  1. More like 3,000 years old. First with Greeks and the Romans perfected it. The Persians were more the long sword guys. Perhaps we could take a pointer from Cromwell and his long pikes
  2. Post above suggests new guidelines. Pre pandemic dogs were very welcome. I can recall Neville Jetta and his family having a lovely little dog at Coburg. Went to Box Hill immediately post pandemic and certainly lots of dogs... all well behaved
  3. Tomlinson on Dixon I assume and the following week on Walker. After the bye on Daniher Tough ask perhaps
  4. As you say let's see what tomorrow brings but Fullarton is a long way from the proven player that Tomlinson is. You also have to ask will TMac and BBB be able to deal with a five day turn around. Could Lever make it back for the second SA game. Lots of unknowns
  5. A very good team effort against an opponent that played a very old style gameplan. The Lever interview was perhaps a little worrying in that it sounded like he's resigned to missing a couple of weeks but he's glad it's not more. We have some gorilla forwards coming up in the next few weeks so Petty may be spending some time down back. Great to see Fritsch with a bag and two goals by Chandler at key times
  6. bad luck BBB very close
  7. Fritsch having a well deserved day out. Chandler with two key goals. Some good take aways from this game
  8. Good few goals but those injuries could trouble us over the next few weeks
  9. With the Hawks low score this could be a good percentage game if we can get some flow going
  10. Went from way ahead on most stats at quarter time to near even. Lucky that the Hawks couldn't put any scoreboard pressure on. Need a better third quarter
  11. That got ugly quickly
  12. Definitely not. They have some young A listers and a good coach. I can't get a handle on Freo. In 2022 it looked like they were on the way to battling for a top 4 spot in 2023 but it's been all downhill
  13. A regulation win coming up. The following three weeks probably decides if we can finish top 4 The Petty experiment is beyond me but I believe Goodwin is taking a punt on an easy win tomorrow
  14. Their corridor game is almost non existent in this match
  15. 10 odd entries for a point
  16. The reverse sub makes a degree of sense Fingers crossed no injuries to a running player as I'm not sure what you would do
  17. Assume that Jefferson will play forward this week
  18. What happened to Bell. He was a more than serviceable ruck
  19. Darcy in for Lobb at the Dogs. Our backline claims another scalp Oskar B also gets a recall
  20. Suns should have that easily. Dogs backline is woeful
  21. A lot of potentially one sided games this weekend. Crows v Cats probably the hardest on paper but of course upsets happen
  22. The good news is that a better team would be taking the Pies apart
  23. Lovely typical Pies supporter hanging over the fence
  24. Three relatively lucky goals to Collingwood 😓
  25. What a terrible start by the Saints
