Four team comp. You know that South would be able to get themselves up to par, and the best facilities in the country part of Northern Tassie are at Longford, plus you know they'd want to get back on top if it was viable for them...the first sixty years of both the NTFA and TFL looked like...

Were you there? I've just got back home to FNQ after spending the week in Tassie, and was based for the last few days right next to KGV until this morning. Was thinking of going to the TCA just to get a footy fix last night, being the only live game on...!

Two completely different scenarios. WSC was born by frustration with archaic boards demanding sacrifices and professionalism from players and not giving anything back. The ramifications of those years totally transformed cricket, unrecognisable from what it was only a decade earlier, and while...

Cricket things that annoy me...f###, where do I start... 1) The Mankad is a legit dismissal. Every argument against it is bullshit. 2) T20. 3) CA. 4) Bilateral ODI series. 5) 2 test series. 6) Super overs. 7) People using the term "spirit of cricket" to justify their own self serving biases...

A little disappointed in the jumper, but the above are probably right, they'll tweak it... The red needs darkening, kinda like the paint job on the cheap Gibson ripoff Aria doubleneck I bought decades ago...supposed to be the deep burgundy Jimmy Page had on his, but it had more in common with a...

It's gas, isn't it?

I've got a gut feeling about the Saints this year...

That's the only match that doesn't follow a strong top team home advantage rule. Bearing in mind this thread is about concessions influencing the naming of a premier, show me where that's influenced the result of this single game...? Like I said, nothing is stopping interstaters from winning an...

I would have been all over this a year ago. Then we had the referendum, and I gave up on Australia, knowing amongst many other things that threads like this would appear again...with the same embarrassing responses...

King Island would be uncompetitive. These days, they play around a dozen a side, with open registrations in case a visitor who says he played footy once visits that weekend...! If you were ranking the leagues, the numbers seem to show that the tiers below the four big comps stratify like this...

It has to be a V. Saw an Examiner selection of nine jumpers recently, all crap! This one comes close - I'd have the rose replaced with more green, and a double V straighter than yours but in the same position with both red or rose and a strong yellow, tapered and pointy at the cuffs but fuller...

Some newbies will say 2012, but the Swans were the better team...Sydney would have been utterly justified in writing here about 2012 if Malceski missed and the Hawks got to the other end in time... But in 1984, the Hawks pretty much had the Bombers on toast for the first half, and held them to...

Before the 2015 GF, I went on a winning GF DVD splurge, watched the lot in the couple of weeks before, and only last week I've started a splurge on Kayo watching the GF's we'd lost, matches I haven't seen since those dark days...! Both times, I've been blown away by how good that guy was, which...

Ploughing through the NTFL after I was given the rosters of a bunch of NTFL Records. Some various missing scores here, was wondering if anyone could help me fill them in: Saturday, May 6 - R06-89- Sat ULV () WYN () WYN* by R06 means round 6, 89 was the year. Ulverstone won this game via...

They gave them space but they didn't use it. Those players had already been recruited, and the squad took pay cuts knowing they were on a good thing...

Man for man the Hawks and Tigers weren't as good as the other two, but Clarkson-spawned teams and coaches tend to play game plans extremely well. It took until 2011 for me to admit the Cats might have outshone the Lions...twice they beat serious juggernauts in finals, whereas the Lions, after...

Never said they were weak, I just said they weren't as good as the dynasties, including their own side, from a decade earlier. And if the OP, some millennial Collingwood supporter, gets to make a blanket statement saying the quality of footy is better than ever before because his team won it...

They had a burst of good form in 2022, and benefitted from all of the other contenders being less consistent or lucky with injuries than in the years either side of the flag. There hasn't been a side as good as the Tigers at their best since they took out 2019, the only team worthy of such a...

Unsuccessful Geelong sides? I'm directly comparing the 2022 side with the team from ten years earlier who won three premierships. Didn't say a word about the 1990's...

Maybe he wrote a book. F###, if I did that, I would...

You seriously think that team was as good as the one from a decade earlier...?!? Someone is going to be ranked number 1 every season, pretty weak argument...just ask the guy who topped Adelaide grade cricket's batting averages the season after Bradman retired...

Numbers suggest South in 2013 can't be discounted...! That squad utterly monstered lesser teams and regularly took out their main rivals - it also went through an unsettling period knowing their team was doomed before making the GF, and afterwards most of them signed up for a completely new...

Huon FA 1977 - can anyone list the scores of the three Kingston v Huonville games? Specifically, it appears that Huonville needed to win at least one to make the finals, which they did, but my source says Kingston won all three. Not discounting the possibility that match points were taken from...

I look at that Cats team that won the GF in 2022, and then compare it to the one which won three a decade ago, as well as the Hawks and Swans of that era, and not in any circumstances would I rate it as even close! After years of missing out, bombing out of finals due to inadequacy, they took...

Of course I'll say Clarkson. But after reading an article about Norm Smith that appeared in the GF Replay Record of 2010 (they had five days to put out another nearly 200 page record, amazing job!), you'd be hard pressed to argue against that guy...

Not buying the above story. Sounds like a wank from a suit at a club that thinks it's bigger than it is. If the Suns were that bad, the AFL wouldn't be outsourcing to a lower league admin - they would do what they did with the Swans and completely reel in the team. It's a bit different to the...

The majority of fans drive and walk in combination to any sporting event. There's transport to Carrara if you park at a place with a shuttle service, no different to taking the bus from Roma St to the Gabba. There was no light rail until 2014. Fankhauser has more onsite parking, but it's also...

Exactly. But the AFL didn't want to share any of it. Therefore the Sharks were never going to be more than an outsourced training facility...

Southport isn't that easy to get to. It's stuck up the top a million miles from the GC south, with terrible traffic movement going south and coming in from the NW. Carrara is more central, between the Pacific Motorway and the strip, right next to the motorway you'd use if you were trying to...

Lived there. Southport has an amazing club with 50k members and awesome discounts on roasts. This does not translate into AFL power. If the Sharks got into the AFL, they would have done it under the conditions North Melbourne would have been subjected to if they accepted the relocation offer...
