Has anyone attended a GF with a baby, and what are the logistics like? We have a 3 month old, and have just found our we have Category 3 tickets. Trying to decide whether we go or not (we also need to drive down from Sydney, something we havent done yet)......... Would love to hear some...

After the Cox suspension, 1 week for Brayshaws hit on Rohan should be guaranteed. Interested in this one, as it seems like a text book 1 week, yet the Channel 7 commentary did their best to not mention our replay the incident, and tried to state it was a head clash, despite being a clear...

2 x 86 point losses in a row would suggest that they are. I am sure someone on Bay 13 will dig up a team in history with lower percentages after 4 games, but you must take into account their lack of any young talent when providing a response. #1 draft pick coming their w................

After the respect that Geelong showed Adelaide in the week following the Walsh tragedy, it annoyed me greatly to see quite a large group of Adelaide supporters at the ground last week, cheering our demise and misery on what was a bad night for Geelong. So, the dose of Karma that was dished out...

Given that history has a tendency to repeat.......I think this is a valid question. Without doubt, the match last night showed that this is the start of the long descent for Hawthorn. With a few senior players out, it proved that their younger players are embarrassingly poor. We have to think...

Something I have noticed over the past few weeks, as we have given up sizable leads, is that momentum swings have been due to extremely poor missed set shots at goal. These set shots become real momentum killers, and become essentially 11 point misses when the opposition go down the other end...

Has there ever been a dirtier bunch of snipers? Hodge.... Lewis.... Who's next? Elbows Mitchell?

Back when Gillard was in government, she used to refer constantly to the comfortable middle class, and why a factory worker should be paying for the middle class. You hear the term 'middle class welfare' trotted out ad nauseum by Labor supporters these days. This whole 'why should a factory...

There is no other explanation for the decision against Khawaja. Cricket is going through tough times, and to have what just happened occur, is demorilising for the sport. That decision signifies a dark moment in the sport. I only hope that when they assess Khawaja's performance, they...

According to Hird, there is now an asterisk over the 2008 premiership (as well as the 2010 premiership actually). Premierships since 2007 should read: 2007 - Geelong 2008 - Geelong 2009 - Geelong 2010 - St Kilda 2011 - Geelong 2012 - Sydney Instead it will read: 2007 - Geelong 2008 -...

Hi Gang, So, a few years ago I started an account on Sportingbet with $30, and have worked it up to aprox $550. Mostlhy multis, with a few exotics. All bets have been on the AFL. Anyways, this round I have the following multi with a $10 stake: 1. Geelong -14.5 to beat Esendon. 2...

Over 75,000 was a great effort. It was a Hawthorn home match, but it almost seemed on the TV coverage like the crowd was more Geelong than Hawthorn. It can obviously depend where the microphones are placed! For those who were there, did the cats have a larger portion of the crowd support?

Since 2008, there have been a lot of Hawthorn supporters on Big Footy who have said that Geelong supporters were bandwagonners for not having 20,000 people turn up for the 2008 GF after-party like we had in 2007. Now I am sure, given they have 60,000 'members', that Hawthorn had at least...

Hi Bay 13, Could you please help me work out which moment was more pleasurable? It is so hard to choose......... A. or B. This is a bloody hard choice, but after some deep thought, I now have to choose B!!!

Is it time to revisit a merger between Melbourne and Hawthorn? Both clubs are a rabble, and extremely poor on field. Neither have substantial recent success or any real hopes in the near future. Hawthorn won a premiership in 91, and 30% of their members voted to merge the club out of...

Well done SJ, really ruled it out of your game today and concentrated on being a leader. Great to see! Loved the gamesmanship in front of the goals which got the 50m penalty though. On the flip side, Franklin's diving today was horrendous, every bit as bad as SJ has been at his worst...

Because he is a dirty sniper!!!!! Suck it up Hawthorn, you bunch of cheats!

1077 ................. and counting!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi lads and ladies! My first post in the cyling board. I am a 1 month a year cycling fan, but have LOVED this Tour, because of Cadel. Great that he is from Geelong as well! Anyways, my favourite moment of the tour this year was A Schlek asking him to help Evans pursue Contador because he...

Watching the Tour de France, I just saw a bloke with a Cats jumper (No 29) running besides the riders cheering them on. I love spotting Cats jumpers in random places around the world. I wore my Cats jumper to the Khyber Pass, probably the most unusual place I have worn it too!

I think it is the latter, but the injury is being used as an excuse to save face. Discuss.

But s**t it felt good watching Hawthorn's last chance at a 2011 premiership be flushed down the toilet (as slim as their chance was). Hope the big guy gets better and back to footy quickly, but the pain the fall out of this match has caused Hawthorn 'supporters' is a joy to behold. Good...

How can this bloke have people so fooled? How can people claim that he is the best in the league? He is the biggest cherry picker since Milne!!!!! Hangs off the back of packs, hopes the ball goes over the back, then kicks them from 5m out. Or else he just accepts an easy handball and kicks...

It seems like they have their fake laughter wrong. Weird interview. Talking about how she has lied to him and set him up, and there is laughter over the top of it! Strange!

Yet can only get 32,000 to a match at the MCG against a fellow 5-8 finals battler. Why cant Hawthorn draw a crowd unless they play Collingwood, Essendon or Geelong? Clearly, other teams members inflate their crowd numbers, and memberships are being untruthfully reported! Given that...

Don't you think?

Hi all, As a born and bred Geelong man, I have been to countless matches at Skilled, the G and Etihad. Last night was my first match at the SCG. I just wanted to pop into this board and say what a good experience it was, despite the terrible conditions. I found that the Sydney crowd...

Reported recently that Ablett may miss the season opener against Carlton. At $9 million over 5 years, assuming that the Suns will not make finals in their first 5 years, Ablett costs approx $81k per match. Good on Ablett for getting such good coin, but questions must be asked as to the...

I do not understand all the comments on here about it being a beauty, a Jaffa, unplayable etc. It was a standard to good length delivery pitched on off, which moved in slightly. The bloke is an opener, he should be expecting 20-30 of these deliveries every innings. The simple fact is that...

Anyone else have real trouble with these? HEM is showing, over 8k hands, that one of my worst hole card combinations is AA. I find that with KK and QQ I am more likely to be able to fold, to ultra agressive play. With AA I am far more likely to call all-in when perhaps I shouldnt. Is...
