Not a fan of Norf but f I loved watching Blight play.

Met him once. Had nothing nice so say about any of his former teammates. In fact he was very dismissive and rude about every Swan I mentioned. Flog.

There's a thing in Nsw at least that you can't call it soccer anymore. All the papers refer to it as "football". Of course that is a massive wank so I continue to say soccer. When my son was playing in the U10s some years ago I referred to it as soccer and got the typical "it's not soccer it's...

Here you go Jewels - SMH, 12 years ago: FINALLY, it seems, the mystery of how the Brewongle Stand at the Sydney Cricket Ground got its name has been solved. For several generations, cricket-goers have wondered why it was not named, like most of the other stands, after a hero of yesteryear like...

Cricket: O'Reilly Trumper Bradman Noble Rugby League: Dally Messenger (a tiny stand under the scoreboard) Clive Churchill Other: Brewongle Members Ladies Best bet is to change Brewongle or Ladies

Who are you dropping?

Is it in the interests of the VFL media to make this point? Every club has access to father/sons (except GWS and GC but that is a function of time) The academy is on top of father/sons. Collingwood was lucky to have a good crop.

And with Adams recently in, Parker and Mills to come there is no room.

Win the flag, lose the academy. Nothing more certain. Other clubs, supporters and most importantly, the VFL media will say: Gulden Heeney Blakey Mills Campbell Wicks Yes I know Wicks was a rookie but the VFL media won't care. Without the academy we don't win the flag.

I think I had a scrimmage last night.

Agree but would add these observations: 1. Despite the step down in quality, one can expect a measure of rustiness - he did not play finals last year and missed the first three rounds this year. 2. I assume the VFL side is using the same system as the Seniors. Nevertheless practice is not the...

IIRC prior to his draft Gulden played the Sydney grand final with a bag over his head. Then we stuffed up by putting his Guernsey number and name in the Record.

I've heard it said that players never really settle until 50 games of experience. Generally with a new player I expect a little skittishness or indecision. When they get the ball I at any rate have that moment when I think "don't butcher it". Roberts, all of 10 games in, is very assured and I...

Erm... is there anyone in the team eligible for YPOTY other than Roberts? I suppose Corey Warner. Anyone else?

Warner's guernsey is a lot more blood coloured.
