I hadn't heard of them as a clothing company and assumed the Tobacco advertising laws still applied.

Thanks for the info.  

The Peter Jackson suit ads were almost as famous as the Kevin Dennis car ads not to mention the Franco Cozzo...... "norta melbourne and foot- is- cray"

Go. Support the Scorps and support the Melbourne players. The Dogs fans get behind their VFL team so we need our fans out there and in full voice!

Been out of the country for a couple of weeks so am VERY keen to see some fair dinkum AFL when I get back on the weekend.

This NFL circus stuff where they take 3 & 1/2 hours to play 4 x 15 minutes of (alleged) action does my head in - (altho' the cheerleaders provide an interesting distraction in the dull moments).

Hoping like crazy that the 'Shitihad Curse' doesn't afflict the Scorps!

After the Carlscum debacle and the slaughter at the Cattery, anything which provides the Club with a sense of momentum would be extremely welcome.

No Don't, I took my Mrs to Bunnings for a sausage on valentines day and she didn't appreciate it.

And she still has the nerve to tell me I don't care about her.

Some women are never pleased.

On a footballing note I read that Salem is considered likely to play. Our erstwhile reporter has posted the link above.

I have to say I find this incredible. Salem was out like the proverbial light yet they are saying the concussion was very mild.

With all the concerns about, duty of care and litigation, not to mention the possibility of damage emerging later - why would you take the risk?

He was apparently pretty good in the rooms and then went straight home to rest. The Doctors obviously think it is not a risk, or he would be out.

Yes no doubt that is the case RL.

However I still find it difficult to reconcile with way he looked after the hit.

After our last meeting with St Kilda, I swore I would never go back to that shocking venue.

However, I am making an exception this weekend as I feel starved of football already and excited about seeing Casey in the GF.

I was talking to a former Casey player yesterday (he left at the end of last season) and he feels Casey have it over the Bulldogs and will win comfortably.

Agree Uncle, not worth the risk IMO. Will win confortably without him anyway! Mild concussion who are they trying to kid!??

    THE CAVALRY ARRIVES by Megg

    The injury plague which has beset the Demons 2024 campaign is finally starting to dissipate and with consecutive wins over GWS Giants and a 2-point nail-biter in Adelade, a sense of optimism is rising.  Some commentators are now asking whether the Dees can make finals? A huge surprise with team selection this week when it was announced that champs Olivia Purcell, Paxy Paxman and Eden Zanker would play.   Hallelujah!  The cavalry has arrived. St Kilda missed the finals last season on pe

    GOLDIE'S METTLE by Meggs

    On a perfect night for football at the home of the Redlegs, Norwood Oval, it was the visiting underdogs Melbourne who led all night and hung on to prevail in a 2-point nail-biter. In the previous round St Kilda had made it a tough physical game to help restrict Adelaide from scoring and so Mick Stinear set a similar strategy for his team. To win it would require every player to do their bit on the field plus a little bit of luck.  Fifty game milestoner Sinead Goldrick epitomised

    REDLEG PRIDE by Meggs

    Hump day mid-week footy at the Redlegs home ground is a great opportunity to build on our recent improved competitiveness playing in the red and blue.   The jumper has a few other colours this week with the rainbow Pride flag flying this round to celebrate people from all walks of life coming together, being accepted. AFLW has been a benchmark when it comes to inclusivity and a safe workplace.  The team will run out in a specially designed guernsey for this game and also the following week

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.
