Steely Dan have been my favourite band since I was in high school more than 30 years ago. I've had the privilege of seeing them 3 times, in Melbourne in 2007 and 2011, and in Springfield IL in 2014.
It therefore saddens me greatly that one half of one of the great songwriting duo's in my...
Finally, here is the voting thread for the GFC draft that was undertaken by thirteen of us through late December and January. Included with the final selected teams are games played, goals, and a brief description of the physical and playing attributes of those selected. Selectors who did...
My guess is the shit is about to hit the fan big time....

We've both won flags and been right up there for the last 6 years, and right when everyone is prepared to show us the door.....bammo, trade/free agency period nailed.
See you all at the top again next year contenders.
Hi all.
Congrats on the win on the weekend, as much as I hate to say it :p
I was wondering if any of you could help me out.
I just called the AFL to obtain a copy of the Footy record from Friday night's game, and they have sold out.
I thought i'd put the feelers out here and see if...
Well guys, we don't need to rehash the history of our clubs here, but let me say this, and I think you'll all agree, the winner of our game on Friday will win the flag.
You don't get flogged by 16 goals the week before the finals and win the premiership. Simple as that.
Am thinking about giving these a crack as the darts are killing my teeth, and their cost is killing my wallet.
Price wise they are cheaper than smokes, (and patches/gum), they don't have the carcenogens that are destroying several parts of my body, and I can still have the thing I find hardest...
Just read the Zimbots have their test status back and are going to play one off tests with the Bangas, Pakis and Kiwi's.
Is this a good or a bad thing?
Does anyone care anymore?
Just received word that Josip Skoko will be retiring when the season ends, to be announced this arvo.
Probably no real surprise, nevertheless, congrats on being a great servant of Aussie soccer :thumbsu:
This seems to be the common complaint about our drafting.
I put it out there that I think we've drafted four guys who fit the ethos of the club perfectly - hard working, good attitude, versatile, and good skills.
I think all four of them are capable of playing 200 games for the club, and they...
15th - 19th: 1st Test (Galle)
23th - 27th: 2nd Test (Colombo PSS)
1st - 5th: 3rd test (Pallekele)
9th: 1st ODI (Hambantota)
11th: 2nd ODI (Hambantota)
15th: 3rd ODI (Colombo RPS)
17th: 4th ODI (Colombo RPS)
19th: 5th ODI (Colombo RPS)
21st: Only T20I (Colombo RPS)
First test has started...
Hi all :)
I have a friend in Japan who is starting a footy team over there, to be called to Hiroshima Cranes.
I've been working on a few ideas myself, none of which i'm happy with, so I thought i'd throw it over to you guys and see what you can come up with.
Nothing in black/white...
I've played in a dozen or so sit and go's today and come fourth 7 times.
Not only have I not had a heap of luck but everyone else seems to be blowing it out of their ass left right and centre.
For example, two blokes were down to their last 40 bucks, and there were 5 of us left. One bloke was...
Went and saw him last night and he was ****ing phenominal.
He's 76 years old FFS! He limped out onto the stage, acted like a grumpy old man for the whole set, didn't say a word to the audience, and took about 5 minutes to warm up, but once he did, Jesus H Christ, what a musician!
Even amongst...
Just wanted to pop by and say thanks to all of the folk on this board who left positive messages for me before and after the game.
You guys get a bad rap on this site, but some of you aren't bad at all ;)
Saturday's result should only heat our already intense rivalry up just that little bit...
Hi all.
Just thought i'd put a thread up to see who is heading up and if any of our Sydney based supporters are heading out to the game?
I am aware at this point that apart from myself, fugsy, Ninty, Sim Dog and re cat are heading up there.
I'll be at the Red Oak beer cafe on Sat arvo prior...
IT's all done and dusted as far as Saints fans around here are concerned, just wondering if I could get a preview of the premiership poster.
And don't say it hasn't been done, I remember all too well you had one going around in GF week in 1997.
It's an oft overused term in footy these days, particularly among the media hype generators. It also seems that going by the threads i've been reading about some of the best players out there today (Chris Judd heading the list), that there aren't many if any champions going around right at the...
There's a lot of talk that Ken Hinkley will be in serious consideration for one of the Senior coaching positions that will be available at the end of this season.
Should it eventuate that he does move on to another club, I would like to see us sound out Dean Laidley if he doesn't snag one of...
The Aussie Ashes squad is as follows: R Ponting (c), M Clarke (vc), S Clark, B Haddin, N Hauritz, B Hilfenhaus, P Hughes, M Hussey, M Johnson, S Katich, B Lee, G Manou, A McDonald, M North, P Siddle, S Watson.
I hope theres not an official thread hiding on this board here somewhere.
All I can...
While looking for a couple of 70's clips of Peter Frampton, I came across this incredibly cool vid of him doing a cover of Soundgarden's 'Black Hole Sun'....

He even gets the talk box out at the end for old times sake!!!! :D
I have decided to retire effective immediately.
I've got a fair few things to deal with at the moment, and after being deducted 3 points for a team submission that was 45 minutes late, I will not be continuing as I no longer have the time, or the inclination, to be a part of the comp.
I will...
