Fine folk of Melbourne: I'm an expat living in seppo land, and I'll be traveling back home for a sadly brief visit this winter. Since I've been away for a while, I was hoping the good people of the GD board had some pointers. I'm all over the map for what I'm looking for - good bakeries, the...

In the history of the AFL/VFL there have only been two players to make 400 games over their careers, Tuck and Bartlett. Given that the 400 mark is the holy grail of longevity, it made me wonder how many other blokes have made it to the 400 mark in other high-level comps such as the SANFL and...

From the club website: http://www.geelongcats.com.au/news/2013-01-14/cats-mourn-loss-of-premiership-captain I don't suppose any of our more venerable posters have recollections of him on the field?

Good to see Kel get some love in the papers today: http://www.heraldsun.com.au/sport/afl/james-kelly-loves-spending-more-time-in-the-midfield/story-e6frf9jf-1226132689428 Reckon he might take out Carji this year, too.

This probably belongs in the pics and videos forum, but that is a pretty slow board. Thought footy fans might appreciate seeing some footage unearthed of John Coleman. Nothing too spectacular, just little bits and pieces cobbled together...

In light of the return to stellar form of Smithy last night and the pessimism that surrounded him at the conclusion of last season, I thought I'd put the feelers out and see what Cats' fans think of his impact on us going all the way this year. Obviously last year was tough for him and it...

As an Aussie expat, I go through the occasional bout of homesickness. I'll be making a trip home for the first time in seven years in July, and thought now might be a good time to get some recommendations about classic Aussie books to take home with me, or maybe some lesser known books that are...

Surprised to see this mess hasn't been mentioned yet. Anyone up there who is affected by this, or knows people who are? Pretty awful stuff from what I've seen. I saw the photos from Toowoomba and the floods were pretty incredible. Hope the toll isn't too high from that, although it seems like...

I've been looking without success for this awesome website I saw a while ago that has very recent aerial imagery of Australia. Most of the imagery is updated every month or so - it's sort of like Google Maps, except for Australia only. Does anything have a link to this site? It's driving me...

Moons reckons this could be our last chance for a while: http://www.heraldsun.com.au/sport/afl/last-hurrah-for-us-says-cat-cameron-mooney/story-e6frf9jf-1225828935821 For me it depends who sticks around at the end of the year, and who starts to get worn down and starts losing it. I can see...

Has anyone got this? I've been in the US for a few years now and can't remember anything like this being available when I was in Australia. Is it worth the $40 + postage to have it sent over here? Thought I'd see what people have to say about it before I throw my money on it. Cheers.

Why should anyone have to interfere with a fact of nature? I can't really understand the (possibly manufactured) furore with this story from Cairns. http://www.news.com.au/national/family-defends-not-saving-joey-from-snake/story-e6frfkvr-1225815081731 Sometimes I think folks aren't aware that...

Just read the Chappy article linked in another thread and saw this article featuring the Tomahawk. Might not be as interesting as the Chappy article but nice to see the big lug highlighted. Let's hope he can play a big part tonight (well, tomorrow morning for me!)...

http://www.news.com.au/heraldsun/sport/afl/story/0,26576,26000166-19742,00.html Thought it was pretty good actually. And pretty forthright, too. Wonder if it'll put some noses out of joint down at AFL HQ?

I always thought they were a bunch of closet morons - but now they are really foaming at the mouth. Are they starting to irritate anyone else? Shades of Hawthorn fans last year.

http://www.news.com.au/heraldsun/sport/afl/story/0,26576,25377629-19742,00.html I didn't realise that the Dome was to lose games after 2014 - I reckon that would definitely make a case more viable for a small-ish stadium.

According to this article, it's happening next week. http://www.goldcoast.com.au/article/2009/03/26/63201_gold-coast-sport.html

Not sure if we wanted to continue this theme - mods feel free to edit the OP if not ;) thoughts on this game? I am sure the boys will be hungry to exact some revenge from the GF, but winning this game won't mean much more than the 4 points at this stage. Hawthorn seem to be missing a few -...

I've seen the article and video about this on the Hun website. An absolute disgrace to all involved. Was anyone on here thereabouts when this broke out? Curious about what the hell started it. It's bloody ridiculous that this sort of thing would happen at all, let alone in a NAB Cup game that...

Alright, so we won by a lazy 13 goals tonight. Pretty much perfect on the night except in one aspect - our kicking for goal was shithouse! After the GF you'd think they'd be doing goalkicking drills until it gave them nightmares. But there didn't seem to be much tangible improvement tonight. Our...

Even though I feel like popping a few pills with the copious amount of alcohol I've consumed, I have to say one thing. Gary Jnr stood up today. If he wasn't our best then I don't know who was. He tried his guts out, took the Hawks on and I reckon he just didn't get enough assistance when the...

Surprised that this thread is not up and going already since this is a pretty big game. More important for North, you'd think, with a top-four spot at stake, but Geelong will not be taking this game lightly at all. It's their last real competitive hit-out before the finals and I know North will...

Howdy folks (damn, sound like I'm in Texas...), I've begun watching the Richmond game (yeah, a bit behind the times here) and noticed that the game was broadcast in HD. Does anyone know if there are gonna be any more Geelong games in HD? Finals? The difference was staggering. I'm about to find...

No changes for us - Cameron Stokes in for them. Still waiting on news regarding Luke Hodge and Sam Mitchell (HUGE outs if they occur). Friday July 25 Hawthorn v Geelong MCG @ 7.40pm HAWTHORN B: Brent Guerra, Stephen Gilham, Rick Ladson HB: Campbell Brown, Trent Croad, Grant Birchall C...

Gotta love the BF reference thrown in there ;)

This game has probably been hyped up the most throughout the week. Cats were flat last week versus Melbourne, Saints got steamrolled by a rampant Doggies outfit. Can St Kilda bounce back? Or will Geelong fire up after last week and deliver another statement? Some big ins for the saints with...

Well, just thought I'd get this thread rolling. Lots of talk during the week about records falling and so forth, but to be honest I don't see it happening. KP hasn't seen a huge score since the days of Ablett and Brownless and I think Melbourne will fire up this week after all the talk during...

From http://www.news.com.au/heraldsun/story/0,21985,23025234-2882,00.html I don't understand his bitterness towards this team. It always seems as though he is carrying on and talking rubbish. Can anyone explain this to me?
