    Autopsy AFL 2025 Grand Final - Cats v Lions Sat Sept 27th 2:30pm EST (MCG) - Lions go B2B

    Despite indications to the contrary, this post shows that Collingwood supporters know a bit about the game. This seems only fair, given the time and effort they put into becoming so well-informed.

    How very civil of you. A true sport.

    Autopsy AFL 2025 Grand Final - Cats v Lions Sat Sept 27th 2:30pm EST (MCG) - Lions go B2B

    He has not been beaten in the ruck all year. He hasn't always won, though with our fleet of midfielders, this matters little. It seems to have escaped some people's notice that Fort has only this season just passed the 50 game mark. A very wise player now.

    After the lust, the dust adjuster.

    Test Vale Keith Stackpole

    'Stacky' played at Collingwood C.C., in Melbourne's District competition, before he was made coach of Carlton. His dad, Keith Senior, who played in Fitzroy's last footy premiership, in 1944, was a long time coach of the Collingwood C.C. Jack Ryder was a sort of honorary coach, even though he was...

    Are West Coast the worst team since Fitzroy 1996?

    Fitzroy didn't win a game in 1964. They only won a single game in 1963, against Geelong, the eventual premiers. They were a worse side than the 1996 team. 1996 was painful to watch, not so much because of the demise of Fitzroy at its end, but because of the hideous standard of footy we had to...

    Autopsy AFL 2025 Round 6 - Lions v Pies Thurs April 17th 7:30pm AEST (Gabba)

    I simply adore 'Daicoi' as plural of Daicos (by which name they should be forever collectively known). Despite being a very silly person, you are quite astute. I was going to vote for the Silly Party at the election, but I would have to vote for them all. I've heard that's a tad illegal where...

    You write extremely well.

    Best Individual Performance You Have Seen!!

    Late 1960s, Bob Skilton kicked seven goals at the Brunswick Street Oval. Played the entire game as first rover. Kicked four with his left foot and three with his right. All of them were drop kicks. None of them closer than 45 yards out. Thus, easily the best footballer I've ever seen. Nobody has...

    Autopsy AFL 2025 Round 5 - Dogs v Lions Sat April 12th 4:15pm AEST (Norwood)

    The problem lies with the quality (or lack thereof) of the cameras. My son was responsible for the installation of the goal post cams throughout Australia. Better cameras are/were available, but the AFL refused to stump up the extra dough required. He was also responsible for the technical...

    Autopsy AFL 2025 Round 5 - Dogs v Lions Sat April 12th 4:15pm AEST (Norwood)

    Quite so. There is a complete lack of understanding abroad about how affected he must have been by the dreaded osteitis pubis from which he suffered for most of last season, and beyond. It's not as though his osteitis wasn't public.

    Player Watch Will Ashcroft - better than D Martin, L Hodge, McLeod, or Naicos

    I put myself through the hell of watching Collingwood games just to see Daicos play (both of them, in fact). As has already been mentioned, Ashcroft and N. Daicos share skills with their hands the like of which I've rarely seen. It amazes me that the umpires have awarded so many Charlie votes...

    Mid East Israel declare war after Hamas attack III

    It would seem that both Netanyahu and Putin are proposing to use nukes to settle their 'disputes'. That'll work. Can't see any possibility of Armageddon in that. I find it offensive that each side in this dispute expect, nay, demand that all citizens of the planet embrace their individual...

    AFL Grand Final AFL 2024 GRAND FINAL: 2024 Premiers BRISBANE LIONS

    I have heard so many people say how disappointed they were that the game was one-sided. Had they been watching closely they would have seen a perfect example of how brilliantly our lovely game can be played. Hardly a disappointment, nor a waste of time. Best ball game on the planet, especially...

    St Kilda President Andrew Bassat tees off on the AFL draft system, specifically father/son and the Northern Academies

    Would this imbecile from St Kilda have opened his gob in the highly unlikely event that St Kilda had been premiers? I think it simply splendid that he is pissed off. There should be more of it.
