When I was a kid, I wanted a watch, but my Grandfather gave me a set of bagpipes. I said 'But I wanted to know the time'. He said 'Just play the pipes'. So I did, and the guy next door shouted 'Who's playing the f******* bagpipes at 1am?'.

My Grandfather used to fiddle with his beard.

Same story - oh, sometimes the 'pumas' are reported as black anyway. UK France Spain NZ etc.... etc.... Next week - Lake monsters...

In the 2016 election, 43% of eligible 18-29 year olds voted. By contrast 71% of 60+ voters turned up. https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/voter-turnout-rate-by-age-usa?time=2016..latest (sorry, could not find 2020 election figures quickly). Thats's a lot of fresh, fertile ground to be harvested.

That's wrong. Trump knows where his house is.

I'm sorry - I don't think much of most politicians - most try and do a reasonable job etc. But how anyone would vote for a moron like Trump - no matter how much you dislike the opposition - is staggering. And yet, 45-50% of americans (who vote) will.

And probably quite quickly, too.

That as one of the State games in 1963 - Geelong were missing Doug Wade, one or 2 others, and coach Bob Davis. Fitzroy were missing Captain Coach Kevin Murray.

That's some of them.

Just popped in to say - I grew up in Syndal, and my Dad was a regular customer of his licensed grocery (it was one of the last places selling the 26-oz cans of beer). As a little kid, I was naturally awestruck at seeing a REAL VFL footballer, and to me he seemed an absolute giant.

Well, yes - certainly hasn't had much use. I think we need a new speed hump for the Punt rd carpark, so could be a win-win.

Absolutely. And all the water would tip out of your swimming pool. Common sense, really.

So that's where they all went!!! That explains everything. There's obviously a quota, and ours have been designated to the country areas.

He's got that skill that very few of us have - he's 6'7 and is reasonably mobile (for 6'7). He'll get a couple more cracks at it. If he was cheap (ie Port pay 95% of his salary) - we'd have him back as Nank insurance. Our 2 young kids are still miles off it.

Oh, we'll be OK. We have good talent spotters. We didn't build our premiership era on AFL handouts. We picked up Dylan Grimes in the 2009 pre-season draft after every other club passed (including Melbourne who had previously drafted his brother with pick 14). Club captain, B&F, 3-time...

Dear HB, Why the f**** do I follow football, when every year, there's less than 6% chance I will be rewarded for my loyalty? Can you suggest a more enjoyable and fulfilling pastime in which to invest my weekly emotional energy, such as hard rubbish scrounging, or raking the lilydale topping...

Damn. I still reckon his injuries post-2020 were as big a part of our fall from grace as anything else. THE most under-rated player of our premiership era. After Martin, he was as good/valuable/important as anyone else.

It doesn't matter what team he supports. Every club has dickhead supporterss - every club has also has lovely old lady supporters who will offer you a cup of tea from their thermos on a cold day. Just stamp down hard on this idiot. (And yes, hopefully they are already investigating the...

Every club has a glut of half back flankers. The reason being, no draftee plays there in his junior years - they are all gun mids. Thjere are 600+ secondary schools in Victoria, and every one has a kid who's 'the best player at the school'. But when they get to AFL level, every club has a heap...

I'm sort of torn on losing Rioli. Sure, he's been our best payer this year, and he's great to watch, but.... He was an average half-forward - barely averaged a goal a game. He couldn't crack it as a mid. So, he gets tried at half-back and lo and behold, when he's reactive, he's very good...

I don't know if we want 7 picks in the first round in one year. Better to space them over a couple of years, to stagger their development. Also, it gives us a look at who we get in year 1, and if we hit the jackpot, we have some draft capital to trade for a proven gun or two to fill any needs.

Hsn't been a team this bad since ... (checks numbers) ....2022, when there were actually 2 teams worse.

He didn't miss it.

Agree with the above but ......................... His skill set is so special. He's as good a contested mark one-on-one as any in the game. He can run probably faster (admittedly straight line only) than anyone else in the team. He can kick longer than anyone else. Sure - if Lynch comes...

Colin Dobson's one and only game for Richmond was the last game at Punt Rd.

Guess what - we're winning the free kick count.

I hurt myself when my home-made bookcase collapsed on me. I guess I only have my shelf to blame.
