  1. Yeah. It got that big log off last night, though he does come from the same team as the one man MRP so no real surprise.
  2. There are thousands of ex AFL players and I would put little faith on what 99.9% of them say
  3. Haven’t read all the posts but not sure that it is player hate rather than form hate. I doubt if any of us want him to fail or hate him; indeed if he finds his best and his disposal improves we will all be happy. Sounds like a classic Richo dummy spit. Cant see him staying on the list as he doesn’t have any special tricks which a small player in particular needs. (And as one can see from my faves list he has been one of mine)
  4. Just looked at the Carlisle Riewoldt hit Cant argue against high contact, high impact and at very least reckless Wonder which way Christian’s roulette wheel will spin on this one
  5. Remind me which team did Mr Christian play for. This was always going to happen. So I take it Your Lordship that you are not an alias of Broooose McIvaney. And I agree, a dirty dog and not a defender’s #$&@$#&
  6. In fairness they also had to play well enough to squeeze into the 8 first (which we haven’t done forever and a day) But yes, a manic finals campaign and Murphy aside a good injury run.
  7. FMD Footscray played like dogs in the third quarter. How did they ever win a flag. PS and the fourth has started even worse for them.
  8. The big difference is the climate, not the travel time .... but then as you. say the AFL would argue only the one point.
  9. IF there was a skerrick of integrity and even handedness at AFL HQ both teams involved in games at Darwin (or Cairns for that matter) would get a bye the following week, so ............
  10. Surely the lower placed team winning would always be to our advantage - then it is entirely up to us to keep winning In the first 5 minutes maggots have put themselves in the line of fire at least twice. Now they have been declared sacrosanct (most of the time anyway) they seem to think that players should avoid them without taking any personal responsibility
  11. Did he have that annoying squeak (beautifully described by Wadda We Sing) before or do we have Rod Grinter to thank for that?
  12. Pardon my ignorance but can someone clarify what exactly is the status of a cat B rookie? Are they totally ours or do they still need to go through the draft in some way?
  13. Added pace, no foot problems, and of course a pretty straight shooter.
  14. Probably, only as a result of injury, has close to zero trade* value. If fit would give him another year to prove himself again; there are a few ahead of him I would delist. * what is his contract status?
  15. Is that Tom and Oscar?
  16. Need to smash pies and dogs regardless of this result. Carlton were cocky (a) because they are Carlton and (b) they were coming off one on the trot
  17. I prefer the MCG! Sadly renaming the soulless concrete box will not make it any more welcoming, nor the viewing any better. Can’t polish a turd.
  18. More like their first beer for the day
  19. I remember the excitement, sitting in the upper deck behind the goal when GL3 snapped what we thought was the sealer, followed by the terror of that last thrust forward by WCE. Cant remember quite when but Alan Johnson kicked a lifting goal earlier in the game. Horribly wet and pretty cold at old arctic park
  20. Not really much of a gamble at all — all potential gain virtually cost and risk free.
  21. As long as he doesn’t get CP5 to play basketball with him ? And can’t wait for Titus O’Reilly to get on to the fact that “he has a basketball background”.?
  22. Yesssss We have some pretty exciting pairs.
  23. From my personal observations, the Vineys win the contest. Ron Barassi Jnr was an absolutely inspirational freak, but I never saw his dad in action. Are there any here old enough to have seen Barassi Snr before his tragic demise?
