  1. Finally got my stuff today, I thought it would be and I'd just arrived home to see it being thrown over the front gate.
  2. I'm trying to watch the GC game for the second time and I'm at three quarter time right now, I doubt I can watch the rest of the game like last time. It's like watching an under 12 side trying to play against an AFL side, they are just terrible.
  3. Like a lot of others I've had a pretty bad year and winning the flag has lifted my spirits in some of my darker moments. When I get down I throw on the replay and I can't help but smile as it goes on Merry Christmas to you all, I know we can be a bit testy at times but we are all united behind the Dees
  4. I have a few South Africans working for me and the correct way of pronouncing his name in SA is "Fun Royen" Strange but it seems as if the Van becomes Fun.
  5. Even though it's Christmas, I'm not expecting miracles. One for the year is enough.
  6. Just got an email from the club, finally acknowledging that I had ordered stuff from them and telling me that the status of my order had changed and was now shipped. However it also stated that it had no tracking number as yet. I can feel that it's getting closer and I may have it before Christmas
  7. Does Libba think it's his job to remonstrate every time a Melbourne player tackles a Dogs player? Is he the faux tough guy that has to push any opposition player that has fairly brought a teammate of his to the ground. Perhaps if he spent more time getting in to position and less time pushing and shoving he might have been more effective. Jack just gets on with it he cops a wack and just gets up and plays on.
  8. I had a VHS tape of my family's first overseas holiday to Hawaii, I had to lug around this huge camera that held a full size VHS tape, it was something i treasured. Anyway, I had a few of my friends around to watch the football and without me knowing one of these mental giants decided to slip a tape to record the other game being played, guess which one he used.😢
  9. I can see it, I'm not sure what I've done wrong
  10. I know it's all over but this was too good to miss.
  11. https://www.news.com.au/sport/afl/star-western-bulldog-bailey-smith-has-taken-an-indefinite-leave-of-absence-from-the-club/news-story/a7e34f25bb9850fcb2d0d93d383d6d6d Family matters.
  12. Just heard on the radio that Bailey is taking indefinite leave from the club. Hope all is ok with him.
  13. Maybe the black screen is the loop, Old.
  14. https://www.footywire.com/afl/footy/ft_player_compare?playerStatus1=A&tid1=12&playerStatus2=A&tid2=8&type=A&pid1=3820&pid2=3486&fid1=C&fid2=C Interesting comparison between JV and Libba. Over the course of the journey, so far they are pretty evenly matched and JV is a couple of years younger. I know that stats don't give you the complete picture but I think people on here tend to undersell Jack. In his last Junior game, a Grand Final, he was BOG in a beaten side and his teammate T Greene was second best on ground.
  15. Three way tie, Clarry Tracc Gawny Salem next and then take your pick
  16. I just checked my order and it says "Reorder", what is that supposed to mean? If I select Reorder it says which item but it doesn't give you an option to show which ones and I don't want to order them again. Maybe I should just ask them to change the date to 2022 and get in early for next year?
  17. Just remind her how much you've saved by us not winning a flag for 57 years.
  18. If I remember correctly the two SA clubs warned GC that he would return to SA if they selected him. I think they said they would just take him back when his contract expired. Maybe they were correct and he just won't play outside his State.
  19. So far I've got nothing and heard nothing 😟
  20. It is hard to compare, I remember the great Polly Farmer who had a huge leap and could handball as far as most could kick, but was he as fit as they are today, I doubt it.
  21. Rivers hates losing a contest and even though it doesn't happen often you can see it in his reaction. Sparrow can be anything, he's one of my favourites, courage and strength galore. Rivers is 20 and Sparrow is 21, they play like they've been in the system for 5 or 6 years. I used to feel sorry for good players that got drafted by Melbourne because we'd wreck their careers, now I feel sorry for them because we have so many good players they struggle to get a game, look at who we have on the sidelines. Jordon is an example. very good but had so many games as medical sub. How do you fit Hunt, Tomlinson and Melksham and Smith in?
  22. Has any premiership ever brought as much joy to its supporters as this has to ours? I can't stop watching the GF and all the other games leading up to it. I'm so proud of this team, that refuses to give in and has confidence to know that wherever they are, they can still win. It's good to see the supporters are just as united as the playing group. My kids have forgiven me. I've watched all the games we played throughout the season, several times, but I won't watch the Collingwood game, for obvious reasons.
  23. You'd leave Sparrow out for Dunstan? Wow.
  24. I think the goal he kicked after the siren against Geelong, in the final round of the year, will go down as one of the most important in our clubs history. He misses that kick and it changes the whole complexion of the finals. He is a legend and perhaps a bigger legend that a lot of us imagine.
