    Jack Ginnivan - Redemption arc

    Time for a mea culpa BigFooty. Has your opinion on the young man changed? I know I have done a full 180 on him, and absolutely love what he brings to the league. We don’t see a lot of contrition nowadays, so pray tell me, how do you feel about the king of the Gen Zs?

    Which team has the highest % of coke heads?

    So according to parliamentary privilege, Melbourne has a whole heap but apparently many of the players had “pre-existing dependencies” and just happened to end up there. Bulldogs: didn’t that religious bloke leave because of the “troubling party culture”?? I assume he was religious… GC obvious...

    20 Teams, 20 Rounds per year.
    Threadmarks: Genius

    Along with Tassie, bring in another team. 20 rounds per year. For broadcasters, with 10 games per week this is ~the same number of home and away games per year as we had in 2010. Yes, the AFL doesn’t get to double up on “block busters”, but what it loses in short term box office revenue, it...

    Was that the worst loss in history?

    As far as margins are concerned, here are the 3 bigger losses: 1. 190 Points Fitzroy def Melbourne 1979: Fitzroy finished 4th 2. 186 Points Geelong def Melbourne 2011: Geelong Premiers 3. 178 Points Collingwood def StKilda 1979: Collingwood finish 3rd on the ladder and are grand finalists...

    The myth of the “good list”

    “Essendon* have a good list, but are under performing” *right now it’s about Essendon but it’s a regularly used expression, usually used to bash a coach. As is the opposite, “over perform with an average list”. What does this even mean? “Good” according to who? What it means is, the media...

    Poo Mega Thread Sydney Swans should be penalised for that administrative farce.

    They knew this would happen, they encouraged it, people could have been killed. Disgraceful, I am ashamed of my club. What standard are we setting for my daughter who I have told that we live in a stable democracy, where the rules based order reigns? Anarchy is fine apparently now. I am crying.

    Rumour Just saw Tom Harley, McVeigh having a coffee with Cripps

    No other Carlton players or coaches around. Luke Parker was also there. Was going to sneak a photo but felt too embarrassed. Cripps to Sydney?? Makes sense, replace an ageing Kennedy.

    {insert coach} how long left?

    Is it time for a change of direction?

    Alastair Clarkson: How long?

    “Death, taxes, and Alastair Clarkson not believing in rebuilds” This was the live on air analysis after the Hawks suffered their 4th loss on the trot, this week to the worst Swans team to take the park in 15 years, if not since 1993. Average player age a generation apart. No one can deny the...

    The grand final sprint

    Get rid of this nonsense. Grown men dressed in jerseys? Grow up. It’s cringe inducing stuff. Let the band play.

    Rumour Internal investigation into Sydney for tanking allegations

    Hearing there have been some “please explains” sent to Sydney for a series of odd behaviour by senior players in games. Examples include 50m penalty against Dane Rampe with 1 minute to go when he went over the mark by around 2 metres, another obvious one was the post climb. Incredibly serious...

    The Northern Kangaroos vs Friday night

    They have their fetishised Friday night, against a tired and well and truely cooked Hawthorn: the eyes of Australia will be watching (other all of us who will be watching the ashes). Will north rise to the occasion and show that they are truely deserving of the Friday night clash, or will we...

    Rumour Oliver to Sydney

    Hearing it from a good source (check my posting history, 100% record) that Clayton Oliver is looking like moving to the Swans on around $1m a year. Makes sense, Hannebery off the books. Heard it hear first or second.

    Low IQ individuals.

    Booing is typically used to show displeasure at a performance. If you are using the low "booing" noise (typically holding the "oo") to show displeasure at the personal characteristics or previous actions of a person who is performing well, you are revealing yourself to be a low IQ individual...

    Rumour Scott Morrison sends Gil McLachlan “please explain” after Gil calls Morrison’s daughter overweight.

    Hearing from a very good source from Canberra (tipped me off about the Au Pairs and George Christensen Philippines months before they broke) that the PM has sent AFL CEO Gillon McLaughlan a “please explain” and asked for an apology for making a joke about the weight of one of Scott Morrison’s...

    Gil McLachlan - openly cheering for teams. Acceptable?

    Late in the final quarter of the bulldogs game with the game on the line, the bulldogs kicked a goal to seal the game. The camera went to a shot of the AFL’s CEO celebrating and high fiving bulldogs fans. Is this really appropriate for the CEO to be seen publically barricking for a team...

    Rumour Martin heading "North of the border"

    I don't say this lightly and I rarely post in here (the last time I posted on this board was Buddy to sydney and no one believed me). I've now heard it from 3 sources that Martin is heading to Sydney. The whole deal relies on the Swans offloading Tippett (Carlton the front runners) and...

    Rumour Hurley has lunch with McVeigh and Tom Harley.

    The three were seen at a Melbourne cafe - obviously there are a lot of teams interested in him so he's probably having chats with lots of teams, but obviously with Richards in his 30s the Swans are looking to strengthen down back.

    Boekhurst - Sanction for Staging?

    Im struggling to get a read on this little used rule. Today in the Swans / Carlton game there was one of the worst I've seen. Clearly tackled round the chest Boekhurst threw his head back and fell to the ground, received a free kick and got to his feet with a rye smile - vision a few posts...

    Why is it 4 points for a win, 2 points for a draw not 2 and 1?

    Have tried to search but struggle with the key words. Have always wondered why the AFL ladder gives 4 points for a win and 2 for a draw when it would have exactly the same effect to award 2 for a win and 1 for a draw? I assume something changed at some point?

    Rumour Lewis Jetta gone from Swans at years end

    A lot probably won't care but apparently what his manger is asking and what the Swans are offering are worlds apart. Expect him to be gone.

    Who would you rather be: Carlton or Essendon?

    In general I find the "would you rather **** your mum or eat shit every day" hypotheticals juvenile and banal, but hell, this is the bay. So here it is: Would you rather be A. Essendon - about to have WADA ban most of their 22 while sponsors and members desert them and possibly players...

    Hawks using Mental Disintegration as an excuse.

    Just watched the coaches post match and I see an angry, angry Clarko spend 7 minutes talking about how they would have won if they had kicked straight and not fumbled the ball. News flash hawks - being too mentally weak to stand up to a little physical pressure is not an excuse for losing. If...

    Hawthorn = Geelong

    Both in a very similar place right now, if you know just what I mean.

    Most boring weekend of finals football ever?

    What a shit weekend of football, results predetermined. Combined winning total will most likely be 120 points + Full expecting both swans and hawks to get off to 50 point leads by half time then just hit cruise control. The game is becoming a farce.

    Think Tank Serious Question - Wedding on GF day.

    Need Bay's advice. Friends of ours are having their wedding at 3pm on Grand Final day. Yes typical sydneysiders etc. Great couple, like them a lot, but know them through my partner. Have to RSVP. They don't watch/understand sport so even if swans make the grand final the excuse isn't great...

    Nick Malceski - on the move.

    Heard Swan's rebounding halfback is on the move. He was eligible for free agency last year but only signed a 1 year deal so is eligible once again. Whispers are he's going to the demons. Contract negotiations are on hold - ie. most likely gone. Had a good season so far too, great kick and...
