Who's the disgraced player manager who's been boasting of getting $1k a week for providing items about footy players to the hun's gossip columns? Toot toot!

He posted a what’s app message of somebody saying something, um, unwoke about ladies, nightclub toilets and co-mingling

Agree. My mum is a South Melbourne supporter who has lived in Sydney for the past 40 years and reckons quite a few of those she sits around at the SCG are are ex leaguies who abandoned the game because of Super League

The AFL is pretty good at identifying talent. I've been involved in junior footy for 15 years with my kids, and the guns get spotted in under 10s and then ushered in to the right pathways (including sports scholarships at private schools) and are strongly encouraged to stick with footy over...

Union in Melbourne is a private school thing, particular amongst the Grammar schools. I think Scotch and Melb Grammar have some kind of annual Hogwarts grudge match. League is an islander thing, so tends to be based where those communities are ie. Dandenong/ Altona etc. Touch rugby seems to be...

The jockey rumour that somebody put up last night got this thread back on track too. Not surprised it got deleted soon after.

Nah, basketball and footy are complimentary. And few basketballers under 190cm can make it. Plus most of the leagues around the world are rinky dink, have small rosters and have the whole world trying to get a spot.

I lived I FNQ for quite a few years. They're very parochial - Cairns v Townsville etc. I can't see FNQ bonding with Darwin for a common cause. Footy is popular in Cairns, but is either loathed or ignored elsewhere. FNQ tends to be very poor as well, plus the population, although growing turns...

That will be the death knell for the sport. Turning fringe sports into Olympic events kills them. See surfing and skateboarding. Lame.

Richmond would be better off encouraging existing coaching staff to stay out of gym, avoid skinny jeans and to navigate away from siren songs......

Please leave this holy place and never return.

TGO expanding conceptual boundaries as always. Some might think hanging pictures on a door frame is unusual, maybe even a touch common, but TGO is teaching us that walls don't really keep us in. It is for us to find ways out of them. THINK, outside the square. PBUH Monk-like, he seems to...

I was working in an MCG kitchen that day in the old Olympic stand. I still remember the pots and pans shaking during the last quarter, such was the noise. Great game of football

Not sure being an "Olympic Sport" carries the same cache it once did. The Olympics now are mostly garbage. Surprised cities still bid for them.

Ex-pat Victorians got into Cairns decades ago and set up the local comp and bought/established Cazaly stadium, which is pretty much in the centre of town. The comp has since thrived and attracted a few ex AFL players over the years. The local rugby boyos still try and dunk on AFL, but when I...

soccer is just boring. I get that clubs have fanbases but the fact is unless you're watching elite comp it's just plodders trying to smack the ball in from outside the square.

and another reason why divisions can't happen. imagine if Melbourne or Sydney got relegated.

on the plus side, western United can probably get away with a small stadium should the Tarneit proposal ever get off the ground.

this may be the greatest burn in history. you win, Jordan's Disappointing Brother. can somebody close the Internet.

incidentally, I reckon we're close to the bags under his eyes descending to below his nostrils, around the edges of his mo. hang dogs are cool

that kid who he misnamed should just go with it: his birth name is no longer

Transubtiation has long needed an update for millennials. I know TGO transcends all religions and perhaps all Gods (being one himself) but a tinny being cracked at St Peter's may be the way for the Pope to draw back his lapsed flock. God bless you TGO - assuming you're not God. and if you are...

what I find amusing is that soccer thinks it brings Australia together when almost everybody - me included, and I find soccer boring - barracks for wherever they think their roots are during the world cup. go Ireland, or maybe Germany, or maybe England. I forget.

the standing room restrictions are what does it for me. Being forced upstairs means I think twice

what did krakouer do again? was it belt a bloke outside a pub or worse?

please post often. you're great

really? I seem to recall rugby in my Vic aps school going back to foundation. granted it was considered a sport for thicko toffs, but it was never banned

few of these kids should spend less time participating in lame AFL pr campaigns and more time on their ball drop

Actually I said "Australian football" for your benefit. What should I call it Pippen (who was a dud without Jordan btw)?

I had two boys play soccer too until about 12. The also played footy all the way from Auskick and still do and they've just moved in to seniors. They dropped out of soccer for a few reasons: it was expensive and a lot of the culture of the clubs were expressly hostile to Australian football...
