    Greatest movie soundtracks of all time

    I'm surprised no-one's mentioned Rushmore yet. Going on what the soundtrack lends to the movie (rather than just the quality of the collection of songs), it's hard to go past Rushmore and Donnie Darko.

    Past legends thread #4 - Peter Sumich

    Oddly enough, Round 4, 1997 against Hawthorn at Subi. This was in the middle of his brief comeback, having spent the previous season playing CHB for Souths. He kicked 7 that night, despite taking only 1 mark. He played on Mark Graham who, despite dominating the one-on-one contests, had to watch...

    Who have we given up?

    If we include Burton, then we also have to add Ben Robbins (now at the Kangaroos, via Brisbane) who was on our list in '94 & '95 but never played a game. Also, who's this Stone character ? Our Nick Stone finished up in 2000, and is most definitely NOT the same person as Hawthorn's Nick Stone.

    Eagles Trivia Thread!

    Given the lack of replies, I'll take an uneducated guess and say Craig Turley.

    Why does state of origin work for Rugby?

    Just the opposite, actually - the concept was first used in Australian Rules, and then borrowed by RL. I think it was the brainchild of the Western Australians, who were sick of seeing local players move to (and indeed play for) Victoria. In the first SOO match (1977), WA beat Victoria by 94...

    Round 4 Sweet FA Teams

    I think it's a sign of a very astute selector to not destroy the chemistry of the FB line, despite a certain defender getting McKernan-ed last week. My direct opponent kicked only the one goal, due in no small part to the fierce pressure he was put under during the first 8.540001% of the game :)

    mental challenge

    But the skateboard originally belongs to Paul - it's not shared (like the dogs and flea circus). The dogs and the flea circus are originally half-owned by both Ross and Paul, the skateboard isn't. Say your grandmother gave you and your brother $10 to share, how much would he have to pay you...
  8. Q

    mental challenge

    I get $2 for the skateboard. I think you have to remember that the skateboard isn't actually shared to begin with, so skateboard = 1/2 (dog - flea circus). It's interesting that the answer (mine, at least) is independent of the number of cats. When the square of the number of cats is divided...

    tomorrows game

    Re: Re: tomorrows game And (to quote Dale Kerrigan) the rest is just good luck ? :)
  10. Q

    Should we employ a rotation policy

    Sorry to pick one quote out of an interesting post, but this is VERY harsh on McKenna, IMO. He had outstanding defensive ability - he was virtually never conceded the ball to his opponent in a one-on-one contest. His attacking skills were also first rate - the cool delivery into the midfield...

    West Coast Magic players....please read.

    I should point out that although the forward pocket kicked 12 against us in the Wizard Cup SF, I'd been dragged well and truly before he got those last two! Oh well, the black-and-whites will be all the richer for my "Me, chase? Did I mention I was on the Bulldogs rookie list ?" attitude on...

    A Trip Down Memory Lane...

    I could tell you about the time Karl Langdon kicked a running right foot (i.e. wrong foot) banana from the boundary line at Subi......but you'd hardly believe it. Best mark - Muddy Waterman over Carey & Jako in '93.
  13. Q

    A Trip Down Memory Lane...

    One of the most memorable games I've ever been to (the others would be the 94 QF against Collingwood, and the 1-point loss to Carlton at Subi in 95). McAvaney copped a fair bit of flak for his "Carey would've kicked that" comment after Grant missed from about 40 out just before half time. But...

    Some players who looked shaky on Saturday

    Apart from the abysmal foot and hand skills ? I must admit I haven't seen Glass play in the WAFL, but at AFL level he appears to be somewhat of a clanger merchant. I think Glass can develop into a pretty decent key defender, if he can learn to avoid the ball at all costs :)
  15. Q

    Tigers song - Especially for Goldenblue....

    As much as I love the mighty black-and-whites, I've always found our song a bit grating. Doesn't it have the same tune as "Babyface, you've got the cutest little babyface...." ? If not, it's far too similar for my liking.
