Phuuuuuuuuuuk. Good point. Now I'm worried. BG will never kick 18 in a game now.

took us 55 years to find an injury free, sane, high quality footballer to wear 31.

As I have pointed out for 10 years here . . . not one player in the last 40 years has gone back to Perth of their own volition and been as successful as they were in Melbourne. Arguably, Wiz came the closest.

Unbelievable. 2 mins to go. 67 to 52 Saints way. Say what you like about Lyon - he can coach.

IMHO . . . Those that are arguing for one week and comparing Kossi's sanction to bumps handed out to others, are overlooking one basic, fundamental fact about the human experience. There is no justice in the world. And operating under the illusion that there is only causes sorrow and pain.

What odds simmo doesn't make it to queens b'day?

Best I've seen - in no particular order . . . Scott/Tuck/Matthews Fitzpatrick/Sheldon/Ashman Cox/Judd/Kerr (as named in the granny side) Gawn/Tracktor/Choo Choo Of that lot, only Scott/Tuck/Matthews delivered multiple premierships. My view is that premierships are all that count. Every player I know off would swap an AA, B&F or BL for a premiership medallion. So on that criteria, Scott/Tuck/Matthews win out with Fitzpatrick/Sheldon/Ashman a close second (Sheldon had moved to the HBF in their second premiership - his place in the triad taken by Phil Maylin. When Dees pull another flag in six months, Gawn/Tracktor/Choo Choo stand with anything I've seen in 50 years.

What? Seriously!

I follow Norf with my Mate, who's mad Norf. So know a bit about them. As I have previously remarked, they are no where near a bad as some pundits think. There's eight players that get a game at Melbourne. West Choke, EssenDrugs, Horethorn, St. Kilda would be lucky to have eight between them.

We tried moving him forward @Jaded No More. Mixed results.

None of us can stand the Filth. But based on 2022 and one game in 2023, they are light years ahead of 12 other teams (at least). It's an awful reality with which we all have the come to grips with at sometime.

I love you Rubbish Binny. But this will bite you on the bum.

When we have to play at Pork-barrel Park, let's point out the phukkkked-up nature of the ground's shape.

As I understand it, the CBA describes and defines the minimum rights and obligations of the parties. This includes injuries. Individual contracts further refine, within this framework, specific arrangements put in place for the player.

Does that include Ginnivan?

Nothing unreasonable about this at all @picket fence. People ask me, who's going to make the eight? And I always arrive at the same answer. Jeelong and South get a free pass curtesy of AFLney. We make it of course. Then quite frankly, the rest are all around 12-18.

Absolutely. Never any dramas. There's always a few blockheads around at any ground, but on the whole, the Western Oval was okay (and brilliant in 1987).

Nope - it was you.

Watching the usual first game of the season snooze fest and LMAO.

1.5M a year between 'em. Amazing. Throw in McGovern and you have the price of a bedsitter in the back streets of Bondi Beach.

Could be quite uncomfortable for all concerned.

That's the Tommo I remember as well. He was easily inside our first 12 selected back then. Hasn't been the same since his injury.

The only thing missing from this game is Phil Gibbs and Ted Henry on commentary. And it's just gone 8:30 - what's on SBS?
