    Autopsy US Election Day Thread - Trump 47th President of the United States

    There are many in this world sick of having to soft shoe shuffle through life because someone may take offence at a word they utter or an action they take which would have been perfectly acceptable 10-20 years back. For instance, the players from GWS suspended for wearing twin tower costumes or...

    Play Nice 47th President of the United States: Donald Trump - Part 20: If you want Capitalism, you got it

    I know you will disagree, but there are many in this world sick of having to soft shoe shuffle through life because someone may take offence at a word they utter or an action they take which would have been perfectly acceptable 10-20 years back. For instance, the players from GWS suspended for...

    Play Nice 47th President of the United States: Donald Trump - Part 20: If you want Capitalism, you got it

    You cop a bit of a bollocking for your political stance, but there is something quaintly nostalgic in your position, a throwback to the days when the ballot paper included communist party candidates and when socialism really was about state ownership of major industries and transport. Back in...

    Play Nice 47th President of the United States: Donald Trump - Part 20: If you want Capitalism, you got it

    If you think Harris is genocide enabling, what are you going to think of Trump? He is sure to give Israel carte blanche to do its worst. The Palestinians may as well dig mass graves for themselves. Why did Trump win? I don't understand Americans. I imagine many of his supporters have their...

    Review Winners and losers - trade week 2024

    The Collingwood faithful will howl you down on that particularly that our trading was conducting with not needing next year's first uppermost in mind. If he is not round one then we have made a mistake throwing away yet another first round pick.

    Review Winners and losers - trade week 2024

    The trades will look OK if we win next year's premiership. Houston is a good pick up but our lack of young talls forward and back is a worry that the club has not seemed to keen on addressing. It's going to be a very boring draft for Collingwood supporters but an exciting one for the clubs with...

    Game Day 2024 GF Swans v. Lions - Saturday 28 Sep @ 2:30 @ MCG

    For the second time BT has miscalled the action of the game. Hopeless.

    Preview Grand Final 2024 - Sydney Swans / South Melbourne Bloods vs Brisbane Bears/ Fitzroy Lions - The Big Dance

    Remember that Collingwood used Frampton in last year's GF to keep Andrews out of the action and occupied. It worked for 75% of the game and Frampton is hardly a star of the game and is in fact, I'd think, close to being delisted. Geelong certainly started the game against Brisbane with Olle...

    Preview Grand Final 2024 - Sydney Swans / South Melbourne Bloods vs Brisbane Bears/ Fitzroy Lions - The Big Dance

    You might have a few more Collingwood supporters behind your Swans given there is a desire among many to see Grundy win the premiership he missed out on. I'm still too lazy and too cheap to change my username and am stuck in a dinosaur era of team lists, but I suppose I still have a soft spot...

    Welcome Welcome to Hawthorn : Jack Ginnivan!

    I wanted him. I didn't trade him. I have followed his career at Hawthorn with interest. In fact, I was barracking for Hawthorn last night largely so I would have the opportunity to see him play in the finals.

    Welcome Welcome to Hawthorn : Jack Ginnivan!

    I like Ginnivan because he dares to be himself in a game where players tend to be sycophantic mouthpieces for the club rather than individuals. By the same token, I am wary of Ginnivan when he seeks to taunt a club the way he did Port this week. He poked the bear and got bitten, though he took...

    Jack Ginnivan - Redemption arc

    Maybe the team things aren't working so well anymore - perhaps they have become tired and are not fuelling the teams' fire anymore, and an individual spark is needed to lift them on field. Ginnivan's cheeky, in your face celebrations and behaviour on the ground seem precisely what is needed to...

    Jack Ginnivan - Redemption arc

    I wouldn't disagree that he is a winner. Trading him to Hawthorn was a dreadful decision, made significantly worse by the team's lack of success this year. Getting rid of him was an Oliver Cromwell kill-joy decision that cost the team a unique personality and a team lifter. Schulz was a waste of...

    Autopsy AFL 2024 Round 21 - Pies v Blues Sat Aug 3rd 7:30pm AEST (MCG)

    The Blues have a habit of losing the unlosable, like they did last week. I wouldn't be too cocky about this game.

    Autopsy AFL 2024 Round 19 - Hawks v Pies Sat July 20th 4:35pm AEST (MCG)

    Unfortunately yes but I kind of knew he was going to make us pay dearly today. He played a great game.
