    Players 'getting at' other players after an error

    That thing the commentators really love - a player misses a shot at goal or drops an easy mark leading to a goal and then an opposition player comes over to 'get inside his head'. Then it turns into chest puffing and push and shove etc etc. Leigh loves this one in particular. Its always...

    Dogs Freo tix

    Booked flights in April but only occurred to me now to look at game tickets. Loser! Sold out of course and our club member allocation all done. Anyone suggest an entree to reasonably priced tickets ? I thought no one went to Freo games any more but there you go... Thx

    Great home made signs in the crowd

    Not going to mention 'Peter rohde our mastermind'. I've seen a couple of good ones lately. Usually behind the goals. 'Everything's coming up Dahlhaus' is nice. But hats off to 'What you talking about Wallis?' Made me laugh. My all time favourite is from the 2008 soccer World Cup in...

    Readings for funerals & weddings

    Anyone got good suggestions for funeral or wedding readings (non bible etc). ? Can be really tough. Particularly the non religious. They need to reach for something profound which can be hard in the absence of God talk. Usually it's a poem or lyrics or short prose. attended a funeral last week...

    End of The Age in print

    Gathering clouds for the print version of the age. Leaving aside the question of whether print is doomed - and many proprietors say it isn't - I've long wondered whether the age could spin off and expand its sports coverage into a daily print paper. 30 pages of sport (and ads). All the footy...

    Discussion Fitzroy, Carl, Coll, richmond, all the Melbournes- why not Brunswick?

    The inner ring of suburbs as above plus st Kilda all made it to the VFL. What happened with Brunswick ? Did they ever apply to join? Were they successful at VFA level?

    Dogs members buying/selling - little tip

    Dogs members only. A while ago there was a promotion email for 15% (ymmv) off the rack rate for members for conveyancing work done by the president's law firm. I've had this honoured many times for quotes and used them for buying and selling. Good discount although nothing more than we...

    The Subiaco Experience

    Can anyone pass on some tips? Where to go before the win and then where to celebrate the win. it's been a long while since I've been there. Last time I recall being amazed at everyone wearing eagles polo shirts. No scarves. There was also a disturbing mass hysteria feel to the crowd when...

    The next country

    South Sudan was the last. What will be the next? I should say I support the creation of viable states. I never thought Kosovo was viable and it has become a criminal state like transdnistria Really but there it is. Bougainville likely. Kurdistan looks likely soonish. Scotland a bit later...

    Query 1972 Perth Carnival

    Anyone know if any video footage exists of this? Can anyone help me with newspaper reports of the WA V Vic game of that carnival? I'm told there was an interesting fight in the crowd - but the memory may be faulty. Thanks!

    The John Howard Bulldogs Hall of Fame

    I'm glad Mr Rose was dissuaded from his plan to call our new Hall of Fame after a soon to be ex-PM. Should always have been a player or administrator. Not really in keeping with the Bulldogs ethos either...IMO But who are they naming it after instead?

    Worst calls

    Fess up. Your worst public prognostications, Bulldogs-related. I'll give you mine: 1. "West, you are not FIT to wear number 7". shouted by me, Subiaco Oval, to a very young Scott West. Still haunts me. 2. "He's the new Pieman!", shouted by me, Telstra Dome, regarding J Rawlings and his 7...
