    WWE TV, Rumours and Discussion (On Netflix)

    Absolutely you do. From Terry Bollea's point of view he probably thought he was looking after his own interests - certainly financially - in an industry notorious for stars leaving the business penniless, families wrecked, and physically and mentally destroyed. Promoters didn't exactly go out of...

    WWE TV, Rumours and Discussion (On Netflix)

    Even now you'd struggle to get any journo to go near the many off field indiscretions of Warne. Probably understood they'd be denied access to current (and ex) players, and that's what matters most to them.

    WWE TV, Rumours and Discussion (On Netflix)

    Yep exactly. Wrestling (and boxing) has been called the "red lights district of sports" for a long, long time. Decades. I think it's more when you put young men in a position where they have fame, are local (or national) stars, earn prodigious amounts of money - contrary to what people might...

    WWE TV, Rumours and Discussion (On Netflix)

    If anyone thinks wrestlers of all people are going to be perfect human beings they might be in for a surprise. On the positive side, you can't deny his effect on the industry, and that he was one of the major drawcards of all time (probably only Jim Londos before and Steve Austin after at the...

    First job for Greg Swann

    Doesn't matter. 99% of fans are mindless sheep and will not only go along with it, within a year or two they'll obediently say how they were in favour all along. It's a lost cause now.

    Dwayne ' shit commentator ' Russell - PART 2 in 3d

    I like how Port are apparently a chance for finals and a premiership this year. You have to work hard to be that ******ed.

    Should all the rules introduced by current Geelong CEO Stephen Hocking be reversed?

    It's not like the Stand rule was the first stupid rule change they brought in - it'd been happening for some time. It's comfortably the worst though.

    FTA-TV The Front Bar

    I reckon that also might have been the game where Taylor kicked 10 very early in his career. I'm exactly the same, I couldn't recall that much about most games over the last decade - some exceptions of course - but I can vividly recall moments and quarters of games from the late 1980s through...

    FTA-TV The Front Bar

    From memory, didn't Mick Malthouse square up with Mick Conlan later in the game?

    Should all the rules introduced by current Geelong CEO Stephen Hocking be reversed?

    Even if they did, doing something just because other sports do it is part of the problem with the idiotic rule changes they've introduced in recent years. Footy is just fine by itself. It's not basketball (thank fecking Christ), it's not rugby, it's not American football (thank Christ again)...

    Should all the rules introduced by current Geelong CEO Stephen Hocking be reversed?

    I haven't really thought about the interchange, but the first four should all go for sure. Could also shoot the people responsible. Haven't added anything except make the game more 'Auskick for adults'. Once you think of it that way, it's scary how close it is. The Stand rule hasn't increased...

    FTA-TV The Front Bar

    Especially as once upon a time research was what journalists actually did. It's in fact the main part of the job.

    The downfall of Fox Footy.

    I absolutely hate it. It just reeks of insecurity. It's something in Australian sporting culture that just will not go away, the incessant need to mention US sports, the unforgivable introduction of US sporting terms into footy, or yes showing anyone remotely involved in any other sport. There...

    Autopsy AFL 2025 Rd 17 - North v Dogs - Thurs July 3rd 7:30pm AEST (Marvel)

    Naughton looks a totally different player with Darcy back. When he is on the move he is so much more threatening.

    Best and worst grand finals of all time

    He actually played ok, just missed a few sitters. We definitely had some forwards completely disappear under pressure (Stokes and Varcoe at the top of the list), but Mooney kicked the same amount of goals as Franklin and Roughead. That game was decided by the most fundamental football tenet -...

    Best and worst grand finals of all time

    Funny thing is I reckon you could find 5 marks as good (or better) from the 1989 Grand final alone.

    Rumour Rumors of cat player in big trouble

    I think the well worn "personal leave" could have been wheeled out. That's worked plenty of times. Every other club would have done EXACTLY the same thing.

    FoxFooty calling interstate games remotely

    Amazingly smug for someone who last played a long, long time ago, and much like Lyon has never darkened his hands with risky things like coaching.

    Opinion Where will Patrick Dangerfield rank amongst the greats?

    Clearly better than Ricciuto. His peak was probably as good as Voss. Line ball with Buckley - not a lot that splits them.

    Banter Geelong V Richmond - GO!

    It's exactly that. As long as other players think they're a chance at playing in a premiership they'll keep coming to Geelong. Once they don't they'll stop coming. It won't last forever. The single biggest thing Geelong have gotten right - to me at least - is making the home ground a fortress...

    Dwayne ' shit commentator ' Russell - PART 2 in 3d

    Actually I blame a lot of that on Brayshaw - who is almost as bad. Being from cricket (and therefore having no right to be anywhere near footy commentary in any way, shape or form) everything to him is a "ball". Absolutely everything. I've never heard him once say "good kick", "great kick for...

    Banter Geelong V Richmond - GO!

    Nobody ever cares in footy until a side starts winning premierships. Then it's unfair.

    Banter Geelong V Richmond - GO!

    And after copping it for a long, long time - quite gleefully from lots of opposition fans - I can't say I'm experiencing anything other that total joy. Hope every single win stings. Watching Essendon and Carlton fans now after vividly remembering how they treated us in the '80s and '90s is...

    Verbal Faux Pas, Jargon, Cliches, Boganisms, etc

    If there could be an award such as "Rising Star for Worst Commentator" this arseclown has it sewn up. If you grabbed a lovestruck 14 year old and put a microphone in front of them they would be less cringeworthy than this cocksmoker. Every single player is his mate. Hate him.

    They're in the generation that refuses to move out of the way.

    Dwayne ' shit commentator ' Russell - PART 2 in 3d

    Completely destroyed what was a pretty good game between Brisbane and GWS. Having his tongue torn out by red hot pincers should be on every footy fan's wish list.

    How good was Garry Lyon?

    Good comparison, except of course that Neitz Managed 300 games so a far longer career Kicked over 600 goals - so far more goals as well Actually won a competition wide award - the Coleman medal Won the club goalkicking only 5 more times as well Nothing demonstrates the positive benefits of...

    How good was Garry Lyon?

    That doesn't mean nearly enough to warrant Hall of Fame inclusion though. Was he an all time great? Not even close. Was he ever in the top handful of players in the league? Nope. Any massive goalkicking seasons - like even 80+? Nope (and even Brownless managed that). Not a huge goalkicker...

    How good was Garry Lyon?

    I'd have Richo in ahead of Lyon without thinking twice. Far better player.
