Wonder if Harvey would have given his hatred of Scarlo?

Yep we are in real strife and drawing comparisons with the cats is fair IMO. We are perennial failures. There is nothing in our history that would suggest otherwise and given we had our decade at the top with nothing to show for it just adds weight to the tag / argument. The cats? They went flagles...

Nice bit of sportsmanship for the saints players to mingle with the cats players and have a photo opportunity to support the fund raising of the ex cat vfl footballer. Great to see. Good photo as well

The OP is spot on when he talks about the balance in the sides. Geelong's best players as with StK's at this time could go to any other AFL club and play. At this time however Geelong had some amazing pieces of sheer luck. The father/son rules at the time delivered them some prospects and we all kn...

So the footage shows Harvey & Scarlett shaking hands... while Scarlett is telling us all that Harvey wouldn't shake his hand... Good stuff from a great bloke. He was a good footballer, but I never understood how he could be called "the greatest fullback...", for years he barely had an...

knowing thier luck at the mrp/tribunal this year perhaps they didnt want to risk 2 weeks

Its more like a reality show nowadays. Any gimmick to get in another "interest group" involved. Trouble is they do, BUT REAL sports followers drop off, and they are the ones ya want, once the flakey fans drop off in favour of the latest fad.

No defensive sideto his game, no tank. Has he improved since his first season????

Seeing Lyon has the same game plan for Freo as he did the Saints, is Freos list better or the Saints better ( 09 10), include Pav Sandilands in the lists.

be it Mark Mc Clure David King, Bruce, Derwayne or any of em, they ALL have an agenda for someone or some team. They aint go the brains or maturity to give balanced views on ALL teams and or players.

AFL is really a reality tv show. New rules all the time, and basically "anything" to keep the punters interested. Failed club?, nahhh not really BIG BROTHER will give you some money so you can keep playing the game. No one gets evicted in this reality TV show. bent fixtures, bent salary ca...

Damage control...better to lose by 30 points than be blown away ( even if ya play more kids), hence the Jones and maister

you seem to want to pick a fight......but i will reply anyway... huge difference. with the ones coming by plane on tourist visas.......they're not holding their hand out for a free lunch ffs.... and when they get caught the get deported..ffs..... :roll: :roll: :roll: and if you don't read the paper...

If we are so "bad/racist/embarassing" etc, and have "got it all wrong", why do so many people want to come here??. Easy to say how "bad" we are, yet if our way of life is the envy of other countries i dont understand.

Yes rich white a/holes get away with murder here i agree. Nowadays here in the West the latest generation of indigenoues also get away with murder these days. the police and justice system wont touch them.

He only said what i reckon 90% of fans players and commentators agree with anyway. Good on him for speaking up

Apparently Paul Chapman approached Andrew Demetriou this week to ask umpires to 'let the game go'. So the biggest flopping, head-throwing, diving, academy-award-winning pr!ck, who has spent an entire career playing for free kicks, actually wants less free kicks in the game. Hmmm ... he must be clos...

Didn't Dank work at Geelong as well? And during a period that might interest us?

Yes he did.

NO HE DIDNT

One of the most basic rules in a game that has difficult rules. ...but if its open to interpretation how can it be a basic rule?? Its either a rule or not. Its actually not open to any interpretation. If you try and knock it threw for a point and miss and it goes OOB its delberate. Its that simple....

If he missed the behind than it is bad luck. They are different.

Take this form a Cats supporter, there are a couple of highly talented kids eardsley and Burbury, who would walk into most other afl sides, i think they are both rookies too.

Footy used to ba (basically) an arvo out for the boys. In thier infinate wisdom the AFL want to make it EVERYTHING TO EVERBODY, thats fine, ALAS you have to change EVERYTHING every 5 minutes, to keep "some group" happy. It just aint gunna work long term. The product was fine, now they chan...
