Dan Quayle almost spelt potato correctly in 1992. Can’t think of much since.

In fairness there’s also a parallel article in today’s Oz by Troy Bramston about Trump presenting a clear and present danger to the republic and endorsing Harris as the right choice for the American people. Bramston is a great journo and writer, loved his recent bio on Hawke. Behind a paywall...

Yeah Dunstall’s a funny one. First thing I’d say is he’s not in the conversation for ‘most talented’. No one would ever look at a Bunghole highlights package (compared to others) and say Wow what a freak. But I’m very comfortable saying he’s one of the greatest of all time. For Hawthorn or any...

How about Barassi am not Barrass I am?

What if Brisbane win the premiership AND get the number one draft pick… Human sacrifice, dogs and cats and lions and bears living together. Mass hysteria!

“With an angel riding on his right shoulder, Calsher Dear puts it through.” Let’s hope the angel can find our new Matt Hill’s shoulder too.

I know he only played 6 games for us but I gotta go with this too. Most extraordinary footballer I’ve ever seen.

Hudson ‘Hawka’ Knights, the team mascot. Look, I’m not in Melbourne so I don’t get to many games but I haven’t seen him in years. Needs to at least start showing up if he’s to feature in Sam’s future plans.

I can’t wait for the intra club in Feb when it’s pouring rain on a sodden oval. When Josh Weddle from Team A gets moved to centre half forward vs Josh Battle playing centre half back for Team B? Would it be too much to hope for a Battle Weddle Puddle Battle? With apologies to Theodor Geisel.

I’ve received 2 phone calls this morning: Jobe Watson rang to say he’s enjoyed the status operatus of the thread. While Alastair Clarkson asked me to pass on that through your comments you’ve all had your fair lick of the ice cream but he just can’t decide which one is worthy of taking the...

Bloody interesting guy, hardly your archetypal ‘footballer’. Thanks for posting.

Just to make sure I understand, we keep Carlton’s future first?

I fear for Dover Heights, the expat Aussie Rules team in Kent, UK. Their cliff is white, steep, and adjacent.

Well I don’t know what it’s gonna look like at the end but if our players train there now how bloody good will we be at parkour! I’m excited.

I generally avoid these Israel Hamas threads given how toxic they tend to be. For some stupid reason I was drawn to it today. But that’s a great post- well said.

Has the media disrespected or underrated Brisbane or both? Is there even a difference between ‘disrespecting’ and ‘underrating’? I underrated the Lions this year for sure - due to their poor start, the fact that my team beat them quite comfortably in the home and away (I think this can...

Voted by the other coaches so pretty hard to argue with the format. Personally thought Mitchell should’ve won but really like Fages and very happy for him - Sam’s time will come. Also sacrilege for a Hawks fan but have only come to appreciate in the last 2-3 years what an outstanding coach...

Hawthorn B.Hardwick 2 votes. All he had to do was kick 5 goals in a game. Simples.

Loved Inside Football too, used to look for it in the newsagents every Wednesday.

Loved Jim Main…even though he was a Swans fan.

At the start of his career, Sam Mitchell was known as ‘The Extractor’ for his hard ball gets. Always remained a strong part of his game but ultimately I think he’ll be remembered as a player more for other things, his handball skills on both sides in particular.

Rumoured interest in Frosty from the Swans and Saints 😢. Source was my son just yelling it out from the shower.

Might be mixing things up here but I vaguely recall reading something about him having exceptional peripheral vision as well? And that this is something you can actually train for?

Not directly related to the trade but a question for Freo fans. If Jackson hadn’t arrived do you reckon Lloyd Meek would’ve left? Or was it already on the cards? Didn’t know what we’d get with Meeky but has rapidly become one of our most important players at the Hawks, especially with the...

So, Seattle Mariners, you’re actually Jack Ginnivan?

That hip swivel is something isn’t it. Geez imagine him on the dance floor.

Early days but Heeney has to be clubhouse leader right now.

Speaking from experience, a broken nose often means a lot of blood initially but is very unlikely to keep him out next week. Never good for the looks either.

Western Oval vs Footscray. About 91 I think?
