  1. The two interstate games in a row issue has no bearing on this match as the second of those games doesn't take place for another nine days after tonight.
  2. Steven May can't be far off 100% either.
  3. Why would you spend good money on an NFT? I have NFI.
  4. Posters worried about BBB having to fly need to remember that it's only a short hop (not much more than an hour) from Melbourne to Adelaide, not a long flight to Perth, Darwin or Cairns for example.
  5. Bowie had many records to be proud of, but he preferred to be called David.
  6. Port Adelaide can't be too optimistic about crowd numbers on Thursday night. They're offering two tickets for the price of one in an effort to entice fans to attend.
  7. Marty Fields has this outstanding take on Carlton's chances this year: "Carlton are 13-1 for the premiership. Which means if you put $50 on, you will lose $50."
  8. David, you said that Bowey would set a record if he won. It can't be a record if it's been done twice before. And for YOUR information I cited Buckley and Scott in my post.
  9. Footy fans over-estimate the impact of the "short" six day break between games. I've heard players say that it really doesn't make a lot of difference compared to seven days given their high levels of fitness and the expertise these days in recovery practices. Lever if fit and Brown if available to come in and no unforced "resting" for mine.
  10. That feat has already been achieved twice, David. Nathan Buckley at Brisbane in 1993 and Chris Scott the year after. Justin Koschitzke at St Kilda in 2001 followed by Nick Riewoldt in 2002. By the way mate, are you still in Ohio or have you made your way back to Oz?
  11. If the AFL were to send us down there (not gonna happen) we could be the Van Demons.
  12. I'm not sure what the cut-off point is where you are deemed to be no longer standing the mark.
  13. It's a deliberate tactic. By moving that far away, they are not subject to the "Stand" rule. Of course, it allows their opponent a clear 5 - 10 metre run forward. The Dogs coaching team must think it is worth it. I'm not so convinced.
  14. My English teacher once accused me of plagiarism. Her words, not mine.
  15. That's perfectly fine tu and each of us makes that decision. I'm not trying to tell people to mute the commentary if they would prefer to listen to it. The point of my post is that if you choose to listen to the commentary knowing full well in advance what it is going to be like, then don't clog up threads complaining about it. You know what you're going to get.
  16. Bundle him up in a package deal with Luke Jackson, which should get us something decent in return.
  17. Conversely, we never seem to hear of osteitis pubis any more, whereas it was rife a few years back.
