  1. The stages of climate change denialism: 1. It's not happening / it's a leftie/greenie conspiracy / the scientists are making it up / it's just normal weather changes. 2. Well yes, it's changing but it's always changed and it's nothing to do with us / what acceleration of change? 3. Maybe it does have something to do with us, but it's too late to do anything now / other countries are worse.
  2. Credited with having invented the banana kick in the 60s, he played for Richmond then Melbourne. Also played Shield cricket for both Victoria and Tasmania. Quite the sportsman, it would appear.
  3. I remember seeing Tilbrook play in the reserves at Kardinia Park one day, when the crowd was very small in the early stages of the game and the stadium was pretty quiet. The smack of his boot hitting ball reverberated around the ground like a rifle shot. Biggest kick I can recall at MFC.
  4. Young Neita will kneed developing. (sorry!)
  5. Apropos of not much of all, I saw a bloke in the supermarket this morning wearing an "Air Jurrah" t-shirt. Doubt that there'd be a lot still in existence. Anyone else still have theirs or any poster on here wearing one in Portland today?
  6. Surprising then that you don't know that his surname is Leek. You know, like the vegetable not the wee.
  7. Chicken (real name Wilfred) played 150 games for Fitzroy and won the Brownlow in 1933. He was a tiny 170cm and 62kg and earned his nickname as a child when his mother could never catch him!
  8. That's also my recollection, DD.
  9. Tom Gillies stiff.
  10. Thanks dazzler, never knew Goody had a cricket background. I looked it up and he was co-captain (not a recent concept, then!) of South Australia's Under 19 team, but it would appear that footy took over from that point so I'm not sure how much attention he attracted from the Australian selectors as he never played 1st class cricket. Clearly, he was one of those kids who was just really good at sports of all kinds. Reckon we all went to school with one of those!
  11. They started selling Emu Bitter!
  12. I hope Rance doesn't join the Hell's Angels. Then he'd knock on your door and tell YOU to go away.
  13. Personally, I try to leave no turn unstoned. Happy Birthday to Keith BTW, a young 76 today and doesn't look a day over 90.
  14. Thought you may have been referring to Pork Hunt.
  15. Had your prostate checked recently?
  16. Posters still spell his name incorrectly.
  17. During the season, this site is always much busier after a loss.
  18. He also told MFC to come forth, but they came fifth and missed the double chance.
  19. Unless you're at a night club or pub, in which case beauty is in the eye of the beerholder.
  20. Spot on, poita. It's also important to remember that any food fills up valuable beer space in your stomach.
  21. Think that might be a noun rather than an adjective, but your point remains. Kudos Biff!
  22. EFA
  23. Because people mistakenly thought it was the start of a new millennium because it was the year 2000. You're still making the same mistake. I'll dumb it down for you. The first decade is years 1 to 10. The second decade is years 11 to 20. The third decade is years 21 to 30. The first century is years 1 to 100. The second century is years 101 to 200. And so forth. The first millennium is years 1 to 1000. The second millennium is years 1001 to 2000. Etc, etc. There is no year zero. The first year is year one. The hundredth year is year 100. The thousand year is year 1000. If you still have doubt, Google it.
  24. 2000 was the last year of the previous millennium. It was the 2000th year. The new millennium started in 2001. Why do you think Federation occurred on 1st January 1901? Think of it like your birthday. You don't turn 21 (for example) until the end of your 21st year, or year 21. You then commence year 22, your 22nd year, at the end of which you will turn 22. 2021 will be the start of a new decade.
  25. That was how Nigel Smart earned the nickname "Notso" wasn't it?
