Why do some posters spell Geelong with a "J"? I just don't get it.

There's been a discussion about this taking place on the Jack Viney thread. Merge perhaps?

The players or the stadium surface?

The decreased crime rate goes far beyond the burglars needing to apply for JobKeeper. The lockdowns also prevent groups of idiots gathering at pubs and other venues then committing random acts of violence, sexual assault, property damage, traffic offences and other forms of drunken stupidity.

I had my second AZ shot last week and have experienced no side effects whatsoever. My GP noted that the number of people coming down with the flu this season has decreased dramatically as a result of the mask wearing and frequent hand sanitising that has been occurring as a response to COVID. Another side benefit is the reported decrease in the crime rate with people staying at home more often.

I'd much prefer a win plan.

Not sure that was ever a position, radar!

I've got ten more lined up ready to go Timothy, but have held off due to puzzle overload on the site. At this stage, I may even wait until the off season when there's not much else happening. Crompton's poser was never solved and I had to PM him to find the answers!

Geelong ruckman. Steven King. Not to be confused with the author - different kind of horror.

I can't see how Maynard is worth anything near the equivalent of pick 10. Talk about overs! In addition, I would like to retain Weed for at least another couple of years. Finally I wouldn't want that seagulling, chip-scab Sidebottom anywhere near my footy club.

Positional names have changed over the years. Back when I first started playing and following footy in the 60s, these were the names used: B: Former rover who has lost a yard in pace Loneliest man in the world Rock of Gibraltar H/B: Enforcer Key Defender Jack of all trades C: Real goer Pivot Racehorse H/F: Avenue to goal The hardest position Will o' the wisp F: Resting ruckman Spearhead Goalsneak R: One kick behind the play Prime mover Borer into the bottom of the pack 19th: Utility 20th: Big-hearted trier In addition, you had those that didn't make the side but were knocking on the door of selection and were running around in the seconds. Among these were exciting young prospects, natural left-footers, honest battlers, bean-poles, big occasion players, nippy small blokes and club stalwarts. Then, by the 1980s, the game and the terminology had changed to read like this: B: Tagger Stopper Sweeper H/B: Rebounder Negator Springboard C: Breakaway Instigator Linkman H/F: Runner Tall option Receiver F: Crumber Converter Finisher R: Tall On-baller Small I/C: Overlapper Tag breaker The backs and half-backs were collectively called "the back half" while the six forwards made up "the forward half". The centre line players were in "the middle" and its intersection with the "central corridor" (previously the goal-to-goal line) constituted "the workface". These days, I have to admit to having no idea. Nor, I suspect, does anybody else.

B = top view. oo = front view. b = side view.

Unrestricted Free Agent isn't he?

That might depend on the size of your neck (not unlike Sam Collins).

Meh. By the way, MENSA aren't all that bright. They always get their NAMES mixed up.

I'm sure somebody posted that Jones didn't even travel with the team on the flight to Perth, so he won't be playing on Monday given the players have to quarantine for seven days.

The difference, as I see it Colin, is that Wallis's dirty punch* caused a serious injury (fractured larynx) which forced Green out of the rest of the game and that it was intended to cause damage. In Viney's case, his opponent jumped straight up and continued on with the game and I reckon the intent was a show of macho bravado, not to injure his opponent. We'll find out tonight how the Tribunal assess it and I'd be disappointed, but not surprised, if Viney is suspended given how much of a Chooklotto their verdicts are these days. * While Green had his arms pinned behind his back by, I think, Damien Hardwick.

I trust you didn't slip with the razor and give yourself a nasty cut. If left untreated, that can result in arsenick poisoning.

I believe the expression is "one and the same". Sorry! My two cents - it was dumb and unnecessary but doesn't warrant a suspension.

On the other hand, if WCE had belted Collingwood we'd probably be lamenting our luck in coming up against a team who had found some good form just in time to play us. MFCSS Rules!

I think it's the same mutant gene that causes some to look only for negatives in a 98 point win.

Given that he had three handballs, he literally DID touch the footy. Only rarely and to no great effect, though. May thrashed him.
