Nah that would of been my Spiderbait, Cosmic Psychos. Hard Ons, Magic Dirt and Fireballs time. Was into a lot of Psychedelic Stoner Rock then. Being a black metal fan I hope you listen to Ne Obliviscaris. They're from Melbourne and my fave Aussie metal band at the minute. Opeth like. If you like drummers check out Kevin Paradis playing Nile or anything Benighted. 

The Hard Ons are still going around, now with Tim Rodgers on vocals. One of the guitarists in my band, Ged Corben, was originally with the Lime Spiders and later, with his brother, formed the Cruel Sea.  I’ve never been much into metal, but have a lot of time for Ministry.

Over the years I’d got to see Lemmy with Hawkwind (awful band), the Sensational Alex Harvey Band, the 101ers (Joe Strummers first band before The Clash), Kilburn and the High Roads (Ian Drury’s first band) and numerous others, but the show that stands out most for me, was getting to see Tim Buckley live at Knebworth in the UK… on a bill with The Allman Brothers and others.

Why not just call him Arthur, then?

All we need now is someone with three buttocks.

Ah yes, as Stuart Wagstaff once said "When only the best will do, and isn't that all the time"??

If he’s quick, we could give him the lengthy nickname of Smoke Stack Lightening.

I'd take him purely if he deletes his cringe Tik Tok account.

Nice tautology!

Ta.

As i said, i knew it would be there somewhere.

But it is in the 'trade period' specific section of the website - and not in the 'draft hub' where logic suggests it should be. 

Wouldn’t you have been better off checking in the pinned post here in this very forum?

Someone just suggested “Shaq Attack” 😳 Hopefully they’re kidding. 

I’d be going the Love Schache route.

We may not be done! Apart from likely departure of Weeds we are working hard on a KPF. 

Brace for a possible 6pm surprise!

Obviously not Schache then, as we’ve known about that possibility for a while now… who do you consider to be the surprise?

True, not my best post, but just so frustrating time and time again..

Yes, but he didn’t select himself to play in those games, and he had been showing reasonable form at Casey. Now that he’s getting an opportunity somewhere else, we should be wishing him the best; even by playing at Casey he still contributed to our club’s success last year.

I'd give Bowey a crack on the kick ins. Has the speed to get the handball receive if he hits up a short target.

No, you give the ball to Spargo, and when all of the opposition players have move to a position about 30 metres out , he lays it off to May who slams it up the middle.

I'm a bit concerned because since he signed that mega deal with Collingwood he's been poor

Not really. In 2020 when he signed, his form dropped a bit (although not to a ridiculous degree), then in 2021 he had his 4th best possession stat for his career and 3rd best hit outs, and then he only played 6 games this year, so it’s a bit harsh to include this year’s stats.

I am probably massively in the minority, but i really love the conceptual idea of a 2 conference comp. 10 Victorian teams play their season and 10 of the rest play their season (maybe with a smaller set of cross conferences matches). Winner of each conference to the national championship game.

Would probably see all the national talent wanting to get to the Vic teams to play on the big stage though.

Atmosphere is just leaps and bounds better for any Vic vs. Vic matchups.

So, what you’re essentially saying is that Victorian teams all get to play each other in their own back yard (except for the arduous trip down to Geelong), while the rest on the teams in Conf 2, get the pleasure of traveling back and forward all over the country, playing each other in Sydney, Perth, Adelaide, and Brisbane. Sounds fair.

Of course. However there have been a lot of mummy's boy comments and talk of 'men not being what they used to be' around here lately. 

I’d say most of those posting such comments are most likely ‘projecting’.

If he was gettable I’d take Graham, he would be a great high half forward.

what do you even mean? tell him he's going to be delisted before his exit meeting?? then its just gonna be a shock to the system two weeks earlier when they're still in season? this literally makes sense. the whole point of the exit meeting is to discuss what their future is and recap their season. no better time to drop the news

In most workplaces, the exit meeting comes AFTER an employee has been given their notice.

I’m all honesty though, how hard would it have been to put our something on his social media simply saying “Thanks to the MFC for drafting me and giving me the opportunity to become a premiership player. I loved my time in red and blue and thanks to the fans for your support. It’s time for me to go home and be with family” - basic decency. He is dumb, no doubt about it, and has been managed poorly by his player agent.

Well, maybe that means he’s on the wrong side of 30, because too immature 😂

* Umps crucified Swans

The weird thing is that on Dees supporter pages on Facebook, many are posting about the how “the umpires must be on the Swans payroll”. This despite the fact that the final count was 15-20 in the Pies favour, and that something like 5 of the Pies goals were a direct result of free kicks.

Do you have a link to the stream?

Nice night for it.

Has anyone actually been able to watch this NAB League GF? I’ve checked the article both in the App and on the website,  it have not managed to find an active link to the live coverage.

Absolute nonsense. These guys have given their all and came up short, and no doubt will now  suffer the insults from salty supporters both online and whenever they go out in public. No young athlete deserves to be abused simply because they are well payed.
