  1. The kid in the swans guernsey at the back of the huddle trying to go unnoticed ❤️
  2. Anyone else having problems watching the replay on kayo today? Every time I try and fast forward through the breaks it sticks and won't reload. It's doing my head in.
  3. What was the deal with the Fitzroy run through WCW? Particularly the back side. It looked like a 5 year old kids school project.
  4. Also played north of the border with his brother John for Plastic Whistle.
  5. LOL. Of course it was 3183! For some reason I had it in my head it was Jack Dyer 😂
  6. First coffee under the belt and enormity of last night only starting to sink in. Did Max really have ten clearances? Who once said that you don't win anything with kids? Ours were really good last night.
  7. I just remind them that their team died in 1996. That usually shuts them up.
  8. Melky having an Indian summer (winter?). Really chuffed for him. The most relaxed I've ever been during a close finish, mainly because I never saw us winning it at any stage. Could be season defining though.
  9. Well I never…..
  10. Not a premiership year Little G but in our first two finals of 1987 we won by 118 and 76 points.
  11. If Fremantle sink any lower they'll have to send down another one of those submersibles to find them.
  12. All good points chookrat. I just think that the use of the word 'membership' has become a nebulous term that ultimately cheapens it's use. By all means sell off three game reduced price game packages at the fåg end of a season when there's no risk of a sell out but they shouldn't be counted on any membership list.
  13. I know it's not necessarily the majority view on here but the only figure of any worth I'd be interested in is how many rusted on season ticket holders (10+ games) each club has on their books. Or at least seperate that number from the Mickey Mouse 3 game for $13 / 2 for 1 deal / free inside every happy meal / type 'memberships' every club fløg off to massage their end of year numbers.
  14. Hard to see Justin 'Smiley' Longmuir being there next year. What odds Hardwick ends up there instead of GC.
  15. Credit to Fremantle. Not many sides can make Carlton look this good.
  16. West Coast and Fremantle game-time booing now at franchise records of 87% and 72% respectively.
  17. Strap yourself in old dee. If our forward line clicks we're coming home like Australia II back in 1983.
  18. Jesus. Just tuned in. 16 scoring shots early in the 2nd quarter for the bummers.
  19. Always preferred Kehoe's round the corner for an after work pint or my local the Leeson Lounge.
  20. With a gorgonzola sandwich and a glass of burgundy?
  21. Schache mounting a case to be named as an unused emergency in the senior squad next week.
  22. Yeah, for sure Kev. Gave me the impression that the majority of their members might be GA as level 3 was quite full. We would've had at least 2k in the bottom deck behind the goals at the Bourke St end.
  23. I'm on the Sunbury line THBT so I feel you. At least I could catch a V-Line train in and out yesterday as there's a station almost the same distance from my nearest metro stop. I think the stadium is a bit like the Docklands area itself and might take a few attempts to get it right but you can't deny that the ground itself is in a great spot.
  24. We sat on level 3 on a dockside flank and it looked like an even balance of supporters in our area at least. I think there were a lot more than 2k of us there. It's true the ground doesn't have a lot of character but the AFL are working on changing that as could be seen with all the boarded up entrances to the ground. It's in a prime spot of the city with metro and country train lines feeding into it too. I have to laugh when I hear people say they won't go to a ground in the centre of town of the same city because it's soulless. They've clearly never had to make the journey to VFL Park. Can you imagine a supporter of Spurs or Arsenal scoring tickets to an away game against each other and saying they would love to go if it wasn't such a soulless bowl. I just read it as they can't be @rsed going, which is fine.
