Half-time entertainment? Bring back the long kicking competition and dogs* catching frisbees. *Australian dogs, of course.- Giants' Report Card
Researchers have tracked down the primary school reports of current GWS players. Some examples of their teachers' comments are listed below. It's fortunate for these kids that they grew up to be good at football. Toby Greene - "Toby has set himself an extremely low standard, which he has failed to maintain" Sam Taylor - "The improvement in his handwriting has revealed his inability to spell" Harry Himmelberg - "This child has been working with glue too often" Lachie Whitfield - "Shows a unique ability to turn any maths problem into a story about dinosaurs" Brent Daniels - "Expert at locating lost pencils, except when they're in his hand" Jesse Hogan - "His spirited debates with the classroom clock about time are quite philosophical" Tom Green - "Since my last report, Tom has hit rock bottom and started to dig" Connor Idun - "This student has delusions of adequacy" Callan Ward - "Callan excels at turning oxygen into carbon dioxide" Finn Callaghan - "He should go far and, the sooner he starts, the better" Lachie Ash - "Lachie would be lazy but for continued absence from class" Kieren Briggs - "He has given me a new definition of stoicism. He grins and I bear it" Aaron Cadman - "This student is depriving a village somewhere of an [censored]" Jake Riccardi - "Uses a unique form of sign language, particularly when he thinks nobody is watching" Darcy Jones - "Master of the impromptu show and tell, often featuring items from his pockets" James Peatling - "Shows a deep commitment to ensuring every classroom plant is well conversed with" Toby Bedford - "It would seem that Bedford thinks he is running the classroom and not me. If this attitude persists, one of us will have to leave"- New List Manager - Tim Lamb?

Guy Bradshaw?- Wildcard Weekend
Sorry @Big Col, I misunderstood your format. I thought you meant that the pool finalists play each other twice (once home and once away). Five weeks it is then. Your system would also work with a 20 team comp I think.- CASEY: Rd 17 vs Frankston
Kynan Brown, son of Nathan. He's on the MFC list. Most Demon fans would be aware of this. Anybody? OK, I'm 183cm tall and weigh 78kg. Of course not. Don't you know how drafting works?- NON-MFC: Round 19
Fourth from left on the fence. Essendon fan gets a close up of what a winner looks like.- NON-MFC: Round 19
I'm taking my Camry for a drive to buy a pie floater.- Wildcard Weekend
Nice to see somebody come up with an original idea. The Big Col Finals Format (BCFF) would mean an eight week finals series, but that is absolutely workable if the H & A season consists of every team playing the other teams once only (18 weeks) with one or two byes added. As @whatwhat say what proposed above, the H & A venue would rotate from year to year. It would mean that the footy season would run for about the same length of time as it currently does.- PREGAME: Rd 19 vs Fremantle

- The Run Home
That's only part of the story. He did ride home, but only to have a shower, pack a bag and then hop back on his bike and set off on a nice ride to Perth for the Freo game on Sunday.- Oliver Trade Rumours
The only smoke here is that which is being blown up gullible fools' fundaments.- Oliver Trade Rumours
This is not just rubbish, it's two day old stinking rubbish.- Dan Houston
I'd be very keen on Houston but, then again, I'm a "glass half full" kind of person. I think Dan's more of a "glass about to be empty" kind of person.- 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships
Zeke Uwland is the younger brother of young Sun up and comer Bodhi. @WalkingCivilWar will be pleased that he has an easy name to spell.- Allen Jakovich’s 30th Anniversary
I'm pretty sure I've posted this previously, but it's worth another airing. In a pre-season game v. Collingwood at Princes Park, by quarter time Jako had twice led and marked strongly, converted with two lovely long goals, got reported for snotting an opponent then tweaked his hammy and his day was done.- Max Walker - Demon footballer and Test Cricketer
Spencer was a Victorian lad who was recruited from Portland, just like the recently departed Clyde Laidlaw. He went to Tassie after he finished playing VFL at the young age of 25. - Giants' Report Card
