He has showed more than Luke Jackson ever has - facts!

My misso made a deal with me that the 2007 signed premiership jumper could come out of the office (out the back) and into the house. I then told her that if I could get the 2022 one it could stay out with me, every day, providing inspiration, in the room of the house I use the most. She agreed...

Always tried hard, had good skills and made good decisions. Finally added an adult frame and what a surprise, he's pretty handy. Always liked and rated Zach. We aren't very patient as fans and want every player to be a superstar. Not as bad as other sports cough NFL cough.

If people aren't already subscribed to Herbatron, you should be. The video's are just ****ing AMAZING! (the Hawkins bit is just LOLZ!)

There are always supporters who are keen to throw away every player and go for youth. The players at Geelong who would have been fired before they reached their peak is long: Bartel Ling Corey Enright. Shannon Burns. etc. etc. Why rebuild? Who not just have a crack at it every year? The Cats...

I mean I left Melbourne to get away from this shit...WHO WANTS THIS AT THE FOOTY?!!!!

I am now beginning the second half of my life and I have learned somethings: 1. We relentlessly march on, progress in whatever its form, stops for nobody. 2. People disappoint you. 3. Everything you love is eventually torn from you. Standing room was excellent. Call me a grumpy old campaigner, but...

It's not a definitive answer but this is a good Ted Talk if you haven't seen it: It is basically a short thesis that perhaps athletes aren't particularly getting all that much faster, better, stronger, but we have made other advancements: Technology - The sherrin is different than 40 or 100...

The thing with Hawkins is that nobody has said he has asked for a two-year deal. lolz. That was just talking heads in the media, telling us, what they would do if they were Hawkins - sort of like what Shane Crawford would do if he were Essendon and the AFL was fantasy football. But none of these...

I have him in a real competitive SCD league, so I watched basically him for the last few games. I would say he stays in your team because he is young, fit, it is 2020 and he tried hard on the weekend. He could have scored 120+ on whatever weird metrics CD use for scoring and could also have just...

I also find it easier to enter and exit and to eat and drink.

You are a better person than me! (I swear far too much) I even just like a place where I don't have to sit down. I was told off at the 2007 GF by someone as I jumped out of my seat every time we scored - which was a LOT. And I was on my very very best behaviour that day as I was invited by...

Interesting chat on the Age podcast today about crowd behaviour. Last time down at the cattery - I only get down 3-4 times a year now days - my girlfriend was keen to get seats. I first explained that our memberships don't come with seats - which she wasn't buying (it's true but I also wasn't...

Hhaha Bairstow looks like they stuck a face on three bricks! (he is just sitting REALLY close to the camera. Perhaps he actually has a tiny head?!

Hawthorn did. They cleaned the shop, trading out all of their half decent older players. It sort of all depends on how you look at it. Could call it smart rebuilding. But they made a decision, do we hang on to Barker and Rawlings, etc. and finish 11-11 mid-table. Or do we clear the decks, know...

Goddamn Wills has a giant head! Went on to have a short lived film career: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/9/93/Coneheads_Poster.jpg/220px-Coneheads_Poster.jpg

Oh and also this. My favourite thing beyond Ricardi's haircut and Wills giant ****ing head is that Blighty is wearing a playing uniform. I always throughout baseball was the only game where the coach (manager) rolled out in full playing kit. I wonder if he had the shorts and boots on too!

I have the DVD of this game!

When you are correct, you argue the point. When you aren't, you go rogue and start arguing any point....how would Gutherie go up against the 1979 Chinese Ping Pong team?

I'd love to know the age mix on this board. Say, those who can really remember pre-2005. By remember I mean old enough to actually understand what was happening in the league. We had sooooooo much trouble getting players to down the highway (Jade Rawlings - looool!). Get a competent board and...

For every Carlton and Melbourne though there is a Hawthorn and (to a lesser degree St Kilda). Hawthorn tanked and became possibly the greatest team of the modern error (yuck, that is horrible to write). St Kilda never quite got there but boy did they give it a shake after a tank. By tanking...

I say every year that I don't have that many expectations but once we make it to the final four, I am disappointed if we lose. There is no doubt we are the best team in the league, the ladder reflects that. If you believe in analytics, Champion Data have said for years that beyond win-loss, a...

Whilst I understand this thread is for all of us fans to be an armchair coach and talk trash and football. Now for perhaps 13-14 other teams, whose seasons are looking more unlikely to fall short, I would say that it is fair to question the coaches. They may even have players, love or hate, who...

He is playing as our most defensive midfielder, which given his backline experience, makes sense. His tackle numbers are elite and he often plays on the oppositions most dangerous mid at clearances - in particular, centre square bounces. There is always an interesting idea, "who is a better...

What I don't understand, is that if we must a home game away from Geelong, why tickets don't go on sale for Geelong Members 24-48 hours before Richmond fans and the general public. It should just go: Geelong Members - Monday morning 9am. Richmond Members - Wednesday morning 9am. General...

GWS worry me the most. Richmond, West Coast and Collingwood. I am not worried that these teams can bury us. GWS I think are they scariest team when they really get going. A lot of skills and hard to stop.

Coaches probably hated that game as it is proof that it is hard to rate all teams you play against and to turn up in the same way every week. I do like that the coaches are moving some players around, playing 1+ at the back sometimes and not others, rotating lesser known players through the...

Stupid factoids!

We are a game clear on the top of the ladder and people are doubting the coaching staff. Who knows if he is in our team at years end, but right now, with injuries, with rotations, etc. he is in our team. A winning team. So sick of the youth argument - play X kid, because kids are the future...

Correct, from here on out. They had a great stat regarding contested football after a clearance, collaboration with the ladder was high!
