  1. Very strong breeze across the ground favouring the end Casey are kicking to this quarter. Pies have picked up their game
  2. At least Casey should make a few dollars
  3. Crowd wise like a Collingwood home game Very uncomfortable on the Berwick hill where there is generally only around twenty people
  4. Hi can someone explain what's happening with the Casey numbers? Are the numbers listed in the OP those that will be worn tomorrow? Many thanks
  5. The Age is reporting that the ejected patron claimed that he called the umpire "a bald headed [censored]" PS : How is the alternative word for whip... censored... obviously I live a sheltered life clue.. it is the verb for a flogging
  6. Looking forward to sitting on the Berwick Hill tomorrow and enjoying a bacon and egg roll (provided they are not sold out pre game like last time!!). Is Bradtke really playing ??
  7. My pick is Stretch as the hold over emergency so the Casey team will be a good one. Pity that Omac is not there.
  8. Must have missed it.
  9. the stadium the AFL purchased for negative equity ??
  10. Powerful sentiments Little Goffy.... but damningly accurate:
  11. I thought you were joking but just saw the article.... unbelievable
  12. watched 15 minutes of the Carlton v Brisbane game... as well as being poor standard impossible to see due to sunlight and shade. Off to clean up the shed instead.
  13. Geelong are lucky enough to have senior players who contribute significantly week in week out. They have four or five players who are plus 28 who feature in their top 15 each week. Remind me in that sense of North with Harvey and the Saints withe Riewoldt, Montagna and Milne. They have also lucked into youth in the form of Kelly etc. Hell..... I'm jealous
  14. 'Tracca..... if you don't get it I have to wonder where you have been for the last fifty years. There is no room for what happened to Goodes. It is an event albeit small in comparison to the events of the last two hundred years that should make us all stop and reflect. Sure there may be room for discussion about what changes should flow but definitely there should be change..
  15. I have nothing to go on but perhaps Gill may get a gentle push in the next year. While the financial KPI's are good there has been some stuff ups that haven't' done the "brand" much good. If I was a club chairman I would want to know why we weren't onto this concern some years back. The apology now runs hollow as LH says. The turning point if not before may be the next round of TV rights negotiations. It may not be pretty.
  16. you have it in one MR or should I say three
  17. yep at least four men attacking the ball carrier and of course when we have the ball our players run away, refuse to shepherd and then the ball carrier fluffs the handball or handballs to the player one metre away who gets closed down. PS.. it did work against GWS and the Hawks last year I must admit.
  18. Would like to think you are right but I think that Goddwin will believe that with his three "ins" in the backline that his chaos game will get them through. It may well but as we all know it's not a sustainable gameplan over a season.
  19. nothing over the last two years suggests they are. Collingwood also took the Tigers apart at relative full strength using a controlled gameplan.
  20. just won the last 6 straight to take the second set !!
  21. Great signing. He would have received a decent salary offer and mid 2021 if he performs he will cash in big time. Good luck Sam
  22. doing an MFC but not over yet
  23. Time to engage in that perennial Melbourne supporter activity of picking a second team to follow for the rest of the year. My favourite is GWS. The reason.... they're like fantasy football with their umpteen first round choices that you can then trade forever. Also their winning has little emotional impact upon anyone. Tonight's a tough one .. the pretentious against the entitled (not quite as entitled as Hawthorn though.) In a lacklustre round as was last week there could be a few upsets so... Richmond Carlton Gold Coast GWS Eagles PS time to watch the World Cup... go Sam Kerr !!
  24. sponsor paying by purchasing memberships perhaps?
  25. Did they ever resolve the ownership of afl.com. IIRC correctly it was originally registered by a domain name miner. A quick google search shows a site offering the domain name for sale.
