Not football related but when Elton John married David Furnish one of the English tabloids ran with "Elton takes David up the aisle"

hahaha!

Or "What goes on in Elton's John?"

Surely the best ever sporting headline came when the lowly-ranked Caledonian Thistle thrashed Celtic in the Scottish FA Cup a number of years ago:

"SuperCalaGoBallisticCelticAreAtrocious"

A couple that are non-sports related..

The midget psychic that escaped from jail had the headline, "Small Medium at Large".

Or the article about the lunatic that escaped from the asylum, was alledged to have sexually assulted a lady at a laundromat, but is still on the run. Headline read "Nut Screws Washer and Bolts".

The London Sun had a ripper many years ago, around the time that the Major Government was up to its eyeballs in sleaze.

The Government released a tough Budget, prompting the headline: "Now we've all been screwed by Cabinet."

Other faves include:

Headles Body in Topless Bar (N.Y Post) ; and

Iraqi Head Seeks Arms (News of TheWorld)

Locally, the Mx had a good one the day after Julia Gillard gave her so-called misogyny speech: "Julia Caesar"

"Snedders dies on the Job"

(The Truth)

There's an apocryphal story going around about the writer compiling a book of stories about public figures who died on the job

The working title: "They came as they went"

Ahh the "TRUTH". My favourite banner headline from the truth was in reference to Bart Cummings having the favourite in the Cox plate one year. The headline was "BARTS COX IN BOX". Pure gold.

In a vague sporting tie in, when Muralitharan's bowling action was scientifically tested after the Daryl Hair no ball controversy, a newspaper allegedly ran with the headline "Hair or No Hair, Murali's Balls are Clean".

Lets Bury the other threads on the AFL commission & list managing so the AFL can move forward!!! Start as many threads as we can to try to bury these sad topics, & hopefully they'll go away.

And most of these distraction threads are by people with small post counts, IMO aliases.

There used to be a guy who played for Claremont called Micock....true story!

He was caught playing with himself after the game. Headline read "Micock can't get enough!" It was a think piece about passion and over doing it.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    2024 Player Reviews: #36 Kysaiah Pickett

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.
