey Butler Byrnes Paton or another??? Some reasonable players are looking to be playing AFL in the next one to three weeks. I’m a bit uncertain of where & who this pressure is coming from on these ...

Sharman kept his spot and Cordy isn’t playing. No meltdown, how disappointing. Oh I’m so disappointed our ‘structural champ’ Cordy won’t be playing……… it won’t be any fun reading the Matchday thread on SS on Sunday……. that would have been more entertaining than the actual match itself me thinks. I ...

I agree, Marshall may not be a certainty.
This site will go into melt down if our ‘structural ace’, is included

In my time as a footy fan, the two most racially abused players would probably have been Sergio Silvagni and Syd Jackson. Robbie Muir would be hard to top for me, and Umpire Glen James. Glenn James never, ever gets the proper recognition he deserves IMO. He used to cop some terrible abuse from over...

tas unites for state team Hurricanes Jack Jumpers Tigers Regardless of location BM, you may have stumbled upon some brilliance here... The North / South thing could be leveraged very nicely if they call the thing, 'Tasmania United(' like Man U or Sheffield United. A classic name ..and very cool ide...

I think done right they'll fill it relatively often. I for one will fly down for St Kilda games there and make a weekend of it. Suspect plenty of people will do likewise. In any case- when was the last time we filled a stadium. There is really a lot of ‘kettle calling the pot black’ in some of thes...

It’s over capitalising and a massive waste of money Spend 250-300M on refurbishing 25-30M on a training facility Save 400M on spending which doesn’t need to be spent! If ya fair dinkum about promoting grass roots footy down there. The stadium requirement is deeply rooted in corruption and a gross d...

You're all in luck, got the call up for tonight's game, see if you can spot me out there :D Can you give me a tiny clue what to look for Dudley one? I’m usually a bit slow on the uptake these days. Have you included in the umpiring team? If yes that should put Curly’s mind at rest😇 you’re umpiring ...

One dimensional is better than offering FA Sorry to be hard on Cordy, but I’m calling a spade a spade I reckon if Ross Lyon took a s*** in a saints supports living room they’d think it was gold… and literally polish a turd!!! Just because Ross is picking him, doesn’t necessarily mean it’s the right...

WA has the time difference it has meaning games starting at 7.30PM WA time are starting at 10.30PM Australian Eastern time so finishing after midnight SA has a half hour difference That’s only for a few games when daylight saving is on in Eastern States. (Mid or late March - April depending when Ea...

More importantly was the comment re Tasmania As soon as the AFL announces a Tasmanian team they will decide on the draft gifts that will be given to them. The draft will be severely compromised for a few years. Those will be the years where you DON'T want to be going to the draft. The players left ...

Roo’s kids will probably end up as QBs Oh wash your mouth out B.M - don’t take away my hopes :cry: D.B Cooper has just motivated me to set new goals. To be around & kicking for 2030-2033, to see Roo & Lenny’s boys to strut their stuff in R W & B. I don’t think I’d be up for plane flight...

I just love Boris’ power of concentration. RTB always sits next to him in the coaches box. Often the tv camera pans to the box and Lyon is getting a bit animated (+ & -) and is usually chatting away to Enright on whatever it is that is exciting/disturbing him. Boris always remains concentrated o...

I never realised that, he did seem more subdued after half-time. Good pick up- nobody mentioned it It was close to the boundary at half back flank area. At the time I thought he had done his shoulder or ribs. It was a fair tackle so didn’t get any commentator mention & play went on. So if comme...

Yep it amazes me at times

A few posters have mentioned about Brad Crouch not having a very influential game against Carlton. I can’t recall if it was late in the second quarter, I noticed he went down in a strong tackle on the half back flank, he took awhile to get up & and even though the play had moved on from him he w...

He does NOT take all the kick ins. Maynard took a couple, Moore kicked in and I think pendles did once. He takes about half the kick ins. Because he’s their best kick. He’s got some fair genes. It’s like when Ablett junior was running around . If you’re lucky enough to see their dads play and their...

Thanks ‘magnifisaint’. I at first wondered where you were leading me with all that Big Footy stuff!
Finally got to the article. Thanks it was a good read
