  1. He doesn't really explain why MtScopus acquisition is a problem, just seems to imply that it is.
  2. "The Colt from Old Regret".
  3. Don't "gallop" to conclusions.
  4. Have we won abt 14 from 16 in finals since the war?
  5. Or the "Fuchsia-son" rule, when it is introduced.
  6. I was watching some Rhettrospective on YouTube(inc. games from the 1960s) and it is interesting to note how umpires protected the ball-carrier, and a player's back couldn't be rammed and targeted, as is now commonplace.
  7. Norm Smith was a Collingwood supporter, just saying.
  8. There may not be enough water for everyone.
  9. Skilton and Ridley did a great job with available cattle.
  10. Don't you mean Wacko Jacko and a few hand stands in the goal square?
  11. Didn't we also beat Sydney Swans in NZ around those years?
  12. Congratulations on making it to AFL level football, Sam. And anyone good enough to play for the mighty Red and Blue deserves the highest of praise.
  13. Diamond Jim was tracking upwards in his last season until he got injured. Diamonds are forever.
  14. The AFL are essentially a gambling organisation with a commentary overlay and a bit of footy on the side.
  15. Oh dear, Carol bangs on about her mighty Dees but meanwhile at Tiger land who is going to whip their suffering fans into a frenzy with four leaving...
  16. Are you insinuating something? https://getyarn.io/yarn-clip/63dea3f3-733d-4101-bf0c-32cb921b3342
  17. I wouldn't be going too hard against Swans, they just peaked too early. It's a bit like the Melbourne cup. Swans gave their supporters a lot to cheer about during the season. They were actually very lucky to get past GWS, virtue of some last minute heroics. We should worry about our poor ladder position.
  18. I wonder if any other demon tragics are dining out on these glorious black and white, kick and hope uploads by son of Kevin Bartlett, Rhett Bartlett. This latest game l had only previously seen bits of. Now a massive upload, with our lack of forward line on full display. Both sides struggling to string together passages of play. No doubt the injury to Barassi (plus dubious umpiring) led to this loss. Fortunately we avenged ourselves ('88, '89 from memory).

  19. Wondering how the pic was added, because there seems to be a 5.58KB limit to attachments...
  20. There is an ad on TV at the moment where Heeney takes a speccy on Petracca's back. Of course ball-player Heeney does not dig the knee in, he turns a bit to the side to complete the mark. If any duty of care is to be discussed re Petracca it should start with some of the poentially life-threatening football acts of digging the knee into a vulnerable part of an opponent's body. Blaming the GPs for all of this is just - in the words of Jihn Kennedy, just kicking the can down the road.
  21. The AFL is the father, Brisbane and Swans are the sons.
  22. Good luck to the ghosts of South and Fitzroy.
  23. I paid big bucks to get the Ken Dakin ABC radio commentary and it seems this was a very scrappy game. Barry Bourke takes a match-saving mark on the goal line just before siren. Minutes before he was part of a chain of handballs and passes which got the ball to Hassa. Hassa the misses a sitter but moments later winds up with Dixon, then Crompton, then history. Fun facts: Ron Barassi kicked 0.4 and Barrie Vagg, 0.5.
  24. I was once told that the (channel 9) videos were once destroyed in an act of petulance when channel 9 lost TV rights.
  25. Interesting that they are now enduring their longest era without a flag by far.
