Now I understand why North supporters spend so much time death-riding JHF ... when they do look at their own club

Has anyone check in on our friends over on the North board lately?
Hopefully, ARE OK!

The fact that Chris Davies hand feeds Caroline Wilson confidential information is more of an issue than the SCG turf.

I don't see the issue with making this instance public as it makes the AFL look pretty much as we all know it to be, a rabble behind the scenes.

Legendary South Australian football identity Ian Day has died, aged 90.
A member of South Adelaide’s last SANFL premiership team in 1964, Day is a SANFL Hall of Fame member who was a fine rover for the Panthers and West Adelaide from 1952-64.

That's so very sad.

I knew Ian well as we worked for the same boss but different businesses.

He was a genuinely nice bloke.

RIP Ian.

One of the voices of my youth. He and Peter Marker doing the ressies... brings me right back

Ian could get quite animated during their calls and one of his classics was "and he's ejaculated over the fence..."

Houston and Maynard wreaking havoc at Collingwood training. When arseholes collide!

Accused of an $8.7m fraud... and, uh, robbing The Mighty Adelaide Crows of a victory nine years ago.

Triple arseh*le collisions are a rare event.

Undoubtedly cheated in at least the one game, but league will sweep this under the carpet.

The AFL has told clubs players who are repeatedly charged for careless umpire contact will be sent directly to the tribunal for possible suspensions.

What does repeatedly mean? Is that like Tom Lynch being repeatedly fined for striking yet never being banned?

Houston's first season at Collingwood getting better by the day.

As of the start of round 17 on Thursday evening, players who are cited for careless umpire contact four or more times in a two-year period will likely be referred directly to the Tribunal.

Gold Coast's Matt Rowell (four), St Kilda's Jack Macrae (four) and Carlton's Adam Cerra (three) are among the current players who have been cited three or more times for careless umpire contact in the past two years.

I saw an in game free kick for careless umpire contact for the first time a few weeks ago. Ridiculous.

I actually prefer the approach of sorting it out with post match sanctions.

Just fixed that for you.

This just reinforces my belief this league is a joke. This is not in the top 100 for things that need to be looked at, and bringing in changes mid-season always reeks of amateurism.

I wonder if they're also keeping tabs on whether this keeps happening to any particular umpires more than others. Careful what yo ask for, dudes...

Jane Lomax-Smith gives the crows a little clip in her op-ed piece in In Daily

Get real, Bruce: City of Adelaide fable is 'pure hubris' - News | InDaily, Inside South Australia

The Lord Mayor of Adelaide Dr Jane Lomax-Smith responds to last week's op-ed from Bruce Djite with her own column.

Whilst she's right about the Crows trying to free load, the rest is largely bullshit. Adelaide council has been anti-development since I was a boy. FFS the North Adelaide Le Cornu site is only going to finish this year, after 36 years since it stopped being a furniture store. Development proposal after development proposal was turned down. And the parklands look like you've gone out bush in the parts that aren't half dead grass ovals of some sort.

Whilst I'm not a big fan of Melbourne (the City), Fitzroy Gardens there shits all over any part of the parklands. If all the non-sporting parts of the parklands were like that, then it'd be something to actually be a drawcard, rather than some blessed scrub in the city.

Not all the proposal were turned down at all - in fact almost all of the submitted proposals got approved but were rejected on subsequent amendments to the original proposals or the developer (Makris Group) seeking extensions or simply not proceeding with their own project proposals.


It took the project site being determined as a major development project with the support of the State Government and ACC for development on the site to finally become a reality.

North Adelaide's vacant Le Cornu site a long-time eyesore

A series of development plans have been announced and abandoned over the years since the O'Connell Street furniture showroom closed nearly nearly three decades ago.

Lynch has Thilthorpe covered 2-0 in the most important statistic ...

Lynch also has Tony Lockett and Gary Ablett Senior covered in that statistic as well...

The Le Cornu site is actually not the poster child for the ACC's undoubted intransigence. Plans were approved, even before SAG had 'major development' intervention power. A few times, blatant disregard of pre-approved limits or of what had been approved halted things. At one point a cynical overblown plan aimed at getting a SAG override - rightly rejected. Other times broader economic currents derailed the developers/finance de jour. In the end council itself took charge.

Yes the Crows are entitled freeloaders. Bring back the Cows by the North Adelaide train station, they only left in 1972!!
