Shawry looks like Ric Flair.

I think I started a thread on here a few years ago suggesting that Balme is a complete dickwad and really hasn't achieved anything in football other than being a thug, riding on other people's success and for some reason being worshipped by the Melbourne sports media. I was met with a torrent...

Owies loses the game again for Carlton. Clearly the worst player currently on an AFL list. Just magnificently bad.

I'm not a jumper collector, but love to see people's collections on the internet. My first jumper was a woollen one with metal press studs on the collar, with the Peter McKenna plastic number 6 sewn on the back. Only one I still have is a 2010 retail given to me by my parents. Will never get...

Collins was a handy player, but never top level. Was small without being super quick, and had a slightly awkward kicking style.

I wasn't going to say anything, but since you mentioned it, Worsfold was certainly one of the most gutless players I've seen play the game. An inept footballer who made a career out of jumping knees first into players going for the ball. Not sure who these people are talking about, maybe his...

Strangest thing to me is what a nice fellow Matthews seems to be off the field. A little eccentric ( don't know if some of the weird stories you hear about him are true ), but the couple of times I've encountered him over the years he seems so friendly and easy going.

Yes, I remember getting home from the Collingwood game and it was huge, especially as ch7 covered the game and showed the last quarter on Sevens big league. McKenna was just doing his job on World of Sport, Jeans' reaction was ridiculous.

Yes, but I've also had the misfortune to listen to what passes as football discussion and attempted comedy on triple M. ( in-between the 25 minutes of ads per hour )

Bigfooty is intelligent and sophisticated compared to triple M footy.

Well done. I don't remember seeing this, but there were various comments on different threads for weeks indicating rumours must have been rife around Melbourne about what was about to go down.

Indeed. I remember comments about it on here, long before the regular media latched on.

That was exactly my point. Wanganeen and Buckley WERE champion players. Evans Hodges and Abber were just good solid players ( must admit I can't remember watching Evans at Geelong), who dominated at sanfl level.

I've been going to games at the Gabba for over 30 years and that was the loudest and angriest crowd I've ever seen on Thursday night. Never seen Brisbane supporters so bitter and pissed off. Heaps of Collingwood supporters wearing premiership guernseys. As Willard Scott would say, How sweet it is!

Fair response.

This is actually an excellent comment. Older Port supporters have a different view of the game due to growing up in the strange fish bowl of SANFL. They dominated the local comp with the belief that players like Tim Evans, Scott Hodges and Bruce Abernethy were superstars. They were in fact...

Yes, their supporters were extra obnoxious after the game last night. I walked in feeling completely down and expecting a thrashing, but the feeling afterwards was almost preliminary final like.

Somebody needs to tell Selwood and Cotchin they're no longer playing so they are allowed to have opinions and say something now. Absolutely dismal responses to every question no matter how simple Bradshaw makes it for them.

What an odd thing to say.

I see in round 8 we somehow got annihilated by Richmond. Have no memory of this game, but was definitely there as I went to the first 10 rounds before interstate trip. Is that the game referred to as Mothers day massacre or was that a year or 2 later?

Such a strange season. 2 annihilations of opposition by over 100 points mixed in with poor performances resulting in losses. And the rise of Ratcat on the charts continued unabated.

From a distance by Bette Midler made the top 10 in 1991. Beautiful song. And Daics kicked 13 against the BB bears at Cararra.

Indeed. However we will hopefully not see another one as they no longer have the best country zone handed to them on a platter they are no longer able to cheat every player payment system that's ever existed they used up about 500 years worth of dumb luck during the 70s and 80s

That happened in November. ( dream come true for me ). Last 2 times I've been in the Lexus Centre the cup has not been there, had a sign saying it was being used at some function. Probably back in its spot now.

Of all the ridiculous comments here this is the best. The lack of knowledge of everything that's happened over the past 10 years in the AFL is staggering. Edit- Are you the young man of limited intelligence I stood next to at the 2022 Qualifying Final, half forward flank, Shane Warne Stand?

Apart from clearly being a brilliant tactical coach, McCraes respect for our supporters was obvious from day 1. Nick, Darcy and the coach all point out how unbelievable our support of the team is, something that Collingwood hating morons, whose clubs wouldn't exist without the money we make for...

Yes. Still a draft pick though.

Travis Cloke

Yeah that's true, but this is which coach do you dislike the most. Hinkley is an unsuccessful coach but Lyon is unsuccessful and extremely unpleasant as well.

It is strange. The guy doesn't have a single redeeming feature, Terrible at everything as Monty Burns would say, yet he's still there.
