    AE 2004 NFL Tipping Week 12

    Didn't see the thread, and since we have an early start to the round with the Thanksgiving double-header on Friday morning (both games on Fox Sports 1, from 4:30 a.m. our time), I thought I'd start the thread. Naked Dead Guy will undoubtedly have an update in the Week 11 tipping results, but...

    5 - Gary Ablett Jr. (best all over) 4 - Paul Chapman 3 - Joel Corey 2 - Matthew Scarlett 1 - Kent Kingsley A lot of honourable mentions, such as to the Johnsons (both Steve and David), David Wojcinski, James Bartel, Tom Harley, Ben Graham, and countless others.

    Round 17, Geelong v Carlton

    Sunday, at Telstra Dome, 2 p.m. on Fox Footy (Active). On the heels of avenging one loss from earlier in the season against Sydney, the Cats have a chance to repeat the feat against Carlton after the Blues beat us in Round 2 at Optus Oval by 54 points. A lot has changed since then, with...

    Votes vs. Sydney, Rd. 16

    Might as well get this started... 5 - Matthew Scarlett (kept Barry Hall in check) 4 - Cameron Ling (a calming influence with his possessions) 3 - Steve Johnson (key goals in the third term) 2 - Brenton Sanderson (a rock in the back) 1 - Gary Ablett Jr. (what a clutch goal at three-quarter...

    Round 16: Geelong v Sydney

    Sunday at Skilled Stadium, on the heels of the great win over Collingwood comes another strong challenge from a finals contender in the Sydney Swans. We're unbeaten in Geelong, and four of our final seven games are at Skilled. Great for the run home... as long as a win over the Swans sets...

    Sam Newman to Benny: "Kick it long!!"

    Finally, the truth comes out! :D I know Sammy's been harping on this on "The Footy Show" and on Triple M from time to time, but I, too, would love to see Ben Graham kick the ball long towards the big sticks-- kind of like a "shoot on sight" policy-- whenever he has the chance to do so. To...

    Brian Cook on "White Line Fever"

    On Thursday night's edition of "White Line Fever" on Fox Footy at 7:30 p.m., Geelong CEO Brian Cook will be Clinton Grybas' guest (I think in the first guest segment). Post comments, thoughts, etc., of what happens here...

    Votes vs. the Bulldogs

    Let's get this post-game party underway! :) 5 - Gary Ablett Jr. 4 - Cameron Mooney 3 - Matthew Scarlett 2 - Paul Chapman 1 - James Bartel Earlier in the season, some of us couldn't justify finding five players to give votes to. Now, and lately, it's hard to limit the accolades to...

    Round 11: Geelong v Western Bulldogs

    At Telstra Dome this Sunday, 2 pm (with the TV being Nine's delayed game at 4 pm). Time to bounce back from last weekend's heartbreaking loss away to Port Adelaide with a game against a team whose two wins against us last year belied its low standing on the ladder in 2003. Post your...

    Matthew Scarlett feature in the Herald-Sun

    Damned good feature, albeit a long one, by Mike Sheahan in Saturday's Herald Sun. Discusses Matthew's rise to prominence as a fixture in Geelong's squad, and his evolution as one of the premier AFL footballers. It's a long article, but definitely worth a read. Matty Scarlett - last man...

    Thompson's future: article in The Age

    Thought this would be good for a stand-alone thread, as opposed to lumping it in with the other articles for the pre-game round-up... The Age's Martin Blake has written a good feature on Geelong coach Mark Thompson, in which he looks at Thompson's current standing as a coach at the club...

    Super Bowl XXXVIII -- your picks

    To be played next Monday here, with both ESPN and SBS (I think) providing live coverage from 10 a.m., or thereabouts. Who do you like to win, and why? I like the Patriots to win their second Super Bowl in three years. All Tom Brady does is know how to win, and I think more and more people...

    LeBron: What's the verdict?

    OK, I admit that I made a mistake on another thread, but perhaps with about half the NBA season gone, a look at LeBron James' rookie season might well be in order... What I said, albeit mistakenly, on the Baron Davis thread, was this... I think there are elements in what I had said...

    Falcons sack Reeves

    Posted this on the Michael Vick thread, but felt the news deserved a thread of its own... a little bit shocking, really. Thought the owner of the team would let him see the season out, at the very least. Did he jump, or was he pushed? You decide... Reeves beats owner to the punch...

    Lakers v Spurs (29/11)

    That's ESPN's game today, live from the Staples Center in L.A. at 2:30 p.m. in the eastern states. Should be a good one... matchups this early on don't get much better than the Lakers and Spurs.

    NBA Broadcast

    As promised, thought I'd compile a list of the NBA games available to us here in Australia, via ESPN. Just did a search via ESPN International's site, for the Pacific Rim region, and it only gives me a list of games until the end of the year (couple months at a time, I think). In any event...

    Mark Blake coming to Geelong - official

    Not everyone's happy with Thompson's new contract...

    Teenage girl refused right to play

    Front-page news in last Saturday's Ballarat Courier (would have posted it sooner, but I have been swamped with my other duties), but my colleague at the paper, Alana Davison, has uncovered some news that seems pertinent in light of the fact that a trio of teenage girls were refused their right...

    Blake to have a go at the big time...

    ...in the VFL. Which is an interesting step, yet the most logical one, considering that he plays for the Geelong Falcons now, and would appear to be a sure thing to be as a father-son pick by the GFC in the next draft. Article in today's Geelong Advertiser...
