For those who aren't aware, old Australian newspapers have been digitised on a website called TROVE (https://trove.nla.gov.au)
With a bit of free time on my hands, I started to wonder what interesting things I could find in the history archives.
How's this for a cracker to start us off... A...
Can't read through every page, but why does Parfitt always escape criticism? He is consistently a turnover king. Horrible skills and weak. S Selwood has struggled with tags recently, and stuffed things up 2x late in the last against the Demons. Is he past it, or does he need more senior games?
Very unlikely to get caught, so lots of Japanese guys risk it, but if they do get caught, or crash or injure someone, they are royally screwed. There are maximum security prisons in Japan where you’ll find drug smugglers and hardened criminals, but there are prisons almost entirely devoted to...
He’s a fool and doesn’t know what he’s talking about. 焼き鳥 is grilled chicken. You can eat dog in Japan, but all the places that sell it are Chinese and Korean restaurants. I could show you a ホルモン restaurant that has worse things than dog on the menu...
Our game can be summed up by Parfitt’s out on the full in the last. Cats turned it on when the game was almost over and looked unstoppable, then more and more skill errors...
Exactly. It looked bad, but it was a clean break that can be set, and will heal. Bones normally take 6 weeks to heal. It wasn't stress fractures or lingering minor issues.
Lots of Geelong supporters I know seem to think that we belong further up the ladder than we currently are, but looking through the team stats sheet on the AFL App, we are where we deserve to be - probably even higher. Interesting to look at regardless!

You think that the AFL produces world class athletes because we can beat a team of farmers, butchers and builders minus their best players? I think the Liverpool FC would probably run rings around the amateur Irish guys, and the Washington Redkins would quite literally kill them. Imagine Barry...
Haha, what a joke. A lot of these guys have played multiple series. Danger for instance is playing his 4th. If you think these guys just start practicing three weeks before the tournament, then I've got some things I'd like to sell you. That line you just blurted out is the excuse that...
Had a kid who I used to play footy with who used to swear black and blue that Derek Hall was a chain smoker and that was his excuse to smoke a pack a day and could still play AFL.
At this stage it's looking like a combination of Thailand, Indonesia, Cambodia, Philippines, Vietnam, Japan, HK, Malaysia and Laos, although it's impossible to say for certain as yet. It's all dependent on availability of players.
