The great man has passed on. He knew The Soviet Union had to change and lead the way for people to at last speak more freely in his part of world and eventually lead the end of the Berlin Wall and The Iron Curtain. Sorry to hear his passing. Over 90 years old is a good innings. I remember him...

Not seen much poker recently but nice to see it pop up on Kayo. Will watch replay later as footy on now. https://kayosports.com.au/event/sport!poker/event-world-series-of-poker-day-4!138198

Son of a dictator wins. Cannot believe they trust this corrupt family. Incredible.

Every once in a while I look at ladder and see some teams down bottom and mentally note, it almost like the reverse to another era where same few teams were basically at other end of ladder. Right now seeing North, Hawks and Pies down the bottom it reminds me of the opposite of when I first...

Just seen this pop up on youtube. It is how Friday night football started out in the league. First time a game for premiership points in real season began was round 1 of 1985. Back then the only in season games covered live on tv were Swans games from SCG every second Sunday and the grand final...

For those of us that lived through the football in the 1980's and saw the transition of so much of football clubs and leagues in next couple of decades I wonder if we can imagine an alternate footy world where things took an alternate path as if two worlds branched off in reality. Suspend every...

I watched one of the Terminator sequels last week. Then saw a bit of Godfather 2 sequel on SBS and also saw Last Blood on streaming too. Made me think about the whole trend of movie sequels that came into being and probably now spawned something worse again of movie franchises. The first...

Just so no confusion of what this thread is about, back in 2006 the age rules were a little different so the pool in the actual year of 2006 for AFL was not actually of guys born for same year like they do now of limit it to no younger than 18. Those still 17 at end of year could still be...

As someone that had Kayo Streaming service over summer I am happy with it but it is really hard to find videos of things you want to watch but gone off main page. Seems no search engine. I thought for those of us that use it and want to find replays of our own games on there or specific...

Time for Crippa and Fisher glorified training drill funtime.

Thought start genuine poll of what consider worthy candidates.

Just read this weird thing in Hawthorn's history before joining the league in 1925. I was curious how they went in their VFA years. When they were playing in VFA in 1922 their coach was Bill Walton, but there was a game that season he is playing for Port Melbourne and coaching Hawthorn at the...

Lots of views from different fans. Just curious of poll results of broader section of football fans than just Crow and Carlton followers. What is fair trade for him? Pick 15 ? pick 19, pick 23, pick 27 or even 30 plus ?

Interested to see poll result on this. When players kick backwards in backline it is generally to maintain possession of ball for their team or kill time off clock when you got a 1 to 2 goal lead late in a game and do not want to risk other team having any chance of getting ball and scoring...

It just hit me that for about 40 years Ian Chappell has been on our tv's in one form or another covering the cricket on 9. What other commentators have you always heard since you been following one of our major sports, year in year out ? Sadly Drew Morphett passed on last year and I remember...

Some of us witnessed some brilliant Test sides in our time that seemed clear number 1 in world for a period of time. For the sake of this virtual 4 Team SuperTest Series I am thinking of the great West Indies teams I was in awe of as a kid. Then around early 2000's the Aussie side with basically...

Curious as to how often a captain win the toss, puts opposition into bat and it goes so wrong they never even bowl the other team out and opposing captain gets to make the choice to declare himself. Anyone know how often this happens ? May need a stats guru to answer.

With the careers of Travis Cloke and Andrew Swallow ended it feels a reasonable enough time to revisit a pool of players that born the same year and would have been in the same draft pool together as turning 18 year olds in the same year like the AFL have been doing since 2009. Just so no...

Had a go at a series of retro drafts to cover most of the eras of football I have watched from before drafts even began. I started watching from 1978 so started back at players turning 18 in 1975 with the assumption by the time I was watching the majority of them were playing senior footy if any...

10 matches each to play. Wooden spoon looking a three horse race with Lions the clear favourites. However a lot can happen in 10 weeks of football. North play Brisbane in final round at the Gabba and two weeks earlier Hawks play North in Tasmania. Clearly North have their destiny more in their...

Right now, every time of year we should be playing State of Origin football. Leave the Community series practice matches for the rest of the players to get their practice but the elite players of the league playing State of Origin 2 weekends in a row this time of year would be awesome for...

Seen a few of these poll threads around but more curious on this one myself. Hawks been a serious premiership contender and also multiple winner for a long period now. They moved Mitchell and Lewis on. Lost one of the quickest young mids in Hill and got in Tom Mitchell and O'Meara. Hodge and...

Had a quick browse of our national draft pick selections in general. These drafts been running since 1986 although from about 1986 to 1991 it could be fair to describe the national drafts as more akin to present rookie drafts because most of the talented youngsters already taken up in under 19...

This is one of the last few in this series of retro draft pools from past I will look back on as years after this too many careers still running to judge a pool of players and would start to get into speculation of how they end their carers in future years. Most players careers here are finished...

This is one of the last few in this series of retro draft pools from past I will look back on. This one is a look back at players born in 1983 that at least played one game at AFL level. It does not mean they were part of the draft pool in the year of actual 2001 but it does mean that under...

This is a look back at players born in 1982 that at least played one game at AFL level It does not mean they were part of the draft pool in the year of actual 2000 but it does mean that under current AFL conditions since 2009 all the eligible types that turned 18 in that year of 2000 are...

This is a look back at players born in 1981 that played in senior AFL system. It does not mean they were part of the draft pool in the year of actual 1999 but it does mean that under current AFL conditions since 2009 all the eligible types that turned 18 in that year of 1999 are included if they...
