This diagram did raise a chuckle. Polec ticks the three main boxes but was pre-Rawlings. He’d be the spiritual father of your diagram. F##k, but I’d love to have some positives to discuss about North. It’s probably going to be the debut of Hardiman and then of Sausage George that I’ll focus on.

Just had a look at our recent trade history. Bit of a grim read. Rory F##king Lobb would fit in perfectly with the standard of trades we've made since 2018. He'd probably be unavailable for selection for 3 weeks during an injury crisis due to a home hair bleaching related accident. That, or...

I’m holding to my long held view that he should be fired out of a cannon. That would make for some good halftime entertainment.

It seemed like Xerri was starting to mix up his taps a bit in the 2nd half rather than just tapping it close to his feet. But he was still grabbing the ball out of the ruck a bit too much (to generally mixed effect). As the midfield group spends more time together I'd love to see him knock the...

Yep, I was thinking along these lines during my lunch break reading up on the MSD prospects.

I held off posting straight after the game. With no hint of exaggeration, getting Covid two days into my recent holiday overseas was more enjoyable than that 2nd quarter.

The pedestrian bridge from Southern Cross to Marvel Stadium would make for a pretty good choke point. Not sure our current team could organise a shield wall, let alone a phalanx.

Could come in handy if we get attacked by the Persians.

Long bombs to Mongo!

Playing consecutive weeks on pretty narrow grounds hasn’t exactly highlighted his strengths. Yeah, that’s a polite way of saying the physical side of his game could improve. I’m not fussed if he’s a bit soft if he can get and use the ball well enough and often enough to balance the ledger.

I know I’m probably reaching for a positive here, but I do appreciate the extra info we get in the injury updates these days.

I’m guessing that I’m not the only one to be frustrated on the day about the number of missed and broken tackles. On a few occasions a Cats player broke consecutive tackles before dishing off the ball. The new HTB interpretation does give some players absolutely ages to dispose of the ball...

Late '97? Looked it up. Just the 2 touches. Remember him looking a bit lost. Won the Rising Star the next year.

Whiskas are due to sponsor an individual player. Any suggestions?

This bloke recovered pretty well from a poor debut. Time will tell and all that..

Greetings comrades.

Keeping count of your beers is a form of calorie counting I guess 😁

My 1st guaranteed prediction is that Chom's jumper will end the match with Tom Hawkins handprints etched into the back. The 2nd guaranteed prediction is the collective frustration of North supporters as Chom gets shoved in the back.

Some people, especially in their use of social media, have no conception of what it means to maintain some separation between their ‘public’ and ‘private’ self. They also tend to lack an internal handbrake (‘should I really say this’) as well as the ability or willingness to put themselves...

Can't help but admire Athletic for the way they remain competitive in a top league in the age of venture/vulture capitalist firms and government backed/linked sports-washing oil money. https://edition.cnn.com/2024/04/09/sport/la-gabarra-athletic-bilbao-trophy-parade-spt-intl/index.html

I'm guessing that's from CBCo and not CUB... I like a good IRA beer, went through a home brewing phase of trying to perfect my recipe for it. Have never really got into the sour beers though. I've also never tried wine with a dead snake in it so maybe I'm just not bold enough.

marklovesbeer From memory the Bombres* went with CUB. More money, worse beer... perfect for those at * The Colonial/CBC co beer was a good bonus at AFLW home games and will be missed considering the usual alternative of mid-strength mega-swill on offer at most footy grounds. *I may not...

RossHenshaw Not sure that I can be put firmly into the excitement & impatience camp after writing "Maley could be an option but it's probably too soon to offer him as another sacrifice to the Footy Gods. The bloodstains from Toby Pink are still visible on the altar." Sellers is probably the...

Solid work. Point 3 might be my favourite … “They’ve been injured, they are injured or they are just waiting do the next injury. One will lose an eye to a teaspoon in his latte, another will mistakes a wasps nest for a hat, a third will likely just snap in half for no understandable reason...

Anyone know a mad scientist that can successfully clone a footballer? That, or the ability to replicate and install his footy skills and composure into an existing player on the list.

Don’t want to curse myself here but recently it hasn’t been too bad. Check out the reviews for the Kayo app and this thread will suddenly seem quite supportive.

Only Kayo has more negative recent reviews. I was going to write something vaguely supportive but I just can’t be arsed.
