ACMI have digitised a bunch of old movies that includes the following footage of the '63 final. Given the lack of footage in existence it's a pretty good find!
Comrades,
Owing to enormous technical difficulties SJ and myself were forced to record the Round 3 podcast from Jakarta HQ. As a result and because I'm an technologically illiterate buffoon who changed the inputs SJ was forced to call in via CB radio, resulting in some slightly dodgy audio...
So as some of you would have picked up on I was lucky enough to win the two tickets to the season launch as part of the Varcoe sponsorship. Owing to enormous geographical challenges I was sadly unable to attend so I got my (long time BF lurker) old man and uncle to attend and fly the flag. They...
'The end of an error': worth a read:
Niall's argument - that illicit or recreational drugs are basically none of our business - seems to line up with the majority opinion on bigfooty, and the fact (IIRC) a large percentage of Australians will at some point use them. So why is it that anyone...
The club has taken the 'unprecedented' step of making public its submission to the AFL on equalisation, not because it contains any sort of bombshell but because the club is committed to transparency. It's laudable, particularly because the document itself is a pretty good read that has a lot of...
It's on Eurosport if anyone's interested. Pretty good quality - HC Davos playing Mannheim at the moment with Thornton, Kane and Eriksson playing for Davos and Nash out injured. 2-2 halfway through the 2nd.
2012 National Draft Geelong BF Preview Thread
The Details: Thursday 22d November on the Gold Coast.
Geelong's Picks: 15, 36, 55 [subject to change]

Was outstanding today. Already knew he was a classy user of the ball but what really impressed me was his defensive work - took some great marks as the loose man. 26 touches, 1.1, 5 marks and 5 inside fifties. Just looked a cut above his teammates (and most of his opponents) with how calm he was...
;)
The National Library of Australia in conjunction with various state libraries has begun a project to digitise Australian newspapers. Doesn't look like News has signed up, which means the Addy is unavailable; The Age hasn't arrived either although the SMH has, which suggests some Fairfax...
Seeing as people enjoyed the Whately article so much I thought I'd bring two others to everyone's attention:
Flanagan: On the Button with Tommy
I generally enjoy Flanagan's work, though sometimes it can be a bit exuberant. It's interesting to see Wills put alongside Ned Kelly and Burke and...
So this is pretty much a direct rip of the concept behind Hockey's Future. Although I haven't gone to the same lengths as the HF reviewers do - no numerical gradings etc - the same basic concept applies. I've attempted to rank our prospects on the basis of their talent, future ceiling, position...
Just listening to David Parkin trying to contain his enormous man love for the bloke - trying, and failing. 17 touches, 2.2 in his second game and not afraid to stand up at the decisive moments. The question we all asked on draft day - how did he fall to #28? - is now being asked by the rest of...
So it's that time of the year, preseason is about to shed the prefix and become the season - not only in the AFL, but in the U/18s as well. TAC Cup practice matches have happened and the first round kicks off Saturday week. The bad news (as we all know) is that this draft is compromised, GC took...
Cats strengthen VFL side.
Good move by the club, given we were looking at putting both on the rookie list. They'll remain within the system and will be able to demonstrate to the coaches week in, week out what they're capable of; it's extremely unlikely they'd have played seniors anyway, so we...
So the VFL are the curtain raisers for the seniors this week. We've strung together three wins in a row, particularly impressive in light of the knock on changes the injury crisis forced. Interesting last week that we also debuted Brad Mangan from the Murray Bushrangers as part of our alliance...
Five minutes in and no-one has scored, Motlop just shanked one out on the full. Melbourne looking decidedly lackluster forward of center.
And aren't we glad that Dwayne Russell is calling a Port Adelaide game?
After the AFL dudded me out of tickets for Saturday, Friday's double-header of the TAC and VFL Grand Finals is looking the like the only live footy I'll be able to see for a while. It's also relatively cheap and a good way to while away a day devoid of class, so me and a few mates are going to...
What do other people think of this? ABC have been using current players as special comments men - I've heard Adam Simpson a few times and Lloyd is calling the game at the moment. It's interesting how far they're prepared to go in commenting on the opposition - Lloyd, for example, just suggested...
Random thread, but does anyone know if hoodies are allowed in the MCC? About to push off on a visitor pass and just wanted to know, they're website has got some code error and won't let me on.
