I distinctly remember hearing the saying back in the 70's and it might have started then (or perhaps it goes back a long way)

So it's at least 50 years old and I reckon the connection relates to the leading full forward and those who passed to that player in that position

I reckon it goes back a lot further than the 70s, @Macca.

The expression also recognises the skill and total control of the footy by the kicker in that he can deliver the ball so that it lands on his teammates chest lace in or out as desired.

Which game is going to be better to watch, Saints/Geelong or Adelaide/Sydney? Can't decide.

I should be studying up on Sydney ahead of next week but instead I'm watching Geelong hoping for every play to fail and every kick smothered.

Makes tomorrow’s game more important really. I don’t like our chances against the Swans at the SCG.

Tomorrow is a big game, if we lose I will back us in to beat the Swans but it will be a bloody tough game.

Yeah I feel the same, stuck with Saint/Geelong. Would love nothing more for the cats to miss finals this year.

#30 Geelong should go for weeks - reckless kick in danger.  Rather like King v White though missed the face.  This sort of [censored] needs to be stamped out even more than "dangerous tackles".

Last time they met, Nic Newman kept Toby Greene to only 5 possessions.

And that won’t happen again. GWS need to win to secure a finals spot. Carlton coming off two hard games. GWS coming off a bye playing Essendon.

Saints missed two chances to ice the game in the last minute of Q3.  Two set shots from within range - behinds.

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
