There's a thing in Nsw at least that you can't call it soccer anymore. All the papers refer to it as "football". Of course that is a massive wank so I continue to say soccer. When my son was playing in the U10s some years ago I referred to it as soccer and got the typical "it's not soccer it's...

Here you go Jewels - SMH, 12 years ago: FINALLY, it seems, the mystery of how the Brewongle Stand at the Sydney Cricket Ground got its name has been solved. For several generations, cricket-goers have wondered why it was not named, like most of the other stands, after a hero of yesteryear like...

Cricket: O'Reilly Trumper Bradman Noble Rugby League: Dally Messenger (a tiny stand under the scoreboard) Clive Churchill Other: Brewongle Members Ladies Best bet is to change Brewongle or Ladies

Who are you dropping?

Is it in the interests of the VFL media to make this point? Every club has access to father/sons (except GWS and GC but that is a function of time) The academy is on top of father/sons. Collingwood was lucky to have a good crop.

And with Adams recently in, Parker and Mills to come there is no room.

Win the flag, lose the academy. Nothing more certain. Other clubs, supporters and most importantly, the VFL media will say: Gulden Heeney Blakey Mills Campbell Wicks Yes I know Wicks was a rookie but the VFL media won't care. Without the academy we don't win the flag.

I think I had a scrimmage last night.

Agree but would add these observations: 1. Despite the step down in quality, one can expect a measure of rustiness - he did not play finals last year and missed the first three rounds this year. 2. I assume the VFL side is using the same system as the Seniors. Nevertheless practice is not the...

IIRC prior to his draft Gulden played the Sydney grand final with a bag over his head. Then we stuffed up by putting his Guernsey number and name in the Record.

I've heard it said that players never really settle until 50 games of experience. Generally with a new player I expect a little skittishness or indecision. When they get the ball I at any rate have that moment when I think "don't butcher it". Roberts, all of 10 games in, is very assured and I...

Erm... is there anyone in the team eligible for YPOTY other than Roberts? I suppose Corey Warner. Anyone else?

Warner's guernsey is a lot more blood coloured.

Stop Perkins. He was very good v Hawthorn last week and delivered from the centre to the forwards very well.

Chris Scott at Geelong, Brad at North and now Essendon.

Another problem, I suspect, is that Adams left the Pies because he was not playing in the mids, but rather in defence. We may very well have given him some positional assurances when negotiating his contract.

Judging from Horse's presser the returns will be staggered, Parker first, a few weeks later Adams, then Mills. So, assuming Heeney continues his form what happens? It is not so much players in and out, but how the midfield minutes are shared. I do not think taking minutes from Heeney and giving...

Did well at Kardinia Park a few years ago kicked a few and took a screamer IIRC, so he has it in him.

Do you want me to go round to Hayward's place with a ball peen hammer and a bag of ice?

Rampe Melican Lloyd Blakey McCartin Florent Gulden Warner McInerney Heeney Mcdonald Hayward Papley McLean Wicks Grundy Jordon Rowbottom Fox Campbell Reid Cunningham Sheldrick

Something like that. I recall a poster (from West Coast I think) said it was pure Alpha Dog. Buddy goes over, looks at their shiny new stadium and then lifts a leg over it.

I take it that you went to every Taylor Swift concert.

201. Thereafter Wayward will fall off the cliff, Ben Ronke, Ian Baker-Finch, Brad Hodge style.

A horse walked into a bar... The barman was quite surprised and let out a startled "Hey!" The horse looked at him, winked and said "You read my mind".

Clearly messed with his speed.

Yes Fritsch is a gun but fmd his hair makes his face almost as punchable as Eddie's. Shut him down and we win.

Three full games - yes you are right but I'm surprised - it felt like lots more to me for whatever reason. Anyway these stats (as I know you love) show that improvement should be relatively straightforward.

Oppo: The SCG is a thimble Swan: No it's not. It's only a metre or so shorter than the MCG. Oppo: Bullshit. It is a thimble. Swan: Nah. Gameplan and strategy means we play it better and we can't just bomb it away. Oppo: Bullshit. It is a thimble. Swan: We have better gameplans and coaching so...

Re intercept marks I wonder about before and after Paddy stopped playing.

Carlton has a lot of supporters. Carlton has been s**t for years. Media talks it up = clicks.
