Let's move on from the debacle 2022 thread. Footy chat only please!

This has bugged me for a while now, and after Cloke had another off night on Saturday it really became apparent. At our best in 2010/11 we had Jolly in the Ruck, Leroy as the backup ruck then the twin talls forward line of Cloke & Dawes. Obviously Brown retiring post 2011 resulted in some...

Well Round 1 has been and gone with only 2 matches and it looks to be another year of blowouts with some sides barely giving a yelp. This system where you can't move up a Division if you don't have the numbers for a Reserves side is really making a mockery of the div 4 comp as a result, with...

Whether its set in stone or not, reports have included the following. Pick 4 from Melbourne for Dawes & Wellingham package deal. Pick 13 from Melbourne for Dawes Pick 17 from Eagles for Wellingham My question for the fine folk of this board is, would you rather 2 lesser first round picks...

Under contract, but clearly on the outer and possibly a trade target. Should we have a nibble? I think he could be a gun in the right setup, serious talent as a goalkicking midfielder or hardnut half forward.

Interesting list of participants Heat 1 Sydney: Harry Cunningham West Coast: Ashley Smith GWS Giants: Tomas Bugg St Kilda: David Armintage Carlton: Kane Lucas Melbourne: TBC Collingwood: Paul Seedsman Fremantle: Tendai Mzungu North Melbourne: Shaun Atley Heat 2 Adelaide: Patrick...

I've had a few calls from folks about a Dane Swan incident, sounds pretty tame, but could be blown up. Now noticed Robbo post on twitter than there is a huge story brewing at the Pies and yo hold onto our hats. Which suggests the rumours I heard might be true...

Apologies to Clokey and Uges, but surely this pic is worthy of a shop challenge?? Clokey looks like he could be dancing to a Bee Gees tune in a traditional San Francisco licensed establishment!

GWS are going better than expected, but at the halfway point of the season - they have 1 win and that was against an injury depleted fellow franchise club. Despite this, they are being declared a runaway success and Gold Coast a complete failure. Yet last year, Gold Coast had 2 wins on the...

This is very bad news for Australian Cricket. Billy has stepped down from the gig after doing a great job for 12 months. Touring demands played a major role in decision. Can only hope his services are retained with a role at the COE and as a consultant for home seasons at the very least.

Gents, What is going on with the Bull? I loved him at the Pies and watched him with great interest last year to see how he would go if given a decent opportunity. Thought he was very good, but he wasn't used how I anticipated he would be (tough inside ball winner). I noticed he was named as...

From cricinfo http://www.espncrici...ory/553379.html Very interesting read. Particular points to note: I can totally understand that last bit and why Usman would be irked by it, why would you drop two blokes at the same time in the same room like that? Totally agree with the...

Looks like it will be made up of: Redbacks Woodsmen Pine Rivers Yeronga Coll Park Beenleigh Fairly good concentration there, with only a Redbacks or Beenliegh vs Pine Rivers game resulting in a long journey for players. Bond seem to have gone to a South league full of teams from Nth NSW as...

Even though he played for 2 clubs before us, I found this vision of my man Leroy in Demons colours quite disturbing to say the least. Not helped by the fact that he is stnading next to our former master midfield coach. Good luck to them, but I'm going to really miss Leroy. Even the bad version.

We all know Juddy is an champion, but the media love is now reaching quite scary proportions. On the weekend, when playing against witches hats and the margin was over 100 points - he kicked a long bomb that seems to have reduced the nation to a standstill it was apparently so amazing. Last...

Matter now resolved, player has been named after mediation. Pretty good process in the end, no point in naming the player until it is confirmed.

As we saw last week, Round 1 teams are out on their feet earlier, struggling to adjust to the increased intensity and just generally down on skill level, awareness and speed. This is the case at almost all levels of footy, I play low division stuff here in Brisbane and we had our second game...

Gents, just a quick question - how is he going? I haven't seen him mentioned for a long time, is he still injured? what are his prospects for this year? just thought of him this morning for some reason and couldn't seem to find any recent info

I can't find anything on it or any mention anywhere that this voucher has restrictions on it. I've been waiting to buy the Victory Pack DVD, despite it being for sale in JB Hi-Fi up here for $80, I thought I would get it from the club using the 25% discount voucher, bringing it down to $75 +...

Hi guys, As you all know, there have been some pretty shocking floods up here, and the local footy club in the Western suburbs (around the corner from me!) went under completely. This footy club is the Sherwood Magpies or now known as the Western Magpies. They are getting a great deal of help...

"No passengers" should be amusing, given the state of their list, including 3 or 4 passengers that tried to jump off the wagon during trade week.

Thanks to more stupid and unneccessary rule changes, we now have a new AA spot up for grabs. Who do we think will fill the coveted AA substitute spot? Who is the best 40 minute player in the game?! Will need to be versatile! :thumbsd:

Here is a picture of the 2008 AA side. I've identified every player except the bloke in the 2nd row on the far right. The player I can't seem to identify is Adam Cooney, so that would logically suggest the mystery man is Cooney. But that aint Cooney! Do you think the AFL just got some...

Interesting development, but I like it. Yet another goalkicking midfielder to enter the rotations and a young ruckman. Link: http://www.theage.com.au/afl/afl-news/krakouer-may-be-back-in-the-afl-with-a-new-side-20101004-164bx.html

Luke Ball, yeah baby! :thumbsu:

Who else is suffering at work? My productivity has reached an all-time low as all I can think about is football and Collingwood winning the premiership. I trawl forums, read every source of news on football there is and I just can't get enough. I am just thinking about footy 24/7 and all...

If the unthinkable happens and you don't get tickets to the GF (if we make it) what is everyone planning to do? Is the club running any kind of event at Westpac Centre or Vic Park? I'm flying down on the Friday from Brisbane, and while I'm about 80% sure I'll pick up a ticket through work...

Don't get me wrong, I'd have him BOG today or bloody close to it. Outstanding game from the big man today. My question is this. Jolly had 20 disposals, kicked 4 goals and had 17 hitouts. We lost the clearances and both opposition ruckman had more hitouts than Jolly and overall we had just...

....after getting pumped by 8 goals be West Coast in Round 1 ....or the 5 goal loss to Essendon in Round 6 ....or the 2nd consecutive loss to a contender in Hawthorn in Round 7 ....or the 3 point loss to the Dogs in Round 17 ....or even better still, the loss to the Bombers AGAIN in...

A few years back, Jono Brown was on the footy show with Ricky Ponting. He charged in off a short run and squared Punter up with a good one that reared up off a length. Does anyone know where I can find footage of this?
