Could the whole deal be a huge weight on his shoulders? 16 Tons is a huge weight, let's face it.

Or maybe he was suggesting that Number 16 will become a Starr? Bailey Laurie to be be nicknamed "Ringo" henceforth.

That might explain why he was wearing an eye patch at the time.

McHale played 261 games for Collingwood from 1903 to 1920, a huge number for that era. He won one GF as a player, one as playing Coach and seven more as Coach. 191 of his games were consecutive, which was the VFL record at the time until broken by Jack Titus in 1943. As we all know, Jim Stynes then became the new record holder with 244 but will likely be passed in 2025 as Collingwood's Jack Crisp needs only eight more games to take the mantle.

I asked an AI Generator to produce an image of Kane Cornes holding a rhyming object. The result was just as I thought.

A fool on a yule?

I heard a whisper that his new nickname is "Shetland".

Nice Wilbur Post.

You'll find one located on the grounds outside this building.

Don't wish to be a neighsayer, but this thread has turned into a 'mare. Stop being so filly.

I wouldn't be upset if they ditched both Welcome To Country and the National Anthem before games.

We could enlist students to provide in-depth training reports in a thread titled "Under The Microscopus".

You're meant to spray it on your clothes and skin.

The mere thought of this makes me hurt almost everywhere. Twice! I learned that Gout Gout is actually an unintentional misspelling of Guot Guot (pronounced "Gwot Gwot"), much to the chagrin of all of us who like to make a play on words.

Forget the Aerogard, there are far better insect repellents out there. Bushman's is stronger and more effective as it has a higher DEET content. However, the best I've ever used is an organic product called Nature's Botanical which requires only a small application and which flies absolutely hate. It's active ingredients are rosemary and cedarwood.

Travel is a fact of AFL life. So are injuries. Players get injured in intra-club games.

Why?

Yes he is, provided of course he doesn't get reported and rubbed out for an offence in 2025. The suspension he copped in 2024 has no bearing on next year's Brownlow, even though he will serve his three week sentence at the beginning of the 2025 season.

Anybody else find the jerky, wobbly camera work really hard on the eyes and difficult to watch? That is not a criticism of the content nor the club's efforts in putting it out there for us.

Near enough's good enough when it's in the Currant Bun.

First day of the Test, first session, first over, first ball ... Starc gets Jaiswal LBW. Wicket!!! The Australian reserves come out to the huddle with drinks. I mean, really? After one delivery?

I'm not into nicknames and never use them, but that's very good. Probably shortened to Banger. That was Robert Harvey's sobriquet. Time for a refill?

Where there is a will, there is often a hundred relatives.

Twain never played but he's a well regarded junior coach and mentor. One of his more successful proteges is the recently drafted "Huckleberry" Finn O'Sullivan.

He is not going to get anywhere doing that The trainers took the rear view mirrors off the bike later in the session. Since then, Rick hasn't looked back.
