Yeah I couldnt get into it, but I enjoyed the doco, probably because of some of the scenary and watching the orchestra playing.

Quarters used to be 25 minutes, plus time on, but there wasnt so much wasted time like there is today. The mechanical clock would be next to the scoreboard at nearly all grounds around Oz in the major leagues, and would be marked like a normal clock but instead of 1, 2, 3 etc it was 5, 10, 15...

This is starting to make sense of the construction costs. I haven't been able to get my head around the blow out in construction costs to have a new 60k to 80k stadium built on a green field site to cost $3.4bil, over 3 times what it cost to build Perth Stadium's 60k seater and yes the Perth...

Thanks, I automatically thought televised meant on 7, and forgot its streamed for free these days on AFL.

I did a search by ANZAC and reckon this is the best thread to stick this in. https://www.portadelaidefc.com.au/news/1537446/rucci ALBERT Chaplin took to the shade under one of the olive trees that marked the Zeitoun district of north Cairo, Egypt. It had been another demanding day at the...

With all due respect, the dodgiest bribery stuff happened under Juan Antonio Samaranch's Presidency which was between 1980 and 2001 and it was up to Jacques Rogge to start cleaning it up. Coates was made an IOC member in 2001 because of the glowing success of Sydney after the toilet games that...

Saturday night is AFL games for 7, outside of finals.

Well done Zak. Love yah being creative, but don't try and do it all on your own when we are down.

Saturday night's Magpies game v Norwood at 7.10pm is the first game at Alberton under lights for premiership points. With the A grade playing on Friday night should get many of the club's players coaches and officials there, and hopefully a decent crowd. Lets hope the 12 or 13 top up players...

Modern players might need to get put into their contracts that they still get match payments if they get reported, the way decisions are made these days. Brent 'Tiger' Croswell famously got that clause put in his contract. He has said that he knew that he would need a rest during the season...

Reasons (1/2)... why impact was upheld as medium: We deal first with the impact. We are satisfied that the impact has been correctly classified as medium for the following reasons. First, the vision captures Walters’ head hitting the ground with force. That is so even if his head did first...

From David Zita. Tom Barrass’ one-match ban has been upheld. He will miss this week’s game against Gold Coast. He might publish the reason why soon.

The first good bloke defence case has concluded now awaiting deliberation. David Zita's comments from the hearing. Might get a decision in an hour's time...

To honour the round, and importantly the 165 past and current players who served in the military, ....... I think we have 3 AFLW players either currently or used to be employed by the ADF.

Forget after the 20 minute mark, as a quarter can go 32 minutes and only a combined 4 goals have been kicked. So much time is wasted these days that the old red zone after the 25 minute mark, when most quarters only went another 3 or 4 minutes, is a meaningless concept to draw the line at the...
