Salem; 26 years, 130 games. Limited games in his first few seasons, but I can't see any reason why he wouldn't be able to keep playing until at least 40.

Of course, why not.....hamstrings?

When people watch the replay do you just fast forward to halfway through the 3rd quarter because from then on it's just great viewing or do you watch it from the start and fast forward through the dogs goals? 

I tend to watch from the start.  I never fast forward.

are you sure they can't be used for match day? any references?

Thats what it says on the back of my card....

The reason why so few 300 gamers is that we were unsuccessful and rarely played in the finals.  A sustained period of success can add up to 30 games to a career.

Clayton Oliver.

Most entertaining training report I have read.

At the MFC there are obviously no passengers or klingons...

The news coming out of overseas is that Son of Omicron aka BA2 is more virulent than Omicron and will fast become the dominant strain. The more concerning element is that having had the initial Omicron offers little if any immunity to BA2.

If that holds true the opening round should see us deep in the covid mist.

I dont live in the COVID news cycle but nothing I have read concerning BA2 has said that it is more virulent than Omicron, though it does seem to be more contagious.

Then again, as BA2 is now the dominant strain in Denmark time will tell...

And as for the Dogs, if Libba decides to not mentally turn up (again), then they're already gone.

Disagree.  The dogs should be better as E Wood has retired, with hindsight at the end of the prelim. Worst defensive performance in a GF since Ray Boyanich.

Best thing that ever happened was the formation of the Commission and then the intriduction of the draft & the salary cap (and therefore, the abolition of transfer fees)

Totally agree on that.  And paying players out of a brown paper bag.  And after 20 years of misery the Dees finally had a modicum of success.

(TBH I thought this thread, melbourne Kangaroos, was going to be about BBB or Steven Icke etc).

Sack that red backline group, they're hopeless! 😁

and it was plainly obvious that the umpire murdered us.....😃

I watched the replay today.

One thing i can tell you - dont pick your nose after kicking a goal in the GF.

And then there's the advantage the forward can have with regards to free kicks (playing in front) Arms chopped, push in the back, high contact etc etc

Awfully difficult to win a free kick playing from behind.  Not a good percentage play

And if a defender is allowed the front position they can kill the play (or the forward foray)

They can double fist or punch the ball away towards the boundary line or simply mark the ball

A good forward knows how to feed the front & centre blokes too.  If he can't mark it, his hands can dictate where the ball might end up.  But that's reserved for the class forward

Playing from behind, all that is a much harder assignment.  Clangers will eventuate but again, who's fault?

Maybe the Dogs defence needs to read this.  3 of Frittas 6 goals came from playing behind.

(Now putting on my original K Tel Tin Foil Hat, if one considers the space time continuum, does the classification of playing from behind be contingent on which way you are running?  Anyway dogs were swallowed in a black hole).

Fwd line needs space to run into,  and delivery needs to be to your advantage.

If there are no trackwatchers can we be sure that training happened?

This is a deep philosophical question that has come down the seasons in many forms.  (If you make a prediction for the flag/b&f/ norm etc to your wife and she doesnt hear you, are you still wrong?)

I think we should go back to the earliest answer recorded; Yes, God saw it.  (Snr or Jnr).

I've got so rattled spelling JJs name I am going to sit in a darkened room.

Cameron kept the lions in it all on his own

Sure did, and i dont have a problem with that provided there was no other lion matching camerons effort.  He kicked 5 and we won by 34 points.

The Dees didnt lose their nerve when Charlie was hot; we stuck to our game plan.

BT needs to read this. In particular, Rule 5. 

How about my rule 10.

Never attempt to say 'Up country mongrel punt' on air.  (Thankyou Tim Lane)

What got me was how articulate Tom was.

Can anyone remember the early days of TV when an interview would go like

Yes Mr Williamson

No Mr Williamson

Full Back mr Williamson....

Re player number 45....another hyphenated player name.

What a classy club this is turning out to be.

You won't get this sort of thing at Collingwood.

How about will hoskin - elliott....

And remember when they had a Rupert (Betheras?)

I know the humidity has steamed my brain and the ash from the volcano has created a strange light but....

"a player who ducks their head prior to being legally tackled"

Prior means before so as after you are legally tackled, drop one shoulder and get it around the neck and a free kick

or 

duck your head, get it around the neck which is not a legal tackle and get a free kick

And what is the definition of Duck ( no quacking please).  What about squatting or falling like Hunter did to Spargo in the GF.

Ah the English language...

What time does the bar open.....

My dvd player is getting an absolute flogging (like  vs GCS).

And did you know that the Ch 7 commentators never say Dees have hit the front?  What an opportunity wasted.

And how is this for BT nonsense - The reason why the crowd has so many Dees/Dogs supporters is because they followed these teams b4 the Eagles entered the comp. (Um that was 35 years ago)

Nothing to do with memberships been shared across the country or handouts of team colours.

I dont have room for any more merch...

Of course, it was a male only domain.

To a certain extent.  My cousin used to regularly take his younger sister into the rooms after a game. Dressed in footy gear and with her long locks hidden under a beanie in they would go.....never stopped....
