Not saying that, saying making a call on the admin and culture of gws is too premature for comparison

I can live with that.

When you look at some of the people on the AA selection panel it wouldn't surprise me if Cyril gets in over Wingard. Hopefully Tredrea can get him over the line.

The All Australian selection panel is Gillon McLachlan (chairman), Kevin Bartlett, Luke Darcy, Mark Evans, Danny Frawley, Glen Jakovich, Cameron Ling, Matthew Richardson and Warren Tredrea

With Ling in there, Charlie Cameron is a certainty over both Rioli AND Wingard......

Do you mean the 18yo kid in his first season who had played about 5 games and was good-naturedly hanging shit on Williams for making an utter tool of himself and copping heaps of shit from Clarkson and the team leadership after the game?

I remember that.

Yeah, you're right. Surprising how a bit of time can colour your memories.
I was wrong, he's alright.

Needs more Cameron Guthrie selected.

Jahryyn jacky before all others for AA.

Hahaaha has anyone else seen how they unveiled #malcoms statue? Holy shit. What elitist bullshit that was. A marquee, closed off, a big podium for #malcom to speak from, TVs.

Not even on game day!

Adelaide city councilors in attendance of course.

I reckon they had all that for Russell's unveiling last week. Was outside the East Gate.

Port v Hawks 2010 at Footy Park on now.

 

[Doctor Feel]

Roger James has retired from football completely after spending the last 6 years at barossa districts as playing coach - winning multiple premierships.

Currently owns an earthmoving business, I asked if he was retring so he could come consult with port on skills. Needless to say, I'm not confident.

That was a good game.

 

[Janey]

That was a good game.

It was, but if there's anyone left that needs convincing that AO is streets ahead of AAMI, well...........

 

[PeacefulWarrior]

I've just gone off bananas, so i'm happy with this

If everyone ate more bananas the world would be a better place

It was open to the public, even if we did have to listen to Olsen harp on for half an hour.

Can't see them doing anything different for Malcom.

Some of my favourite extracts from Graham Cornes' assessment of women's football:

Women playing top-level AFL just doesn’t look right, says Graham Cornes

“WHAT about their boobs?” It seemed a reasonable question from my wife who is not always reasonable when we are discussing sport.

After all, some chest marks can really hurt.

Impressively, more people watched the game than those who tuned in to watch Adelaide thrash a dismal Essendon. The national audience peaked at 501,000, which would cause any television executive to sit up and take notice.

There was no doubt about it. They were good — for girls.

They had the skills, the balance the fitness, the aggression and the competitive edge that defines good sportspeople but there was something amiss. It just didn’t look right! Like women boxers or mixed martial arts combatants there was a discord to the image and the action.

Perhaps it was the outfits. They wore boys’ footy jumpers and shorts. Not particularly flattering.

You could never say that about the Diamonds, our netballers who had just claimed the world championship.

I have a banana tree, it is indestructible and grows back in like 2 months.

I don't see how these QLDers find it so difficult to grow them.

Grey Ham Corns is onto something. It just doesn't look like women's sport unless I can ogle their bums effortlessly. Take em out of the men's gear and put them in lingerie or sumfin.

If I had to choose only 1 food for a week it would be a banana.

And it has absolutely nothing to do with the shape.

What a sexist pig.

 

[Troopsy]

- jerk
- arseh*le
- campaigner
- hates Port
- loves Crows
- terrible media personality

And now sexist.
Anything else on the list I forgot about?

 

[El_Scorcho]

I'm absolutely certain we already knew that Graham Cornes was sexist but I can't remember the exact incident or article.

 

[TheFVK]

A national embarrassment.

 

[HighBudget]

I find watching Women play football quiet boring. But that doesn't mean they shouldn't play it and it doesn't look wrong at all

 

[Portology]

- jerk
- arseh*le
- campaigner
- hates Port
- loves Crows
- terrible media personality

And now sexist.

So the patron saint of all attitudes Crow continues to give our marketing/sponsorship folks gifts comparable to those he gave our recruiting folks

We should wish he writes more such drivel.
