    Players You Love to Hate

    True, we haven’t had that many. Langdon and Phil Read weren’t liked by many. Even Woosha, Phil Matera and Daniel Kerr weren’t particularly loved. Maybe it’s my love of NBA, but I think it’s great that guys like Sicily and Mason Cox are around. Nothing wrong with a bit of strut. As Aussies...

    Players You Love to Hate

    Footy wouldn’t be the same without some villains. If they played for us they’d be your favourite player. However... Tom Lynch is the private school prefect who’d dob you in for having a durrie after school. He left for the best team in the comp (who would have won a flag with me in the goal...

    Player Watch 11 marks in a season gets you an AA Ruck position

    NicNat’s marking stat is the yardstick I use for whether I should respect someone’s football knowledge. Congrats OP.

    Recommitted Jack Silvagni

    I rate him, and I see him playing a Chris Mayne role as a hybrid forward/mid who can be relied on for consistent effort but lacks the traits of a star. This isn’t a knock, he always has a crack and should play 150 games. He would look much better in a strong side (like most players!).

    Traded Tim Kelly [traded with #57 and future 3rd to West Coast for #14, #24, #33 and future 1st]

    It’s good that footy clubs aren’t run by the idiots on BigFooty! West Coast and Geelong are both well-run, professional clubs who understand the value of getting a deal done. They also understand that we’re dealing with a real person and family, not an abstract commodity like some on here like...

    Players hugging their opponents after a goal.....

    Imagine being so staunch and miserable that this would upset you. Blokes who spend their life trying to be ‘old-school’ but are really just afraid of any emotion or affection. It’s not good for your health, thank god things are changing.

    Play Nice Indigenous AFL players call out Adam Goodes's treatment ahead of The Final Quarter documentary release

    You don’t actually believe that do you? I’ve always enjoyed your contributions to the forum, but that is one of the most moronic and hyperbolic things I’ve seen here. Seriously, ‘militant anti-integration subversives’? You can’t accuse people of overreacting when you say this nonsense.

    Game Day Round 2 - Greater Western Sydney Giants v The Greatest West-of-Sydney giants | Sat Mar 30, 2019 5.10PM AWST @ Optus Stadium

    You worry about the umpires waaaay too much. Chill out and enjoy the footy.

    Swearing at umpires

    There’s a difference between swearing to an umpire and swearing at an umpire. Different umpires might have different personal interpretations of that (and that’s fair enough), so it’s probably smarter to just keep your mouth shut.

    Current Claremont Murders Discussion & Edwards trial updates

    Sarah went missing on Australia Day after going to the fireworks. Not really a routine evening. Jane changed her plans at the last minute and decided not to leave with her friends. She’d also initially wanted to go to the movies with her brother but he couldn’t attend. Also hardly part of a...

    Current Claremont Murders Discussion & Edwards trial updates

    I’m not saying it’s impossible, just that it’s unlikely. If the Karrakatta attack is a template for his later offending, he picked his target in the moment for matters of convenience. He was looking for a lone girl on the outskirts of the entertainment area. That’s what he found in Rowe Park in...

    Current Claremont Murders Discussion & Edwards trial updates

    Sarah was coming from CBV. Much quicker to walk down St Quentin’s Ave to Stirling Rd and then wait on the highway, especially if you’re going to Mosman Park.

    Current Claremont Murders Discussion & Edwards trial updates

    Working on the presumption that the Karrakatta crime was a prelude to the Claremont murders, it just seems waaaay more likely that the victims were chosen at random for issues of convenience. I just don’t buy the theory that he sat and waited for a girl that he had a tenuous link to (through...
