I didn’t like it. I’ve never been a fan of his, although he’s always had excellent guitarists who went on to better things; Ian Rilen being a case in point, playing with Rose Tattoo and then moving on to X and Sardine IV, both infinitely better bands, in my opinion. No, never met him either. Didn’t mind RT back in the day but my reply was certainly not personal. I’m more annoyed with the whole event being Angry's fault for the past 35 years and he is always in the same bucket as the abysmal meatloaf performance when this topic is discussed. Okay for sure the 1991 show wasn’t great, but it’s always Angry getting the blame and not the AFL or whoever organised it.

What was actually wrong with Angry's performance? Just because Decastella and some other (American?) 'celebrity' were laughing began a narrative that the entire half time show was all his fault. He sang 1 song and the batmobile would have had nothing to do with him. Play it again and tell me precisely what was wrong with his performance.

I hear you but the reality is given now that Aussie Rules has morphed into an enduro sport it's probably important for the players to do those warmups pre game. I wish the two's still played before the one's but there is stuff all chance that'll happen on a regular basis again and even if it did am certain the turnaround wouldn't be 15 minutes like it used to be. Probably 90 minutes. I can put up with some music pre game but the scoreboard ads and announcements drive me nuts, especially when trying to talk to people over the racket. But given I don't get to matches anymore am uncertain if it's improved or got worse. I thought I read an article a few weeks back where they were going to tone it down a bit?

I read the other day the Stadium bill passed in the Lower house with a scoreboard like the 88 Grand Final. Uncertain as to what the Upper house will do.

Sandman, Hells Bells are great walkout tunes that we've used. Acca Dacca 'Long Way To The Top' could be appropriate for this season. But in my mind, cutting those tunes off to break into the Grand Old Flag trumpet intro sounds so lame.

So 4 teams play wildcard with the likely outcome the 2 winners are smashed in Week 2 by 5th or 6th who had a week off. Not a fan. Channel 7 pushing this barrow?

Waiting for the ‘Sack King’ thread!

Out coached once again. One goal in a half is unacceptable

Living in Thailand, tomorrows game will be over by 1.30pm here. So if we have a surprise win, that will excite me or we play like our form has dictated thus far and get belted again. Then I venture into town to drown my sorrows and forget about the footy for the final day of Songkran (Thai New Year) with all the associated water shenanigans going on about the place.

Would I be right to suggest Hawks hat trick was assisted due to them being strong at that time and expansion teams GWS & Gold Coast comprising the draft for a couple of years? Not putting down their efforts which also had them runners up before the hat trick. Just an observation.

I’m living overseas these days, but retained my AFL membership at around $700 PA in the hope we get to another GF I’ll get a ticket and fly home for a couple of weeks. Now reconsidering that decision because to me it feels like the 1970’s all over again and seems like we will never be back in the mix. See how this season pans out to see if I renew AFL in 2026. But being a 40+ year mostly suffering MFC member I would sign up for a basic MFC membership. But they need to stop serving up that carp we have been subjected to the past 2 weeks. Beat Geelong? Doubtful but FFS at least have a crack!

I don’t think he was hired as an executive. I do suspect they had him on ~300K per year to come into the office once or twice a week to play solitaire for an hour.

Possibly the result of using tossed away crack pipes, located in the vicinity of Smith Street, for building nests.

No issue with the colours, but the jumper design is pox. And that stupid looking logo that looks like a lifesaver has been spaghettified by crossing the event horizon of a black hole. Who was the idjit who approved that? Not even sure they still use it.

Lost confidence in Weed when he missed that goal against Adelaide that would've won it. But good luck to him in what he does going forward.
