Great idea, @hardtack. Get to it!

Apparently it's now OK to kick an opponent. The game is disappearing up its own fundament at an exponential rate.

Having a full legitimate Tassie membership would only help if they made the GF wouldn't it? They don't even enter the comp until 2028.

The real question of course is what silly childish name you're going to call the new team.

I quite like the colours, the mascot and the jumper.

She could use her own surname as a press release title if we swap Pettyfor Brown for one of the Adelaide games.

That would just be milking the joke.

That's an udder way of looking at it.

Of course! I discounted our annual bye, but of course we were still in the eight even though we didn't play. 72 it is. That's even more impressive.

Wouldn't it be 69? It's a number that just rolls off the tongue. (Maybe 49 was just a typo) 22 in 2021 and 2022 plus 23 last year plus two this year.

After starting at GWS, Treloar went from Collingwood to the Bulldogs and is still there.

No, you don't have to. You're making a decision to do so. ucanchoose not to listen. Try the mute button.

Yes, let's not allow inaccurate kicking to bog us down.

Sydney should be very pleased with their start to season 2024. They've managed to beat this year's premiers and last year's premiers in successive weeks.

I'm still a little sceptical about all the claims of matches being fixed or being unduly influenced by umpires or that there is a narrative/agenda as to who plays in the Grand Final. BUT The AFL should surely be concerned that so many footy fans are saying it or thinking it.

That's his head.

We drafted Darren in the first ever VFL draft in 1986 but he refused to leave South Australia and our hold on him lapsed after three years. Andrew wasn't drafted by us at any stage.

Not necessarily. He's one of the possibilities for the bench but the final 23 is yet to be confirmed. I don't think he deserves to hold his spot BTW.

The banter in the outer at the old suburban VFL grounds in the 70s and 80s was almost worth the price of admittance alone. There were always plenty of very funny comments being yelled out, but not with malice or spite.

I still have PTSD (Post Templeton Stress Disorder) about that. At least JUH still has two intact knees.

Telephone message for Geelong Football Club ...

Throw in some carrots and peas and you could make a meal out of it.

All aboard the reality bus!

Is that because they're ravin' lunatics?

States have always had their nicknames. Western Australians are known as Sandgropers, Queenslanders as Banana Benders, Tasmanians as Apple Eaters and so on. South Australians are called Crow Eaters. When it was time to name the new team, they realised that everybody would call them "crows" regardless of any other chosen name so decided to stick with that nickname. Further, facts don't seem to have much bearing on teams' nicknames. You'd be hard pressed to find any lion, tigers or bears in Australia. The presence of saints in St Kilda is also a matter of opinion.
