Left-handedness and competitive sport
Interesting stuff. A particular aspect that I have noted in an anecdotal sense is that there seems to be in the AFL, compared to people I know, a significant over-representation of players who are left-handed but kick right foot, or vice versa. Off the top of my head I can think of J. Brown, N. Riewoldt, J. Lewis, and that’s just on football panels. Demons current and former include Caleb Windsor, Jesse Hogan and Robert Alan Flower. There are heaps more I’ve noted, and made me wonder whether it confers an extra “something” in performance. A leading footballer I know does most things left-sided but kicks right foot; an extra weird kink is that in tennis he serves left-handed and plays right-handed. Former first-class cricketer and sports administrator James Sutherland bowled right-handed and threw from the outfield left-handed - another variation on weird.

One for the ages, this one. At half-time we were 1.11.17. And were in front!! Buried them in the second half with an avalanche of goals to finish with 6.16.52. Classic!

And not forgetting Justin Murphy’s late goal that was given as a point. A great day all round! Doggy Brown’s debut.

Love the motley collection of “uniforms” from both sides in the opening shots from the 1909 GF.

Dargo Hotel - MFC Connection?
Could it be our new training base? At least we’d have the social venue much-coveted by some around here; and we’d be close to the snow for the hoary old cliché-peddlers. No need to worry about prying eyes for closed sessions. Snake count might be a problem for some track watchers.

What date is this account, WJ? Was it in the footy season? (The origins of the “Going to the Snow” narrative?)

Dawn of a new Era - Paul Guerra article 18.10.2025
That’s one way of looking at it. On the other hand other clubs weren’t interested in taking Mr May. I’m just hoping that he’s spending his off season getting himself into as ripped physical condition as he can before presenting on day 1 of preseason.

Why Petracca and Oliver never won a Brownlow
The game where he did kick the winning goal but it was wrongly deemed to have been touched?

We’ve been there, done that. Mark Neeld. Luckily we survived that misadventure.

Brad Green and the current board
Not sure about that, F and T. I thought he was eligible to stand again.
