I asked a cop (a friend of an ex) how long he takes to decide whether to arrest someone and he said basically 30 seconds into their first interaction. So, for him, you mouth off, refuse to give your name or whatever... FAFO.

The horizontal part of the new cross is higher, right?

Thanks. I didn't know that.

Hawthorn settled with the former indigenous players and their partners today. Their first offer, which was rejected, was $300,000 according to the Age. The article says they reached a financial settlement with Cyril Rioli, Shannyn Ah Sam-Rioli, Jermaine Miller-Lewis, Montanah-Rae Lewis, Carl...

Here's another shot that includes Carey... it's really grainy footage... I guess that's because of the age of the source material, but I don't know. Maybe it is my computer. But the timestamp shows you where in the video this one is from.

Malcolm Blight was a major factor in North winning the flag in 1975 and 1977. He won some games off his own boot. He will forever be a North champion.

I watched the video closely. There is one (admittedly small) section where Pagan, Carey and others are all on the premiership dias. Carey is also in the background in another one or two shots. This is a screenshot that shows you - admittedly it's poor quality, but you can see him there and in...

I lived in America around 9/11 and met people who were affected. I talked to one woman who'd walked over the rubble, and she was pretty sure that she heard groans and other noises from people about 5 or 10 feet under where she was walking. I thought the 9/11 reference (which most people tend to...

Would anyone mind giving me a hint as to who DJ is?

Well, if it is time to discuss our own sporting prowess... when I signed up for Under 11s, the kids in my new team asked me whether I was a forward or a back. I said a forward. They asked if I'd kicked any goals. I said no, but I did kick a point once. #LowKeyFlex

I always appreciate footy players who march to their own drum. I've got a soft spot for Joe, who prefers to drive for two hours to get to training rather than live in the city. People like him have a different set of values than a lot of others, and money isn't their main deal in life. I was...

This is a really hard decision. So many spuds, and only one Leon to give.

Are they all miming and singing to backing tracks (and only occasionally singing louder than the pre-recorded stuff)?

I've been off the Bay for most if the year. Then the Grand Final comes along, and I think "The Bay is full of flogs, that's where I belong."

Charlie Cameron for the Leon. He's a lot slower this year. Got a feeling he will take too long with the ball and get caught.

If you've got to be honest, are you sure you're on the right thread?

What a thied-rate crock this presentation has been.

WTF? Singing??? As if it hadn't dragged on enough.

How the hell can a kid in a wheelchair be Auskicker of the Year? You don't have adapted Auskick!

When he kicked the winning point in 1966, Barry Breen was wearing number 27. That was the first name I associate with the number, and pushes him past Blake, in my opinion, even though he wore number 4 at the end of his career.

@maddog37 thanks for your supportive words.

Could he just say, "Well, I'll stay on the list if you force me to, but I'm taking off time from my football-related PTSD," and just do supervised mental health recovery? For me, it took about 5 years to get back to an ok state emotionally. Life-threatening injuries change you. I still feel...

I had an horrific accident which left me nearly dead. You really, really don't get over it. I had many injuries (didn't get a ruptured spleen, but got other life-threatening injuries). I made a remarkable recovery, but I was never the same, emotionally or physically. One of the questions you...

I was at Bunnings, getting a key cut for the second time, cause the guy didn't do it right the first time. Dermie was about 4 checkouts across from me. I said to the key guy, "That's Dermott Brereton." He said, "Who is that?" I said "He's a famous footballer." The guy said "Oh, I don't follow...

He was sent back on the field with an incredibly serious injury. He will have no trust in the club's medicos, and he's said he and his family have been really rattled by it. I'm guessing at least some of the people close to him would have asked if the club failed in their duty of care? And if...

I can remember when he was in the draft... everyone expected him to go No. 1. Some St Kilda fans like me were saying "What?" when we didn't pick him. Then the club apologists come in to the discussion (as they always do) and told us the club knows much more than us and Paddy would lead us to a...

I truly hope people don't take this stuff too seriously. It's big footy! In that spirit, I'd like to add that Dusty was not only sublime with his football skills, he was more than handy with Chopsticks.

Greatest football player I've ever seen. Thanks for the memories, champ. All the best for the future, whatever you choose, and keep living life your way.

I am more of a free-speech person (with regard to 'hate speech') than I once was. I do think that words can be crimes (e.g. screaming fire in a theatre), and I do think that words like the ones we are discussing can also be evidence of a crime. For instance, if someone leaves home intent to...

It's what I expected. We need a new forward coach (at least).
