Who was better? Nic Nat or [censored] and Swimming?

 

[censored] = type of bird that rhymes with pits.

Feels so long since he's played, thought he was already retired

Blue footed booby 


I thought he had retired a few years ago. 
 

Meth Coke certainly know how to List Manage

 

He had some great moments and games but for mine one of the most overrated footballers in the past 20 years.

Was great at hit outs and follow up clearances in his prime but mostly awful around the ground and a terrible mark for his size. The way the commentators used to go on about him probably skews my judgement, but it was unbearable at times.

He had high impact, but he didn't impact often enough.

Still achieved more than the Watts, so credit to him.

Very good player in his day but like the rest of the WC list, has tailed off noticeably the last few years. Their attitude to conditioning left a lot to be desired. The whole club needs a clear out. 

I didn't rate him as highly as many in the media or past players, but his very best was brilliant, exciting, and sometimes helped win matches. But he only ever played 5 brilliant games per season, and was often overweight and unfit. Great person though - everyone who knew him loved and liked him.

Despite the fact he hasn't played for two years, the All-Australian selectors will find a place for him in the squad.

As captain no less… or is that role reserved for Selwood?


He was exceptional in the clearances and blessed with an amazing leap - better than Brandon Starc.

We were going to take him with our No.1 pick all year in 2008, but when Jack Watts took an exceptional mark and kicked the winning goal in the U18 Aust Champs, we switched plans.

And it was because we did that we ended up with big Maxy the following year. Sliding doors moment!

Just an absurd athlete. 
 

Remember watching him live against us and at a neutral game in the same season when he was in his prime and my god, unbelievably agile and back then he looked like he could go from standing to full sprint in a matter of 3-4 steps. All whilst being about 110kg.

Compared Them on footywire. Watts leads quite  few stats despite playing  around 30 fewer games.

And Fritsch as a result of trading Watts to Port

It worked out alright 😉

A player repeatedly touted as a Demon recruiting blunder retires on the same day as a player repeatedly touted as a StKilda recruiting blunder, which handed the Demons a recruiting bonanza. What goes around...

Who'll be first to send condolences to the West Australian media who'll now have to find someone else to bombard their front pages and news bulletins.

They’ve still got Bec Judd😂😂😂

 

Took a massive grab right in front of me once to win a pre-season game in Perth. My hotdog was even worse than possibly imaginable. But I got free transport tickets to the ground, and beers only cost $27 per cup.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
