  1. According to his biography "Robbie" (released in 1987 and written with Ron Reed), there were no shortage of suitors. One club offered him $60,000 as a sign-on bonus. That doesn't sound much these days, but it would have paid for Robbie's recently purchased house.
  2. The best I ever saw in the red and blue. If there's a knock on him, you might say that singing wasn't his strong suit.
  3. I can't help but think you'd be much less angry and upset if you didn't choose to watch/listen/read McClure's rubbish, @spirit of norm smith. The only time I'm subjected to it is when somebody (like you) quotes it on here. Just ignore him.
  4. Am I correct in remembering that Barassi ordered Baker to have a haircut and shave his beard when he took over as coach in 1981?
  5. It was part of a collective bargaining agreement between the AFL and the Players Association in 2023. This was 12 months after JHF's departure from North, but I'm unsure if there is any connection.
  6. Yep. The rules have been changed since then.
  7. Under the current drafting rules, the top 20 draftees are initially given three year contracts. Other draftees are given two year contracts and rookies/PSD one year. Of course, these contracts may be extended at a later date if both parties agree.
  8. Why? What's wrong with his current number?
  9. "Oh yeah? Come here and say that!" "Yeah, what Nathan said!"
  10. Demon great John Beckwith made an art form of kicking it deliberately out of bounds from defence. He was renowned for it. It was in the days before the "Out of bounds on the full rule" existed. That rule wasn't introduced by the VFL until 1969.
  11. If anyone's thinking of watching that "Behind The Scenes" video, I'd strongly advise you to take a seasickness pill beforehand.
  12. I think I read that Greg Swann wants to do away with the sub as one of his raft of rule changes. If that is the case, you wouldn't waste a player by having them sitting on the bench for the first three quarters.
  13. Does he live in Geelong? Driving to Casey would just about be a day trip.
  14. Two things that would improve this site: 1 - Sarcastica font. 2 - Return of the facepalm emoji.
  15. In the past 100 years, only two flags have been coached by blokes with four letters in their surname. This stat, not unlike yours, is completely irrelevant and meaningless.
  16. But not as funny as Groucho Marx.
  17. State of Origin lost its appeal for me once we had teams from S.A., W.A. and Queensland in the competition. I doubt I'd be bothered watching it and my only hope would be that none of our players were injured.
  18. Go Fitzroy.
  19. Tonight's the first time I've really watched out for Sam Flanders and I like what I see. He would make us a better side. Diddly doodly do it, Demons.
  20. Snoop Dogg is an interesting choice as Brisbane's sub.
  21. Tom Harley was the Captain.
  22. They are a department of the Crack Squad.
  23. Way to spoil the quiz. Well done.
  24. He'll have Adelaide's first game next year to sit in the stands and ponder further.
