Because the stars are so far away that your not actually seeing the star what your seeing is just a point source of light!
He wore number 50 through his juniors and asked specifically to wear it. Club obliged.

Because umpires hate Port and try to sabotage them in each and every game they play. Everyone knows that.
Clock stops after the umpires signal? I think.
Baldness is genetic. Why do so many Port fans lose their teeth in their early 20's?

Was wondering this the other day
Did the bloke selected in the GWS mini draft (Omeara, Crouch, Martin and Hogan) drop out of school at the end of year 11 or did they continue school in a new state while also training with the AFL club and playing in the reserves matches?

This is (was?) to give the league more flexibility with deducting points from teams as punishment for whatever crime they may have committed, without having to go into the decimals. So for example the league could deduct 1 point, or 3 points for disciplinary reasons and the team's total points would still be a whole number.

Because they're professional footballers and not musicians nor fire stick twirlers ?
You don't see many coppers, firefighters, soldiers, boxers, mma fighters or cricketers with long hair.
However, I also think it's idiotic the way some clowns on this forum give s**t to footballers who tie their hair back and laugh at their "bad hairstyle", as though they walk around with their hair like that all the time. It's purely for practical purposes while they're playing footy. But it would be even more practical if they just kept it short.

Why is pushing someone in the back a free kick?
I find it irritating especially when a player getting tackled dives forward and causes the tackler to land on their back

The time will keep going until the goal umpire has signalled that it was a goal.

I North are having theirs re-recorded by You Am I in a more modern version, including the "Hearts to hearts" part. The new one will be used only in home games, but hopefully it'll be sh1t and they'll return to the Fable Singers version.

My question: when naming the teams on paper, why were they previously forwards down to backs, but have reversed?
Unless this is an eastern States way. For sure WA were forwards down, not sure about the eastern staters in Vic, SA & the rest

It'll only be played before the game, not after in a win.

Why was COLA only introduced for Sydney teams, implying every other city with teams has exactly the same cost of living?
Also Melbourne I think, I believe he was a Perth Demons man so followed Melbourne as his VFL side back in the day. I recon I've detected the pain in his commentary when he has called them over the last few years too.
SA still do forwards down I think
Why does the SANFL calculate percentage differently?
Which players took PEDs 'back in the day' when testing was poor or non-existent?
Has the shape and hence kickability/aerodynamics of the footy changed since the 80s? Certainly looks like it sometimes.
Why do we still have runners?

I'm glad it is an eastern states thing as well
I miss it
I now live in Melbourne so I doubt I'll see it again
