Just watched On the Mark with Cris Fagan and he told how he is getting his head shaved on 6 October with Jarrod Berry to raise money for breast cancer research - his mother died of it 5 years ago
It is something that I feel we should support. The go fund me page is
I am no good with this...
Last year we had one of these threads. I am not trying to start a s***fight, I just thought this deserved it's own thread. A very good article, IMO, on an important issue for the women's game

After last night, I hope Brownie has a press conference this week to announce his immediate retirement. Enough is enough.
There is too much we do not know about head injuries,& their long term impact -but more & more research is showing scary facts. His family needs him fit & well long term...
OK, after the last 6 months this is the most important AGM in memory. As one that paid to upgrade my membership so I could have my say, I still want to be heard.
I cannot be there in person, so how do I give my proxy to someone that will be, and what issues are to be voted on-
1. the...
The reason why we cannot get our allocation of Melbourne games is because we are one of the clubs shuffled round the country - Tassie, Darwin etc. It is always the out of Victoria clubs that get this. Never do you see 2 Melbourne teams playing these venues.
Why? Are the other clubhs peeved...
Read this, and then be thankful for what we have.

I hope the AFL give them every possible help, because IMO this is something that we can truly help in a place of great tragedy.
Yo chaps, first time on this thread. I have always disliked it when a player takes a good pack mark, but because 1 of his team mates gets a push or something, the ball is taken off of him. Only a small thing, but IMO why not pay advantage & give it to the bloke showcasing one of the highlights...
Any one else see this?
About bloody time.
For years this has been a topic of discussion among supporters, and a move that was sorely, and obviously needed. We have heard a myriad of excuses why it could not be done, but it seems is all that was needed was the coach to call for it.

Now on the LTI list, & Billy Longer is in print as saying that Bergs reckoned it was"" ïnevitable" So it obviously was NOT manageable.
Methinx,purely from my uninformed perspective, our medical/fitness staff have blown it, again. If he had preseason issues he should have been cottonwooled till...
could not find anywhere to fit this:
Did anyone see Marngrook tonite? Terry Daniher said that when he left South Melbourne, he was going to Fitzroy - but Essendon came in at the last minute with a contract offer! If he had been a Lion, the rest would have followed, surely.
Does anyone know...

Late in the 1986 season, I recall standing on the Wesley College tennis courts the day Fitzroy president Leon Wiegard gathered the players together after a recovery session. He bluntly said the Lions had three options: fold, merge with a...
This weekend, with it's focus on indigenous footballers, has brought to a head a thought I have had for a while - why are we so far behind the pack in this field? 11% of lists are indigenous. The only one we have is Ash McG. To build the perfect team you need 2 or 3 indigenous players, with...

Remember the first year of ABC2? 11pm? Damn near every night of the week you get real football. Over the summer, from Darwin the NTFL gave the fix. How can we gat this back?
