    Booking Fee - Question for SA Fans

    I have to correct some posts I made that suggest that you could avoid this charge by buying on Sunday. Do you realise that you will be charged the BASS booking fee of $2.75 even if you don't book? Apparently BASS is ****ed off with a certain radio show that is still saying that there is no...

    Carlton's "Youth" Policy

    "We have a young list, and it is important that these young players develop within the culture of the Carlton Football Club" says Blues chief executive Michael Malouf, explaining why Carlton are ditching the diligent Bullants. This is the type of typical bull**** that always tickles me...

    Jacko's Ten memorable Moments...

    Well when I saw the headline on AFL.com "Jako's 10 memorable moments, I thought it was about our dearly soon to be departed Jackson, not Jakovich. Anyway it got me thinking about what I would call the 10 most memorable issues Jackson has had to deal with. Varying degrees of difficulty and...

    Did the Cheersquad Get the Flag Back?

    Given that I would have thought you shoved it up the yellow coated weasel's back passage perhaps it's better if you did not get it back. Same for his remarkably black and white -less hangers on. AS for the character who was yelling "Tarrant I love you, I was here 3 weeks ago, you can do...

    Remember this.

    Power play: like it or lump it By Dwayne Russell May 25 2003 Port Adelaide's players are not asking people to like them. They might even prefer it if you don't - especially if you are among those who whinged about Peter Burgoyne's copybook old-fashioned bump that forced Mark Mercuri from...

    Are the Showers Golden at West Lakes?

    Well we all know that crow crowds have been accused of some truly awful behaviour - from bottle throwing to spitting- but the accusation by the Collingwood Football Club that two of their officials were showered with urine is beyond belief. Lets not allow the fact that they were Collingwood...

    Who Goes There?

    Well last night we happened to go to the footy (AFL that is)without taking the munchkins for a change which meant an opportunity to get back to the Club after the game, something that used to be a ritual every week. I was surprised that after a breakthrough win there seemed to be a reasonably...

    What does "played AFL" mean?

    Just a couple of quick questions for you posters whose opinion I value highly. If someone says the "played AFL" is that the same as saying they played "footy"? Or is "played AFL" a category that should be reserved for the elite and professional? That might be an obvious one. The second is...

    Latin Mottos. Any scholars out there?

    Well I was surprised to read that Adelaide have one of those Latin mottos that I think are very good for building tradition. Well it's a start anyway. It was: Natus Ad Magna Gerenda I also know about Floreat Pica and Mens Sana In Corpore Sano But have any other clubs got ancient...

    Would You Wear Your Colours if Your Team Wasn't Playing?

    Well last night once again we have the odd Crow supporter who dresses up in Crow gear, sits near the Port fans, and barracks for Brisbane. I thought this was especially courageous considering how the Crows went today. He was reminded of this during the breaks and he became quite agitated...

    The Melee That Never Was

    Well Andrew, was it or wasn't it? “I always hear calls for melees to go after there’s been a melee, but there wasn’t a report laid on the weekend because the melee only went for about ten seconds according to Rick and that wasn’t long enough for what he would determine as a melee"...

    Saints Paint Balls

    Well I always said the Saints revolving captain policy was strange but their ball sponsorship deal takes the cake. The Saints have revealed that sponsor British Paints will provide the Club with different coloured balls for each home game. League commercial operations chief Ben Buckley...

    Questions re AFL contract negotiations

    I would like to get a couple of comments from some of the more informed bigfooty experts regarding a few contract negotations the AFL has got into. First I suppose there is the MCC/MCG 40 year contract. AS I understand it, the AFL is commited to spending 5 million for 32 years on the ground...

    Woah! Woah!

    Stop that over-priced has-been! Well I heard that some Melbourne supporters weren't that fussed about losing Woewodin, but maybe they were in the minority. Anyway, he looked pretty handy last night especially working with Buckley. Just goes to show, manage that salary cap or other teams...

    Basketballers and Soccer Players...

    Is Hunger Just a Gut Feeling?

    Anybody hungry? It seem that regularly during some discussion about who’s going to do better next year the subject of “hunger” is raised. Theory being, I suppose, that disappointment at coming close and failing is some incentive. Then again, there’s the other argument. Finals failure...

    Legalised Scalpers Keeping Fans Away

    How do people here view Jackson’s statement that 1) ticketing charges are too high and 2) they are unfair on fans and 3) they are pricing some fans out of the game 4) have the potential to impact on attendances 5) ) the AFL will bring pressure to bear on the ticketing agencies to reduce these...

    Choco Gets Life

    Advantages in Getting out of Adelaide

    Well as we all know Williams copped a severe thrashing with a soggy slice of pineapple when Wayne Jackson said that some coaches from the southern states whose team lost were precious about travelling 50k from the CBD. Interestingly, at the same press conference, Matthews said "Collingwood...

    Shock! Gotch prevented from running

    Well malthouse is upset that Gotch can't run for collingwood because he is part of their coaching staff, but of course, there appear to be different rules for Brisbane. Is the same Bradley Gotch who played for Port. If so, what prevented him running when he was playing for us? Ah...

    Mead - my personal reflections

    Well I know there are threads already on this but I wanted to post some of my own comments. Excuse the self indulgence... Well Mead went out this year the way he had come in – with inspiring dignity and team focus. And also in and out of the side and dropped in ways that would have had...

    AAMI Stuff up ticket booths

    Well the crowd was a record for a Port finals win so well done to all who attended. It was history in the making and nothing .... nothing at all in the world, is better than sharing a drink with fellow supporters you have stood next to through thick and thin for 25 years. A special time. Maybe...

    Wanganeen report

    Well I hope this is clarified by the time I get the paper tomorrow and someone has written that it is some sort of mistake. Apparently there is "no vision" of the incident according to one news source while another showed a collision at 6:30 min remaining of the 2nd term, where Wanganeen is...

    Where the f*ck is the money going

    " Collectively, the 16 clubs will lose more than $5 million, with the greatest financial pain being felt in Victoria, where the Kangaroos, Western Bulldogs and St Kilda will record losses totalling at least $4.2 million". It staggers me that a game with so many passionate supporters can...

    Showdown just an important game

    Well one would think that with the teams heading for a true showdown – a final one week, maybe even an elimination final the next – that showdown 12 would be written up for what it is – another football game. However the hype continues. The exaggerated enthusiasm about this game crosses over...
