Can someone tell Abbey Holmes to tone down on the dramatics?

Pendles has got a minor knock to the leg, not a career ending fractured leg in 8 pieces.

 

Leave Abbey alone BBP!

    Pies first gamer, Irish recruit Anton Tohill is son of Anthony Tohill who played a game for us in the 90’s. He is listed as 200 cm! Interesting to see how he goes.

    Why not!   Can't stand Port and would love to see them miss the double chance / home finals.  Hec I'd love to see them miss all together.   That song pre match and Kochy always predicting they are on for the premiership every season ?

    They even played that song with no crowd in attendance. ?

    And Travis are a scots band. You might remember the tune Why Does It Always Rain On Me. All Celtic supporters I believe (puke).

    Can someone explain what the rule is that pertains to "front on contact" is?

    Why does it only apply to marking contests and not when a ball is rolling in a particuler direction.

    The way I see it is you cannot take a mark running in the same direction as the ball for fear of touching an opponent running the other way.

    Generally I love women in the media and can't stand the blokes. But when AH gets going . . . . . . she goes off like a frog in a sock.

    Yeah, I haven't seen it in ages but bringing it up now makes me want to see who might be streaming it online. I love the desert landscape and spent a bit of time around the Mojave a few years ago. One of my favourite films is called Bagdad Cafe which was filmed in the area and has the same sort of vibe to it.

    Glaswegians (from Glasgow), or Glesga' as we say.

    I think it is about interfering with the marking contest/genuine attempt.  Players who don’t have eyes on the ball and collide with a marking player are deemed to be interfering with a genuine attempt.

    And that song Calling You from Baghdad Cafe is so good! Another film from that era was the Coen Brothers effort, Raising Arizona.

    It’s big in Northern Ireland too. Gets a good run in Derry Girls.

    Yeah, love that song from the movie Hardtack. The cafe is in Newberry Springs and was known as the Sidewinder Cafe back then. I camped next to it for a few days when I was taking photos in the area. Barely a soul around. The film itself has a beautiful light to it.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
