If we offered him to Adelaide for two first rounders next year do you think they’d notice the difference?

Thanks for the links DJ. It shows the party's use of the term liberal as far back as it's founding but for a lot of it's early existence seems to be a a mix of protectionists / anti-socialists & nationalists so it doesn't look like the term has every really aligned with their views.

The use of the name liberal for a centre right political party has always confused me FTB. Does the name hark from a time when they actually were socially progressive or is there another reason for their use of the word? Assuming you know the answer of course! If not I'm sure somebody else on here does.

Considering they've rebuilt the whole place from scratch how hard would it have been to move the playing surface 5 metres to the west and make it oval shaped on the Moorabool St wing.

I like our new strategy of recruiting kids that are too far away to even think of going home.

Excellent. We can turn this [censored] off now and forget it for another year.

LOL. Our pick didn't even want to leave his mum's side for the draft. 😂

The GWS pick looks stoked to be playing in front of 4,000 people every second week.

So the live feed crossed over to a room where a dozen blokes in West Coast polos are congratulating each other for picking Harley Reid at pick 1. 😂

LOL. They've just gone with the 7 goalless quarters quote again.

Wow. I wonder if any side has imploded so spectacularly in finals as we have this year. Men's or women's.

Commentators kept saying that we hadn't scored a goal in 7 quarters of football yet we scored one towards the end of the 4th quarter last week.

With the 5 day break between games fast becoming the norm I wonder if back to back road trip games will become a regular thing too. Whether that be two games in Adelaide like we'll be doing or 'slingshot' road games, playing one in Adelaide then the next in Perth. I wouldn't be adverse to the idea.

Can she push really hard for Collingwood to play down there next year?

As a supporter base it means we can get in and out of Sydney before the magpie infestation arrives.

The Alice game will give us a week or so to recover for an "away" game against the pies on QB which falls on June 10 next year. I'm guessing our bye will follow that so will be interesting to see if we get screwed again by playing on the Thursday night after it.

Hi Witches Hat. I think they would host if Adelaide made it through now as well by way of beating them in their Qualifying Final. BTW you weren't playing for us today were you?

This is looking like a choke of epic proportions. Smashed at the contest and in contested marks. Poor decision making when we do get open. Brisbane must be laughing. Had to win the last game of the season to snatch a double chance and now look like hosting another Grand Final. I think that might be 5 quarters in a row now that we've been goalless.

We're probably the match of the round in a stand alone game on a Thursday night so as supporters have an opportunity to get in and out before all of the hoi polloi descends on the place.

Just saw the Crows v Bears score. All set up for Melbourne based games against both of them if we get past North. Everyone else involved in finals really are just making up the numbers this season.

Walked into a deli near home where they were showing the memorial service on a tv only to see Eddie McGuire's massive boofhead filling the screen. That sanctimonious git shouldn't have been anywhere near our hallowed ground today let alone be the MC.

The state of the two Collingwood twerps. Was that a cigarette or a lollipop hanging out the gob of one of them?

The issue is that the AFL put profit above everything else, including integrity. The never ending drive to wring the very last buck out of every opportunity is the reason we have a compromised fixture and contorted tribunal findings when it's "stars" are on trial. Had WADA not been involved there's little doubt the Essendon drug saga would have been swept under the rug and it's why they didn't insist on Eddie Maguire's removal from the Collingwood presidency after he compared Adam Goodes to King Kong. Also, I'm not aware of any other sports that slap adverts all over it's goalposts, goal square, ball, centre circle and field of play.

You're thinking of clunge.
