Some truly terrible performances this round from teams with everything on the line.
Whose performance was worse?
Essendon with their finals chances on the line not only losing but getting pumped so hard they shed any chance of making finals next week against an injury riddled Collingwood side...

Former Labor leader Simon Crean has died suddenly, aged 74, while travelling in Germany.
It looks like 13 will be the lucky number to guarantee finals this year.
Fremantle need to win 1 game out of their remaining 3
Carlton need to win 1 game out of their remaining 3
St Kilda need to win 2 games out of their remaining 3
Western Bulldogs need to win 3 games out of their remaining 3...
Well 2021 had to twist the knife on it's way out taking television icon Betty White with it just 3 weeks from her 100 birthday.
A true icon of the small screen I think every generation grew up with one of her great performances whether as as a series regular or as a guest star plus her...
With Daniel Craig bowing out who should be the actor to replace him as James Bond 007?
Rules:
Actor should be over 30 but under 45 (preferably under 40)
Actor must be from the British Isles (including Ireland) or the Commonwealth (Australia, Canada, South Africa, Singapore, India etc)
Any...
Now we've all seen the ridiculous situation of sides where half the team appear to be in the official leadership group. A obviously silly situation.
I think that leadership groups should be no more than 6.
Why 6? Because it allows ever "line" (Forwards, Midfielders, Backs) to have a leader and...
David King has to be one of the poorest media commentators in existence but when it comes to St Kilda there seems to be a real hate for the Club, he is resoundingly negative to the point of unprofessionalism (not that he comes across as professional in the first place) whenever the subject is St...
Xenophon is taking his bat and ball and going home to SA politics.
Guess he isn't confident in his High Court Case.

I'm going to produce my version with clash kit of each of the Nepean Football Netball Club Football Sides
I'll be doing each club as a separate post and will provide link to the club post in the OP.
If popular enough I'll expand the thread to include the Peninsula Football Netball League in the...
Congratulations to the Bulldogs on their win but can't help but think the footy gods have a lot of explaining to do.
Why not us in 2009/2010? Where was our fairy tale? Why do the footy gods seem so intent on twisting the knife?
Look at the beautiful grey jumpers on Richmond today, Saints fans better get used to that colour as Finnis has signed us up with BLK next year.
Off to an OK if inaccurate start, need to capitalise on our forward entries.

Just caught the first episode of Foxtel's new Miniseries that was partly filmed in Parliament House and I can think I can work out why they were allowed to film, it seems to be nothing more than a not so subtle hatchet job on Labor in the guise of a political thriller.
Anyone else seen it and...

Some very tardy thread making I know it's a fairly inconsequential game but seriously a quarter is already gone.
End of the first quarter St Kilda leading by 8.
NM: 2 - 1- 13
STK: 3 - 3 - 21
Should be a routine win for a Richmond side looking towards finals, but will the emotion of the day led to a St Kilda upset?

The first female Premier of Victoria was very polarising figure, to some tragic, to some pioneering, to some a fallperson, to some a nice lady, to some an incompetent fool, to some evil incarnate, to most a combination of some or all of the afore mentioned.

Trying to move some of the Whitlam discussion away from the Tribute thread to somewhere more appropriate.
So what were Whitlam's policy successes and failures? Did he leave the nation a better place than it was before him? Did he set us on the right path or on the path to ruin? Is his legacy...
I'm not quite sure there is a word for how wrong this seems, seriously giving businesses the vote.
Can anyone else see the potential major gaping obvious flaw in this?
I've been thinking about the potential St Kilda on field kits that we could wear into the future.
See below for my proposal, it should satisfy the AFL and provide a proper contrast when we are the away side. What are you thoughts both on my proposal and on what you think we should do?
St Kilda...
Clive Palmer currently giving a press conference attacking the AEC and it's processes.

Completely missing out that many things are done for practical reasons.
He's gone completely nuts.

Seems like a good start doesn't lock in too much money. Spends a little bit of money now to ensure that it will be easier to build when the funds are allocated for construction.
