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

Taylor Walker - sanction for racism
There's been a discussion about this taking place on the Jack Viney thread. Merge perhaps?

The players or the stadium surface?- COVID & AFL 2021
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.- COVID & AFL 2021
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.- COVID & AFL 2021

Not sure that was ever a position, radar!- Position names
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!- Jeff White King Hit

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.- Position names
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.- What they're saying in their Polo Shirts at 42 Bishopsgate Street.

Unrestricted Free Agent isn't he?- Jack Viney Suspended for 2 Weeks

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.- Jack Viney Suspended for 2 Weeks
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.- What they're saying in their Polo Shirts at 42 Bishopsgate Street.

I trust you didn't slip with the razor and give yourself a nasty cut. If left untreated, that can result in arsenick poisoning.- Jack Viney Suspended for 2 Weeks
