Hill has been fantastic. Best thing about Hawthorn becoming the Sunday twilight specialist is we get Hill most weeks. For mine, the best setup is: Lead Commentator - Doubles as Host/Celebrity, manages into and out of quarter time breaks, goal replays, etc. Cover's the Play-by-PLay caller...

$160 for a pair of Pointe shoes for my 12yo that "should last at least 3 months"

Years ago (our current pair WAY too lazy for walks, not to mention me!) I walked the same route religiously with my girl every morning. I'm very glad I did. She was a rescue collie/kelpie cross who we discovered had suffered serious abuse as a pup (she was 18m, not 3m as we were told by the...

Well, he does speak French!

Poor? I'd go for significantly under-rated. Haven't gone through every year but I'm not surprised it's been picked out. Hodge was better than Sicily/Stewart at the intercept role, but like Sicily Hodge layed genuine CHB that year - teams were trying to play around him like they do May/Lever...

It's a weak, very even year. Reminds me a lot of 2016 actually (retrospectively). Sydney the only team performing remotely like a contender/top-4 finalist. I find it interesting we are still 15th, I would have thought we'd be up with Bombers/GC/Freo group now. I don't know whether it's just...

After all, Brian Lake was such a renown speedster. Weitering too.

The man tells no lies - September 2, 2013:

I actually really like this idea. Spread the $$$ out equally amongst ALL players and it benefits those on lower contracts the most. Another suggestion was for it to be added to players "Superannuation" fund for the post football life (perhaps paid only to those on base/low contracts, draftees...

sorry to intrude - was intrigued by the title, but thought this comment the most easily modified into our game. Baseball has both Starting Pitchers and Relievers (close to our 1st/2nd ruck situation). Adapting this into our game "could" provide flexibility to include another running option...

2024 has been below his career average disposals, kicks, marks, metres gained, tackles. ...yet it's the best he's ever played IMO.

All I take from this is "Congratulations to Rowan Marshall on being adjudged best on ground." The rest is misguided. "Your team just lost, but winning this award must feel pretty special - tell us how happy you are" Present a medal/trophy to the winning team captain if you must - but don't...

He did. Landed heavily on his back from a height, bounced (literally!) back to his feet and applied defensive pressure until the ball was cleared. Once the ball was cleared, he doubled over to try and catch his breath and spent the next five minutes on the bench getting his ribs checked by...

My GP certainly wouldn't win any "bedside manner" awards. I think last time she said "maybe like try NOT eating?"

2008 was clearly his best year after the siren! For mine he was a more unique footballer in the 07-09 period - genuinely a midfielder in a KPP body. He kicked the century in 08, and perhaps as few as 20 were from contested marks at FF. He was a (very) tall, (VERY) fast flanker/pocket who...
