Did the same apply to the Social Club or GG Higgins Stand? If it's so dangerous, what about those working in the offices underneath the stand? Kingston Council, you dump on the club and you dump on the residents within the area who may have welcomed the proposed social club buildings and more import...

I just the youtube.com of the final minutes of the Grand Final and as usual it bought tears to my eyes. Please, please , please I want that flag, which seemed to be the main theme of my turning 50 speech. Thought I'd better explain the Ian Synam situation. Ian was Jewish and with Grand Final being o...

Just remember for Dale Thomas, long may he have a long and illustrious career but he will always be called Daisy- which is worth a giggle considering it's from a band of supporters who prides themselves on their feral style of living and their macho image.

On Grand Final day look to the Ponsford Stand and ask yourself how many of those people have flown in from interstate of travel packages. Also I'm an AFL member and it's a few years since I've attended the Grand Final purely because I ended up in Standing room, whilst down on Level 1 you'll see the ...

Well, I was all of eight years of age, hence I probably didn't fully appreciate what the the win meant to all of those who had been barracking for the Saints since the 1920s or possibly earlier. Darrell Baldock said something similar about how running around the MCG with the cup he noticed many of t...

I think the sub-editor will have a bit of explaining as it the sub-editor's job in relation to provide the CORRECT photos and captions.
Having said that Mike Sheahan needs to provide a "Correction and we were wrong" in his next column.

I lived through the great expectations of 1997 and that loss still hurts. So let's not worry or care about Geelong at this stage-that's the Bulldogs problem at this stage. Let's focus on the Hawks and then when we get through that, then we can go beserk. None of this is about Geelong. It's all about...

We were in M52, the same bay chocked full with Saints fans last week, and this week we were surrounded by Collingwood supporters.
So much for Ticketmaster selling tickets to keep the supporters seperate.
No-one snuck the Collingwood supporters in, they bought tickets.

I was sticking up for Tony Jones, because he was made to look like his was a liasr and he had made the whole thing up.
I wasn't slagging of at him, I was slagging off at umpire Head and his self righteous comment that night on the plane.

Maybe he'd like to cleanse his soul and confess to what really was said after that Freo game and what lengths the AFL went to make it look like Tony Jones and Saints were the spiteful villians.

And a have acknowledge the Collingwood supporters around us, they actually took the loss quite well and as I've said before those wally Geelong supporters are the new Collingwood and I'm almost at the point whereby I'd rather sit with Pies supporters than either the Hawthorn or Geelong idiots.

They're trying to attract viewers from Channel Eddie, it's like the Hun, they put lots of Collingwood stories in, in the hope the circulation will rise.

I saw the same thing especially when there were 5 or 6 training staff intently watching the warm-up. Clearly he was being tested and Birss was on stand-by. Was anything mentioned in the broadcast?

Two words describe Spida and all the troubles that followed him-

These two issues have never been in control for him and will probably get worse. So essentially a career wasted.

The report was from the end of the training session. Showed a piece of Ross' press conference. Not much to report there.

Not that the umpires we exactly taking any notice of Prismall lying on the ground surrounded by about 5 trainers, they kept calling play on until the ball had to be bounced in the forward pocket.

I've watched other games involving Geelong and it's like they're the new Weagles (the 360 degree chance to get rid of the ball a la Judd). Why? It's like the umpires have two umpiring rules books running at the same time. One is marked "Gee-long" and the other marked "Others" so ...
