This btw is not a post about the merits or otherwise of the minor premiership....all I can say is that IMHO it does not mean much but better to win it than not. ANYWAY..... I have been thinking about how to make the game more "national" and one thing is the names of all of the awards etc...

Mr Ripper approaches the wicket in his now familiar laconic style, delivers the ball and....... OH MY GOD....the ball has struck Satay Mat fair on the scone and he is out like a light....what a tragedy....the crowd is getting restless and Mr Ripper is looking quite "sheepish". . . . ...

Following on from the great success of my last thread :).......that got me thinking..... who was the best player never to play for the Roys ???? By that I mean players who you almost had....had agreed the trade or deal and then something fell through ????? My example in the previous...

who do you guys think is the best player from SA ever to play for the Roys. we got it down to MArtin Pike but surely there is someone more desreving. He was marginally ahead of Scott Bamford !!!! I would include SA "superstars" who came over and broke a leg or did nothing for a year...

just bought a copy of Showdown XI from Name-a-Game by clinking on your link. Thought you would like to know so you can chase them for the cash !!! Good link btw....I use that site quite a bit and it is the first ad on BF which I might actually buy something from rather than just click so you...

report in today's paper that if Mead is not selected for Port this weekend then he is likely to play in the SANFL....but not for the Port Magpies has they have a bye. He would therefore line up for another club in the reserves. I think this stinks. It reduces the integrity of the SANFL if...

can't get any scores from AFL.com can any one help ???? Satay Mat

talking quality of the game not result. Which was the better game last year ??? 1. Essendon v North....coming back when 69 points down. 2. Port v Essendon....hard at it all day...Bombers come back twice....scores level with 1.5 mins to go....Port get up by 7 points. Results aside I...

Discussed this 12 months ago but in the true tradition of BF :) Next week Port play the Bulldogs. If Port lose who should go through to the semi's ???? Port will probaby have a higher percentage and therefore should progress, however Footscray beat Port and therefore would have a claim...

Happy Chinese New Year !!! - it was actually yesterday. 2002 is the year of the horse. Here is the official chinese new year predictions for each club based on when the club was born (played their first game) Predictions from http://www.chinatown-online.org.uk/horsezodiac.html...

Nothing too original but anyway.... thinking about how you might have a competition which is sustainable for all existing clubs. I like the 2 pool approach which would look like this... Pool 1 Port Crows WCE Freo Syd Bris North WB Pool 2 Ess Carl Coll Rich Haw Geel...

Picked this up on Video when I was in Adelaide over Xmas. Fair crowd that....people sitting 2 or 3 deep inside the fence. A good game by the double blues as well. I bought it a) to see the crowd and b) to see Bagshaw, who I had not seen play, but had heard good things. Also picked up...

A few posts have come up about how to deal with troublemakers and whether paying for the site would stop it. I really don't think it is a big problem. I read most pages most days and if a thread is about nothing, or it is abusive or so on I stop reading.....no problem. I have never really...

Just got in the post a key ring from the club thanking me for membership during the 1st 5 years in the AFL. I thought it was nice. Also a good move I think....bit like a loyalty program....makes you feel part fo the club. All in all a nice gesture. Those others who got them....what...

Interested in what memberships people here intend to take out this year ? I was in Adelaide over Christmas as renewed: PAFC Port Magpies + 2 for my kids Athelstone Raggies and I bought a North Adelaide Roosters membership as they are in a bit of strife. I think it would be great if we...

SA v TAS TAS 382/7d SA 1/16 then 1/353 a lazy 337 (and still going) partnership you guessed it... Lehman 183* Blewett 126* we should then field Manou behind the stumps and 8 bowlers !!! Satay Mat

Bluey I have this problem with my cat. He seems to be losing some fur from behind his ears. Can you help me ? Satay Mat

I contend that (without much historical evidence mind you) that the past 15 years has been a low point in the history of Victorian football (or at least Vicotrian footballers). A few pieces of evidence: 1 the best players from the past decade...taking the list from the other poll ...

Hello again, are you a supporter of compulsory voting ? I have had several debates with my American friends on the issue....it seems to go like this: Agree I is such a small thing to do (express your preference for a candidate). In fact you do not even have to vote....you only have...

I advocate that the direct election preferential voting system as practiced in the lower house of the Australian parliament is the most efficient election system in place. Many people claim that given it is direct election and preferential that a vote for a minor party is a wasted vote as...

I have decided it is time to sick it up with WAFC for their terrible performance at running West Aussie football over the past decades. A few gems: 1. They enter the Eagles into the VFL. Fair enough you might say....but at the same time they agreed to pay a liscence fee of $4,000,000 !!! WTF...

Hi.....especially Bombers fans. Thought I would give my views on why cheating as done by a number of clubs gets up my nose. Look today at Essendon and Hawthorn. They are losing players who they would like to keep due to the salary cap. Essendon...at the moment have a choice to lose...

I have been visiting this site regulalry since October 2000, and it has changed a bit, I was thinking how much BF is like a developing society. When I joined it was a great site....the footy season was over and there was a lot of great threads with much discussion, Mr Ripper and TT were in...

one of the problems with AFL footy in SA is the lack of real matches with great rivalry games through having crowds of roughly 50:50 supporters. Personally I do not particularly enjoy a crowd without opposition fans. What do you think of the following: 1. Both Port and Adl sell memberships...

everything has been so depressing lately that I just had to post a thread with a happy face..... this thread is reserved for happy thoughts..... *Primus holds aloft the cup !* :) Satay Mat p.s. there is a Monty Python song from the end of the Life of Brian which I could post...

I am available....the Dingoes seem to have folded....someone has run off with all the cash !!! So here are my demands (through my agent Satay Bob).... 1. I must wear number 7 2. I would prefer to help the comp by playing for a club who presently has les than 20 players....rather than...

lots of talk on this board....just wondering if the Dingoes are still around ? they are my team (under my former ptw guise) and I am ready for a run...... Polled votes in a couple of games last year so looking good for this old timer..... hello ???? anyone ???? Satay Mat

from this weeks "The planned redevelopment of the MCG's northern side may not proceed, following an announcement by the AFL that it would offer no assistance to the MCC or the state government in funding the $400 million dollar project. Speaking at a press conference at AFL House, Wayne...

I think the latter..... Satay Mat
