Injured Pie spotted playing basketball under a fake name - http://m.afl.com.au/news/2019-08-14/injured-pie-spotted-playing-basketball-under-a-fake-name

Love the name he used

"Injured"

So we going for Geelong this week? I think so because if they win then a close loss by WC won't be too bad as a win next week could result in 2nd still as long as Richmond beat Brisbane. If Brisbane wins WC can forget about top 2 if they lose to Richmond I think as Geelong will beat Carlton

So Richmonds reward for beating brisbane is a trip to Perth and if they lose they get a home final against geelong. Its the scenario we all saw coming when they first released the round 23 fixtures

Tail wagging the dog again . These clubs sacking coaches mid season now dont get a say in who the new coach is . Its the caretaker gets role .

Was checking out Lions form via a few portions of games. They lost to Freo, Carlton, Dons, Pies (1 more?), all of those we've beaten this season. We lost rnd 1 to them, but you'd have to think that was an aberration.
They also lost 2 games at the MCG and aren't familiar with finals pressure.
I noticed they back themselves to kick a few goals on the run from the 50 arc. Something we don't do so much.

It comes as the Pies battle turmoil at the selection table with 10 first-choice players currently sidelined through injury.

Fake claims 10 Collingwood players were involved in a betting scandal will be investigated by the AFL’s integrity department after an official Magpies request.

Love this pic of Farmer in his EP days. Legend has it he had one leg slightly longer than the other cos he grew up playing footy in Gosnells with only one boot.

I read that it was because he had polio as a kid. Close enough.

I read it in his 94 biography years ago. One boot more likely the cause over Polio.

That’s coz the one boot was too tight

How is wearing one boot playing footy going to make one of your legs longer?
The mind boggles, he had polio as a kid.

It can throw your hip alignment out I guess which could make one leg appear shorter.

It may change your gait, and unless he was wearing one boot all day even that's doubtful, it's not going to make your leg longer. It's well documented he had polio I don't know why people need an alternative reason.
Anyway he was a bloody champ, him coming to West Perth when I was kid was like superman had come to play for my team. Love him.

Just pulling your leg buddy don't get too boggled about it.

 

[Dazzler9]

Pulling someone's leg might make it longer!

 

[DanWCE]

Pulling someone's leg might make it longer!

The middle leg probably

I am confident that we will beat the tigers - been feeling it all week. Go you good things!

Brett Deliedio retiring end of this season.

Like Ryan Griffin, left his club to move to GWS to win a flag, awkward.

Its called the Nathan Buckley Murphy's law lifetime achievement award that you get when you retire having not won one.

Leaving a club to win a flag and totally missing out has a long and rich tradition. Remember Leigh Colbert?
