This is a tribute thread to BringouttheGimp who tragically left us on February 2023 (24.02.2023). It is a best of Gimp thread, but also contains more serious posts which add insight into Gimp's background and life. The Gimp was a private person, an enigma who invented an online persona...
Cox became an Australian citizen today and wants to spend the rest of his life here. Congratulations to the gentle giant on making the AFL big time after taking up the game so late in life. He has been a great American ambassador and a much loved representative of the club. I hope last weeks...

Everyone is missing your style, flair and humour. You help define the ambience and feel of the forum. Life here will be dull without you.
The finals are about to begin. Who knows, we might even get to the grand final. :carlton:

As announced on Channel 9 news. So as predicted, yet another key Collingwood player is on the major injury list. Shoulder surgery from a knock at training. Who is next?
Why not? All the good players have been claimed as well as several of the not so good players. Blair is still on the list and the forum is already clogged with unwanted player claim threads. Why not one more for the little bloke, the premiership champ who just keeps on keeping on as he is...
Just announced on Ch 7 news that there is a lot of speculation that Fasolo is heading back to WA. Is he contracted or will we get bugger all for him? Do you think the rumour has any substance? Will he be a loss or can we easily cover his loss?
Good Friday again. No football. The Royal Children's Hospital appeal. Fish. Maybe take in a movie. Wishing I lived down Swan St so I could see the boys train.
As with every year, I float my innovative football fixture idea. On Good Friday we schedule the first of a double header - the...

An article in the Age today about how Scarlett reckons Maxwell is totally overrated and so did all Geelong players: http://www.theage.com.au/afl/afl-news/maxwell-overrated-scarlo-20130724-2qjy3.html The Maxwell haters will love this!!
Footy Classified led by discussing Collingwood's blown-out losses, following up Pendlebury's account of players running forward of the footy, leaving too few extracting the contested ball. Lloyd claims that opposition clubs believe that all they have to do is hang in with Collingwood, then hurt...
Another series of inflammatory remarks from Shae claiming he was promised the ruck-forward spot but was then played in defence, putting Dawes in a no win situation. This is an excerpt from an article from today's News.com.au:
"Bucks (coach Nathan Buckley) re-signed me to play forward-ruck and...

I have been in correspondence with a Carlton moderator and BF admin regarding a punishment I received for posting in a 'Carlton only' thread on the carlton board regarding Judd's chicken wing incident. At the time, Carlton posters had been busy on our board abusing Wellingham for his hit on...
You have closed the thread in which I explained how I have had the Carlton board blacked out. I took admins' advice and have requested Aphrodite who appears to be a Carlton mod to restore my access to the board. Despite two messages I have not received a reply which I think is pretty poor form...
I have not seen this mentioned. This morning's Age claims that a deputation of senior players came to Bucks after our early losses and demanded that Collingwood revert to the defensive principles of Mick Malthouse. Buckley denies this occured but The Age claims to have been told of the claim by...

I am assuming that as Maxwell did not even train last week that he will not be ready for next week.

Shae McNamara played in the VFL in 2010 and was surprisingly re-signed after being delisted for 2012. I am happy for him to remain on the list because...
Dawes didn't get to play yesterday but has to be the best short and long term answer to our 2nd power forward problem. Brown played a pretty good game tonight but is not really a CPF. I think he was in the side for tactical reasons i.e. Lake and Dawes will return against Melbourne.
As TD...

Nathan Brown will not be his opponent. Presti cannot go with him. Leigh Brown would look like a tree against him. Maxwell would be wasted on him. O'Brien cannot go in the air with him. Goldsack doesn't have the height either.
I suggest we bring Reid in to play on him. Reid has the pace and...
Just a thought. Mitch Brown has just got the rising star nomination after his best game for WC, collecting 22 possessions. Is he a better player than Nathan? He was taken about 9 places below him, but seems a bit more more flamboyant and maybe more versatile than Nathan. Meanwhile, Nathan has...
