Songs / music videos that sum up your life.
That's a great description of Daydreaming, Mootsy. I'm a big fan of both the song and music video, too. Stands to reason a collaboration between P.T. Anderson and Thom Yorke would produce something pretty special. -
Songs / music videos that sum up your life.
Just watched this from a Melbourne-based band that I follow via YouTube: Smoking aside, it pretty much sums up my life at the moment. A 9-5 job that I hate, no gf, a feeling of defeat (being a Pies supporter obviously doesn't help), and only limited time and energy for my one creative outlet... -
Improving the standard of the game: Bonus Points?
Even if only as a pre-season experiment, I'd rather see the number of on-field players per side reduced by 2-3. I loved that moment on the weekend when Pavlich and Mackenzie were duelling for the ball in the forward pocket with no-one else around. I think it's exciting to watch just two players...- Words: 170

Will Dusty be deregistered after last night?
Err, sure ... why not? -
Collingwood vs St Kilda
How devastating for the mighty Saints to be robbed of a certain draw tonight and thus a short-lived finals appearance. The Pies had eleven more scoring shots and the St. Kilda supporters still think their team deserved the win? Give me a break. If your team's finals campaign is dependent...- Words: 77

Angry Cheer Squad Member Guy
Why does the AFL do everything in its power to 'clean up' the game itself -- to the point of eradicating all fights, physical contests, rough tackles, minor physical contact, etc. -- and argue that it's to make the game more appealing ... but then they allow Channel 7 to portray the average...- Words: 110

Collingwood's last quarter. Hahahahaha!
So if St. Kilda's 1966 Grand Final victory had been their only ever Grand Final appearance, you'd consider them a more successful club than Geelong, Carlton, Collingwood, Hawthorn, Essendon, etc? When was it decided that the ratio of wins : appearances was the most important stat of all? Sounds... -
Collingwood's last quarter. Hahahahaha!
So, how far does this logic go? Can I assume then that bowing out in the first week is better than losing a prelim? Presumably, not even making it to the finals is better than losing in the first week. After all, the pain of missing out completely can't be as bad as the pain of losing when you... -
Collingwood's last quarter. Hahahahaha!
You're glad your club has five less premierships and far fewer Grand Final appearances? Okay. -
Collingwood's last quarter. Hahahahaha!
I am disappointed. To watch your team give it away in the final quarter is really shameful. Pathetic, really. Now I know how Hawthorn supporters felt last week. -
Does our strategy need to change in 2012?
+1 for using the corridor. Plus, I'd like to see our players stronger than ever. Mark Neeld has said that he intends to make Melbourne the toughest team in the competition but I'd much rather the Pies held that mantle. Make them the most physically powerful and intimidating side in the...- Words: 160

Why we lost today.
I was telling a Geelong supporter friend of mine the same thing last night; that that attitude was a huge concern of mine. Malthouse said after that game that it wasn't something they were going to dwell upon; that they'd won 20 games during the year and were a much better team than they seemed...- Words: 100

Harry O'Brien what a guy!
I'm sure he's a really nice bloke but he does comes across as a bit of a w***er at times ... Still, the same's true of the self-righteous w***ers who write dozens of posts on BigFooty criticising him every time he opens his mouth. "Hey, everyone! Pay attention to me while I denounce Harry... -
Travis Cloke - New AFL contested marking record
These sorts of records are a bit ... meh. Cloke's obviously a fantastic mark -- no-one's saying otherwise -- but he also has the ball fed to him a hell of a lot more than, say, Port Adelaide's forwards. Collingwood dominates insides 50s and that ensures that Cloke has more opportunities than...- Words: 170
