  1. Freo Hawks Eagles Port Pies North Tigers Dogs In - Port, Pies Out - Crows, Swans Wooden Spoon - Essendon Premiers - Eagles Norm Smith - Darling Coleman - Kennedy
  2. Gawn is already past Jacobs and Nik Nat is merely a show pony of the first order. Gawn's competitors for the mantle of the best ruck are Goldy, Mummy and Sandi.
  3. Grimes was ok, haters gonna hate, Anyone who wears Hassa Mann's number always gets a free pass from me. Having said that, this was the first time I have seen Hunt live. I was pleasantly surprised, I expect that he will get a few NAB games, and we will see how he goes from there. Viney, vandenBerg and Tyson were a cut above. Tyson's disposal is a bit of a worry though. Salem just oozes class. Harmes and Kent swapped teams in the second half. I would not be surprised to find it was because the coaching staff wanted Hogan to do something other than kicking it to Harmes evey time he got it. Gawn was very good. Spencer was ok up to the time he went off. Dunny will be very glad that he doesn't have to play on Hogan too often. I didn't know who #35 was; I have since found out it was Kennedy - good hit out. It was all a bit scrappy, but early days.
  4. My son, daughter-in-law and grandson live in Basel, which is in the German speaking part of Switzerland. What language will be used is very much dependent on where the case is to be held. It won't trouble the Swiss at all whether it is in French, German, Italian or English, and they are quite willing to chose the most inconvenient one available.
  5. I think that this is an 8-10 year. Much of this depends on us keeping our best team on the ground and the general improvement of our younger brigade. I expect us to be in the throng just outside the eight. I also don't get the hype around Collingwood and Geelong, I think they will struggle to make the eight and that we might even finish above them.
  6. I have seen Jayden play a bit at Casey. Every time he showed something.
  7. We're not actually. None of the major North America sports are signed up to WADA. We are and will continue to be. Anyone who thinks that we should ditch WADA should be made to study the substance abuse problems endemic in the systems over there.
  8. I don't think that you can lift anything with a small cannon.
  9. Peddo wins just about every category though.
  10. All of those teams have won a premiership in my lifetime.
  11. This thread prompted a trip to my mailbox, and there it was, my 2016 membership pack!
  12. What I like about this situation is that we have traded for pick 3 and obviously know who we want at that pick. The only way that we don't get who we specifically want is to be gifted Weitering or Schache. Having said that, I hope that it is Parish that we have earmarked.
  13. Robbin Flower played tennis as a left handed. Everything else was right handed.
  14. Sadly, my children keep going overseas. We will only have one full membership next year, down from five in other times.
  15. The Rising star voting will be most interesting. I don't really care if Jesse wins it but I don't trust the people who will vote; Lewis Taylor, really? If Cripps and Hogan were lined up and you could only pick one for your football club, it is a no brainer. Everybody, even Carlton supporters, would pick the key forward. They would hate missing out on a gun midfielder but key forwards like Hogan don't come along very often.
  16. As someone who has a degree in nuclear physics, I might point out the e=mc^2 is Einstein's energy equation, not his theory of relativity. His theory of general relativity has only one basic tenet, time is not constant. Indeed Essendrug seem to be stuck in some sort of time warp whereby they will ever be under investigation and never recognise any decision that goes against them.
  17. 6. Dawes - who would've thought? 5. Hogan - salivating! 4. Viney - never stops trying. 3. Tyson - working back into it. 2. Cross - never shirks a contest! 1. M. Jones - again, who would've thought?
