BREAKING

History will be made on Sunday afternoon with Eleni Glouftsis becoming the first female field umpire to umpire an official AFL/VFL match.

She will take charge of Essendon v West Coast at Etihad Stadium.

 

[Gibbke]

Collingwood, Sydney and Port all away. If we took out all three, we'd be 6-5, a win loss record we won two flags from in 1983 and 1991...

That Port game looks the ugliest, but the week after that is GC, so if we lost to Port and beat GC at the MCG, we'd be 6-6 going into the break...

Not tipping, just musing...

I have seen her umpire quite a few VFL games, she is very good, not at all surprised she has made it to AFL level.

We continue winning 3 from 4 and its 13 wins

Sam McClure is very quickly rising in the ranks as one of the big knobs in the media. I don't know if it's the Seven curse but he's a fool.
And what is the deal with that haircut of his?

Could've been a perfect reboot of 1991 but we'd probably have needed to keep Mitchell and Lewis. Hopefully the choice to move them on prevents a reboot of having to wait 17 years before the next flag!

His mum sticks a bowl on his bonce, but his bonce tries to reject it and his hair ends up looking even crappier than it would have otherwise?

Terrible news for Jesse Hogan
All the best for his recovery

Terrible news for Jesse Hogan
All the best for his recovery

What news?

 

[Guerrahappyteam]

What news?

He's been diagnosed with testicular cancer at 22 years of age and just weeks after his father died from cancer.

Awful, awful news - hope the kid can beat it.

That's unfortunate. The good news is that testicular cancer is virtually 100% survivable, even if it has metasticised elsewhere chemo is very effective and complete recovery is almost universal

Good luck to him.

 

[J Shuttlesworth]

All the best to Jesse.

Congrats to Eleni. Good to see really. Hope the crowd is receptive.

....and If your most memorable achievement is Snapchatting yourself doing lines. You should shut the **** up. On and Off the field.

 

[MasterSamurai]

I know a very close member of Carlisle family and I can tell you that he is an absolute Glah of the highest order. quite possibly the shittest bloke in an AFL list and I'm not exaggerating.

Im thinkin if theres anything other than boos, is the crowd discriminating?

Just kidding , all the best

Regardless of personality, cancer is not something you'd wish on anyone

you're conflating two stories here I think

 

[IdiotBox]

All the best to Jesse.

I think you've pretty well covered all the big stories.

[Cleavy]

so if I have this correct, Wayne Carey is now Squeak from the movie "Baseketball"?

 

[grumbleguts]

Also, the guys that launched and then sold Champion Data don't either, picking the Hawks to win just five more and finish 17th.

And the guy that does the NCAA BCS ratings doesn't either, picking the Hawks to win just 4 1/2 more.

http://www.masseyratings.com/aus/ratings


So, it's looking grim all around. So much sweeter the win streak that sees us just make the top 8?

My system isn't rating us too well either. Rating both the swans and north well ahead of us.

One of my real feel good moments reading this. One of my PhD students had a project that I co-supervised which improved drugs for testicular cancer. When she was giving talks at conferences there was a certain slide she'd show where I (sitting in the front row) would turn around and watch the audience knowing they would all be crossing their legs at the image.

I hope he gets through this, because although his form of cancer has a very high success rate in terms of treatment, he seems to be in a family that is prone to it.

 

[Mercy Seat]

Sorry for being late to the party. What was exactly said to Murphy on the weekend (allegedly)? Was it about Carey hooking with his wife?

And worse still, he is part of an annoying trend in comentary to refer to players named Jake as "Jakey". Jakey f$&ken Carlisle, Jakey f&$cken Lever.

It is as annoying as the trend about 20 or so years ago to pronounce Garry as "Gally" - Sandy Roberts was the worst - "And the mark is taken by Gally Lyon".
