This is not aimed at Cody but more artists in general. They are the one profession that always get a free pass. Be a politician and say “ no Australian child shall live in poverty” or “I don’t hold a hose mate” and you are condemned for all time, or be an actor and make “Vanilla Sky” ( or any...

Has the “Archibald Prize” , “Notm Smith Medal “ double ever been achieved before? 2025 could be the year? This year has that feel about it.

Well it can’t be Bramble he sprays the ball too much. My money is on the Bont or Libba.

Agree with all you said about Ian Redpath. From all reports he was an excellent human being and cricketer. Post Test career there are reports about him working all jobs at his cricket club. No job was beneath him and he always put the club and young players first. Vale Redders. Unrelated but...

What answer did he give to why Cody performed so badly in the EF?

Hmmmm….. Am I reading far too much into your post? Am I seeing something that isn’t there?

Alan Jones will be an apology next meeting

I went to a training course many years ago. The theme was don’t confine yourself to your own area of expertise to improve or come up with new ideas. The trainer based it on a few inventions from left field. Examples he sited were the hydraulic jack was invented by carpet layers, the vacuum...

Are we at the second crest of a wave of euphoria with the bringing of Brew to the club. There was a decided dip in mood when we knew Bailey Smith was leaving for peanuts, then we went into free fall when all the players we wanted got drafted and we languished in the trough for a little while...

I know I am biased in this argument but I struggle to see any basis for complaint regarding Dogs throwing the ball. There were a couple of decisions that you could argue might have gone their way but throwing the ball I don’t see at all.

I see you posted this at 8.24 am this morning. Sadly, I only got the joke just now. 😩

I know the point of your post was not to get Thomas to the club but if we could brush away the image/legal issues then the only issue we would have is ever attracting an WAFL/WVFL player to the club. Ever.

I think you are being harsh on VDM. I know some of us wish when he had the ball in range he would just take the shot or when he has the ball in space that he would just hit the target. But to me the important thing is he has the ball. Arty Jones, at senior level, however, well let’s say he is a...

Also going by the picture Cooper is the same height as Wallis !!!!!!!

Or it could just be that Australias growing population has led to a growing interest in the game, leading to a growing number of tv viewers leading to increased revenue for the AFl, which the AFL would always share with the players. (I did start off strong)

Completely agree with this. There has been good and bad from Bev. The good has been good enough that I am in the “keep Bevo” camp but I hope there has been “learnings” from the bad efforts. Bewildering selection decisions aside I am most disappointed with the wasted post premiership seasons. We...

Not sure if this has been posted already or if this is the correct thread so apologies in advance. Yesterday’s (?) Guardian Australia has a weekly column “The Weekly Beast”. One segment in the article said that Sharnelle Vella and Bulldogs Bob Murphy will be the new hosts of Melbourne ABC radios...

So the journalist is setting the rules for journalists. Why not, they investigate themselves already

Is he like Logan Morris from Brisbane? I always felt Logan was a Berry type.

When it’s time for Neil to be drafted you can bet those mongrel Saints will put in a bid just to make us use an earlier pick. Bloody typical of them.

We used to have a poster The Professor on here didn’t we?

I am not a Poulter fan but there is hope. I admire Dane Rampe now but he himself has said that he was just not mature enough when he was with us to make it. There is still time but the trick is knowing that it will eventually happen or if it never will.

I think you are correct. But I was just a kid then what did I know. I still was not eating the stuffing at roast dinners because I thought “ that comes from the very inside of the chicken. I am not touching that”. We live and learn

I was at that game. As I remember it there was a howling gale that day so there was only one “scoring” end. So by my logic kicking four goals in that game was equivalent to kicking 8 on a calm day because the ball never got to him for two of the quarters. I thought we had the greatest player...

There may be some light at the end of the tunnel. I asked Mr. Google how many games Smith has played - 103. So any of his sons ( or daughters) could nominate us come draft time. Imagine a son with Bont like ability who says “ I am sorry my dad didn’t do anything to get the club adequate...

This is all making perfect sense to me. Mitch Cleary tells us that Jake Riccardi dressed up as a taxi driver. Mitch Cleary tells us that Jake Riccadi left before the sex skit happened. AFL tells us Jake Riccardi is suspended for two matches. Ok

Did anyone watch the sports segment on Ch 7 six o”clock news tonight. Sorry I don’t know how to post the clip but it was basically an interview with Smith talking about why he chose Geelong. I can’t remember his answer verbatim but it was along the lines “ it wasn’t about the onfield stuff it...

A little off topic but the front loading of contacts has been mentioned a couple of times. I assume that if a club front loads a contact and the player leaves half way through the contract period the club has done its dough ( referring to the front loaded part only). Is that the risk a club...

On SEN between 9 and 10 this morning the host interviewed the St Kilda General Manager Recruiting (?) about the Macrae deal. He said that they started talking to Macrae “ a couple of months out”. So it’s seems that we might be the only ones who have this “ not talking to contacted players in...

Why did you have to bring this up?????? I got so excited when this trade came through. We had solved our KPF problems and won trade week. How wrong I was. How very very wrong.
