The very strong South Australian comp was decimated by the inception of the AFL, l am happy to see their teams do well.

Commentators keeping Hawthorn alive.

Sorry to sidetrack, but don't forget the past: "Tassie" Robert Johnson "Hassa" Harold Mann "Diamond Jim" Tiibrook "Tiger" Crosswell "Crackers" Keenan "Spud" Dullard Ian "Tiddles" Ridley "Doc" Roet Mark "Wacko" Jacko. Jackson Johny "Twinkle Toes" Townsend

BBB straightened us up = he doesn't go out.

What about spotting up Big Maxie v Geelong a couple of years ago. Possibly won us the premiership with that kick.

It was fair comment, l thought.

Commentator dwelling on Clarrie's "back-story". Carry, clearly tensed up....

Players are routinely niggled, retarded and interfered before and after they go for the ball. The game has become anarchic, which is either exciting or a turn-off depending on your point of view. The AFL could do worse in these circumstances than bring back Tom Wills' original laws of the game.

Did l hear to be listed "available" if successful session on Thursday? (Petty)

We don't give up. When the Swans piled on goals in the last, we still fought on and snagged a couple back. Since start of last year i don't think we have been monstered in any game (except for Essendon early in the season... even then we pulled a few goals back).

Just throw someone forward. It's worked in the past. Even for a quarter or a half: Ray Biffen Sean Wight Neita Petty Steven May is the man. Then throw someone, anyone back: JVR, Fullerton. We have to get creative.

The bump will go and the brain will stay...

I do recall "Spud" Dullard in days of yore. Not sure how he won that moniker.

That would have been Froggy Thompson...

Congratulations on a brave decision. The AFL needs to examine its core business model, it certainly shouldn't be to expose elite sportsmen to its high-risk rules and the baying of the crowd and sponsors.

I have been wasting my time on AFL stats going over these halcyon years, and the abysmal kicking of these two. If either Dillon or Parke could kick straight we would surely have made a couple of finals appearances in that grim decade.

'Cos Parke would take 15 marks and kick 0.3 and two out on the full...

My golden days of going to the football. Lots of Grand Old Flag passion in the southern stand. No voice-over ground announcers. The Dees often played with desperation, just didn't have access to the top-flight players. The late 70s, by which time Wells had gone to Carrrton, that was a different matter.

League teams on Thursday nights, "Alves, Wells, Flower".

Should watch BM to identify what are correct within-the-rules football actions.

Modern day punters have it so easy. We used to watch VFA on channel 10 with a black and white pixel haze. I couldn't even tell whether Eddie Melai or Fred Cook had the pill. And that was on a sunny day. And we never complained once.

A wise man once sayeth, as long as you can dob sausages it doesn't really matter how they were derived.

The Greening incident was a very dark day. Until the Maynard incident l must admit l wasn't anti-collingwood. I remember other teams, hint: Essendon trying to swipe their way to flags. But now l very firmly have my anti-Collingwood goggles on from that day forth. You could also contrast Maynard's act with the heroism of Brayshaw when he courageously marked in the GF...

Take your point but appropriating common law terminology to sanctify the violence agenda of AFL commission is dodgy and misleading.
