Yes, Roger's Thesaurus. I borrowed it from my brother, Roger.

Look at it this way. All the Pies supporters will now have their hopes up and be dreaming of a Premiership, which will make them being bundled out of the finals all the more sweet for the rest of us.

I've just been reading Roger's Thesaurus. It was educative, informative, enlightening, illuminating, instructive and edifying.

And miss.

Woo hoo!

It would be a shame for the thread to reach 100 pages with a nothing post.

Crikey, WoJu looks very developed in the upper body for a first year player.

I've nothing to add. Just trying to get this thread to 100 pages. edit: Bugger.

I think Clarry will be fine if he keeps off his thumb for a week or so and avoids all hitch-hiking.

Gus is a Restricted Free Agent, which means we can match any offer for him. If we did that and he still wanted to leave, his prospective new club would need to negotiate a trade with us.

If you'd told me before the game that Hawkins, Cameron, Stengle and Dangerfield would kick two goals between them, I reckon I might have had a largish bet on Melbourne.

I've never coached, but I reckon we'd be better off not kicking it directly to the opponents' spare defender.

Just bruised, according to Goody. I hope he's right.

Daisy helped Nhill to their first win in three years. I suspect they had a large night at the club! Sidebar: The motel in Nhill is called The Zero Inn. I'm not kidding.

This generated a massive amount of interest in the area and the game attracted a whopping crowd, which was a much needed financial boost for the struggling Saints and a huge thrill for his temporary team mates. Eddie did his bit by booting six goals, albeit in a losing team. He then stuck around to sign autographs, chat with fans and have a beer with the locals. It's an excellent initiative and I hope Portlarlington gains many positives from Chunk's appearance.

I don't think we have one at the moment.

Well argued opinion piece here from Jake Niall on the Jackson and Brayshaw situations. https://www.theage.com.au/sport/afl/why-luke-jackson-shouldn-t-be-priority-for-fremantle-and-melbourne-20220706-p5azmq.html

Come on SWYL, you've been around long enough to know that the named team bears no resemblance to how they will line up on matchday. Might as well just name a squad of 22 these days.

How about the Van Demons?

The Coodabeens in the 1980s were the first ones to run with this concept to my knowledge. I once shared a team on this forum consisting of dud brothers at Melbourne but it angered and upset so many posters that I had to ask Andy to delete the post.

Was this deliberate, WJ?

That player was Peter Zychla. He only managed 12 games over three seasons and is not well known.
