At Least I Saw a Flag

I think you just did!! Rivers and McVee are potential future leaders. Chandler and Sparrow not really. Leaders need to be 'in the play' more, and they often aren't. Ideally JVR stays less in the ruck ... so he wouldn't be in the play too much. (Yeah, I know Neita was a forward, but he was the exception as a leader.)

I don't even want to think about presidents ....

I'm not Old Dee, but I can say that from memory the atmosphere was electric. Having said that I was pretty young at the time.

I was at that match. And yes, Travis played a blinder.

Might need a hyphen there Bluey?

Jack reminds me of my own son at the same age. Very sporty/well liked ... and a Demon. My son is now 31, and hopefully he will well and truly outlive me. I have had the pleasure (mostly) of watching him grow into a fine young man. Jack and his family deserved the same. I cannot begin to comprehend the pain that Jack's family must be feeling. I think everyone, not just the family and those who knew Jack, is heartbroken. I am. My thoughts are also with the other children who were injured.

I met him a few years ago. Nice fella.

A fine endorsement !!

Clearly a nice fella, and we all wish him the best of luck. But perhaps time to close this thread?

Wow ... that's a seriously long paragraph.

They should not be referred to as Collingwood, or the Pies. No term other than "the filth" is appropriate.

World Cup qualifier v Japan. Japan 0 - Socceroos 1 (own goal, lol), 65 minutes gone. _____________________________________________________ Now 1 -1 . (Another own goal !!)

.... and the rich get richer ....

3 - 1 ... goal to Viloupilay (sp) on debut !!

Thanks for the tip ... cheers bro !

Update ... 52 mins ... Goodwin ... cracking goal. Socceroos 2 - China 1

Socceroos had all the play, but conceded a soft goal at 20 minutes. Socceroos equalised just before half time. Now half time ... 1-1.

Not ideal.

The filth supporters are disgusting. They boo all the time ... and yell "ball" every few seconds.

What did he do on Brownlow night ?

What could possibly go wrong?

😁 I know!!!

Yesterday was a perfect day ... so excited to attend the G in glorious sunshine. And really pumped when the match started. Shame the Swans were so poor. And conversely the Lions were so good ... some of their kicks through the middle just sliced open the Swans' defence. I think it again showed the need to have players with elite kicking skills, field and goalkicking. Other skills wouldn't hurt either - handballing/general awareness/contest skills. FWIW, I agree with the earlier comments about Parker. What a dreadful individual.
