Gee that Callahan is a gun, he gets the footy and runs like the wind and is built like the old brick shithouse.

Not anymore. They’ve been bred wrong recently. But traditionally much more fiece than their modern version.

Maybe, maybe not, just quoting what that ABC article said. I can still remember being excited by that Friday night game at the SCG in 1983, I reckon they had some in 1985, I remember a game against the cats. And I don’t recall North really getting going with their Friday night games until about...

I was there that day and had no idea, you couldn’t see that well from the outer hill, but appreciated the fact we acknowledged the ANZAC’s across the weekend. Some footy ‘journos’ commented that they were sick of ceremonies all weekend, their ignorance was quickly pointed out that normal folk go...

We have alway represented the poorest, working class industrial part of Melbourne, no one ever went to or cared about. We only get 2 games at the MCG, year in, year out. 0 annual marquee games, and 0 ever non annual marquee matches. We once played two Good Friday games as the away team, got...

I’d like to see Richards and Garcia get spells in the middle each quarter at some point, both for their own benefit and the teams too.
