Agree - it's all above the Gregory Peck. If the players have their Billy Goggin's screwed on properly, then a rusty tin will occur

    Yeah there were a few mentions of Rex Hunt against Essendon, Clint. Slipped through the barriers somehow. Don't think that will be repeated this time around.

    This might be the most fun I've had in a thread in a long time.

    It might be because I'm only understanding every 3rd or 4th word.

    Plus Rowan Atkinson gifs.

    Rowan Atkinson offers many great gifs.

    The Scott Bros. are quickly mounting a case for most giffable characters.

    Aren't you Chris....:

    Yep. I'm convinced that if they had a larger stage they would be huge memes by now, like if they were NFL coaches or something.

    Brad Scott's argument with the Etihad roof last year was comedy gold.

    "ian Nankervis" = nervous for those who haven't caught on. BTW my mates reckon I've swallowed the Strine dictionary.

    On another note, the Nankervis bros. were referred to as the Leyland brothers for their penchant to traverse the entire backline when moving the ball forward.

    And, no, I ain't going to explain who the Leyland brothers were.

    For those who don't know...

    I am going to use that from now on - I'm a little Ian Nankervis ( but only on the over 50's)

    :) Choke - use your mince pies to read, then use you north and south and say the words out loud - by then your tram and train will have kicked in  and you'll understand what has been written.

    If not, i think you are cattle truck and will never understand (said in jest)

    :):):) 

    Drinking brown cordial helps (and just to confuse brown cordial is not rhyming slang)

    And drinking too much brown cordial may make you jan juc - if you do, best to be in the don't be funny - and try not to Con Britt at the same time - could be messy

    When I read the thread title,  I thought it was implying that Ian Nankervis was, how shall I say.... somewhat promiscuous and had fathered a large number of progeny.

    Lucky I persisted

    Well I went down to the rub a dub dub last week to watch the Mr Sooty but at qtr time the Willy Wonka behind the bar changed the Ned Kelly over to the boxing!

    So.

    Get on the Bread n Jam and head down the Frog n Toad to the Rubbiddy Dub for a few Richard Geres before the game. After said Sherbets, be sure to have a Snake's Hiss before going to the G. Grab a Dog's Eye with Dead Horse at quarter-time then you might need to brave the MCG dunnies for a Horse and Trap at half-time. If the Dees appear in more s**t than a Werribee Duck at three quarter-time you might be cracking the Jimmy Schmidts, But don't despair, the Rex Hunts still get the Colliwobbles and the Dees can give em the Lemonade and Sars!

    On a similar vein, I enjoyed it when Rex Hunt and team would go through the Zarzoff family tree. 

    We had Rudy, Bluey, Shagga ...

    Oh oh I know these!

    The floggers are BBO's bikie gang!

    The centre diamond was when four men with handlebar moustaches rode their Penny-farthings into the middle of the ground, timing their runs so as to create a 'diamond' in the centre. This was seen as a daring display of skill, given it was the fastest a human being could travel at the time.

    Diamond Jim was the legendary captain of the above mentioned Penny-farthing team. However he is most famous for riding several miles (I am reliably informed that this is a unit of measure and not in fact a person's name) backwards down Flinders St shouting about the health benefits of tobacco.

    And I bet you thought millennials knew nothing about history!

    OK so I think this is a good place for this; with all of the talk about the League tinkering with the rules, the link shows that it has been forever thus.  One of my favourite rule changes is  1955 - Boundary umpires’ whistles first used in place of white handkerchiefs.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      The Dogs reigned supreme in 2018 with an inaugural AFLW premiership cup and the Demons matched this feat by winning the cup as the Season 7 2022 champions.Meggs wasn’t born when the Doggies won their first VFL premiership cup against the Demons in 1954. Covid prevented many Demons fans from legally witnessing the victorious 2021 AFL Grand Final cup performance between the Demons and the Bulldogs, but we all grin when remembering those magnificent seven third quarter goals.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Hawthorn and Melbourne. Two teams with impressive form from last week but with seasons that are travelling on different trajectories meet in Saturday’s twilight game for what could well be the most intriguing contest of the AFL’s penultimate round. Sadly, the game has been relegated to that unappealing time slot in the weekend when Melburnians are typically preoccupied with activities other than football. It falls between the morning's shopping, afternoon sport and recreation, and Saturday night fever. A time usually reserved for relatively insignificant events but this one is not a nothingburger for either of the clubs or their fans.

    • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

      Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Women’s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    • PREGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?
