How old were you when that was taken Ethan?

12. 20 years later and I'm still trying to perfect it. The trick is to use Diet Cola.

    My advice is to give it a break for a while Ethan and concentrate on your strengths (eg throwing faeces ) and then come back with renewed enthusiasm.

    Skinny Nadal is very impressive. I wonder which team he will go to.

    Geez. The Swans will have to win 12 of their remaining games to make finals. That is a tall order, I think they are cooked.

    Hawks not far behind them.

    They still have to play each other twice.

    Neither are making finals...  it is beautiful.

    That was a pretty good win by the blues. They are coming off a 90 point win and manage to beat the grand finalists. And you know what Carlton did to win that game. They kicked straight. It sets up a nice game agianst the pies next week. If htey knock them off then I think the pies fans will be calling for Bucks's head. 

    But geez Rohan cannot take a trick. That was a nasty land he had and luckily he appears to be ok. But some footballers are just cursed with injuries. 

    Also well done to Alex Silvagni keeping Buddy to only one goal. Im enjoying this downfall by sydney a bit more than the hawks. Because they loaded up on Tippett and Buddy and they are yet to win a flag. Tippett hasnt been a great recruit for them and I did laugh when Bud said last year he didnt have to justify winning a premiership for the swans. ah Buddy hate to tell you but they didnt get you up there on a massive contract to walk the streets of bondi. 

    It is funny to see sydney at the bottom of the ladder. 

    And the saints wow. Hawthorn losses have been massive margins this year.  But did anyone see the josh bruce miss? That was a disgrace right in the goal square.

    Loving the Hawks struggling; may it continue for 3 decades! 

    Sydney will be ok, but the downturn could take 2 years to turn the full circle. Their young players are very very good.

    Nick Reiwoldt is one of the true living legend champions of our game. Up there with Flower, Skilton, 2 x Abletts , and others. He is still doing all the repeat effort, gut running, pack crashing and game changing that he was doing early 2000s. His body will be absolutely stuffed when he is 40 and no flag but you havd to admire him.

    Don't be fooled by Sydney being on the bottom.  They are more likely to bounce back 2nd half this season and definitely next season than are North or Hawks.

    Sydney have had a bad run with injuries so far (and they lost Tippett this morning).  They have a young list with quite a bit of talent which just need some experience.  About 8-10 of their GF team had played less than 50 games.

    I think Tippett comes out of contract his year and it is hard to see him get the mega $ again so that should free up some sal cap space.    

    They are a very smart, well run club.  Longmire is no dummy and knows exactly where they are at and what needs to be done. 

    This is a temporary lull for Sydney.  More permanent for North and Hawks.

    ...but they made some costly mistakes with Tippett and Buddy.

    It cost them Mitchell this year and maybe a few more to come.

    The type of investment they made demands a flag and I think last year was their best chance.

    Yes they will compete and get better throughout the year but they will need to rebuild.

    Tippett is sure to be on the market at the end of this season and they're stuck with the Bud deal...

    Just saw the crowd at the nth suns game. Wow is anyone there? 

    Why is this game on TV?! Sounds like a game out at Black Rock, with much less swearing and a couple less chit trucks on the ground.

     

    edit: also less dog chit on the ground... The Black Rock ground that is, which is a designated dog "park" when footy isn't on.

    Exactly. Id rather see the derby but unfortunately I dont have foxtel. Adelaide Richmond would have been better as well.

    TV... Game after game back to back and WA is a little too late I'd think.

    This is why channel 7 is the worst football coverage ever.

    They show this rubbish game of North v GC which has only about 13k at the game, while the the WA derby is on FOX..

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

    • CASEY: Footscray

      At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.
