What happens if a big sinkhole opens up suddenly and swallows you beneath the earth? I'd suggest prevention is better than cure. Keep your eyes open and focus on the ground instead of the sky That's very profound, Scollop. Sensible advice. Way too sensible for this time of year. The days before Rou...

I'm just glad Tim got the help he desperately needed at the time. So many people who suffer mental illnesses of all kinds refuse to seek help because of the stigma involved. This effect is multiplied in magnitude by many times in people who are accomplished, high achievers, and of high intelligence....

It just goes to demonstrate the poor standard of so-called "journalists" in the AFL. Groupthink, confirmation bias, little or no research other than water cooler gossip, and a lack of in-depth analysis. By contrast, even two of our fiercest critics, Lloyd and King have picked us to make th...

He called JW and DH cocks*ckers according to Ch. 7. Mr. Leo Pard never changes his spots.

If only you were sitting on the tribunal, Borat! Is nice!

With Dougal doing a hammy, and his performance today, he must be a rough chance to debut in round 1. RTB will probably go with the conservative approach and bring in the experienced Cordy. I must say I was impressed with how comfortable Schoey looked out there. He could end up as the biggest steal o...

I believe Jimmy just ended his own career, "Hoisted by his own petard". (Shakespeare. Hamlet uses the phrase in Act 3, Scene 4, of the eponymous play.) Having quoted Shakespeare, let me swing to Derryn Hinch. "Shame Jimmy, Shame! " And not forgetting Barry from Broadmeadows, &qu...

We're the Rodney Dangerfield of the AFL. To quote the great man, "I just don't get no respect!"

Billings was an absolute pro - an elite preparer Last two years his body has let him down He must go hard at training…because I can’t remember him getting injured in games (I’m talking about Billings of course*) He’s playing today in a practice match down at Casey. Nothing’s changed…the commentator...

Hymie left Control to become premier of Victoria early this century. He was disguised as Steve Bracks. True story.

That was 2022. I thought we were talking about 2024. Things can change quickly. Just last year we finished above them.

Could've done without the footage of Doug Booth kicking the dog. Sure no one wants to see animals harmed, but it is part of club history and that's what the video has captured. For the record he didn't kick dog he shooed it away with his leg, no contact was made. But there will always be critics! A...

It must be the Adelaide-based teams. Geelong at Sleepy Hollow only. We've beaten them away from their taxpayer-funded dung heap often enough to disqualify them from true bogey status. As for those Adelaide teams, as other posters have pointed out, we don't get many chances to play them at our home. ...

And they are just a few. It's taken you a couple of days to scratch out those names, and I'd suggest you struggle to name many more. Their list is so much better than ours they finished.......8th. I'm still waiting for you to answer the question as to why they have a superior list, not just rattle o...

We are not as good a list as Sydney Explain the logic behind your conclusion, please. We finished above them last year despite having an injury-ravaged list and we beat them the only time we played. On their home deck, no less. There's no doubt Grundy and Adams should bolster their stocks, but even...

He had to take that. The janitor's position had already been filled.

I agree with Scollop. Start him down back, let him learn the game there, and then when he's ready switch him to the wing or even on the ball. He's got all the necessary attributes. Great size, and a build that needs some development, but 2 to 3 pre-seasons should be sufficient to get him up to scrat...

Be interesting if Caminiti said Let’s see you run a lap you fat c***! Disrespectful, but hilarious 😂! I'd pay good money to see the look on RTB's face if anyone ever had the balls to actually say it. It might not be the best career move, either. Best to save it for when you think you're going to ge...

The main thing that has held W. I cricket back is a lack of funds, driven mainly by the unequal distribution of funds from TV rights. India, Australia, and England take the lion's share of the pool, while the minor nations get what's left over. Compounding the problem is that as a collection of nati...

I'll have a go at No. 5 and say Ian Synman.
I'll have a stab at the Dave McNamara bonus question and go with Ian Stewart, Robert Harvey, and the legend himself, Dave McNamara when the award was called Champion of the Colony or similar.

Yes, he will. Provided he wants it badly enough and our development coaches are on the ball. His highlights' videos show he is highly skilled, athletic, and tall. Just what the doctor, or coach ordered. The question now is can we turn all those raw attributes into high-quality performance? I think R...

Cooper is also by far the most reliable set-shot kick for goal we've got. That's not an abundant skill when it comes to our team. I've been impressed with Coops since day one. As BM tells us, development is rarely, if ever, linear. As we all know, Coops got off to a flying start with his impressive ...
