Should have bought an Australian one!

Tingay was from Shepparton, not WA.

From 'The Age' this morning ... From Bruuuuce to Buuuu Josh Bruce’s season-long absence has caused a headache for Luke Beveridge’s match committee this year and prevented Bulldogs fans from affectionately growling “Bruuuuce” whenever the key forward touches the ball. They may have found a replacement in Buku Khamis, who was greeted by a baritone cry of “Buuuu” when the Sherrin was kicked in his direction. Khamis kept them busy with three goals. If he holds his form, he can solve one of Beveridge’s key issues and give Dogs fans something to crow about.

We've got it in us to belt teams by huge margins in the H & A season. Last year we thrashed Gold Cost by 98 points, albeit later in the season (round 20) when we were starting to peak during the run in to finals. I wouldn't be surprised to see West Coast stick with us for a while but then get completely run over by the Demon Machine.

When and why did we start spelling "defence" with an "s" like the Septics do?

Ted never played for us again!

I thought I saw some information that Hurn was being rested this week, but I see he's been named.

Tomlinson on the extended bench presumably as cover for Lever who some observers last week thought was suffering from something more severe than a corky.

I would prefer that the AFL give the fans what they want and keep it as a daytime event but understand that money and the wishes of TV stations rule supreme.

That could be said for all of us at this point! What I was curious about was how Cameron leaving GWS could cause a domino effect - ie, a chain reaction, the cumulative effect produced when one event sets off a chain of similar events.

"Cherry ripe" is another term that is now ubiquitous to the point of being cliched.

Others have said the same thing, but I don't see this at all. Despite making a GF, his team that is chockful of early draft picks has underperformed badly IMO.

Tom Browne also mentioned the domino effect. How do you think this may play out, Luci?

You only have to look at the overwhelming positive response to deejammin's excellent post to realise that you are part of a very small minority here, Franky. Like some others, you seem to confuse "woke" with common human decency and respect for others.

Catastrophisers gonna catastrophise.

Cody is not related to Dale Weightman.

He chose to bump the player with the ball and came off second best. No sympathy from me.

You'd probably appreciate this image of him breaking his collarbone last week.

12" singles were very common in the 1980s and usually featured an extended version of the song. The sound quality was superior to both the 7" single and 12" LP formats. They were usually 45rpm but occasionally one would be 33rpm which would make the record sound like it was The Chipmunks if you weren't paying attention to the label. I've just dug out my "Australiana" 12" and I can tell you it cost me $3.98 and came complete with a sticker on the cover proclaiming Warning! This Offensive Contains Language That Might Be A Record!

Article from Greg Baum in The Age this morning on this very issue. https://www.theage.com.au/sport/afl/collingwood-and-lumumba-a-fairytale-marriage-that-soured-20220510-p5ak7d.html

Just after he made that statement, he had a coffin' fit.

I can't even listen to this song without thinking of those marvellous couple of minutes.
