During the telecast they mentioned St Kilda once had 40-odds behinds.
Nah, I think it was Hawthorn kicking 25.41 against St Kilda.

66 scoring shots- it's barely believable.

I doubt we will ever see a more weird scoreline than the Fitzroy/Geelong game of ye olde times- Geelong 19.8.122 against Fitzroy's 2.27.39; yes, an 83 point win despite two less scoring shots.

It's a freakish outlier. WADA really should investigate.

DAAAAMO... DA-Eh-Eh-Mo. Daylight come and me want go **** off

  • Adelaide are doing well and if they keep winning football matches they may triumph
  • Daniel Rich surely has a tag-busting clause in his contract
  • In which Damien Barrett speculates on what it would be like to have testicles
  • Holden must condone the drowning of female women if it wishes to stay relevant
  • IT'S A FOOTBALL THING IT'S A FOOTBALL THING HE'S TALKING ABOUT A FOOTBALL THING IN THE ESSENDON BIT AUNTIE EM AUNTIE EM IT'S A TWISTER IT'S A TWISTER
  • Pavlich is a good player
  • There's been a whip-round at AFL house and they've managed to rustle up some ****s to give about Mitch Clark
  • In-between media commitments, Luke Hodge has been, like, really wanting to play football recently but he hasn't been able to.
  • GWS have got hotels on Park Lane and Mayfair and have all the utilities as well
  • Awful team Gold Coast will not beat great team Hawthorn
  • Vince's non-ban is a dubious prospect
  • North Melbourne are a dubious prospect and there is nothing else to speak about this week (NB: The pustule wrote an editorial on Brad Scott but who ******* gives a shit honestly)
  • Port Adelaide will face tough games against teams placed higher than them
  • Could I get a fork, please?
  • If the goalkickers kick goals then the team might win
  • Tippett is injured and Sydney would probably prefer that he wasn't
  • Who ******* cares
  • Except for the ones that were worse, that was Beveridge's worst performance as coach

I can't believe it. Damo's actually sort of half praised something (Fantasia) connected to Essendon.

I was absolutely dead certain he would have a crack at us about the pathetic attendance at the GWS game instead.

I wonder if he was given a subtle tap on the shoulder to tone down the blatant troll just a little, after last week's venom-laden effort.

Doesn't he go for North? If so, there's you reason for never having a crack at Essendon about crowd figures.

Would it be considered bad taste to suggest the tap should be with an axe :eek:

There was a time that Hawthorn weren't great in front of goal. Good to know.

Really hope the AFL aren't looking at the NBA going 'oh shit, we need to get that in draft trading happening'. Adds nothing.

Oh, the guy that Milwaukee selected with the 40th pick in the draft 10 minutes ago has been traded to the Warriors for undisclosed cash considerations? GAMECHANGER

Nah, it's amazing, prob wouldn't work for the AFL and I doubt they'd ever bring it into the AFL but I love how it adds to the drama as far as the NBA draft goes.

Agreed...
although can't go the way of exchanging picks for cash but. Needs to only be for picks and players

regardless, whether to increase player mobility (via adding more time for trades or a mid season draft) should not be based on whether it excites fans or not.

Saw Michael Barlow joking around with Sidebottom after the siren went. Aren't players meant to be devastated after a loss? Twenty minutes time they'll span into the rooms and see the Docker players staring at the carpet like their world has fallen in.
