I can’t believe you didn’t know there was never a centre square.
feeling very, very old now.....

And between no Centre Square and getting one, we had the Diamond

Like this post, you know you want to.

And in the VFA it was just two lines across the ground, because they played a 16 a side game and had no wingers.

One step forward.

Climbing Uluru is now a 'serious offence' as closure kicks in

Nearly 34 years to the day since Uluru was handed back to the Anangu traditional owners, their wishes will now be enforced by law, and anyone caught ascending the culturally significant site will face thousands in fines.

It’s 5 hours since this “dropped” and I still have no idea what it is or when it happens.
What an exciting competition.

I just had a fantastic idea.... a bolt from the blue... I got it partially by looking at the photo on the membership site..

Why not put together a boy band with the high profile guys coming out of contract next year. The band would:

1. Jordan De Goey
2. Brodie Grundie
3. Darcy Moore
4. Scott Pendlebury
5. Jayden Stephenson *

* Stevo is in the group to appeal to the under 5's.

The guys wouldn't need any singing talent because you dont have to be able to sing to be a singer - the key is technology. Obviously a few dancing lessons would be needed - we can use that ex-dancer that does the stretching routines with Ben Reid. Which is another advantage to forming the group - the reduction in hamstring injuries.

I suggest a tour each year during the season break and the high altitude chamber can be converted into a recording studio to lay down the vocals....

If we get it all set up by a creative accountant, I think the boys could make a squillion outside the TPP...

Roy Morgan did a survey of footy supporters....... here is an interesting extract from the 2018 survey.....



Collingwood supporters agree highly with the following statements:

• ‘I was born to shop’
• ‘My pet is a fussy eater’
• ‘I feel less safe than I used to’
• ‘I enjoy buying magazines’
• ‘I drink less beer than I used to’

Richmond supporters agree highly with the following statements:

• ‘It is important to have a full social life’
• ‘I feel comfortable giving my full details over the Internet’
• ‘I often read Internet pop-up ads’
• ‘I always read the business section of the newspaper’
• ‘I drink more premium beer now than I used to’

Sydney Swans supporters agree highly with the following statements:

• ‘I love to do as many sports as possible’
• ‘I’m concerned about my cholesterol level’
• ‘TV advertising often gives me something to talk about’
• ‘I like to drink wine with my meals’
• ‘Imported beer is a waste of money’

West Coast Eagles supporters agree highly with the following statements:

• ‘The Government is doing a good job running the country’
• ‘I often enter competitions run by newspapers, magazines or radio stations’
• ‘I don’t have time to spend cooking’
• ‘Beer is often a good way to start the night’
• ‘I sometimes buy drinks that boost my energy’

“We love our horses”
”our horses welfare always comes first”
These and other utterances have been heard since the 7:30 report of a few weeks ago.
So now, in the interest of the horses health, the authorities do CT scans which reveal weaknesses in horses that may lead to injury or death if forced to race.

Melbourne Cup drama as Marmelo, Ispolini ruled out of race after CT scans

Furious connections demand answers from Racing Victoria after two fancied horses were withdrawn from the Melbourne Cup over fears they have incomplete leg fractures.

www.abc.net.au

So why do the “lovers” of their horses now say they will explore legal action to be able to force the horses to race?
Just another example of the money being more important than the life of the animal. All in the name of entertainment and money making.
Dirty, dirty industry.

i read the article on daniher by dynamic damo. Damo was scathing in his statements after the trade period about how sydney had let daniher down by not getting the deal done.

Not surprising, the story has changed now that dynamic damo has spoken to Tom harley and has been given the inside story from the swans side.

The lesson is that clubs need to be mindful of dynamic damo's bitchiness whenever he is left out of the loop. He immediately veers into a path of righteous morality and sits judgementally on the right hand side of god, casting down stones of all those who seek to undermine his position of gatekeeper of everything AFL

Well there's your first mistake right there.

Stephenson is contracted until the end of 2021.

Guilty as charged. My only defence is that it's difficult to go to the AFL site and not read a dynamic damo article. And I have to admit that I was interested how he was going to "anal eyes" the daniher saga after he did his post trade period snotty routine on the Swans....I wasnt surprised when he backtracked in the article and painted Harley as pure as first snow. So it's either read a damo article or watch the cricket.

Stephenson is contracted until the end of 2021.

so we need to move fast...

Hi all. Pardon the intrusion, but just wondering if anyone has a list of the top 10 from the 2012 Copeland Trophy? There's an article online but can't get through because of the paywall.

Thanks.
