I will always love Clarry. I worry about him. Colonel Sanders will relaunch the KFC Golden Gaytime Crushers upon his retirement. Even so, when he kicked the third goal of the Trinity at the close of the 2021 GF Q3 and raised a hand to the heavens like Augustus of the Prima Porta, who can...
Comrades I have hated Bevo since those days when he ran around in the Red and the Blue in the early 90s.
Dees by 25 points. Share your elation and anguish after the game!
In my opinion, the greatest game I have seen in person – where grandeur is not to be equated with final glory – is the 1987 Preliminary Final against the Hawks.
Paul Dear and the Wind Gods did everything in their power to gift us the game. It was not to be. For as long as I live, three names...
Friends and comrades, is anyone going to attend today's blockbuster. share your thoughts after the game

Worst Loss 2018 Preliminary Final
Notable Judases: Steve Armstrong, AndyLovell (we still love him) Cale Morton, Jayden Hunt
My friends in Red and Blue.
I never made it to the Lakeside Oval which is a lifelong regret. The Swans’ first game in Sydney was against the Dees – and Adrian Battiston - in 1982. It was a novelty at the time to see the Dees live on the TV. We were visiting my grandmother’ place at the time...
When I was a boy, my mother attempted to convert me from Melbourne to Richmond on the basis that the latter was more Catholic than the former . . . fair dinkum.
To the best of my recollection, Melbourne has not played in a final against Richmond in the course of my lifetime which is no bad...
Is it wrong to despise Essendon? To mock the longevity of their various curses since GF 2001? To acclaim the merits of Adrian Dodoro as a super-sleuth recruiter? To demand that James Hirt cross-sells skin-care as he sweeps mountains of dirt and dust under the carpet in a quixotic attempt to...
Loving Surfers’ Paradise as I do, I was tempted to adopt GC11 as my second team. That lasted about five minutes. Our record against the Suns is a proud one. What a winning streak we had! Now it is all over and we suffer the indignity of Trac – forever a demon in the sphere of the eternal –...
Friend, the first match I ever saw was Melbourne v Carlton at VFL Park in 1972. It was a butt-whooping.
Since then there have been an equal number of wins over lows – for instance:
Melb v Carlton Prelim 1988 – a gloomy day even by the lowly standards of Waverley.
Melbourne v Carlton –...
With the noonday Devil perched on my shoulder, allow me to say this: Fremantle is the WA variant of the St Kilda Aints. They will never win a premiership. Dross Lyon set them back a decade. Most of the unwatch-able games of our times usually feature Freo, the Aints and Norf. The Wizard wasted...
My friends. I have been slack the last couple of years so that I qualify as a new recruit.
For what I am worth - not much in the scheme of things - I will crank up my contribution.
I will always love Clarry for that one goal that so mirrors the statue of Augustus of Prima Porta. I will always...
Brothers and sisters, thi sis a long day's journey into night. If we walk away witha defeat that is less than 80 points, it will be a miracle. Western Faildogs by 85 points. Judgement cometh and that right soon
My friends, I rank last week's defeat against the Aints with '79 VFL Park, 87 Prelim, 2011 Handbag Park and 2018 Prelim in Perth,
After such knowledge, what forgiveness?
Eagles by 40 points.
