I feel like I have been let down.

Did Dingle just return and no one else notice?

You need sugar to live. I assume he lets the guys drink Gatorade/muscle supplements.

Pro bodybuilder and nutritional scientist jim stoppani recommends glycogen restoration post workout via wonka pixy sticks.

Everything has its place.

So that's where you've been.

That's it. I'm not scoffing at the fact people are saying you shouldn't drink 3 cokes and eat a Berliner every morning, just this trend of any and all sugar being likened to sweet asbestos.

Just slides right back in, like he was never gone.

It appears moreso that you have been let out or released

They did offer 2 firsts didn't they? I thought that was the story early in trade period. The Bennell trade happened after GWS refused the offer.

Yeah, they blinked way too early though and off loaded one of them for Bennell who they really didn't need to give up a first round pick for. Had they kept that pick, who knows what may have happened with McCarthy. There's a reason why all of the trade week ratings had them dead last.

2003 Prelim on FF right now.

A truly bizarre game. Just 20 points in it with 10 minutes left in Q3, Paxman playing across half-forward, Peter Burgoyne playing out of the goalsquare, Monty playing loose in the backline and Stevens/Carr/Kane getting absolutely isolated and smashed by a cavalcade of Collingwood spuds.

Pickett, Shaun, Schofield and Che running between the arcs like unregistered dogs. Forward structure non-existent despite Tredrea, Chad and Lade all present.

Allan Scott may have ultimately been wrong, but Williams performance in the 2003 finals series was utterly stupefying.

We'll never know, but if we'd managed to get past Collingwood, would we have challenged Brisbane a week later? The Lions were awesome in that grand final.

There is no nutritional requirement for refined sugar.

Burgo says it's "evil"

Have we ever truly had a thread on whether Choco could actually coach or not? Nobody else has ever given him a gig.

 

[Nemisis]

I was sitting in row M behind the goals when Ebert took that shot, and even though I was nowhere near in a direct line with his aim, I could see before he kicked it that he was not going to get that goal. I could see him making the effot to get it onto the correct aiming point and failing.

I think Brett have a pain killing injection in his ankle that day?

Choco could coach alright ... just wouldn't listen

Don't the players scoff down 'snakes' and jelly babies post game?

Didn't he go to Sydney?

I mean the Crows Talia

My memory of that game, having not seen it since that day, had us being steamrolled by one of those magical Collingwood performances of 2002-3 despite them being wildly inferior man-for-man.

But honestly, the way the team was configured in that third quarter with it relatively close as the Pies began to kick away and put it to bed was borderline treasonous.

Here is a Port Adelade team with a 19-5 record on the season, set out like a fourth division team attempting to vanquish Manchester United in an FA Cup tie on Football Manager, attempting to win by hoodwinking the match engine on quirk alone.

Collingwood, while incredibly efficient at profiting from our wastefulness/turnovers, were as ordinary as Brisbane made them look the week after, with the difference being the Lions didn't set out their stall with Mal Michael playing across HFF, Lynch leading to the wing, Shaun Hart playing full-forward and Voss/Black allowed to be swarmed by Woewodin/Licuria/Holland/O'freaking'Bree.

I am sure that sometimes Choco forgot that Aussie Rules goals don't have crossbars.

Two things from that game, is that female cows supporter at 3.08 ever going to live that finger down? And the umpires did the right thing, not just by us but football in general, by not paying shepherding against Cassisi when Wingard took the mark. Although Cassisi was in the contest he had his arm slightly entangled with Petrenko. I have seen those paid.

I was there, it has a special spot on my list of poo-like games. MCG info message shortly (minutes?) before the game started saying Primus and Francou withdrawn. Nick Stevens playing as if already in the Collingwood colours he expected to wear in 2004, IMO seemed to be defending against Tredrea for patches. Neon Leon Davis doing to us what he always did to us but to no-one else. The abusive gloating we copped afterwards is like nothing I've seen before or afterwards, sustained all the way to the Punt Rd train station. Our 2013 elimination final win had special significance for me, a pity I piked out on going.

Titus O'Reily's Easily the Worst AFL Draft Preview Ever is the best footy article this year. There, I've said it.

Spoiler: sample

PICK 9: GOLD COAST — AARON FRANCIS (West Adelaide)

Aaron has an abundance of self-confidence, which is something we all aspire to but dislike in others. Why do we all do that? Want something that will ultimately make us a source of ridicule?

I should add that Aaron’s reported self-confidence relates to football and may be well justified.

I don’t think he has self-confidence in things like say, open heart surgery or civil engineering. That would just be arrogance.

Thanks. Still brings tears to my eyes. What a game.
