  1. * checks to see when we play Carlton ... and it's not until round 22. Oh well.
  2. I don't know what their definition of "elite" is, but it's comical that they could include such plodders and no-names as Jeremy Finlayson, Sam Switkowski, Lincoln McCarthy, Zac Williams, Nick Hind and Dylan Moore. Jack Sinclair gets the nod but his team mate Jack Steele does not. The whole thing is risible.
  3. Might you be thinking of round 23? We belted them all night in the Prelim.
  4. Have you tried treating them with a Moggydon tablet?
  5. I recently watched a documentary on marijuana. It's the best way to watch docos.
  6. 9.10.64, Clint. Sounds like 1964 when you say it out loud.
  7. I've never understood people's fascination with golf but, then again, I wouldn't even know which end of the racquet you're supposed to hold.
  8. 1. Sparrow has been cropped out of the image. He was behind Goody's left shoulder. 2. Salem's goal has been attributed to Nibbler. The AFL Record made the same mistake. 3. It ended up in the same place as the Bulldogs' hopes for a win.
  9. Watson, although selected in the 1992 pre-season draft, had retired and never went to West Coast. Sheedy lured him out of retirement in 1993, just in time to play in that year's premiership. He played his 300th in 1994, which was his last year at Essendon. My opinion on the topic raised in this thread is that the only statistic that really matters is winning flags. I've never heard any supporter boasting of how many 300 gamers they've had or how many Coleman Medallists have played for their team and, although "nice", it's not really that important. Team success is paramount IMO.
  10. Best wishes to Walla and I hope things work out for the best for him. I just like watching him play. How many football players get a song written about them?
  11. My crew prefer to have our keg party just before Christmas. We call it "Barrels By Candlelight".
  12. "Bear" is correct in this instance unless you are talking about getting your gear off.
  13. And rightly so. It is their Grand Final, after all.
  14. If feels wrong to "like" such a post, but thanks for sharing the sad news WJ. There used to be a poster on Demonology called Maurie Lithen, but I haven't seen that username for years.
  15. I heard that Yoko Ono has threatened to have her music added to Spotify unless Joe Rogan is removed.
  16. I think I know that family. Was her grandfather's name Robin?
  17. I spoke to my personal horoscope consultant this morning and he told me "The sun shines out of Uranus". He then went on to say that the moon is in the Seventh House and Jupiter is about to align with Mars. The next bit was a bit hard to catch, but I think this is what he said.
  18. You're just short of being a grand individual? Or you're an upside down devil worshipper? Just kidding. You're a grand Demon worshipper!
  19. I read Fred's book a couple of years ago and he pulls no punches about his amphetamine addiction nor the many other troubles and strife that dogged him after his footy career ended. He actually played for three seasons at Footscray (Bulldogs for the younger reader) mainly as a ruckman and defender before making his name as a goal-kicking sensation for Port Melbourne in the VFA. Rest in peace, Freddy.
  20. I'd endorse that recommendation and add "The Boy's Club" by Michael Warner for a disturbing look at how the AFL has been run in recent years under the stewardship of Andy Demetriou, Gil McLachlan, Mike Fitzpatrick et al.
  21. I was born in the Chinese Year of The Rooster and my astrological sign is Taurus. You might think this is a c ock and bull story, but it's true.
  22. Just an attempt at levity, 1964. Don't take it too seriously.
  23. They've got us playing in New Zealand?
