    Rumour Best football related rumour you have heard from someone you trust

    Golf mate and ex 90’s Eagle tells me about one day coming back into the rooms after a match the club doc informed everyone that the drug testers where in and they all had to stick around. Glen Jackovich didn’t. Grabbed his kit and bolted to his car, rushing past spectators still leaving the...

    Discussion Worst Jumpers of All-Time: Herald Sun

    I know Andy a little and he told me about this photo shoot, and that for a series of photos they had him wearing a skull cap that made him look bald, like as in a "Bald Eagle". So there are worse photos than this somewhere, and he is hoping they never come out.

    Universal Love Alex Johnson

    Shattered for AJ. I hope he's OK. Watching him run out in 2016 was going to be the highlight of the year for me. If he decides he can't keep doing this then surely we can keep him on or train him up as an assistant coach. Just a reminder again of what these guys put themselves through to chase a...

    Has there ever been a more soul-crushingly tedious team than Hawthorn?

    Hawthorn games are funny because it is so clear 10 minutes in who is going to win. I will buy that Clarkson is the greatest coach of all time. The style of game is so clear and effective. There is always ALWAYS a go to possession 10 metres behind and 15 metres in front. Field kicking is...

    Injury Buddy's Health - Out for the season

    Just pissed off mate. We needed him Sat night, and he wasn't there, and apparently we can't wonder why.

    Injury Buddy's Health - Out for the season

    Got to be. Let's call it what it is. No wonder he's happy to announce to everyone that it's a mental illness. They knew everyone would be on board and sensitive about it. Addiction is different. I suspect he left Hawthorn to get away from it, and it has found him up there. Jecinta was...

    Autopsy Round 19: Sydney Swans vs Geelong Cats. What you learnt

    1. Geelong are the masters at gaming the umpires, and it is keeping this mediocre team in finals contention. 2. Nankervis is the new Jesse White. 3. Jetta seems to be the only one who refuses to lay down (!)

    FTA-TV AFL 360 - 2015

    "Folk" for mine. Funny, I watched the twitter clip on the Herald Sun it sounded like "F***", but when I watched the actual show it sounded like "Folk". Hope they bring it up tonight. I can't imagine it happening, and if GW had sworn I'm sure he would apologise.

    Dwayne ' s**t commentator ' Russell - PART 2 in 3d

    You have to think, "Who is he speaking to? What is his image of the viewer?" Dwayne's image is someone who is constantly in and out of the room, doesn't know much about football, watching the footy between the ad breaks on Everybody Loves Raymond. He delights them with charming tidbits, and...

    Luke Darcy is the worst commentator i've ever heard call a football match

    I don't like the way he goes about it, I wouldn't have thought. Surely with a billion dollar property you would pay anything for the best in the business to present it. Instead we get BT and Darce, the 3MMM sidekicks. Maybe I'm wrong, maybe TV is the pits, and radio is where it's at, because...

    Analysis The Buddy deal, one year on

    Worth every penny. Look at what he managed in just his first year. Coleman medal, three or four matchwinning performances. But apart from that, his enthusiasm and effort elevated this team that I thought were flat as a tack after 2013. In another three or four years, he will be cheap for what he...

    Mega Thread General Pre-Season Discussion, News and Updates

    In the clip on the website Hanners looked trim. A lot better than last year. Look for a Jetta fadeout this year. Unless his effort improves we can't play him, especially with Malcheski gone. Like every year I'm looking forward to watching Kennedy transform into a manimal during the pre-seaon...

    No Oppo Supporters Swans v Hawks - the thread where we let it all out (READ OP FIRST)

    Every time we play Hawthorn we refuse to man up and put pressure on their uncontested possession. We think we can take them on and we can't. If we can't beat Hawthorn we can't be Premiers. Tag Mitchell for a start. When he gets beaten early he loses focus and hurts them. We let him run around in...

    Dwayne ' s**t commentator ' Russell - PART 2 in 3d

    I had to laugh during the Port Swans game. If you've just joined us, biggest lead of the match so far, franchise history, big time goal, they were all there.

    I like Rohan down back. He's had a great few weeks, and I really hope he can keep it going into the finals.

    Autopsy 3 things you learnt v Hawks @ MCG

    1. We miss Brett Kirk when we play Hawthorn. He always took care of Mitchell. Now Mitchell is killing us every time. 2. Good teams will be out to exploit Laidler. 3. Hawthorn falter when things get nasty.

    'BT' and Darcy: The Worst Commentary Team in History?

    It's not about being offended. It's not about us at all. It's about what BT and channel 7 think is acceptable at 6:30 at night. I wasn't watching, but my 8 year old son was. He came into the kitchen and said "hey dad, BT just did this" and stuck two fingers up at me. I didn't notice until I saw...

    Bruce William McAvaney - The always updating Quotes Thread

    this "aye" crap seems to be a recent development. It started with Mike Pyke. And he seems to have thought, well if it works with Pyke, why don't I just do it all the time. Off a step, worries him out of it, caresses it, coming baaaaack. this year it's "long leg". Watching the games this year...

    'BT' and Darcy: The Worst Commentary Team in History?

    They do so many strange things at 7. The desk on the ground before the game. Must be freezing and windy. The endless slow motion high fives. I dont know of any sport that does that. But their greatest sin is BT. He is awful. His latest thing is when someone brings up an "interesting" point, like...

    Unofficial Preview Round 15: Early Thoughts - The Real Sydney AFL Club vs Lesser Western Sydney

    I noticed last week against Port the on-field remonstrating had started again. Lots of shouting at each other and angry exchanges. I remember hearing that the WC players were surprised at how snarky we were at each other in a practice match earlier in the year. When we are playing our best we...

    Review 3 things you learnt v tigers

    1. Craig Bird is the most underrated player in the AFL. I'm not saying he is elite, but gets no recognition when he is having the best season of his career so far. Another great game Friday night. 2. Not sure how he's going in the reserves, but maybe Shaw's injury gives us a chance to bring ROK...

    'BT' and Darcy: The Worst Commentary Team in History?

    I am a Swans supporter, and I couldn't fully savor the win last night because of BT. The height of the bounce, the length of the 2 Bartel torps. Ridiculous screaming etc I compained to Channel 7. I ask everyone to do the same.

    Rumour Mark Thompson to Coach Melbourne?

    It is funny you say that, because I heard something recently. Ex-player is at a dealer/friend's house, Bomber shows up unexpected, sees the ex-player, and bolts. How do you know Bomber? ex-player asks friend. How do you think? says friend. This happened back in 2006 apparently. Ex-player and...

    Unofficial Preview Round 11 Early Thoughts - Sydney vs Geelong

    We have to get Pyke in. Derickx will be found out against the Cats. His role at the moment is to contest the ruck and then step away from the contest. His disposal is real ordinary. Can't really understand the love at the moment. Sub Mitchell for Goodes in the 3rd. Pyke in for Derickx, Mitchell...

    POTY GF: Sydney v Hawthorn

    1. Hanners. Slow start, then took that mark, massive last quarter. 2. ROK. Big defensive game. 3. Alex Johnson. So attacking from the back line. 4. MacViegh. Great game. 5. Malch. 2 goals that will live for ever.
