Good point, @sue. Collingwood, who entered the VFL in 1896 have played at Geelong on only 41 occasions. West Coast, who entered the VFL in 1987 (91 years later) have made the trip 27 times.

Casey have the bye this week, but with Salem back in full training, might we see him play part or all of their game the following week?

Interesting table, @whatwhat say what. Only Carlton and Collingwood have an overall winning record against the Cats at home, but both are rarely fixtured to play there these days.

Looking for the raw ingredients? Happy to help!

Yes, you're right. We won that one, too.

The last one I can recall is Jack Viney in 2014 (!!!). We won that appeal.

Long distance relationships are notoriously difficult and I know from experience just how hard it is. Hang in there, @Cassiew. Here's something to help you get through a tough time.

He also seems to have forgotten that 90 point win against "spuds" only last week.

Melbourne FC unsuccessfully applied to have footage shown to the Tribunal which showed that Barassi didn't even make contact to the head and that Dean was staging.

I actually contacted the AFL about this vexing issue, along with another bugbear of mine that is the practice of outfitting umpires in the same colours as one of the competing teams. To my surprise, I received an email response but it was just a generic fob off with a vague allusion to passing my comments on to the appropriate department. This was a few weeks ago. To nobody's surprise, nothing has changed.

Not me! I generally find them tedious, untrue and a self-indulgent waste of time. I'll make an exception in this instance, however.

I think he's more likely to be David's brother, Wayne.

Haha! It's almost like they've been listed simply in order of jumper numbers.

It was Carlton who got lionised last night, not Collingwood.

True dat.

Fev played 187 games for Carlton, but only 17 for Brisbane.

A dirty version of disdain? Couldn't agree more.

I don't think it's the AFL's decision. They don't control the MCG.

At the moment it seems more like nfi, wtaf and stfu.

You may have calluses @Timothy Reddan-A'Blew, but I doubt that any part of you is callous.

Tom Wills is believed to have been influenced by his time at Rugby School in England and also by observing the indigenous people in his area playing Marngrook, although no evidence exists for the latter. I'd recommend the excellent book "Tom Wills (First Wild Man of Australian Sport)" by Greg de Moore for a comprehensive account of his life and times.

I think I'm of a smaller calibre than you dc, but I'm a bigger bore. These puns are da bomb!

Pessimist. I see it as Brodie having one sock that stays up.
