    Universal Love Peter "Buzz" Bosustow

    Hi all, I’ve been having a chat to Peter. Admin, hopefully this is ok to put up this post? Some of you may be aware, that he has fallen on hard times recently. His health has not been good. To help ease his financial pressures, he is selling some special prints of himself (Including the Mark...

    Have Carlton become the new Norf?

    Just wondering. Have Carlton morfed into Norf this trade period? They talked the talk, pumped up their chests, "We are Carlton da da da". Chased the big names & ended up with a couple of VFL players. SOS didn't exactly cover himself in glory did he? Couldn't land a single targetted player...

    Player played for two clubs in the same round?

    Somebody may be able to confirm this for me, but I vaguely recall a player playing for 2 clubs in the same round, either in the late 70's or early 80's? Pretty sure it was a split round. He was cleared to the second club mid week I think. I thought that it was Hawthorn & Essendon ruckman...

    Media frothing at the mouth over Collingwood!

    Just had a WTF moment, when I read some media hysteria/hyperbole etc. So some media guru is now trying to spark a comparison between Darcy Moore & Peter Knights, as bona fide Centre Half Back stars. Moore has played 2 games there so far, albeit good games. And I sincerely hope that he remains...

    Crawford Productions shows

    Are there any "old" fans out there like me, who grew up watching those great Crawfords Productions cop shows, like "Division 4", "Matlock Police" & "Homicide"? They were on at the same time on different channels. Just fantastic productions they were at the time. I just ordered the first 2...

    Razor Ray couldn't even kiss his wife goodnight on Saturday night

    Collingwood Captain Razor Ray Chamberlain couldn't even pucker up, to give his wife a goodnight kiss on Saturday night. His lips were so sore after all of the blowing he did. He was SO exhausted after his best a field, dominant performance against the Giants at the "G". He was especially...

    So when the Sydney Swans sign Ryder....

    WILL it REALLY be that much of a surprise??? Will Eddie McGuire's head REALLY explode??? What's the bet that the Swans are working on fitting Paddy into their Salary Cap as we speak? Offload a few more players....Malceski, Reid, Richards Sure they can afford him.

    Would the Lions consider trading Lueuy?

    At the start of the year, I assumed like everybody else that Martin's tenure at the Lions was going to end in 2014. Boy has he turned that assumption on it's head. His form over the past 7 - 8 weeks has been phenomenal....almost AA form. I thought (and still do) that Lueuy is one of the best...

    Hot Toys action figures

    Hey has anybody seen these action figures from a company called Hot Toys ? I spotted them when I was in the States recently. I brought the Superman & Jack Nicholson Joker figures. The resemblance to Christopher Reeves & Jack Nicholson is stunning. They are amazing. Yes expensive & not the...

    The Legend of Jonathan Brown

    A great article about JB. Thought it deserved a spot in the main forum as well as the Lion's forum. http://www.theage.com.au/afl/afl-news/legend-of-jonathan-brown-20121026-28ayr.html

    Roosy to return to coaching in 2014

    During "Open Mike" tonight, Mike Sheehan said that he is pretty sure that Roosy will return to coaching in 2014. Has Sheehan got some inside knowledge there ? You would imagine that he wouldn't come back as an assistant ? I wonder which club may have a potential vacancy in 2014 ? Not many...

    What do we need to focus on during the off/pre season ?

    When I watched the Essendon v Lions practice game at Visy Park in March, I could not believe how much the Bombers had bulked up over the off season. We looked like skinny boys compared to the Bombers. As fate has it, maybe the Bombers went too hard in the gym, possibly causing their soft...

    Using IPad and Smartphone in the USA. What is the best option ?

    I don't want to use international roaming. What is the best option for getting net access for the IPad over in the USA ? Also for using a Samsung Galaxy phone ? I hear that it is difficult getting a sim card once over there. Apparently I need to get a US credit card ? Does anyone have some...

    Vossy's chat with Gieschen.

    Vossy mentioned in his presser last week, that he intended to have a chat with Gieschen. Wonder how that chat went ? Last week's umpiring display, especially in that 3rd qtr & with the free against Lester, was disgraceful.

    Voss's pre occupation with his magnetic board

    What is it with us & that bloody magnetic board ? At qtr time, I was expecting Voss to rush into the huddle & rip into our blokes over an insipid 1st qtr...Instead the coaching staff & him virtually spent all of the qtr time break in their own huddle, discussing strategies & moves over their...

    So what is Vossy's game plan ?

    Please, this is not meant to be a troll feast or a "sack Vossy" thread. I'm genuinely interested in what others think is Vossy's game plan this year. For the first few games, he seemed to be playing a Sydney type game, ie keeping possession & chipping the ball around until good options...

    R.I.P Kalev Vann

    Just got the sad news that Kalev Vann, passed away this week from cancer at the age of 55. He is probably better known as a Preston player. He only played 2 games for Fitzroy in the 70's, but that is irrelevant. I would like to extend my condolences to his family & friends.

    Browny as a stay-at-home full forward - Can he kick the ton ?

    I don't see why Browny can't kick the ton, if he stays fit & on the park. Plonk him in the goal square with Jordan at CHF. He doesn't have a "Bradshaw" patrolling the forward line anymore. He would be the main man. It would be fitting to see him follow in the path of the great Bernie...

    Which opposition team scored only 12 behinds till half time at the JO ???

    I think that my memory is playing tricks on me here. Normally I have a very good memory/recollections of Fitzroy games from 1978 onwards. Can anybody remember a game at the Junction Oval in the early 80's, where our opposition only scored 12 behinds till half time ? I could have sworn...

    Qld heat: How do the new recruits acclimatise ?

    I've often wondered, how new recruits acclimatise to the Qld heat ? Especially the Victorian, SA & Tassie recruits. I travel to Qld a few times a year & I certainly notice the heat! Are the newbies eased into training, especially this time of the year ? I don't know if I could run or...

    Go Home Factor - Brisbane's way seems stronger this year

    If the media are to be believed (And it is a big "IF") Beams, McGuane & possibly Tippett have expressed interest in returning to Qld, if not to the Lions next year. It makes a welcome change for the players wanting to go the other way. I just wish that a big name would come out & demand that...

    And who could blame him for leaving on such a good note. http://www.heraldsun.com.au/sport/afl/geelong-skipper-cameron-ling-goes-out-on-grand-final-high/story-e6frf9jf-1226158536543

    Aker seeks comeback with GWS.

    Apparently Aker wants to make a comeback with GWS. He has been courting Gubby Allen recently. The response has apparently been lukewarm from GWS. In classic Aker style, he states that no body knows of James McDonald! Furthermore he would put bums on seats. Would love to see it happen...

    Hypothetically, which club/s could appoint Malthouse as coach in 2012 ?

    Well Mick has stated that he will not coach at senior AFL level again. Also as far as him working at club level again, he said there is little chance of this happening in the future. He has left the door slightly ajar I reckon by saying unless there is a change of heart. Given 12 months...

    Business & Finance Buying Defence Housing Australia (DHA) properties

    I'm looking into buying a DHA property as an investment. It is for negative gearing purposes. I hear conflicting reports about these properties. Some say to stay away because the houses are normally overpriced & the rental yield is lower than market price. They could also be harder to...

    Banter between Browny & Sam Newman on TFS Re: Fevola

    The most ridiculous scenario was raised by Sam Newman last night on TFS. He asked Browny why Brisbane wouldn't give Fev another go seeing that we are still paying his salary for 2012. Browny very strongly stated that Fev has had his chances at Brisbane. Been there, done that. Still Sam...

    Players who need to have a "Breakout Game".

    I s'pose we're no different to the majority of clubs in that we have players on our list, who need to step up & start showing the footy world what they are capable of. For me, the player that fits this category at Brisbane is Polkinghorne. He has been around long enough, has played ok in...

    Season 2011: One Step Back to go Two Steps Forward

    As much as I was disappointed last night with the result, I see a lot of light at the end of the tunnel. Looking at the big picture, I think that we are on the right track now, finally! Getting rid of players such as Trav, Fev, Proud etc & now unfortunately with long term injuries to Brown...
