It has been brought to my attention that at the 2:18 mark of this video below, in the 1974 Grand Final Paul Feltham and Arnold Briedis tried to start a blue with Bryan Wood. Laughable campaigners. Bones McGhie was an interested onlooker. Then Keithy Greig runs in, how scary. :tearsofjoy: Tigers...

Just wanted to raise a symbolic toast to the AA selectors. would like you all to charge your middle fingers... I have just realised this august body known as the AA selection panel has pulled off the impossible. Allow me to explain something I have only just realised. I must have almost...

First, in 2004, he was just a young man from the country, Mini Countryman..... Then, he moved to the city to play football. Mini player.... Then this type of player became redundant, so the next part of this story saw him join the development department at a talented team in 2014...

How many weeks?

Moppey will be fuming at this. He said he wanted Cripps, he outright demanded Van Rooyen. Not only did he not get Cripps or Van Rooyen, we can now establish Richmond will likely not take any further interstate players with go home factor attached with first round National Draft selections...

Just looking over some facts and figures on afltables.com. The Cats over the last two seasons have been fielding the oldest teams in the history of the competition, going back 126 years. In the 1962 and 1963 seasons, only 4 players above the age of 30 played at any stage in the whole...

Melksham and May zero AFL punishment for upsetting each other and having a public brawl. Bolton lost 20 large for protecting his mate and pregnant girlfriend from violent harassment. Violence is never the answer if you play for one club and are protecting people from attack. But it is the...

Venue: WCG - Wurundjeri Camping Ground - AKA Swinburne Centre Oval ii Time: This Saturday night, be there! Play commences at 7.30pm. Unsure when the magnificent pre-game ceremony starts but presume if you arrive and are seated by 7pm you would see it in full. Edit with thanks to AstuteTiger...

Magnificently disciplined dual performance on the weekend to only give away 22 free kicks in two whole games of football. Given the AFL average is around 22 per game, and Hawthorn were running above that average before their most recent match, the club must have put in an absolutely power of...

A relatively minor but nevertheless disturbing trend seems to be developing regarding the way Marlion Pickett is being officiated by umpires, but moreso by the MRO. Marlion Pickett is an indigenous man, and as we know has spent time at Her Majesty’s pleasure, for breaking the law when he was a...

Nice accolades for the girls. Mon Conti skipper of the 22 u22 team. And Conti Brennan and Miller in the 40 strong AA squad. Terrific recognition for Miller in particular, who I think we all enjoyed watching this season. 😁

It is time to give this guy his own thread and a bit of recognition. 😁 Just listened to his post match presser after the North game. I am a big fan of this bloke. He obviously isn’t going to dump on individuals publicly, but each week he identifies very clearly the issues the team needs to...

Here we go again….😂😂😂

*Please note I have edited this post after finding to my horror some of the figures I originally presented were incorrect. The original figures and accompanying commentary are struck through and corrections inserted. I posted this in the Salt Mine thread as some comments from opposition...

I will openly state my agenda here. At least three of Stephen Hocking’s responsibilities in his role as General Manager Football Operations are clearly conflicted by his history and links with the Geelong Football Club. The first, and most important in my opinion, is his role in directly...

History Time & Date: Approximately 3.50pm, Sunday July 7, 2020. Location: Latitude -27.486002, Longtitude 153.038832 The area generally known as Vulture Street, Brisbane. Specifically, The Wooloongabba Cricket Ground, Wooloongabba, Brisbane, Qld, Australia. The Build up: Tigers had scored...

Background As former great Richmond coach Allan Jeans once said when coaching another less consequential club, in response to being asked if his team was unpopular with other teams because they were a bit rough in their playing style: “We don’t care if they don’t like us, we just want their...

Apparently one key person at the club who has been forced by the Tigers to increase their output to anything up to 20 times the average AFL level for similar positions is getting close to cracking up under the strain, and is taking legal advice over the matter. After Premierships in the...

One of the all time great sitcoms was the unforgettable Car 54 Where Are You, starring Fred Gwynne of Herman Munster fame: But our operative question right now is Player 26 who are you? 😳

Dreyfus to Dustin Martin’s Cluseau. 😁😁 What other comparisons can we make from fictional or real characters? Poor Danger will be in an asylum if this goes on any longer. 😂😂😂

Wanted to start immediately.... One cabinet maker, experienced in huge trophy cabinets. One flag pole maker. Must specialise in poles to hoist two flags at once. Great place to work. No dickheads policy. Great team. :)

Hope you recall this roacheee Melbourne sitting 5-5, maybe on the up but not beaten any team who looks like making finals yet, but also not lost to any team that looks like missing finals. So it remains to be seen the outcome of this element of the bet. Also the other element of the bet, the...

A Bit of History “Something about Richard Tambling and Lance Franklin, Jason Dunstall 17 goals, something about the worst 45 seconds of football in history, club is a shambles....etc etc" Richmond were once seen as a laughing stock. And Hawthorn were seen as the epitome of success. I think...
