Thought it fitting we have a congratulatory thread for Jack as we do our other milestone reachers.
Please limit this thread to congratulations only.
Here's too 100 more and his talent starting to shine, he's shown a lot of resilience so far and thats a credit to him.
Well done.
It was a dreary Adelaide morning, and I was a guest of the Adelaide Football Club.
With Captain Jack in the city of churches he would normally do the honours, but ... in his words... he 'couldn't deal with those ****ing bogans right now'.
Fair call, it was 7am - everything starts early in the...
Terrible news.
Unfortunately for me the first thing that springs to mind is the growing list of Melbourne players and officials who spent time at Junction Oval succumbing to cancer - although this isn't confirmed as a serious illness yet, it's safe to say that's what they'll be testing for...
Looking for some advice on places to enjoy a night out in Adelaide (inb4 'nowhere' gags) - a few mates and I are travelling to Adelaide to watch the Test, deciding on between two places to stay at the moment (both within walking distance of Ad Oval).
One is near O'Connell St and Wellington...
Why do we as a supporter base always blame our players for our poor performances and culture?
Read D'Land (which I only do once in a blue moon .. thank ****) and guys like Sylvia, Davey and Watts are considered 'cancers' on the club...
Malcolm Speed (former ICC CEO, CA Exec and current...
Okay, so I thought on the day which could make or break our spirit as a supporter group (dramatic, yes - but if we lose there will be some huge slashing of wrists... we all know it) we should look on the bright side of our year....
I thought we could all list three positives of the year so far...
Neil Craig knocked on the door... a commanding voice said 'ENTER', Craigy trembled.
He opened the door, on one hand there was a poster of Russell Robertson smiling - there were darts scattered all around the poster... unfortunately not one had managed to hit the target (Robbo's nose) - and on...
I was looking through the ratings systems and I thought to myself, wow - these ratings are surprisingly accurate in showing the improvement and decline of certain players; for example.
On the back of a strong 2011 season, Jack Trengove was rated 88th in the competition in Round 2, 2012 - he is...
Roys vs Royals
With a win last the week the mighty Roys will return to their home in the Brunswick Junction Oval in some of their best form for the season... er, despite a competitive showing during the pre-season the Roys have struggled over the first nine rounds of qooty in S16 and are odds on...
Swamprats vs Dragons
With both teams coming off credible losses, the pressure is on form one of them to maintain their form and get their qootball season back on track.
The Swamprats went down to a strong Gumbies outfit whom they couldn't quite match for four quarters while the Dragon went...
Wonders vs Gumbies
And here we are, the much anticipated clash between the top four sides the West Coast Wonders and the Geelong Gumbies; both teams sit at six wins and three losses this season, so this game is effectively an eight pointer with the winner jumping ahead in the race to grab a home...
Demons vs Bombers
Two old rivals re-united, although in vastly different circumstances to their other meetings with the Demons and their Snowbunnies bouncing high near the top of the ladder with the Baghdad Bombers perched perilously outside the six on percentage.
The Demons are coming off a...
Furies vs Hawks.
Both these qooty teams are heading into this game with a point to prove; the Hawks after sliding down the ladder following their loss to the Demons, they need to prove that they are still a serious flag contender with a win against solid opposition in the Furies.
While after...
*brring, brring* ... *brring, brring*
I sat up in my chair, my caller ID read 'Private Number' - normally I am loathe to take calls from private numbers but Biff had assured me that his afternoon, and on the other end of that devious moniker, I would receive a call that I absolutely could not...
Hi, I've got a mate who's turning 21 in about a month - very into collecting vinyl's, however I don't think he's got a particularly good collection or a particularly good turntable.
I just wanted to know a bit about the different types of vinyl's (LP, 2xLP (does this just mean there are two...
Today, I thought about why we're shit.
Neeld's brought in players he wants, he's had another pre-season with the group, why are we still be performing so shittily?
Well, a start is that the 14 players Neeld has brought in have not 'had another pre-season' under Neeld.
We've turned over a...
This has been bugging me for a long time; the sub-rule, the new ruck rules, the new interchange cap, etc.
Now the message coming from AFL HQ is that they are trying to eliminate 'congestion' in the game....
I ask, what gives them the right to determine how the game should look? Who are they...
Okay guys, I thought it might be fun to come up with a consensus best 22 of all (or the majority..) of Dees posters on the board.
Basically post your best 22 and then rank the players (as follows)...
Best 22
B: Nicholson Frawley Garland
HB: Dunn McDonald Watts
C: Viney Jones Sylvia

In a soon to be unsuccessful attempt to ward off pesky poachers, TPM (popular member of the Baghdad String Quartet) has agreed to a new deal with the Bombers...
The length of the contract is 'infinity'.
This move came after crystalbreathX's ground breaking ffffread to promote the idea of...
Okay, I know last year I said I'd do it and I only ended up getting to something like 4-5 because of work... but THIS year I've taken on two uni subjects over summer (both of which I can do completely online due to tutes being non-comp) which means I can trick my boss into thinking I have uni...
So, it seems that every single recognised 'senior leader' from the Bailey era wants out of the club.
Moloney and Green = gone.
Davey and Rivers = rumoured to be heavily considering their futures.
Now, those four players have made up the clubs leadership group over the past 5 years - no...
The reason for the slow starts that have plagued the Baghdad Bombers in recent weeks has been unveiled by the reigning premiers 'Health and Well-being' Officer; ThePuppetMaster.
His statement, release approximately a minute before this media article, was as follows...
"We at Baghdad have...
As THB (the reigning EKA Medalist) kindly offered his email address for our amusement in the 'Volunteers to post games' thread, I thought we could make a competition out of it.
I'm looking for four combatants (and possibly myself) to see how much interest they can garner for The Half Back on...
Now that I have your attention with an eye-grabbing title (thanks to the Herald Sun for the tips); let's talk about expansion....
The idea of the thread is to post pictures of SFA players; doing KKKKRRRAAAAAZZZYYY things!!!
Importantly, you must be able to imagine them doing this.
For...
Hi guys, I'm looking to add to my music collection with some really groundbreaking/essential albums.
Please don't feel they have to be mainstream either.
I've got a fairly good spread of modern music already, so looking to expand the experience!
Any genre goes; as what point is there in...
From 'KC from Casey' - Demonland
Watts was reported to be playing mainly a midfield role (by Josh Mahoney) 'KC' also mentioned Jurrah was good in the first quarter.
Expecting a slightly bigger summary of players now it's 1/2 time.
For this stage in the transformation of our game style... does Neeld have our players trying to do too much?
This comes after two articles in the premier newspapers of the country (the HUN and the Age in case you've been locked in a basement from birth) from two recently retired AFL players...
