    Worst coach sacking in VFL/AFL history

    The players didn't like him. Gary Ayres and Alan Joyce fell out, as did many others. Hawthorn was in a terrible place at the time, but compare the loyalty between the players between Allan Jeans, then Alan Joyce, and it's chalk and cheese. The only player I've ever heard state appreciation for...

    Worst coach sacking in VFL/AFL history

    Northey wasn't sacked. He had a year to run, wanted an extension and Leon Daphne refused, so he went to Brisbane Richmond was idiotic to not provide Northey with an extension. The players were loyal to him.

    Do you want the Premiership cup to stay in your own state if your team dosen't win it?

    No. It really isn't. Few sporting venues in the world have the atmosphere, facilities and history of the MCG I've had friends go to Anfield, and comment on what a run-down pile of crap it was, and the crowd was terrible. I've had friends go to NFL games, MLB games etc. and all say that nothing...

    Toast The Joel Selwood Stand

    Yeah. There to watch the footy without being a pampered poodle :thumbsu: Mind you, I am glad they changed the stand. It was time to move on from the 1960s :) "The Players Stand" and "The Premiership Stand" are two stands with pissweak names that I would like to see changed. They stand for...

    Do you want the Premiership cup to stay in your own state if your team dosen't win it?

    Yeah. 2021 didn't happen. It could be worse. You could be a Fremantle or St Kilda supporter. Imagine being in a perpetual state of hope and disappointment at the same time

    Resource The 'not worthy of a thread of its own' thread

    Irrespective of the fact he follows Geelong, much respect to the man for sticking to his team One of my mates was in Year 12 back in 1999 and he'd wear his Collingwood jumper to casual days, despite being bottom of the ladder. He always maintained that he was proud to follow Collingwood, and...

    Toast The Joel Selwood Stand

    I am very grateful for Joel's contribution to the club. Yes, he is a great of the club. I just never got on the love-in. I don't see him as the perfect being. The problem is mine, and it won't change. I just prefer other players. Joel is not in my top 10 favourite. In terms of best, he's up...

    Toast The Joel Selwood Stand

    That's fine. My comments were tongue in cheek. Please don't take it too seriously I am just not a Joel fan. I might be wrong. I may not be. You're welcome to refute. I just have players I prefer, and I never fell in love with the guy. There are simply other players I enjoy talking about more -...

    Toast The Joel Selwood Stand

    That's fine. I just don't love Joel Selwood. I'm clearly the minority, but I'd rather have an honest opinion that people are welcome to refute than follow the crowd or be afraid to voice anything. You are welcome to reject my thoughts. When you pray to Joel Selwood next Christmas, you can pray...

    A plain wooden spoon sold at a bullshit price because it commemorates a premiership... I think a lot of merchandise is for suckers because 95% of the cost is the licensing That wooden spoon is the proof
