    Good luck getting to the game from Melbourne. V/Line and VicRoads are at it again.

    Trains only running between Southern Cross to Wyndham Vale, you then have to change to a bus at Wyndham Vale for the rest of the journey to Geelong. Major delays on the West Gate all week end due to lane closures. (Just had a friend take 40 minutes to get from Kororoit Ck Rd to Millers Rd). I...

    The Matthews / Bruns incident. What was it that caused the aftermath ?

    I'm saying that it started on World of Sport the following morning when Peter Mc Kenna interviewed the two coaches. First he interviewed Geelong coach Tom Hafey, a little bit of discussion but not too heavy. He then turned to Allan Jeans and the longer it went on the more of a personal shite...

    The "It's not fair that we have to play Geelong in Geelong" thread.

    Adelaide play their home games in Adelaide. Melbourne play their home games in Melbourne. Sydney play their home games in Sydney. Brisbane play their home games in Brisbane. So logic says that Geelong play their home games in Geelong. For some stupid reason people object to this. Let's keep all...

    Grand final drinking game.

    Let's see who can get the most drunk. Name 5 things you will have a drink (or shot) to. Camera zooms onto Peter Daicos - take a drink. Commentator suggests Brisbane are more accustomed to the heat - take a drink. Camera zooms onto Eddie - take a drink. Commentator asks when's the best time to...

    No !! The departing C.E.O. of Qantas was not a former coach of Hawthorn & Footscray.

    I'm amazed at how many people think that the C.E.O. of Qantas was the same person that coached Hawthorn & Footscray. All they share is their names. The former coach is actually 23 years older than the Qantas C.E.O.

    The ARC. FIFA must just laugh at it.

    I wonder if any FIFA officials decided to have a look at this wierd game that a couple of Australian states refer to as "Football". They must have a giggle when the AFL use The ARC to help with decisions. It must look very amatuerish compared to their VAR.

    The premiership cup tour

    I'm really starting to smell a rat. The places it's been so far, the reports I'm getting is that there doesn't seem to be to much security for something so valuable. I notice that you can buy full size replica cups for $1000 (which I don't agree to the principle of). On the Port Phillip Ferries...

    If you score a grand final ticket, don't show the bar code.

    I say this every year and I'll say it again. If you are lucky enough to score a grand final and you can't resist the urge to display a picture of it on social media, DO NOT SHOW THE BAR CODE. It leaves you open to people copying the bar code and using it to get into the GF.

    Has the world oldest football rivalry (Melbourne vs Geelong) just been reignited.

    Melbourne Vs Geelong 162 years and counting. It has been a bit dormant for 50 years or so, but the last decade or so has seen some flare ups. The draw of 2006, the thrashing of 2011, the gate crashing of Corey Enright's 300th game, Touhy after the siren and now Gawn after the siren. This is not...

    Matthews - Bruns thread number #268

    I didn't want to bump an old thread but this World of Sport interview the following day has popped up a couple of times in here. I said back then that I heard from a reliable source that the interview has been seriously edited. I have finally found a bit more footage on that Jeans - McKenna...

    Grand Final Celebrations. What will, might or not happen ?

    Siren goes to end the 2020 Grand Final and your team is Premiers, you watch the cup presentation, by then the time will probably be around 11pm. (8pm in Perth) What do you do after that ???? It could get very strange depending which team it is. At that time Melbourne will still be under 9pm and...

    Why are the AFL (and the MRP) in bed with Richmond.

    They have been getting away with murder lately. Why is the AFL (with the co-operation with the MRP) trying so hard to help Richmond ? Here's my theory. Year after year people complain that the likes of Richmond, Collingwood and Hawthorn have an unfair advantage because they play so many games at...

    Bruce says "Gary Ablett, he's struggling" - nek minute - 9 unanswered goals.

    I'm elevating it to number 3 in the "egg on face" moments. Jeff Kennett 2009 owns number one spot followed by Tim Lane 2010. I'm elevation Bruce to number 3.

    Whinging about Kardinia Park being narrow. Keep it going, keep it going.

    I love it, keep it going, it is now really getting into the opponents heads. The game against Hawthorn was proof, they were bragging about how they used witches hats at training to try and match the narrowness. As soon as I heard that I knew they were gone. They had only been playing VFA / VFL /...

    AFL games and horse racing spring carnival.

    In 2012 a game between Adelaide and Geelong was brought forward half an hour due to a horse race involving racehorse Black Caviar. This is just the tip of the iceberg on how horse racing can effect other sports. The amount of money involved in horse racing (betting in particular) makes the AFL...

    If buying AFL gear on Facebook sites, beware there's a trap.

    They have been popping up on peoples Facebook pages for around the last twelve months. Obviously non-approved apparel being sold by companies other than AFL approved ones. I must admit, some of the stuff looks quite good and the prices look quite reasonable. That's until you buy it. You give all...

    VFL park, 50 years on.

    18th April 1970, Geelong defeated Fitzroy in the first ever game at VFL park. With no West Gate, nor Monash, nor Tunnels, it must have taken ages for Geelong people to there in there XP falcons.
