Boring last quarter

David Johnson

Congrats to the third best Sunbury Lions junior player currently on our list (and arguably fourth best overall), bloody marvellous.

Was Danger's tailoring skills a big winner from today? - His rugby top was talked about both by ABC radio before the match and by Channel 7 during the rain break - and allegedly he made the top himself (or make accurately adapted an existing top)

It is a fairly quaint tradition in Australian sport to go out to combat, give your all, battle hard and finish up by gathering in a circle and singing a jolly little song. Easy to mock - but it goes in hand with the extraordinary level of loyalty players have to clubs compared to athletes in...

LoL - we're talking illicit drugs, not performance enhancing. If you are not playing, then you cant exactly be accused of cheating. I mean if I were to go out at night, have a few bevvies, decide I'll drive home but first check my alcohol levels on one of those machines, so decide to taxi home...

Guilty of what exactly? - if you don't play then you cant be guilty of a match day crime. FWIW, any coach would be absolutely ropeable with any player who makes themselves unavailable in this way - one step closer to the exit door. The real story here is that drug culture at Melbourne seems so...

The next step is to remove speedometers from players cars so players cant "test" whether they are ILLEGALLY speeding and thus avoid the punishment by slowing down.

Big news - doctors conduct tests!

If Jezza, Hawk and Ollie play, then Rohan wont - but there will be more times than not this season when not all those three take the field

Fred was one of the best, enjoyed his posts, head and heart were in the right place. All the best Fred's are now gone

The Costa trophy cabinet? We wouldn't have had to buy a new one if it wasn't for him. I think any honour though should reflect his commitment to the wider community as much as to the club itself.

No doubt - but to give it a run in a lesser test will highlight any issues that can be fixed before round 1

Even the swans think the SCG is a dump. Tom Harley has been quite vocal about the need to renovate the place, but the money has not been forthcoming.

You're either a brownlow champ or you're a chump

Outrageous! They've gone too woke. I just cant watch footy anymore

Kick after the siren resulting from a free kick that clearly wasn't there!

Cant quite tell if you are being serious or not - Stamford bridge is well past its use-by date and there is talk of replacing it, or moving elsewhere, and Old Trafford is now considered a joke, leaky roof and all - equivalent of Moorabin back in the day. Would be an embarrassment to be on par...

Merry Christmas, hopefully santa delivers something very special for 2024

Sad to see him go. Got to meet him once - when the doggies won in, myself and Chief watched the match from the Station hotel in Footscray, then later that evening went by the Franco Cozzo store, where there was a line of people waiting to enter. We joined the line and duly ended up being ushered...

Dad Ray had a 75% win rate - impressive when you consider he only played two matches. Seemingly holds the record for least number of disposals (2) for players having played 2 or more games.

Yep - Bill

Second last survivor of 51/52 premiership. Power forward kicking 278 goals over 78 matches for the cats and was pivotal in our premiership sides. Holds the VFL/AFL record for the most number of goals kicked in a final (11). But also controversial. Was dropped in the 53 finals series for marriage...

We might enjoy seeing it, but the clubs (including ours) don't really care. They will never select a father-son if it means a downgrade in some way.

Why is it weird? The comment came from Greg Swann - Brisbane CEO, who was trying to gaslight to say that teams like Geelong have a big advantage, so he just pulled this figure out and now people are saying it must be true. He also said, give it few years and if year on year, and if the Northern...

Perhaps should have won one, if not two, in the first six years of the comp (finished top 2 four times!). Then we became a pretty ordinary team till WW1, after which we became more middle of the table then finally a strong team in the mid twenties. No equalisation measures in those days. Had a...

Obviously you think of malthouse as a coach, he had three very significant spells at three clubs plus Carlton. Each of those clubs could lay claim to this question. However I visualised him being in club colours, and only one team stood out, so Richmond it is.
