  1. Does "under 22" refer to Jaidyn Stephenson's IQ?
  2. Neil Balme has been appointed as Head of Football at the Adelaide Crows, which is a very good get for them.
  3. I don't have the transcript to hand, but here's a photo of a recent interview with an umpire.
  4. Hmmmm. Is it just coincidence that jumbo likes this post? Further, is it true that jumbo's all-time favourite album is Fleetwood Mac's "Tusk"?
  5. I don't want either of them to be winners tonight, but clearly one of the teams has to prevail. It's then a matter of who I would take most pleasure out of seeing lose and, on that basis, I find myself in the unfamiliar position of hoping that Port wins ... by a kick after the siren.
  6. My concerns with Hibbo are that, in recent games, he has been very fumbly with the footy and prone to slipping over, both of which are usually signs of a career in decline. I'll back the Footy Department to make the right call.
  7. Are those jumbo jets (or gumbo gets)?
  8. As mentioned earlier, he is ineligible due to suspension.
  9. Excellent work and nice to hear some decent accompanying music for a change.
  10. I was living in Warrnambool in 1976 and waited outside the record shop for it to open on the day that "Black And Blue" was released and thus become the first person in town to own a copy. From there, it was straight home to listen to it on headphones three times in a row. You might say I was rather obsessed with The Stones! Today I'm wearing an old t-shirt that has a large picture of Charlie on the front with the caption "Charlie Watts And His Fabulous Rolling Stones" written in large letters.
  11. I now declare the mini-quiz solved and therefore closed!
  12. The answer lies in the first sentence of your reply.
  13. As your punishment, you are ordered to check out this week's quiz question in the Brian Taylor thread.
  14. The decision has been taken to retain the same 22 that got the job done last game. What is unknown until about an hour before the game is which of the four emergencies will be the sub.
  15. It was Petracca standing on the mark.
  16. No change is justified. Id be surprised if Jordon isn't the sub.
  17. So Brian Taylor now has something in common with Niki Lauder and Margaret Houlihan. Hey, that can be this week's quiz! PM answer to me if you know what I'm referring to.
  18. Ollie was from Echuca and that's where he and Jack Viney were childhood mates. With a name like Wines, Port does seem the obvious choice however.
  19. He could have hidden it, but Carlton people have never been keen on the cap.
  20. It's about to hit the shelves. Here is a sneak preview of their chapter about The Teague Train. Anybody who doesn't feel a little sense of schadenfreude at Carlton's plight would be Lyon. .
  21. Yep, that's an eyebrow-raising suggestion that I'm not even sure is permitted under the rules.
  22. Referring to the "games experience named on the injury list"? If so, add up the number of career games played by those players on the injury list and there's your total. In our case, it consists primarily of Tomlinson (160 odd) and Hunt (90 odd) plus Marty Hore's few.
  23. You have no defence with spelling like that!
  24. Hassa wasn't originally from Western Australia, having grown up in Merbein in the Sunraysia region and being recruited from Rutherglen where he'd been transferred with his work. He left Melbourne to coach South Fremantle in 1969. Like you martin, I was shattered as Hassa was my hero!
