The Goatmaster has information on an impending balls up with the MCG redevelpoment costs.
The construction budget will be exceeded by at least $20 million on their allowance ( It will be more like 50 in the end IMHO). The tenders close next week. This will be interesting to see what happens in...
n't know whether this story got a run in the Sydney & Melbourne papers but in the
Sunday mail(Brisbane here they had an article about "Pom Busters 2 " . The story
ran a line of if the Aussie cricket team got a dose of severe food
poisoning the night before the next test & the entire squad(all...
Well last night was fun . Not!!
I actually ended up at the Essendonians dinner before the game & was almost thrown out for abusing the d!ckhead for his smart remarks about Hawthorn's lack of support. Then when trying to get outside to watch the game was almost thrown out again.
One wonderful...
The Goatmaster is on his way to Melbourne.
I am looking forward to the game on Saturday night especially sitting among the Essendon supporters.
35,000 Essendon supporters vs the Goatmaster - sounds like even odds to me!!
Look for the loud, fat hairy Bikie type in Hawthorn gear in the...
The AFL today announced aradical new plan to eliminate collisions between players & umpires.
"In view of the reckless acts of certain players it has been decided we will draw a line 5m wide down the centre corridor which no player will be able to enter this will be an umpire transit lane. The...
Well my boy is doing well isn't he. The great Goatmaster predicted great things for this one & I am happy to be finally right(it happens every couple of years or so). His centre bounce work has been telling & to do as he did on swaturday & turn around what was a dangerous run on was great.
Good...
Can you guys tell me whose son he is? You had a few of the buggers.
If he is Ray's son christ a couple of times today all he needed was the mo & it was Ray.
Inherited that waddle for a run too.
Well we were very lucky to win the match today. We had 2 good patches early 2nd 1/4 & late 3rd but were beaten the rest of the day.
Definately need to get some more midfielders in (Vanders, Johno, Piccioane) if we are to beat Carlton. Collingwood killed us in tight today & we almost never...
O.K here we go less than 1 week out from the start.
Time then to pick your team for the Pies game
To lead off I will go with
Mccabe Hay Rawlings
Tallis Croad Smith
Lekkas Chick Harford
Crawford Holland Barker
Dixon Thompson...
If I had a gun & shot whoever is the programing director for 7 in Queensland??
Having been away all week in Perth(630p.m telecast last night). I looked at the T.V guide & the AFL site telecast times & saw 1145. Because I left Perth at 445a.m yesterday I thought I'll have a sleep & get up about...
O.K I didn't see any of last nights game. Were Hawthorn so bad or Freo so good?
I do actually think the Dockers are a bit underrated by a lot of people.
The 2 Goals deep into the last 1/4 must be a concern particularly off kicking 3 goals for the 1st 1/2 last week. Obviously Macpharlin found...
Nice start on Sunday,
Almost the perfect weekend with Essendon & West Coast getting hammered too.
When you think we have Rehn, Chick, Bowyer, Piccioane & Barlow to come back we had a few out as well as the Tiges.
Great too see good games from Macpharlin (getting Gaspar shifted is a good rap)...
What do we think of David Parkins return to Hawthorn? I think it is fantastic.
I think that he will be of great value in a 'non front' role.
I actually wonder whether his lower match day role this year wasn't a big reason for the improvement by Carlton this year. the thing we will all remember...
What ideas do the people here have for improving the game (Dan24 banned from his Minor premiership theory).
The ones I would like to see are-
Advantage Rule- Umpire should raise his hand when he sees an infringement & not blow his whistle until he decides no advantage is there. This would mean...
Anyone seen the article on Barry Young in Inside Footy- what a clown.
He lacked a passion for Hawthorn & felt that he deserved to be in the Essendon premiership team- the team that rated him so highly they flicked him. The way the pratt played all year what makes the fool think he would have got...
Does the latest accusation condem or save Mark Waugh? The cricket board will now be reluctant to see him dropped if they don't stand him down themselves as the "smoke & fire" argument will get worse.
Imho he should be dropped on form but now to drop him looks like an admission of guilt.
It...
A topic for discussion- Should we admit teh Cricket academy to the shield/milk glass whatever its called now & one day comps?
The reason I think this should be considered is the age our players are making it into 1st class & test cricket. Selectors are so conservative that young players do not...
We have had the usual fiasco this year with true supporters of the clubs being left out in the cold for the corporates. I think no-one actually agrees with this but the solutions are hard to find if you don't ignore money. After much thought about this here is a possible solution-
