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: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.

    • GAMEDAY: Collingwood

      It's Game Day and the Demons face a monumental task as they take on the top-of-the-table Magpies in one of the biggest games on the Dees calendar: the King's Birthday Big Freeze MND match. Can the Demons defy the odds and claim a massive scalp to keep their finals hopes alive?
