Next time it happens Hawthorn should send Lethal or Dermie out to see how the umpire likes being hit from behind

Welcome to the IPL, Jake Fraser-McGurk.

Why are the Saints v Richmond and Collingwood v Hawthorn matches at the same time - I thought the idea of "Gather Round" was giving fans an opportunity to watch all 18 clubs in the same city on the one weekend. AFL couldn't organize a chook raffle.

Liked - the mute button when watching the replay of the Doggies and Eagles Learnt - Dogs have a good one in Harvey Gallagher Hated - Long term injuries - the worst thing about sport

I heard Selwood on TV a few weeks ago freely admit he was a serial ducker to draw free kicks, and as the umpires continued to pay them, he would've been stupid to stop doing it (regardless of the backlash he copped from opposition players and supporters).

I have always preferred the theme songs that build up to a rousing finish. My favourite has always been the Notre Dame Fight Song because of this, as used by clubs like South Melbourne / Sydney Swans, Port Adelaide Magpies in the SANFL, East Fremantle in the WAFL, and North Footscray, Hoppers...

Actually that is rubbish - the virus is still circulating and killing vulnerable patients. My hospital has a ward full of them. The overall numbers are falling but that is probably because people no longer report positive RAT results to the DHHS rather than the virus going away (it NEVER will...

Hate to say it but I think the Orange mob with no supporters are going to be tough to beat this year.

You have to wonder if this continues from the Eagles will the AFL just replace them with Tasmania in 2027. They were as bad today as Footscray were in the early 1980s when they won 4 games in 3 years, or Fitzroy in 1996.

Ohtani will be suspended by Memorial Day - The Giants will win the West with the best pair of starting pitchers in the division.

Western Jets Girls won the premiership in 2022. Williamstown Juniors have a large number of girls in the Jets' squad because they were a 20 goal better team than the other 5 clubs in the WRFL under 18.5s in 2023. Only Point Cook Centrals got close to beating the Seagulls last year. All of the...

Sun too hot (for the 2nd week in a row)

It is amazing how important 1 run can be depending on the circumstances. Making 1 doesn't have the same stigma as making a duck. And making 99 is viewed a lot differently to making 100.

PCC Sharks play the Basin Bears this Sunday at Alamanda Reserve in Point Cook - details to be confirmed.

9 balls left - 33 runs needed - Tim David says "Leave it to me lads". Can't decide if he is Australia's version of Chipper Jones or Bryce Harper - stone cold killers with the lumber.
