Has criticizing Adam Goodes suddenly become un-Australian?
That's the impression I get after reading these articles! http://www.theage.com.au/afl/afl-news/bombers-fans-boo-boo-20140520-zrj2t.html Moderator note: Monkey/ape references (regardless of any intended humour) will be met with infractions. You have been warned. It's been done. Let it go. -
A Day in the Life of Steve Johnson
6:30 Woke up. Immediately checked the doona coz I swear the missus has been hogging it again lately. Sure enough, at least 55% of it on her side. Might have to go all Chappy on her later tonight so the bitch learns her lesson. 6:35 Had a shower and a shit. Really nice log too, not the usual... -
Paul Little bitching nobody will give him "closure"
http://www.afl.com.au/news/2014-05-16/little-calls-for-closure- I find it funny that this despicable filthy cheating club should feel it is in a position to demand anything of anyone, but that wouldn't be a thought that's occurred to Paul Little - who anyone familiar with his history would know... -
Essendon you filthy cheats, your time is fast approaching.
http://www.theage.com.au/afl/afl-news/dday-looming-for-up-to-40-bombers-20140511-383xn.html I will laugh my **** off if 40 Essenjection players get rubbed out for 2 years. Heck I'd settle for just Jab Watscum but the more the merrier. This is going to turn their club into absolute graveyard... -
Meltdown Does anyone else find Port Adelaide's VERY sudden rise slightly suspicious?
I love a good conspiracy and am no stranger to criticism, yet its with some reluctance that I get around to creating this thread. I say get around to because the idea behind it's been rattling around inside my skull for awhile and now's about the perfect time to let it loose since any delay and... -
Hey $ydney flogs, ever wonder why we hate you? Wonder no more
Folks its become blindingly obvious that despite copious abounding evidence most Sydney fans remain largely clueless (I could end this sentence right here) as to why their franchise's become football's undisputed #2 Most Hated after Essendon.* With this in mind I've elected to generously donate... -
Shonky shit goin' down at the Bears?
http://www.theage.com.au/afl/afl-news/lions-chief-malcolm-holmes-resigns-20140508-zr6xy.html So yeah apparently Brissy's CEO is kaput. Big deal right? I thought so too, after all we've known for years what a basketcase the club's become so watching another rat leaving the ship barely qualifies... -
Damien Hardwick "confident of playing finals"
Think I need Ryan Crowley to pinch me 'cause I must be dreaming. http://www.theage.com.au/afl/afl-news/richmond-coach-damien-hardwick-still-confident-of-finals-action-20140506-zr5b1.html -
Crawf asks the question "do Richmond have any ticker?"

Victorians, for your consideration.
Dear fellow Victorians, As you already know, here at Bay13 we are a deeply intellectual and highly philosophical group. Our conversations are rarely driven by the day's immediate events but more commonly by a collective urge to explore the frontiers of our own subconscious realms as we strive... -
Welcome to Gillon's island!
Just sit right back and you'll hear a tale, A tale of a fateful trip That started from a Docklands office, Aboard this tiny ship. The mate was a mighty swanky man, The skipper fat and sure, Five passengers set sail that day For a three hour tour, a three hour tour. The weather started... -
Richmond have the wood over Hawthorn? MYTH BUSTED.
How the hell did we ever manage to lose twice to that shithouse team in the first place?? Sadly for Richmond supporters, now that their little "micro streak" has disappeared they now have NOTHING to brag about since 1980 - Trent Cockchin sharing the Brownlow with Sam Mitchell aside. In light... -
Interesting Rioli article
http://www.theage.com.au/afl/afl-news/cyril-rioli--underachiever-20140425-zqza4.html Can't say I'm a fan of the author but its hard to disagree with the points he makes. It's pretty obvious he's suggesting Rioli hasn't underachieved due to his hamstring woes, but rather due to a work ethic that... -
According to Little, Essendon "regrets" Self-Reporting to the AFL
http://www.theage.com.au/afl/afl-news/little-regrets-over-dons-scandal-20140425-37a0b.html Like a murderer who regrets turning himself in 'cause in hindsight he wonders if he could've got away with it? What the hell is it with this filthy cheating club and the systemic refusal of anyone... -
We can safely say that's the last Brownlow Jab Watscum will ever win*
How on earth did this slow plodder ever manage to win* one in the first place? Oh that's right, AOD-9604. His endurance has really fallen off a cliff since he was on the good stuff. Looks like half the player he was right now, still handy but by no means a matchwinner. Could be his trademark... -
Even Bomber Thompson thinks Jake Carlisle is a useless spud

Goo The definitive list of Will Langford's 2014 Bitches
Watson Mundy Ablett Selwood His effort on Ablett was probably his least amazing thus far though he restricted Gazza from having any real influence over the contest. His effort today in keeping Duckwood out of the game was superb. All without MaCaffer/Crowley style infringing too, just good... -
Fewest number of players your team could beat Richmond with?
In much the same way Tyrone Vickery probably isn't playing with a full deck, its doubtful most top 8 sides would need a full compliment of players to overcome Richmond. Let's take a look at the team they put on the park against Brisbane: To use Hawthorn as an example, Jack Riewoldt is... -
Medium Rare or Well Done? Grading AFL players who are cooked.
Do we have any culinary experts among us? If so I'd love to get your thoughts on which AFL players have been in the oven too long, which ones deserve to be put back on the shelf, and those who are clearly half-baked. Despite being a woeful cook myself I'll happily share some of my tips... -
Filth-ridden scumbags Essendon "poach" Brisbane list manager to head footy department
Bombers have 'poached' Rob Kerr (brother of Wayne) from Brisbane in a move that demonstrates just how desperate they are to find anyone willing to work with Bomber or Hird who smells vaguely of competence. What's funny is how the article makes a point of mentioning the club's "new focus on... -
AFL to formally introduce Charity to the Fixture!
http://www.theage.com.au/afl/afl-news/blues-in-disarray-after-shock-loss-20140412-36k62.html#ixzz2yiabTDGT Interesting. The team that's become a basketcase vs the club famous for having its snout buried in the AFL trough - I disagree with the wording of the article, the Good Friday Appeal... -
Backfire Hey Handbagger filth! Stock up on kleenex and prepare your excuses.
10 lazy days until we tear your overrated, umpire-assisted team several new orifices. As the pain of last year's prelim comes flooding back our laughter will grow at your pitiful club's fading battle to stay relevant without its precious streak. Never has a club been so defined by the caliber... -
Richmond vs Collingwood: Tonight we dine on Failure!
The anticipation is building as two supposedly "big 4" clubs lock horns tonight in a contest likely to be riddled with as many turnovers and unforced errors as the resulting amount of tears for the loser. Not to put too fine a point on it but both teams are by their own supporters' admissions... -
Extrapolating the good brother/shit brother phenomenon.
Someone recently used the good brother/shit brother analogy (typically used to compare Brad Hill to his inferior sibling Stephen) to describe interstate teams and it got me thinking that we may be witnessing the continuation of a strange phenomenon in football. Namely, that in any given state... -

At last a media "expert" has the guts to call Hirdy out for being a selfish prick
Take my advice fellas - read this article. Though lengthy its one of the best I've read concerning the Peptides saga so far. http://www.theroar.com.au/2014/03/28/essendon-weak-but-james-hird-should-have-the-guts-to-walk/ -
Current and Former Players who would be Essendon's #1 Forward.
Watching Carlisle & Daniher doing their best to impersonate a couple of key forwards last night put the thought into my head "Essendon will be torn apart by ASADA pretty soon so they'll be shopping around a team in the minor leagues, are there any blokes out there they could use as a makeshift... -
The impact of tall forwards
Something interesting I noted from tonight's game was that when Essendon went small after Ryder went off to force Daniher into the ruck their attack seemed more potent. No doubt this was partly due to their mids getting more of the ball in the third quarter and Daniher not being a terribly... -
