  1. Not so much the penny dropping, but more the fact that he has a midfield that knows how to deliver the ball. His belief in himself has skyrocketed and it shows!!
  2. Is there any chance we can get oppo goals as well so we can get an idea as to how the game itself is going? Thanks yo all, regardless!
  3. Is there anywhere one can listen to (or view), this game?
  4. And talking of hanging on, can we run a book on how many holding free kicks are given against TMac?
  5. I’m thinking Billing’s may get a full game and Laurie is the sub.
  6. As much as I dislike the Pies as a traditional enemy (I was around for that golden era into the mid 60’s), I really do not like these generalisations about their supporter base. Are we all up at the snow during the season? Are we all sitting in the stands with our plate of cold cuts, the best brie/camambert and a glass of cab-sav? I’ve seen plenty of bogans in the red and blue that would give the worst Collingwood supporters a good run for their money. I’d love to see our supporters getting more vocal at games, although I think the problem lies in getting the numbers of supporters up… individually our supporters are probably doing their part, but Collingwood supporters sound louder because they are out in force attending the games.
  7. I’m not sure… what do they say? 🤣 EDIT: haha, I missed the post after the one I’m responding to. I never had that problem fortunately as I was very careful about where I ate. I actually put on weight while I was there! But I do know many people who’d attest to the truth in those words.
  8. I was there a long time ago (early 1989 I think it was), so I’m not sure whether there were using modern conveniences at that time (were they even available to those motorcycles produced in the west, back then?). But yes, you’d see them everywhere loaded to the hilt with both produce and human cargo.
  9. Yes, he does tend to do it as well (I’d rate them almost even in that department 😁)… it’s frustrating.
  10. He still gets me worried when he tries to take on too much rather than attempt to hand off the ball when he has the opportunity.
  11. Is it the Indian Enfield? Saw a lot of those on the roads in India… magnificent!!
  12. That is one of the better footy photos I have ever seen. Sometimes you don’t need spectacular marks or big hits being caught at just the right moment, to show what this game of AFL is about. A photo that captures not just the moment, but captures the emotion of that moment, can be far more effective. The look of concern in May’s eyes sent a shiver up and down my spine and almost brought a tear to my eye. It’s the photographic equivalent to a medieval painting by the likes of Michelangelo. It’s a rare gem! (settle down Tim, settle down!)
  13. Yeah, I’m pretty sure it was a bloke who did my family tree… and he did a pretty good job. On footy though, I’ve wondered whether it would be worthwhile having a successful backline player coaching the forwards.
  14. Is it Laurie’s fault that he gets selected? If you were in his position, would you be putting your hand up and saying “oh no, I can’t play, I’m not good enough”? Perhaps he’s not up to AFL standard, but there’s really only be way to find that out for sure, and that’s by playing him at AFL level. Last year he showed signs, but this year he hasn’t delivered on them. I find your line “He deserves nothing” to be particularly abhorrent! He is trying his hardest and that appears not to be quite enough, but it is hardly his fault. It’s almost like you’re accusing Laurie of letting the club down.
