Doggies backmen were getting away with just as much as Reid & O'Brien last night. Smart.

"And while we might be envious of Geelong's 5-0 start to the year, we're confident that we can get into that position fairly soon as well.''

Sure you can Brad. Sure you can.

 

[Slattery_20]

You reckon Brad occasionalyl slips on a Geelong polo and rocks out to training just to feel cool?

 

[Kong]

Part of me feels sorry for him; he's almost certainly forced to constantly talk up the club due to how much it struggles.

Then part of me finds him annoying; get some perspective, admit you're struggling, address the issues and fix them, rather than giving spin every week. Reminds me of Knights more and more each day.

Oky mate.

I love when Bomber has this grin on his face.

Things must be looking OK down at Windy Hill

Hi all,

Just thought I'd introduce myself before starting to post here and thought that this would probably be the best thread to do it in.

I am a first time poster but long time reader (read: very long time reader), who loves the Dons just as much as most of you do too.

So, I decided to finally join this board - It's great to be here.

Cheers,

IPH

welcome mate.

Thanks, centurion!

Why the hell is Richmond favourite to beat Freemantle?

What the heck?

 

[Kong]

lol no they're not.




.... are they?

*Jumps onto betfair*
Bugger, it isn't, Freo $1.72.

 

[lamaros]

lol no they're not.

Ah wait. My brain broke. I guess not. Freemantle is 1.60-170.

Still good value for Freemantle...

 

[SirJimi05]

Freo are pretty firm favourites.

Fremantle - 1.60
Richmond - 2.30

 

[Kong]

That would've been hilarious.

Just like St Kilda starting favourite against us every year.

No, even worse than that.

Richmond have beaten North and Brisbane. Lookout, folks.

I'm still backing Freo to win this year's flag. They're currently top 4 material, and will only get better with returning players and others hitting full fitness.

speaking of the saints......

i like them this week against carlton..this is exactly the kind of game carlton lose...

coming back from the bog in sydney (tired)....all cocky cause they got a big win, they think they are a good side..... the saints are struggling, backs to the wall, time to make a stand.

i'm taking the $2.65 - i reckon its huge overs. Carlton just aint that good!

 

[Kong]

I'd love to see them choke this week.

 

[Smyth94]

You want to talk overs? How about WCE? $5? That's just absurd!! Beaten us the last four times, Bombers' ability to win two games in a row is questionable, every team that has played GCS have lost the next week...

I'm pretty nervous about Sunday TBH.

+1

All Carlton is doing is keeping 4th spot warm of us

 

[lamaros]

Tipped port, annoyed they couldn't get up in the end there.

Not on tonight's form. They need a four quarter game in Melbourne or no dice.

 

[lamaros]

Richmond and Freemantle made my earlier comments in this thread look stupid.

 

[eth-dog]

Freo cost me FML! Tempted to have a flutter on GC

 

[ghostdog]

I'm posting this because I'm stoked and I want to share this, but have nowhere here to do so.

My partner just told me that she has heard that the height of your child at 2 years, multiplied by 2, will equal the approximate height of your child when they reach adulthood. Our son turns 2 in a bit over a month. By the given formula he's set to hit a lazy 200cm, easily.
Anyone know if there's any truth to the theory though?

Regardless, I may have a key forward or a ruckman here

It may be true for some but not for others. I towered over other kids and currently stand at around 5'11-6'
