Waleed Aly wrote an article in the Age a few days ago about the current Coronavirus situation and made this statement. Quote: One of the reasons the rules-based approach worked so well for two years is that Australians, in spite of our larrikin self-image, are fantastic rule-followers...

Disclaimer, this is not a dig at Melbourne FC. I thought about this topic and the investigation into Melbourne this morning, and also listened to some discussion on Eddies breakfast radio show. Ed made some very good points about list management and how the AFL screwed the pooch by creating...

This is the link the the GWS player profiles. http://www.gwsgiants.com.au/player-profiles/ They list each players height in both imperial and metric (I didn't know Sydney was so far behind) but have made an absolute botch of it. It's not real hard. 2.54cm to an inch, 12 inches to a...

A 7 star hotel in Abu Dhabi. http://www.heraldsun.com.au/sport/afl/blues-landed-at-its-arab-wonderland/story-e6frf9jf-1226186366366 Yep. That will really toughen them up and get them ready for a big year.:rolleyes: Seriously, Collingwood are sponsored by Emirates Airlines. If we did...

Sellwood got up and doesn't seemed concussed, but on the replay it was clear that JPod hit Sellwood high. His shoulder fit him right in the side of the head. Has needed to leave the ground and go downstairs to get treatment. In years gone by, fair bump. Under the current way the MRP tends to...

http://www.theage.com.au/afl/afl-news/clokes-the-leader-of-the-pack-20110608-1ft6w.html Surprised this hasn't been posted already. Apologies if it has, I missed it. Travis is a true CHF IMO. The reason I discount other so called top rated key forwards is their total lack of a physical...

Seriously? No one who watched that grand final who has even the slightest understanding of football could possibly continue the myth that Dale Thomas is soft. The kid has elevated himself to gun status this year, not because he has the freaky skills (which he does have), but because of his...

Richmond aren't serious about rebuilding. Fact. He is a very good player, I've actually enjoyed watching him play and he's probably still in Richmond's top 3 players. However, the fact is he's 35 years old. Regardless of how good he's been, he will only get 1 more year out of his body at...

Is he OK? Did his head explode after ANZAC Day? He hasn't been sighted on any of the boards he usually frequents. I'm concerned.

I haven't been in Bay 13 for a few months, but I'm sadly disappointed at the standard I find when I come back. Where is the wit? The irony? The Sarcasm? FFS the inventive humour? Some of the puerile attempts at posting equate to two 8 year olds standing in front of each other, each saying...

Bottom 4 that is. For the last few years, we've had Carlton supporters constantly telling us there's no point making finals if you can't go all the way and that they'd rather get good draft picks than finish 8th, so when do they start tanking? Bottom 4 is slipping away and they're likely to...

I'm not getting into who's the best player in the league, but here's the premise. A new league has been created and all current AFL player contracts have been voided. You are starting your new team from scratch and have first pick of all afl players in the first ever total player draft...

Seriously. He punches a guy in the stomach, slaps someone on the back of the head, carries on like he farts cologne, yet when he gets a little bit back and gets roughed up he sooks like a bitch to the umpires and tries to claim he was eye gouged.:rolleyes: Weak as piss.

In a good side? Fevola would. Judd probably would as he'd still be a good player in a decent team although on his form this year........... You'd take Kruezer on potential but in reality, he wouldn't be playing seniors now at a club that had a ruckman. but apart from them, would any...

"Johnny" the bloke hit by the train - on the mend http://news.theage.com.au/melbourne-footy-fan-struck-by-train/20080504-2ap9.html

After enduring a whole preseason of listening to and reading about how good Carlton are going to be this year; their supporters blowing sunshine up each others asses and being totally delusional thinking they actually would be better, the unanimous tip for the wooden spoon gives them a lesson in...

I couldn't find another thread to bump, so............. A collingwood supporter walking along a lonley beach finds a bottle. Curious he opens it and a genie pops out. The Genie say's "gday, I'm here to give you three wishes but there's a catch. You can't wish for things for yourself, it...

Extracted from Wikipedia, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carlton_Football_Club So, the main difference is that in 1910, they were called "bribes" and players get banned, in 2007, they're called "draft picks" and players get feted.:rolleyes:

Carlton's Wikipedia page Good to see Carlton supporters are happy to get Judd. They've already got him in their team of the century, and club song http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carlton_Football_Club :D:D And no, I didn't do it.

Pick 3, 20 and Fevola Mate of mine provides the pencil erasers to Fevola's B class eatery that they use to make the calamari and he reckons the Fev is packing his bags as you read this. Enjoy.:thumbsu:

if you lose today? Last 5 Grand Finals the cats have played in, they've lost. 44 years since the last premiership, despite good teams and gallant efforts. After all the hype, emotion, pulling the lid off and getting all wound up to dare to believe that this is the year, what will you...

Very good article in todays Herald Sun by Mark Robinson about the impact the whole Christopher Hudson thing has had on Didak. http://www.heraldsun.news.com.au/footy/common/story_page/0,8033,22447797%255E19742,00.html It's quite a long article, but I recommend reading it.

After the two biggest choking teams in recent history fall by the wayside next week. Should be a good one, looking forward to it already.:)

has the team who finished on top of the ladder at the end of the home and away season failed to win the Premiership? I make it 12 times in the last 17 years. So take the lid off pussies and get excited. You finished top of the ladder this year, just like you did in '92 and Port did in...

Watching the game, and I don't like either team, Richmond earned their first half lead while melbourne played crap footy. 3rd quarter, melbourne lifts and the umpires pave the way with rose petals. FFS, kick it for them.:mad:
