    Umpiring Who here has actually umpired a game of footy?

    I had a similar one a few years ago. Goal ump was useless and her dad was running boundary. A player had a wild shot for goal and it went on the full by metres. I was right behind the kick and saw it clearly as did every player in the area. She signals a point and everyone just starts going off...

    1990 The Final Story

    Absolutely brilliant TV. We were a very close side that year. It was a no secrets doco which was great. Some guys were very emotional. What affected me: 1. The story about Matthews/Brown/Daniher at 1/2 time. Matthews slamming Brown's head into the wire fence and screaming at TD that Brown is...

    Unusual punishments

    Didn't involve me directly but heard a good punishment dished out by the late David Hookes when he was coaching Victoria in cricket. One of the players was late for a morning session after a loss, so he made every other player in the squad pad up fully - bat, gloves, thigh pad, chest guard...

    Unusual punishments

    Teacher made us put our noses on a cross he drew on the board with chalk. Problem was the cross was at a height where you had to contort your body to do it. We had to stay there for 30 mins.

    The Fitness & Weight Loss Mega Thread

    Taz - I just read your blog from Feb 2012 and then saw the recent picture of you. You seem to be progressing well. What are your measurements now? Your earlier thoughts on energy in versus energy out were spot on; however, you will reach a point where that is not enough to achieve the results...

    Women. Men. Pregnancy. Trap.

    One of my mates got married recently. At the reception the inevitable question came up about when they would have kids. He said "couple of years." Few hours later I mentioned that to his new wife. She winked at me and said "I think it will be a little earlier than that." Blokes - we control...
