    Expansion Tasmania Officially Granted 19th Licence

    What sort of engineer are you? When you build something you should always start with the roof. That way the tradies can still work when it's raining, and they’d have shade from the hot summer sun.

    Coach Do you still have any faith in Bevo? [POLL]

    Not sure that the club feel indebted to the man. That would require a degree of reflection, and weighing up pros and cons. I think it's more the case that Bevo has a mystical influence over the powers that be, in much the same way that the Romanovs were enthralled by Rasputin. Either that or...

    Brownlow Should the AFL overturn the Cripps Brownlow decision?

    My question was tongue in cheek. I thought it was ironic that a team called the 'Capitals' had a word-based logo all in lower case. I don't imagine there was ever a reason for this, it was just a design. But that's an interesting link you provided. I quite like the Screaming Eagle!

    Brownlow Should the AFL overturn the Cripps Brownlow decision?

    You sound like you might know the answer: Why is the Washington Capitals (NHL) logo... in lower case?

    The Game with the Loudest Crowd you went to.

    Yeah, I think you're losing your hearing. The Bulldogs all heard it- just that it was the half-time siren, and they must have thought it was the end of the match. I don't hear the siren either. From the second quarter onwards the incessant noise was like an instrument of torture. Definitely...

    "Not allowed to wear long sleeves" at Hawthorn - Why?

    With teams hiring all sorts of specialists and going to the nth degree to extract 0.5% extra performance out of players I would have thought that allowing a player to wear long sleeves would assist in maximising performance. If a player is not thinking about being cold they can concentrate more...

    Toast Retirement: Josh J Kennedy

    Well, it's funny you should say that, because two of the top three East Fremantle players in the AFL (i.e., AFL only, not VFL) came from Northampton- JK and Harry Taylor. (For the record, the third EF great was Simon Black). JK is my wife's screensaver. Every time the phone rings up he pops...

    Roast Soccer host angry at AFL twitter

    You catch more flies with honey than vinegar. Lucy would have garnered more support for soccer if she tweeted something about Rashford enjoying a local custom, or something similar. People would then appreciate the goodwill, and all the snark would have been avoided.

    Changes vs Hawthorn

    Just as well we're only talking about dogs, and not women. Because a chaste woman will not be chased. Whereas a chased woman will not be chaste.

    World Cup 2022 FIFA World Cup (Qualifiers)

    Oh, OK, fair point. There are certainly tougher groups than ours. And sadly I also agree that commentary on soccer in Australia lacks appreciation of our true capability. People seem to think we can be as competitive in soccer as, say, the Wallabies or the Boomers in their respective sports...

    World Cup 2022 FIFA World Cup (Qualifiers)

    Some groups contain more strong teams than others. That's the inevitable result of a) seeding, and b) ensuring even representation across all groups from the different confederations. With the 1st seeds, the difference in quality between them all is minimal. With 2nd seeds the quality diverges a...

    Who's the best Indigenous player ever?

    Wrong. He wasn't the best player in the team. He was the best player in the State.

    Piss off AFL and your pathetic 'umpire descent' rule

    You can understand why the rule exists- the game needs to attract and retain umpires, and if you see what umpires have to endure in minor leagues it's any wonder that a person would even consider umpiring. The ones that press ahead with this ambition seem to have authoritarian personalities...

    Why do so many - even the young - now prefer old music over new?

    Harsh... but true. I think this has been brought about by a couple of generations having been saturated in post-modernist sludge. When a chip packet has as much meaning as Shakespeare, who cares about objective quality? Just use electronics to make some kind of noise salad, toss in...

    Toast Types of people at the footy

    The soccer fans wearing the latest lime and beige monstrosity of some obscure Serie A team. No jacket even if it's really cold, cause they're inked and buff. Mesmerising haircuts with lots of zig zags. White shoes, gold bling, ever so slightly too much cologne, like about a litre of the stuff...

    What's your favourite food?

    Yeah, was gonna say. Notwithstanding that they seem to be a good sponsor, I would have thought Mexican food would be more popular. Maybe it's just nacho cup of tea. Anyway you shouldn't eat it while you're driving, that's just chili con carnage.

    What's your favourite food?

    I love it, especially with smoked fish. Yeah, I know... salmon had to mention it. Unfortunately for me, dill proves that you are what you eat.

    Your "I Don't Get It" Band

    I was listening to a Floyd album the other day and thinking to myself, with the clarity of sudden realisation, that it was turgid sludge. So I thought I'd start a thread on 'bands you've fallen out of love with'. Only to see that my thunder has been partly stolen. I once 'got' PF, but now I...

    Currently showing at the cinema, I'm sure it will eventually find a wider circulation: 'Summer of Soul'. While hippy wastrels were rolling around in the mud at Woodstock a real music festival occurred in Harlem. Doco features heaps of great artists- BB King, Nina Simone, Sly & The Family Stone...

    Unofficial Preview Grand Final vs the Dishlickers - Opposition Supporters Welcome (Banter thread)

    Yes you do. We can't read, or spel, or ski. We vote for the wrong party. We cut the cheese the wrong way. We can't distinguish a pinot meunier from a gewurtztraminer. Adam Treloar reckons we should harden up. We traded our first draft pick for the next 15 years to Melbourne in exchange for Mitch...

    Its tine to make Gary Hincks a life member

    Ran into Gary in Perth a couple of years back. He was waiting outside Wesley church for a classical concert. I said hello, long-time Bulldogs member etc, but as much as I tried to chat about all things Dog he was more interested in the quartet, one of whom (pretty sure it was the clarinet...

    New bloke at work- smug, grain-fed lawyer, with the standard-issue paunch and wearing the latest 'I'm not trying very hard' hipster menswear. He finds out that I'm a Bulldogs supporter and says, "So, did you jump on the bandwagon after the 2016 premiership?" Well, yes. Obviously. That's what...

    Thank you for your service, Jongy. What a soldier. Nothing but admiration for your whole-hearted commitment. Best wishes for the next part of your life, Lin.
