Hi all, yesterday I was sent two tickets to the AFL draft, but it's on the Gold Coast, and without much notice to arrange some time off, I unfortunately cannot attend. It seems a shame for them to go to waste however....does anyone here want them? PM me your email address and I can send them...

Jamie Elliott is again in the running for mark of the year for his round 3 screamer against Geelong. He is up against Chad Wingard and Levi Casboult, and is currently a fair way behind Wingard in second place. Let's bring him home like we did for Sidey in the weird name contest a few years...

How quickly time passes. I remember it seems like only yesterday Steele was kicking 10 goals in a TAC cup grand final, and then playing his first game for us in a 15 goal loss to the Saints at Etihad stadium. A lot has changed since then, but Steele has been a constant for us the whole time...

This Friday night marks Luke Ball's 58th game as a Magpie, and his 200th in the AFL. Congratulations Luke, it was a wonderful day for our club when you turned your eyes in our direction. I am so grateful for the series of events that led to that day, and you have delivered more than any of us...

Ok, so I know the French open is a fair way off, but I will be in Paris in May/June for 3 weeks so I've talked my fiancée into taking in a day of the French open. I've registered for tickets already and they go on sale tomorrow. It's probably the grand slam I least wanted to attend, but I...

After debuting way back on Anzac day 2005, Travis Cloke will line up for his 150th game in Round 1 this Friday night. Congratulations Travis, lets hope 2012 sees you follow on from last year and cement your position as one of the best players in the competition.:thumbsu: (And feel free to...

Opening the batting today for Italy in the ICC World Twenty20 Qualifying tournament, Di Venuto scored an unbeaten 42 off 40 balls to guide Italy to a commanding 9 wicket victory over Oman. Good on him for giving it a crack, and I hope he gets a few more runs and wins under his belt.

Just noticed that Alan Didak is currently sitting on 199 games which means he is due to notch up game number 200 this weekend against the Eagles. It's been a tough year for Alan, in fact, in terms of goals kicked its been his least prolific since his debut season in 2001, but in recent weeks he...

I'm not a big thread starter, but I got a kick out of this article and I thought you guys might as well. http://www.afl.com.au/news/newsarticle/tabid/208/newsid/99890/default.aspx http://www.afl.com.au/news/newsarticle/tabid/208/newsid/99890/default.aspx Such a humble and classy guy isn't he...

Just heard on SEN, apologies if this has been posted already, I couldn't see a thread.

http://www.bricksforbears.org.au/ Nick Maxwell's campaign to fight Bear baiting in Pakistan. I wasn't sure if it should be here or in the nest, but it's our captain taking up a worthy cause, so it deserves a thread somewhere here.

I dug this beauty up from a box in my garage after hearing the Triple M boys reading excerpts from it a few weeks ago. I remember reading it when I was a kid, and I can't believe I actually kept it this long. Has anyone else read it? It's pretty funny, but it's actually a good read in parts...

I held off making this thread because I thought someone would beat me. If we were planning on rookie-ing Begley, we now have to rethink our plans.

http://membership.collingwoodfc.com.au/ I think I'll shell out for a Legends ticket this year. It looks like it offers a guaranteed grand final ticket if we participate. I think thats new. Good to see there's a monthly payment option as well. Legends 18 - $795 ($575 conc.) Captains...

Forget player trades, get Harves! http://www.realfooty.com.au/news/news/harvey-talks-to-pies-blues/2008/10/07/1223145357249.html

I thought I'd make a thread for a player who has been much maligned here over the last few years. While injuries, and much publicised personal struggles have conspired to make the past couple of seasons very difficult for Ryan Lonie, I prefer to remember the promise Ryan showed as a youngster...

I was wondering if anyone had heard anything about it. It is his tribute dinner this week after all. Seems the right time to do it. If it does happen, I'm interested to see how much respect he gets shown by Carlton supporters. Last year, almost all Collingwood supporters, myself included...

So my girlfriend told me about this website of online brainteasers. Apparently she and her friend spent the better part of their workday yesterday playing it. She's obsessed. She's actually looking forward to going back to the office today. I've just had a crack at it while watching the IPL...

UNPRECEDENTED trading mayhem will engulf the AFL in 2010 after proposed recruiting strategies for the Gold Coast and West Sydney franchises were revealed yesterday. A 12-page AFL document, titled How Will The List Be Assembled for the Gold Coast and West Sydney Teams, outlines recruiting and...
