I seen a reference on another thread to WoW Jones and the fabled W W butt cheek tattoos. Was chatting with him some years back and he was tongue in cheek about the rumour unwilling to commit whether it was true or not but content to let others decide for themselves. I had not the slightest...

Finishing top need to play 3 or 4 games for the cup. Finish 8th need to win 4 games for the cup. Handicap for not finishing higher up is playing away games ... So taking out my crystal balls ... if the stars align. Collingwood first final ... at the G, Melbourne having lost the their...

At seasons start our draw was about mid range, as the season has developed teams we play twice have had mixed results and some of the ones we play now only once have become movers and shakers. On our double ups, West Coast, Essendon and Port, who we might have expected to be challenging are...

I noticed a thread appear and my first reaction was to go on the attack, until I realized it dated to 2016 ... It made me reflect on some of the posts and dummy spits I have had here through the years which I would not particularly like to see resurface. At one point I wrote a post about...

Apparently, the soft cap on staff is not like the hard cap on teams. You can still have more staff just that the AFL will tax clubs if they do (something financially successful clubs like Collingwood and Hawthorn have put up with for years and something which has only recently been relevant...

Tongue in cheek on a serious topic. The SA government went into overdrive to make sure they did not have the same balz up we had here in Victoria and I salute them. But what really impressed me was how South Australians emptied all the bottle shops in around 12 hours. Forget the rush to the...

I am hearing the old 'Marlboro country' theme from the Magnificent Seven played with the only comment being at the end with 'You know what to do!' I mean maybe it means something else but I am old enough to remember when tobacco advertising was allowed and that theme is imbedded in my memory...

Collingwood has just given Adelaide a touch up and Geelong has let us down badly losing by a point to Brisbane. Second is pretty much impossible now. Its possible we play Geelong in the first final and they thoroughly deserve not having a home final after their pathetic efforts in the past 7...

We are nearing full strength after a wretched year of injuries and its happening just in time. As I watched our team consolidating I wondered how it would compare to our recent most successful team. 2017 Premiership 22 B: Rance, Astbury, Grimes HB: Houli, McIntosh, B. Ellis C: Prestia...

Superb athlete yet flawed genius when Alex Rance was learning his trade he tended to have the odd brain fart leaving us bemused. Dimma used to joke about Alex Rance moments in his press conferences. He turned into the best backman of our generation. I am glad Noah Balta is getting a good...

We are 5 games in and I heard in the 45 games there have been 23 favourites winning and 22 upsets. Are some clubs more affected than others by runner restrictions. Coaches messages and feedback from those watching the game from off the field no longer gets to players as quickly. In the...

Usually I am all for the Victorian clubs to dominate positions in the 8, better one of us than one of those outsiders who have invaded our VFL, but this year I have come to the conclusion the more interstate clubs in the finals the better. Consider ... we will finish on top, it gives us...

You guys are showing heaps, it must be encouraging to see how the kids are coming along. The what if's, Yeo and Doherty are All Australian calibre, Polec would get a game and be an important player at any side, Longer would still be likely on the senior list and Karnezis well we will never...

Sick of waiting for the AFL site to do their predictor, they must have lost the ladder sponsorship because they had this up after a few rounds in 2017. Not my work, much thanks to Max Barry. https://predictor.squiggle.com.au/

Both heavyweight clubs have been recalcitrant about updating their membership numbers for 2018. A 'reliable source' indicated that inconsistent weather brought on by climate change has decimated the hamster population in Australia which has greatly affected membership renewals for both clubs...

It's weird, all the media is on what different clubs can do to be successful in 2018 but we seem to be out of the loop. Nobody is talking us down but its like we are at the top of the mountain so lets not talk about them lets talk about what everyone else can do to get to the top. I admit I...

Just nice to revisit this one and listen to Dimma's positivity when we were all feeling a little low.

Just picked mine up at JB Hi Fi with a 20% discount. Now if they would just bring out the Tiger-Thon box set, was way too much for my Foxtel unit to record. Also 2 weeks back i got a carton of the premiership beer from my local bottlo, after the initial rush people stopped asking he said. No...

Dogs and Tigers have won the last 2 premierships by overwhelming their opposition with relentless pressure. Beating sides which technically are better equipped with highly skilled players but unable to handle the extreme pressure of multiple players hunting in packs to tackle and force...

https://www.sen.com.au/news/2017/10/13/i-don-t-find-it-at-all-helpful-balme-whacks-trade-period/ Note his last comment. The two-time premiership player says the Tigers are "working hard behind the scenes" to bring in reinforcements to Punt Road. Sounds like we are working on something ...

In 2016 I remember much being made of Hawthorn shutting down Nat Fyfe with their ferocious pressure, clips showed 3 Hawthorn players mugging Fyfe every time he touched the ball. Now the Bulldogs followed by Richmond have made this an art form. Every time any opponent touches the ball they are...

3.20 in What is your favourite team .... Adelaide .... no ....

Tiger Talls all in the backline ... just an interesting observation We likely have the tallest backline in the AFL with 5 regulars over 192 cm ... Astbury 195 Rance 194 Grimes 193 McIntosh 192 Broad 192 We have one forward over 190 in Jack at 195, and, The other active late season...

I can't see anyone we need. We have a special game style and we can continue to improve on it. An extra tall as insurance as a forward ruck but otherwise we are still going to be very competitive in 2018. It is an opportunity to consolidate, maybe tweak a few contracts perhaps adding a year...

In those brief flashes over the past few weeks when I allowed myself to wonder what would happen if we won I would also find myself a little uncertain what happens next if we do. After years of looking at the mountain sure that we could never reach the top even if we did climb up a long way I...

This was going to be a smart arse dig about Collingwood dropping the premiership cup but things are never that um black and white. He had been around Collingwood awhile without having the impact he did with us. What I can say is Balmy was heaven sent for us at Richmond. He was the pebble...

Adelaide and Richmond into the grand final after having to 'endure' the curse of the double bye. Last year the top side Sydney rebounded against an out of form Geelong, the extra bye had no affect on the result. Geelong fell in against Hawthorn and Sydney started as favourites The Bulldogs...

I am the follower afraid to be excited. I didn't go in the MCC pool for grand final tickets because I may not have gone to watch 2 neutral clubs and was sure I would not go to watch Richmond if they got in the Grand Final. I have waited already for both finals to finish before checking to see...

Let the Grand FInal be played on its merits not on the interference of the AFL. The AFL has already proven itself duplicitous with the CEO saying on AFL 360 a decision on jumpers would be made in conjunction with the clubs, instead they just made the decision within minutes of the final siren...
