This one is obviously very sad. A young Victorian doctor killed apparently after confronting burglars. It seems he might have pursued them then been hit by their car. Second death of a doctor in a home invasion in recent times. Obviously brave to pursue the alleged invaders but a major risk as...

A high-profile Melbourne identity is charged with rape, but his identity is suppressed for now due to mental health concerns. High-profile Melbourne identity is charged with rape Could make a guess but won’t. Expect rumours are swirling regardless.

The first movie came out a while back as a Netflix original. Well made and one very eye catching “single shot take” that took months to film. Wasn’t a stand out but a solid vehicle for Chris Hemsworth. The sequel landed this week and I thought it was a significant step up, with another single...

Kurtley Beale of Rugby Union fame has been hit with a slew of charges relating to an alleged sexual assault on a night out. https://7news.com.au/sport/rugby-union/wallabies-star-kurtley-beale-granted-bail-and-suspended-by-rugby-australia-following-alleged-sexual-assault-in-bondi-c-9516485...

Before 2019, caretakers rarely got the coaching job at year’s end. Craig and Roos did well when they got the gig, but it was a rarity. All of a sudden, Teague, Ratten and Shaw all got the nod within weeks of each other. Shaw obviously didn’t work out and both Carlton and St Kilda are...

Seriously, getting three in the team from a middling season which started so poorly is a great result. Bont possibly slightly lucky but his best games were extraordinary.

Not a great look. Ironically takes the heat off Bennell. https://www.couriermail.com.au/sport/afl/teams/gold-coast/video-footage-shows-gold-coast-suns-coach-stuart-dew-urinating-outside-a-queensland-pub/news-story/6ce1c8713474f4936c502fbe962412e2

Former AFL ‘star’ (geez they use that term loosely these days) has let the snake well out of the cage and found his way into the Daily Mail. https://mol.im/a/8668547

No shortage of teachers engaging in inappropriate behaviour but this one is just getting bizarre: https://mol.im/a/8626141 Quick recap: - teacher is 23 and engaged, soon to be married - victim is only 14 - alleged she had sex with him in a car, sent him inappropriate Snapchat messages and...

We’re obviously stuck in a period where three dudes have basically dominated most of the past 15 years and are near the pointy end again this AO. When they start to decline (ie out of serious grand slam contention) should they play on a la Lleyton or quit to preserve the legend? Remember...

Ok, Dale Lewis was right. They’re all on it. So without further ado, here’s my take on the best team of those with documented powder issues. B Johnson Lake Crosisca HB A Hunter Carlisle Whitfield C Kerr Libba Martin HF Stokes Buddy Chick FF Ablett Carey Thomas R...

We’re halfway through the third quarter of tonight’s game and much is being made by the commentators of the fact Curtly Hampton is yet to register a stat (though I believe he may just have registered a handball). Got me thinking about truly terrible games by individuals, from Kade Simpson’s...

See title. Well earned.

Sorry for the rant. Let’s be honest - 2016 was a gift beyond our wildest dreams. The 18 months since have been less than ideal. None of us really know the inner workings of the club. I hope and frankly expect we will bounce back from last year but I wonder if our club as a whole, used to...

In what is turning out to be a less than great season in which many players have seen a dip in form, one bloke has kept his chin up and done what's expected of him. Red now averages the most goals per game and second most contested marks in the side and despite only playing four games is top...

In a very sad defamation case reported last week...Please see paragraph 27. http://www.austlii.edu.au/cgi-bin/sinodisp/au/cases/vic/VSC/2015/11.html?stem=0&synonyms=0&query=suzi%20olsen

Billy Nicholls, who oddly I remember. http://www.heraldsun.com.au/news/law-order/former-afl-footballer-billy-nicholls-charged-over-shootings/story-fnat79vb-1226630279306

Word has it that Stack will be formally delisted tomorrow, meaning we no longer have any players on our list from our original 2006 crop (Dj was taken that year but came later). Not wanting to cry over spilt milk but that is a very poor result from a strong draft. Several of these players will...

Hey guys, we've had a petition running on a few team boards but I think it's worth putting on the main board. It requests that, when determining the compensation that is given to a club for losing a player to GWS, consideration is given to whether or not that team has also lost a player to Gold...

Hey guys, sorry to intrude. Have started a petition relating to compensation for players taken by GWS. I don't know that any Lions players have been targetted by GWS but, if one goes, you guys will of course have been royally screwed with two going to GC last year. Will probably be ignored but...

I've started a petition, which I have mentioned in the Ward thread, asking the AFL to consider the loss of players to GCS when awarding compensation for GWS players. Probably shuffling deckchairs on the Titanic but won't hurt. If you'd like to contribute, the link is...

Hey guys, sorry to intrude. Have started a petition relating to compensation for players taken by GWS. Will probably be ignored but may as well try. The link is: http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/gwscompensation/ Your input would be very welcome.

http://www.theage.com.au/afl/afl-news/lynch-eyes-afl-dream-20110701-1gv2o.html Good on him. That draft is slowly turning into a nightmare for us with Everitt and Harbrow getting games elsewhere (not always for Everitt) and Hill and Stack out of the side. From what I understand Lynch was a...

It seems ikely we will lose some experience at the end of the year. A quick analysis of the players getting regular game time shows that in three years we should once again have a significant number of players between 24 and 28. I firmly believe we should look for a player (maybe more than one)...

Obviously when we suffer a collapse of this magnitude people will question the quality of our recruiting over the years. Generally speaking, I think it's been good. It took us to three prelims and there is quality in our youth. As much as people say that there is a cultural issue at the club...

In the early 2000s, after consecutive flags, Sheedy began drafting or trading for rejects from other clubs in a last attempt to pinch another flag with the list he had. Players he took on included Salmon, Cupido, Alvey, Mal Michael, Camporeale, Zantuck, Justin Murphy, Allen, Hefferenan, McPhee...

I went to the game in Canberra and was lucky enough to be granted entry to the president's function prior to the game. I was able to mingle a bit with a few of the heavies at the club and several were surprisingly candid on some of the goings on. I'll refrain from naming names obviously...

http://www.westernbulldogs.com.au/Season2007/News/NewsArticle/tabid/4112/Default.aspx?newsId=52192 We are now aligned with Williamstown. Note that Brad Gotch is now their senior coach AND our development coach, so it looks like we'll have more control.

Well, we won the clearances against Freo. That comes on the back of matching Brisbane in that area, beating Carlton (though we lost the game) and narrowly losing to Sydney. We aren't there yet but there has clearly been improvement in this area as the season has gone on. We still have Crossy...

We've all been a little confused by some of the choices made at the selection table this year. I've come to the conclusion that Eade has pretty much already made up his mind which players he thinks will be part of a charge at the premiership and has resolved to pump as many games as possible...
