Question without notice: (or relevance) Why does Disney cartoon dog Goofy walk on two legs but Disney cartoon dog Pluto walk on four legs?

That would be in the starting 22 (as opposed to the injury sub or one of the three emergencies).

I recently heard about a new young adult novel in which Schrodinger’s cat and Pavlov’s dog team up together and get into all sorts of whacky adventures. Just the perfect birthday present for my nine year old niece I thought, and so dropped into the local bookshop to buy a copy for her. The owner said my description rang a bell, but he wasn’t sure if it was there or not.

I think this is the third week in a row that Brodie has been named on the extended bench or as an emergency. Can't imagine it's for anything other than cover for Max in case of a last minute injury or such.

The eight bench players are named in order of jumper numbers from lowest to highest. You can tie me to an anthill and smear my ears with jam if Petty isn't in the starting 22.

I'm not sure the fraud charges against Egan are of any relevance to the contents of the Hawthorn report.

I don't think we've heard from previously regular posters @faultydet nor his brother @ding since last year, either.

I asked my Scottish neighbour about this and he said that there is nothing worn under his kilt. It's all in perfect working order, apparently.

Kozzy Pickett kicked six last year v Port Adelaide in Alice Springs.

Do we want to play the Lions in Brisbane? Paging @Dee Dee Ramone and/or @Dee Dee... Gabba Gabba Nay.

Put him in a number 9 jumper and security will mistake him for Charlie Spargo.

Nor I. You don't flirt with your form nor take any game for granted. Players will get a week off before the finals if anybody needs a rest.

Shannon Hurn, the only Eagle to play 300 games, has announced his retirement. This thread deserves to be pinned at the top of the board IMO.

As has been posted on numerous occasions, JJ is a Free Agent.

Wait until the day you realise that there is no AFL footballer still playing who is older than you.

I was referring to the leaders' board rather than just our game, dc.

Didn't Goody say in his presser that he's still another week away?

Just like the Brownlow, the lion's share of votes go to the midfielders. Nary a defender in sight.

Identical votes from the two coaches!

I had to laugh at how the Punt Road End forum deals with posters swearing. Instead of (censored) or ******* the filter replaces the rude word with *smile*.

Nice of you to bring a touch of Pett symmetry to the discussion, @rpfc.

IF Grundy was traded, he wouldn't be a Free Agent (attracting a compensation pick) so any draft pick and/or players would be negotiated between Melbourne and his hypothetical new club.

I thought Nibbler was good today with 22 touches and six tackles. He made some mistakes but so does every player. He's this year's whipping boy though and any little thing he does wrong gets called out by some posters.

Simply inspirational and an out and out champion of the game. There's another little Gawn on the way too I believe, a sibling for wee George.

I'm not as convinced as some posters that Buddy Franklin's last game (if he's fit) in Round 24 will give the Swans any sort of boost against us. I just don't see it as a strong motivating factor.
