Dawson Simpson/Hamish McIntosh- Simpson played only a handful of games in 2013 whilst McIntosh failed to get out on the park altogether. Our ruck/clearance work clearly struggled in the absence of an experienced, big-bodied ruckman, so it will become additionally important this year for at least...

Because one-upmanship when it comes to trading/recruiting has worked so well for other clubs in previous years. Ask Richmond and Collingwood circa 1980's. I'd much rather the club quietly go about their business and continue to work with + develop the young talent we currently have...

By "highly rated" I'm talking about the general sentiment ITT (or so it seems) that North are top 4 material. You have a fairly solid list who should improve and reclaim a finals berth, but I'm a tad sceptical regarding the widely-held belief that North are a talented side + likely bolter for...

Things may have changed, but the last time I travelled up to Yea and the surrounding area some of the roads weren't all that flash in terms of safety/quality (narrow, windy, potholes galore, you get the picture). Probably best to take the Hume.

Not against the concept but I don't see the need for it. Won't make an iota of difference when it comes to assisting punters in the stands with identifying particular players, as names sewn onto the back of jumpers will appear pretty small to the naked eye. Seems as though this is another...

Serious predictions- On-field: -Richmond fail to play finals -Brad Scott sacked mid-season after a poor start from North -Carlton and West Coast both crash badly -GC start with a bang; top 4 midway through the season before inexperience sets in and they miss the 8 -Essendon into the top 4 and...

Buddy smashes heaps of birds after a Swans win Vlad smashes heaps of hotdogs after the Brownlow count Campbell Brown smashes heaps of faces outside Crown Casino after a night on the piss Clarko smashes heaps of walls after a poor showing from Hawthorn

Going on a fishing trip during the day, might have a beer or two + BBQ afterwards. Don't have much else planned otherwise. Used to be a fairly quiet day for most people but unfortunately an ugly side to it has began emerging in recent years (nationalistic, racist bogans and whining lefties...

Can't argue with us playing a few home games at the MCG (keeps our supporters/members in Melbourne happy), but very unfair if you ask me that some clubs have not travelled to Geelong since the 1990s whilst others are made to do it every year. Even if it's only every 2-3 years they should all be...

^That and it's silly to suggest Brisbane are a 50/50 chance against Geelong and Port with GC and Richmond as 'wins'. The Lions are a decent chance of knocking us off, especially given we meet early in the season and they match up well on us, but you'd imagine we'll still start strong favourites...

1. Hawthorn- Don't begrudge them as a club, ditto their achievements in the past few decades. Just find their supporter base absolutely insufferable at the best of times. 2. Fremantle- Can't stand Lyon, their boring as batshit brand of 'football', and a fair chunk of their playing group (most...

Carlton/Collingwood/Essendon/Hawthorn should all be made to play at Simonds Stadium irrespective of the crowds they draw against us at the MCG and Etihad. Dale Thomas is an obscenely overrated footballer.

Grass burns very quickly though as opposed to something such as tree branches, and so it becomes more difficult for grassfires to spread. It just doesn't have the mass of some other common sources of fuel for fire (bark, tree branches, leaves too). Lighting a fire in a barrel is a different...

Couldn't agree more on moving Guthrie into the midfield. May be useful there, but I don't entirely see the point in it when he's exactly what we're after down back- a smaller defender who is capable overhead and reads the play well. In fact, on a few occasions last year it appeared to me as...

Any sentence or phrase ending in "be like" (e.g. bitches be like....). Have no idea why but it's use totally drives me up the wall, especially when slipped into conversations.

Try contacting the publisher. May not be able to give you a copy but they could possibly point you in the right direction. Is it illegal to do a u-turn on a freeway?

Rainbow paddle pops with the blue bits on them.

1999 or 2000 against the Bulldogs at Kardinia Park. We were pipped by a kick after leading by 3-4 goals with 15 mins to play. Not exactly the best introduction to footy for me, but living in Geelong and with the whole family being Cats supporters (other than mum) I didn't exactly have much...

Have been running through the fixture in the last 30 mins or so determining wins/losses for each team and it threw up some interesting results, particularly in comparison to my earlier prediction (tipped some upsets here and here): 1. Fremantle 17-5 2. Collingwood 17-5 3. Sydney 16-6 4...

Didn't realise I'd typed Sumich instead of Simpson - can be very easy to get caught up and have a brain fart or two when you're typing out long posts. Thanks for pointing that out. :oops: Not entirely sure about WC this year, they'll probably finish higher than 15th. Just thought I'd add some...

Trees/grasses need to be dry and have something fanning the fire (windy conditions in the case of bushfires) to travel across large areas, otherwise they'll just quickly burn a particular area and fizzle out. The oil in eucalypt trees also helps with the combustion of fuel, and since there's so...

That's the one. Can remember how the song went but couldn't quite put a finger on the lyrics or name.

What's so far-fetched about Richmond missing finals?

SANFL Premiers after they're kicked out of the comp. :p Port will be in the 'could go either way' bracket (can't edit the earlier post now because of some 10 min time limit).

IMO Certain Finalists: Hawthorn, Sydney, Fremantle Likely Finalists: Collingwood, Geelong, Essendon, North Could go either way: Adelaide, Richmond, Carlton, West Coast Unlikely Finalists: GC, Bulldogs, Brisbane Certain Non-Finalists: Melbourne, GWS, Saints

Not quite sure of it's name but a popular 70s/80s song sung in French or maybe German. Remember seeing an English translation of the lyrics on TV (pretty sure it was Spicks and Specks) a while ago and they made absolutely no sense, was basically a word salad. Someone help me out here.

Pre-season. Of course during the H&A season Blicavs (as with every young player) will be one of a number of guys fighting for the last few spots in our best 22, and so everything is up to form, injuries, etc. elsewhere in the team. The NAB Cup will merely give us a guide to the...

3 years is an eternity away in footy so this is purely (educated) guesswork. In 2017: Top 4 Western Bulldogs- Midfield looks promising and McCartney is a very good coach. Premiership drought has to end soon. Collingwood- Have some talented youth and did very well in last year's draft...

Two years from Gold Coast's first finals appearance is when they can become a serious threat IMO; once you get there it takes several seasons to adjust and fine-tune things before being able to launch an assault on the flag. Think they'll play finals next year so that would probably result in...
