    Autopsy Rd 2 vs Melbourne Blues go down by 1 point after disastrous first half

    Hey guys, hope you don't mind the intrusion. On Walsh, what hasn't been said is in the two biggest moments at the end - who was the one who worked harder than all to get themselves free and make the opportunity to win the game. Main board is all too comon a place for trolls who react on...

    Don’t think this is either person’s finest moment tbh ** For the record, I didn’t see the alleged kick either...

    Bulldogs Eyewitness -The Social Media Thread

    Hi guys, forgive the intrusion. Just as a footy starved Aussie in the States, I was super excited to see Josh Schache in NYC! We were on a bus to philly (I’m presuming he was going to the nfl game). He was quite polite - seemed a good person. I didn’t bother him tho, he struck me as kinda low...

    Grand Final in The Big Apple

    I don’t think so - you? I forget that when you’re not in Melbourne you need to check calendars more carefully and said yes to my gf about a wedding in jersey that Saturday. No way I could do all night at a bar and back up at a wedding The plan is to watch from home and order some Aussie snacks...

    When you guys get here you’ll have to visit the most ‘neon’ street of them all ;)

    Grand Final in The Big Apple

    It’ll be a blast! Its so crazy, it’s even hard to describe. Let me know what you are thinking in terms of your trip and I can try give some local tips. I work in finance and our head office is in nyc (midtown). It’s a crazy busy place!

    Grand Final in The Big Apple

    Hey! I moved to nyc about 18 months ago, feel free to PM me if you have any queries. The Australian was doing some sort of special event; just check you might need to book to get a seat. It’s not a bad option I don’t want to jinx anything by saying it out loud lol, but if I’m not invested in...

    Attack v Defense - What wins you games?

    I get the question, and as others have answered i think it’s really about getting the balance right. This is an abstract, but if you wanted to be black and white about it the answer is: offense. Even if you are perfect defensively and hold them to zero, you can’t win unless you score. By...

    Even Football cards aren't safe from women's football

    That’s an odd and particularly specific response to the comment I made... is there something you want to share? On the topic of things I don’t care about, I also don’t sweat losing $3. Oh, sorry my bad - I forgot it was the 2 cards that’s the issue! Is it 10 cards in a pack, I definitely don’t...

    Even Football cards aren't safe from women's football

    I like when a sentence starts with “I’m not <sexist, ageist, racist, etc >”. It’s always a precursor to a well articulated contention. Geeze some of these packets use to have the mascots in there. Footballers being in football cards doesn’t seem that bad to me

    Don't want, (or need) to start a new thread - still want to post it though

    This might sound funny, probably a little sad, but Dan’s win really hit me this morning. I had a rough week at work and - having moved to NYC about a year ago - it can be a bit lonely. But then you watch an Australian in a foreign country beat the odds and it’s that the timely bit of...

    Autopsy Saints v Pies Round 9, 2018. Same old story.

    Yeah, that’s a good point also. It sounds like the consensus is no issue and I’ll back you guys in over my 30 sec observation I was reflecting on why i felt compelled to mention it and I think fundamentally it’s the bake itself (and I realize I’m making an assumption it was a bake). He already...

    Autopsy Saints v Pies Round 9, 2018. Same old story.

    Hi. Pls forgive the intrusion. My old man is a saints supporter. Was just curious about how you guys felt about it? I mean by all means give a player feedback so they can be better, but it seemed odd IMO. I’m sure it wasn’t positive (otherwise do it visibly), so if you’re gunna bake him why...

    Incident in Southern Stand after match

    Yeah, my seats are bottom tier of the Ponsford. Usually I see them though in the standing room area and then they come down later

    Incident in Southern Stand after match

    You know I’m not even sure they are members, they usually take up standing room and then I think they come down later in the match after the game has started / there’s available seats. The thing is I remember at least 2 other incidents where yellow coats have had to intervene on this group and...

    Incident in Southern Stand after match

    I have had reserve seats in that area for 10+ years and I can’t remember a single incident (yesterday’s included) that didn’t involve certain parties in that clip. They are 100% multiple offenders. To quote my mother as we tried to leave and avoid that area: “they scare me and I don’t know how...

    Waiting inline task on Airtasker for Anzac day..

    Paying someone to wait in a line is thing in the US - there’s even companies set up for this sort of thing. http://www.sameolelinedudes.com/ One thing they do now to combat is they take a photo of the person who purchased the ticket and when you are scanning in for entry they check for the match.

    Strategy Core business

    In answer to the OP's question, I can't add any more than this Wasn't sure where to put this - and not sure why it bothers me - but if you google collingwood fc in the US it says we are a soccer club. I searched Carlton (had a different layout), and Essendon (said professional sporting club)...

    Best Lists That Never Won A Premiership?

    I also have never been able to understand how Gordon Coventry - who was still the all time leading goal kicker at the time - wasn't in the team somewhere. Then again, John Nicholls' is in the team as a back flank so I think that explains it.

    News Assistant coach changes for 2018... BUMPED p42, now discussing potential 2019 promotions to other clubs

    I agree with this. Transition to me is a change in state i.e. from defense to offense and vice versa. Ball movement is about control i.e. when we have possession what are we doing to optimize our chance of scoring. To try and combine the two in an example. If our ball movement is poor and...

    Post a "Chill out" song for today's miserable loss

    Hey all, I hope you don't mind me dropping in (as a pies supporter have definitely experienced all sorts of pain). This is my contribution. The song always reminds that when there's adversity - it's because something was meaningful. And a whilst a set back always hurts and we fall, it's an...

    If you ever needed proof (mark of the year)

    Disappointed for him as he was also super unlucky RE AA this year. For some reason though, what really annoyed me was this tweet. Pretty ordinary and nothing of real value from a journalist. Say Richmond get smashed on Saturday, anyone care to guess Jon Ralph's body language. I bet you...

    Gary Ayres

    As an outsider looking in, I feel that's why he works so well at port. Maybe a generalization, but everyone (or at least the cast majority) there you'd think is trying to prove they are are afl quality with the hope of being elevated - this is from coach all the way down. Seems like a...

    Countering the Don't Argue

    I agree with you. Strictly if you were one on one I think your offensive options are either instigate getting hit high (not guaranteed to get a free) or grab & hang on to the arm (easier said than done). Dusty specifically though, I think he's so good at them he looks to do it everytime - it...
