Former footballer and Geelong Football Club Hall of Fame member Ken Newland has passed away aged 75. https://www.geelongcats.com.au/news/1709269/vale-ken-newland Here's his iconic "six flights in a lift" moment from the 1967 GF: I recall with fondness his single season with the Bulldogs in...

Same. I’m assuming we had the same person. Wiki updated at 3:00 a.m. our time but alas it was still 31 Dec in the UK.

Hi everyone. I'm a 2025 debutante. Have been following this game for years but have never gotten around to submitting a list... until now. I'm looking forward to feeling conflicted.

EF: Treloar, Ugle-Hagan, Weightman, Bontempelli, Naughton. I’ve never felt so non-competitive about the Kelvin. I want to score triple-figures but still have you lot trounce me. I don’t care who kicks our goals – I just want many of them.

The number would be negligible as most people just buy a ticket on the day. But does it apply to AFLW members as well? My guess is no. I have mixed feelings: rapt for those punters who suddenly have Elimination Final tickets, but kinda begrudgingly because I forked out serious dollars on...

R24: Treloar, Weightman, Bontempelli, Vandermeer, Naughton. Thx dw.

Agree BD – it’s impossible to properly judge a player’s total contribution on a screen. I make the same observation about Lachie McNeil. Another poster mentioned him dipping back into defence yesterday, there was one occasion when I was like “how the eff did he get back there?!” He and VDM...

R23: Weightman,,Bontempelli, Richards, McNeil, Naughton. Thx dw.

In the spirit of ‘taking it two weeks at a time’, a win today gives us a fighting chance of a home final. We won’t be off today after the Round 22 debacle. Taking my son’s Japanese girlfriend – she loved the AFL experience a fortnight ago against the Dees but, still, her knowledge of the game...

R22: Ugle-Hagan, Weightman, Bontempelli, Vandermeer, McNeil. Thx dw.

1954 – Semi Final at Melbourne Cricket Ground [11 September 1954] Geelong 8 - 14 - 62 Footscray 11 - 19 - 85 Variation on a theme: our path to the 1954 Grand Final. Geelong had finished minor premiers in 1954 with a 13-5 win/loss record. The Dogs (11-1-6) took them on in a semi-final...

R21: Weightman, Bontempelli, Dale, Naughton, English. Thx dw.

R20: Weightman, Bontempelli, Darcy, Richards, Naughton. Thx dw.

Not exactly a full house, KH. Maybe a couple of hundred passed through but not more than 60-80 any given time. Attendees were enjoying a wee bite and beverage courtesy of the Barker’s staff before making their way to the merchandise. The Bulldog Shop itself is laid out almost identical to the...

The Bulldog Shop was officially re-launched last night. The club put on some very nice sliders and other finger food as well as drinks. Two glasses of champagne was enough to entice me to buy an Aaron Naughton bobble head. Good times.

May I please have Richards (given that Macrae has been made sub)?

Ha! Last time I went there Dougie was playing… his 12th senior game! We lost. I don’t remember much about the game but I recall there were major building works going on and it was extremely muddy. There was also limited access to toilets so dudes were pissing behind the hessian sacks that were...

R19: Weightman, Bontempelli, Macrae, West, Naughton. Thx dw.
