Good vibes today, I feel a win in my waters... Its 50 years today since (the real) Geoff Jennings #25 made his debut! 🔴⚪🔵 (And it was a win against the Cats!) (So did a bloke who'd played state cricket for WA, went on to captain St Kilda... the saw the light and became another in the stream...

Struggling to create this as a poll on my phone, but I'd suggest options are: A. Hell, yeah! B. Yes C. Probably D. All of the above

Kurve - hope these are OK to post on a separate thread, just caught my eye, thought anyone who can't get enough of unsolved crimes can read and follow these ones up: https://www.abc.net.au/news/2023-12-25/the-mystery-of-the-vanished-sodder-children/103245390...

Was in and out of Ballarat 3 times today, but wasn't aware of it until someone mentioned a while ago in an SRP thread. Have now caught up from various sources. Nice of the Ballarat constabulary to assist these gutless lowlifes continue their march unhindered from Sturt St then up towards...

Getting to season-on-the-line scenario, really need to win tonight. Bevo has gone tall in defence, brought in lots of Bs, moved one B to sub, but we all know the only real letter in play tonight is: Pro-Bevo, anti-Bevo, on the fence, it doesn't matter, all that matters is go Dogs, get it...

Yes, going early - I'm on a roll here with 2 successive new threads, and on pain relief from minor surgery, so let's get the ball rolling! JOD an obvious out, Darcy likely as well. One would suspect Rory the Lobb-meister is the obvious Darcy swap. Today's VFL may indicate who the JOD...

This isn't an opinion on Beveridge, so not really part of the "faith in Bevo" circular descent to madness thread, but thought I'd pull my own post out of there: Personally I can't see us parting ways with Bevo at either his or the club's instigation this year, and fully expect him to coach in...

Sorry this one isn't a neat fit under our 2023 membership thread, or even in the media thread, I think it deserves its own thread (hope Mods agree!). Cody Atkinson and Sean Lawson with some more quality media analysis (and as we all know, there is far too little of that in our sport)...

Wasn't sure where to put this, so hopefully a separate thread is ok. Currently on eBay is a rare unmarked copy of the 1954 VFL Grand Final Footy Record I'm a collector myself, but the starting price on this one is a little high for my current situation, but it looks like a really good copy...

Is he the greatest Bulldog ever? Does it matter? Personally, we've all been fortunate to watch this guy do his thing for 199 games so far. In the FB post from the club where a bunch of captains lauded and congratulated him (Johnson, Boyd, Murphy, Darcy, Wood, Hawkins), Dougie says he can't...

Hopefully an easy one to answer - as we only hold social club membership and reserved seats for Marvel, and travel is up to 2 hours each way from where we live, we haven't been to an away game for years. But with one offspring who has never experienced the MCG, am planning to head over this...

Hey Kurve - hope this is ok, thought it deserved it's own dedicated thread/discussion. The article posted yesterday on the ABC was disturbing in itself, but the comments from the Assistant Commissioner of Tas police were just flabbergasting. If he actually believes them, he is not only in the...

Fossie 32 - breaking out the good china for the intraclub! 🔴⚪🔵

Can't find any references to this one on here, police have arrested and charged a 24yo woman who seems to have no connection to either of the deceased or Todd's partner/Kirra's mother: https://www.abc.net.au/news/2023-01-06/qld-biggenden-shed-fire-murder-charge-arson/101832540

Always a Footscray player to me, in spite of his later career. RIP #14. :(

Hello all, long time since I've posted on here, just got a quick question - for the first Mars game I think someone on here posted that the unused tickets allocated to the Crows became available on Ticketmaster a certain number of days out from the game. Does anyone know when that will be for...

Not sure where to put this - mods maybe a thread for this sort of stuff, just move as you see fit.... (It’s from an FB feed I’m somehow connected to, from Paul O’Connor of Past Players) A sad email from Don Macka Mckenzie... I was just looking at the pictures of the 1976 3rd XVIII sent by...

Milestones this week for two premiership players, boasting 2 x BnFs, a Norm Smith, and historically fetching hair management. Congrats fellas, let’s get a win for you this week...

Need to lighten up the board a bit... Any captions greatly appreciated. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 1.”Bont, Morris dancing with you is my favourite warm up routine.” 2.”If it’s all the same with you Gia, I have a goal kicking routine that actually works.” 3.”Hey boys, Dicko reckons these white...

Haven't been on for a while, but the history buff in me prompted this one - I've just posted it on the MB, thought I'd add it here too as it has primarily a Footscray flavour: The likely drafting of Charlie Spargo in a few weeks got me thinking if there are any other families with 4 successive...

The likely drafting of Charlie Spargo in a few weeks got me thinking if there are any other families with 4 successive generations of VFL/AFL players? First, there was Bob Spargo Snr, recruited locally from the now-defunct Riverside club to Footscray, who played 65 games between 1934 and 1941...

Anyone know if the clip from prior to the bounce on the Etihad (and Mars) scoreboards with the countdown is available anywhere? Can't find it on YouTube , wanted a copy mainly for Boyd and Bob in it.

Makes sense, and he had the record to prove it. Interesting that the sports scientist told him he'd practised enough and had to go behind the clubs back...

He's been a fantastic servant for this club, off the rookie list, struggled to establish himself early, made the grade, captained the club. Won a flag. As of tonight: 289 games, 14 h&a games left, hopefully finals. Bevo and MC have a big call to make as soon as next week. Glad it's not me...

I was curating my memorabilia collection recently, when I noticed something interesting. Luke Beveridge has developed our rapid fire handball system, but where did he get the idea from? These are cigarette and confectionery cards of his grandfather, Jack Beveridge, who played in Collingwood's...

Dulcet tones of D.Cometti: "And after that goal, the Dogs lead the 2018 grand final by 23 points, looking for a three-peat. No-one gets an effective touch at the centre bounce, but it's taken by Lib-er-a-tore, hand balls to Bon-tem-pelli, kicks out wide to Mullinger-McHugh, keeps moving and...

Because I'm old and forgetful, and my 16yo I went to the game with does not appreciate the classics, can someone remind me of the songs played over the PA on the day? I know most were Aus rock. I do remember INXS/Barnesy cover of Good Times. There was at least one other INXS number, another...

Mate told me a short while ago, but can't find anything official, just been reading assumption this will be 250th and last game this week on Bombres board. Anyone heard/seen anything?

I know, I know, the umpiring was but a factor within the game tonight, not the deciding factor. But seriously, after having to suffer through 400+ games and 15 or so years of Kennedy's laughable interpretation of rules, he is appointed to a senior umpiring post, and then they progress to the...

Aker didn't name anyone, but was the un-named player a certain angry North full-back :D... only kidding......................... maybe! Also, imagine if Baz had held the headlock for another 15-20 seconds?? We would be having some very different discussions this week. But then it only took 4...
