whatwhat say what

so if queensland is not opening borders until september, how does that effect the six teams that will be based there?

use yr imagination to work it out @58er

clearly that was "fun" not fun

chapel st, prahran is way more fun at 2am than main street, corio

really? my word, from someone very close to the family, was that thompson was always going home to adelaide at the end of that year - his preference was the pear, but they couldn't get the deal done he was a fab player - i was ropeable when he left and watching him play 300+ games across the course of his career with the cows vexed me no end

it's pretty awful hopefully he recovers okay, but it's hard to imagine football is his priority if his first action post-lockdown is to go out and get into a barney that results in him being stabbed

stabbed in the chest in the first night post-stage 3 lockdown... Admin Edit:

gaddy

we didn't get moloney for ottens we got him, effectively, for that traitorous so-and-so scott thompson

that sound far too sensible to happen

i only started following footy in the mid-80s, but mine would be: B: Neville Jetta - Sean Wight - Alan Johnson HB: Brett Lovett - David Neitz - Steve Febey ? Robbie Flower - Clayton Oliver - Stephen Tingay HF: Garry Lyon - David Schwarz - Aaron Davey F: Brian Wilson - Allen Jakovich - Jeff Farmer Foll: Jimmy Stynes - Todd Viney - James McDonald I/c: Nathan Jones - Max Gawn - Adem Yze - Greg Healy very tempted to include anthony ingerson or - preferably - paul prymke in there as additional tall cover down back, but i figure dollars can always push defensively to help shore up the backline if required also a massive fan of glenn lovett - some of the best hands of any demon i've seen others under consideration: jack viney, graeme yeats, rod grinter, travis johnstone, andy lovell, brad green, shane woewodin, bernie vince, russell robertson, cam bruce, jeff white, matthew whelan goes to show how few "stars" we've had since the 'modern' afl era when you look at that side - and those that we have had have regularly been broken by injury

mclean, sylvia, moloney, watts...seems it was culturally endemic throughout the club during the mid-00s

He was exactly the sort of player we needed to get out of our club - as he himself says, he was partying too hard I think he read the play beautifully and got himself a nice extended and expensive contract at the Blues when his form over the previous few years probably didn’t justify it - he definitely wasn’t the player he promised to be; more Marc Macgowan than Rob Harvey - the article talks about his ‘leg speed’ and I genuinely lol’d cos Chook was as slow as treacle I wonder how much gear he was raging on the night he poured a bucket of pish all over us on the couch... Ironic that he did so while at Carltank, the only club with an assistant coach who happily admitted they were tanking

No wonder he was finished as a footballer by 28. Brock McLean’s double life battling alcohol and drug issues and an eating disorder — and the remarkable road back

so the afl is making an announcement to declare that they're making an announcement next week? meanwhile, 21 people diagnosed with it in victoria in the last 24 hours much as i keep telling my children re returning to school in a month...let's see how the next month or so plays out...

Tom Browne is having a shocking run of announcing things on twitter only to be proved wrong within the matter of hours

he's been doing this thing every week during the downtime; reckons that the dees one is one of the hardest he's had to look at as we've not had many stand-out players or periods of time over the journey nevertheless, not a bad side B: Laurie Fowler – Sean Wight – Alan Johnson HB: Brett Lovett – Gary Hardeman – Adem Yze C : Stan Alves – Greg Wells – Robbie Flower HF: Garry Lyon (Capt.) – David Schwarz – Brian Wilson F: Jeff Farmer – David Neitz – Allen Jakovich Foll: Jim Stynes – Gerard Healy – Todd Viney I/c: Max Gawn – Nathan Jones – Clayton Oliver – Brad Green Coach: John Northey they also teased that they've got a demon on the 'sacked' podcast this friday and that it's a doozy

other reporters saying it's bollocks; no picks involved in the penalties

Crows copping $100k fine and losing two draft picks apparently, according to Tom Browne

wish this was the finale...

fox sports has been doing it for years during the escort community service cup makes no difference - a lot of them are still terrible play-by-play and 'special' commentators fox generally has a body on the ground so it'll be interesting to see whether 7 do is bruce going to be calling from a bunker in adelaide while the others are in melbourne?

love big max, but can't go past dollars

i think you'll find both dees and the filth are keen on this as the first game of the new season, as it falls in that sweet spot of mid-june when they think they might be able to get up and running again however, i can't see how it could possibly make sense - why start the season on a monday arvo, meaning these two sides have a week off the following thurs-sun, presuming that the plan is that matches will only be played in 'normal' timeslots as they have said as recently as yesterday?

at the time i think i wanted $cully and trengrove at 1 and 2, talia at 11, and then to call the filth's bluff and pick luke ball at 18 i was in the room when whoever it was doing the draft - i'm pretty sure it was vlad - announced that we'd picked 'luke......tapscott' for about half a second i thought we'd shown some backbone and not kowtowed to eddie i'm with you @Earl Hood - wanted hurley at 1 in 08 but i think the thought at the time was that we'd gone frawley the year over the forward in jack riewoldt, so it really was a choice btw watts and nic nat c'est la vie

ye goodness, those were the days neitz, schwarz, robertson, green, farmer - not a bad forward set-up!
