When the AFL drove the bus over Carlton early this century for salary cap cheating, they soon learned they had actually self-inflicted a bigger penalty on themselves, by nearly killing one of the bigger money earners in the competition.
And the lesson was well learnt.
Then we saw the...
I can see gil the dill and the new dill seeing this and think it's a good idea if you get extra points for running and bouncing the ball through an interchange bench.
I really like this thread.
The teams are incredible, and each one makes me debate my own choices each time someone puts a credible one up.
It also reminds me how much I love following the Kangaroos in Rugby League, and how sad SOO seems dead in the water.
Following the Kangaroos is where I...
I've never understood Aussie Rules fans bagging soccer players for staging when players in this game have been doing it for decades.
There are degrees though, and I guess the rewards in soccer are far greater if you can get a player sent off or "win" a penalty.
But it's not just embarrassing...

It's a bit of smart marketing giving something to get more down the track.

Yeah maybe. Many a word said in jest. But imagine a kid on a long car trip, sitting in the back seat of another family's car, and the other kid is sitting there not sharing their chocolate.
Seems trivial as adults, but for kids, I can understand him not liking that, and that then help shaping...
I think it's TW's joke. Sorry for details/omissions/errors because I was only half listening but he said Hawker's parents used to give him a lift from Dimboola and he and Glen would sit in the back. And Glen wouldn't share his chocolate.
