We are constantly told by the media to not “Shoot the Messenger” and this is a fair enough request, However if I was in command and had a messenger that consistently: • Makes up stories • Reports opinions as fact • Gets stories wrong by not checking them against facts • Thinks that their...

Caro's article would be something like this...... Original here..http://www.theage.com.au/afl/afl-news/tigers-to-claw-out-of-debt-20101117-17xkx.html RICHMOND is about to unveil a bold plan to not only eliminate its $4.5 million debt but to also build a war chest to launch the club as a...

There are a few reports in the press today that the AFL is keen to push for Sunday twighlight games next year - start at about 5.00pm finish about 8.00pm Kangaroos chief executive Geoff Walsh said a club might take the chance to try to create their own niche on Sunday night. "It wouldn't...

15 overs, 1 maiden, 0/51 on what was meant to be a green top against the worst side in the world!!

GAWN 10 off 28 balls!!

Does anyone else think that Mick's 300th is going to be one of the biggest letdowns for a 300th in history?? Here's a bloke who was an absolute legend at one club, best and fairest, team of the century, premierships and is now barely running araound in another club's jumper that he has little...

Anyone interested? Can honestly say that I'll be having a peek this weekend to see how they go Cheers Gonzo

Just a general question regarding the setup of bigfooty Haven't been posting much during summer but as the season is about to start and I'll start having a dip, so I'm not sure if this has changed at all but anyway: I'm sure there used to be a little black dot that used to appear in the...

Carlton Press Release: Statement from John Elliot It gives me great pleasure to announce that not only has Denis Pagan joined us from the Kangaroos but has managed to bring with him a new sponsor to the club from his previous team. We at Carlton in yet another coup have managed to snare...

from The Australian (17/9/02) TWO phone calls just after 3pm yesterday told the Kangaroos what they half expected but what they desperately needed confirmed: the AFL Commission had agreed to a financial injection of up to $3 million for the club. Just when and how the club gets the money...

The backpedalling that is! Now that Duck has made his choice and publicly declared his interest in joining the Crows watch for every other team (and their supporters) that were interested fall over themselves in coughing up reasons as to why they really didn't want Carey at their club in the...

From AFL.com.au The Kangaroos have made three changes to their team for Friday night’s crucial match against Hawthorn at the MCG, recalling Drew Petrie, Corey Jones and Shannon Motlop. David King is out suspended and Saverio Rocca will miss with his knee injury, while Jason McCartney has...

At one stage on Saturday the forward line was: Archer, McCartney, Blakey and Pickett!! Not a bad looking backline if I do say so myself! Bizarre! Cheers Gonzo

Darky Speaking of beer (we weren't but that's beside the point :)) I ran across a little bar in Church Street Richmond (just up the road from the Swan Hotel) called Der Raum. It specialises in German beers and has a truckload!! It's a bit on the exxy side but may be worth a look! Had a...

Evidently we picked up David Bourke (Richmond) in the trade for what I'm not sure!!! Hopefully for * all!!! Sheesh why didn't we chase Daffy as well!!! Cheers Gonzo

Evidently (according to Channel 10 news) Michael Easy - ex AFL Investigations Officer - has been appointed as the Kangas new CEO replacing Greg Miller Cheers Gonzo

Fair Dinkum!!

I see in the paper today that EVIDENTLY one of the reasons that Damien Drum got the flick were that some board members were jacked off with Drum's decision to target Belly. Thought he was too slow and needed a speedster in the midfield! Wasn't this the same team that fell over themselves to...

Anyone turning up? I thought I'd wander along and have a look PS A small tip: If Darky says yes then get there early before it's all gone ;) See ya's there! Cheers Gonzo

Denis has had a good run over the last 7/8 years and we've managed to finish top four at least in his entire tenure. We've all seen and benefitted from his coaching skills. (esp 96 and 99) I personally think this period will prove how good a coach Denis is. Coaching a successful side is...

From the Roos website: Kangaroos captain Wayne Carey will miss at least the first two weeks of the 2001 AFL Season after scans today revealed a tear in his right calf muscle. Carey, who received a kick to the same calf in the Ansett Cup semi final clash against Port Adelaide, sustained the...

Just read on the roos site that Cartman has a buttock injury, now I hate it when anyone (whoever they play for) gets injured but.......Calthorpe-Buttocks-Injury - Scarey Stuff And the funniest thing is they reckon it's only a 1 week thing!!!! Pffffft! Cheers Gonzo

According to www.news.com.au Channel 7 has decided not to pursue the rights for AFL footy from season 2002 to 2006. I presume that this means that the consortium has gained the rights!! Heeeeeeeeeere's EDDIE!!! Cheers Gonzo

Anyone know if he got picked up by another team or has he gone to the VFL/ammos??? What an absolute waste that was, the kid had great ball getting ability - pretty ordinary getting rid of it though - but the ability to get the hard ball is right up there in the skills list (or should be!!!)...

For the past couple of years the local pundits have been rabbiting on how Australia has enough depth in cricket to field two competitive sides. Last nights performance proved how ridiculous this belief was. A team that can't get to 50 overs or even break 150 runs is a pretty ordinary team in...

Heard an interview the other night with Mark Williams, he said that they were pretty keen on trying to entice Doc Scholl out of retirement for one more year (couldn't get in touch, Doc was on a housebout up the Murray!!) Personally I think Scholl would be taking the piss out of Port if he...

Anyone heard anything? Types, timetable, cost etc. I think they came out about November last year. Cheers Gonzo

sainter Good to see the 66 GF got it's obligatory run on the footy marathon!!! Mind you I lost a dozen crownies after betting that it would be one of the first two shown - those b@stards at channel 7 can't do anything right!!

For those of us that can't get to the G (and good luck to those that do have a ticket) where is your favourite place to watch the game (home, round your mates place - the one with the 100cm telly, the pub, the club rooms etc) and where will you be this year. I love going to a pub to watch the...

Daniel Bradshaw pulled out of the Prelim final against Carlton on the weekend to be with his girlfriend at the birth of their first child (she went into labour at about 10.00 am in the morning of the final) This is a scenario that gets bought up from time to time in bars etc, and the question...
