Definitely not the Cornes brothers, I should've said that... I remember one of my students did a presentation on them. Would've been between 2001 and 2003. Possibly the Murray brothers, but they're not ringing a bell...

Hello all, In the early 2000s, both Burgoynes were on your list. I have memories of there being another set of brothers on your list at the time. Am I mistaken? Did you have another set? It's just a vague memory, but one that's been tearing away at me all evening. Does anyone remember another...

Hello everyone, Does anyone remember pre-game concerts (only 2 or 3 songs) at matches at the MCG between 2009 and 2012? I'm not sure if I'm imagining this, but I swear I remember seeing Florence and the Machine perform before a Richmond game sometime between '09 and '12. It happened at least 2...

I don't mean to sound dramatic, but I haven't been able to sleep because of this tonight. I mean, he became whatever he became, and I am not at all ever going to dispute this or try to re-write the narrative, but to find all this out was like a huge surreal slap in the face. We used to have a...

Sorry to drag up a long-forgotten thread, but earlier today someone posted a school photo from years ago and I saw my friend Hizir in it. Naturally, I did a quick search to see what the guy was up to and found out all about him, all within about 30 seconds. This guy was my friend in primary...

thanks so much for that, guys! much appreciated!

Hello guys, Totally random question. Anyone here remember Plugger getting reported (possibly suspended) in 1996? Anyone remember which round that happened in (or how to go about finding out)? Just want to know as it's a reference point to something that happened at that time in my life. From...

Deliverance thanks for letting me know! Is that standard across the country? I'll be trying to enter the Vic system, so I hope I can get in...I don't mind a year or so 'proving myself', it's just those horrid 11 month contracts I was dreading... raskolnikov Pro rata sounds fine with me, as...

Hey guys, sorry if I'm repeating this question... Long time secondary teacher, first time AU/VIC/MELB teacher here. I graduated 15 years ago and have spent most of the time since then living and working in schools OS. is it still near on impossible to get a contract (when you're a newby)...

Thanks for the answers... I just can't believe people turned into such moronic fools in unison. I felt embarrassed about it. For him to get booed at his home ground must have been especially hard for Goodes. Like he has no respite anywhere... As a country, we still have such a long way to go...

Hey guys, Firstly, I just wanna state that I am an 'outsider'; I support Richmond and am not in any way a Swans fan (I hate all other 17 clubs equally, though!)... Secondly, I'm not looking to goad, troll or stir up anything, I am legit looking for perspective, narrative and perceptions. Now...

his statement last night reminded me of how batsmen, stuck on 99, get a ball down leg side which goes for byes/legbyes, run a single and raise their bat to receive an applause from the crowd before the umpire has signalled for byes/legbyes and hoping the umpire won't be heartless and just allow...

did a team intend to do it, but got warned against it?

i have memories of a club wearing green arm bands a few years ago in protest (or something) against a team (maybe the lions during the 'drip years'). did this happen? am i right? who was it?

aren't there records/logbooks full of details of who got what injected? these records, backed with receipts of the drugs/medicines ordered and/or blood/urine lab results would clear everyone or anyone...? have these records been seen? do they exist? i haven't heard much about them in the media...
