Milesi. No k.

Wasn't Robodog introduced for the 1997 Season, the launch of the "Western" renewal (?) of the Club following the Smorgon Board takeover from the Gordon Board and the move to Princes Park ? It coincided with an era of similarly bizarre jumper designs by Fremantle, Melbourne, North, Adelaide, St...

I've only seen her in action the once, a President's Lunch. She's not relaxed and at home in the role. If she's had anything to do with Mission, Pedigree and McDonalds, she's fine.

Before he became a VFL Superstar, Laurie, or his doppelganger, was a regular at the West Footscray YMCA., cnr Market and Essex Streets. He was your classic naughty boy, back row, red hair and silly jokes. There's no way he'd get a gig in the firsts these days, he'd end up being traded to...

oops. 1/3 of NSW hospitalised covid19 infecteds in ICU

Still no new cases in double figures, yet. The scary figure is 1/3 of NSW positives are in hospital.

Try the Austin in Heidelberg. Phizer for those who book, Astrazenica for off-the-streeters a few weeks back.

After the game. A number of the players embraced Dahlhaus; Ablett went out of his way to go to Smith, congratulated him, had a bit of a chat; both sides lined up to honour an umpire, not sure what that was about but those things are heart warming, especially after a good win.

Presidents are, or should be, fund raisers. Beyond that, a President should restrict his/her influence to policy-like public platitudes which reflect consensus of the Board of Directors at Lunches and if interviewed in the Press. What we don't want is some clown who thinks that he/she can use...

That's harsh, a kick short of playing Sydney in 2016, whom they'd already beaten in the finals.

Perhaps that sustained level of intensity can't be generated every year. It was there in 2015 and 2016, not in 2017. It's the difference between finishing outside the 8 and winning a premiership.

That's not necessary, he's one of us.

Because the team historically hasn't had high scoring ability and still doesn't. All clubs draw their players from the same pools, overwhelmingly the U 18s and the 3 southern states' leagues. There's not a great deal of difference in the ability of the players in each team, what makes the...

Is it just possible that playing Wood forward forces Defenders to practice decision making ?

Did whoever was coaching (King ?) experiment ? was there an injury ? was Wood moved back to defence to stem the tide ?

1993, Warne's first tour of England, tour match Worcester v Australia, the County Cricket run machine, Graeme Hicks is playing for Worcester. Border instructs Warne to bowl nothing but leg breaks to Hicks, not to show him anything. Hicks makes 187, Warne returns 1/122. Australia wins the...

If Boyd played VFL all year, supporters would do more than that. Until the Grand Final, Boyd had barely justified his place in the team, let alone his contract and salary. It's a chilling thought that Schache might be preferred to Boyd as ruck-forward

Terry Wallace introduced the warm up a few coaches ago. At the time, he said it was to accustom the players to bad weather on that particular day but all the other clubs jumped on the bandwagon so what I took to be a habit likely to be exercised on wet weather days became the norm. It's not a...

Much the same happened after 1954. Players left to coach in the bush, internal disputes, star players not getting on (Box & Whitten), coach sacked mid 1957. That 1954 team was said to be the best in the competition in 1954 yet didn't go on with it and a new generation played in the next grand...

With a bit of luck, everyone, especially the coaching staff and players, will dismiss this as a clash of egos and leave it at that.

It would have been unfair to the Club. Fair play to Stuart, his argument is powerful enough without the need to sacrifice the Club. Its behaviour is beyond reproach.

Dogs have fleas Bulldogs don't have noses Ex Bulldogs live normal lives, some even become Real Estate Agents, that's a secret. I won't tell anyone, though. r

I haven't been to the SCG for 30 years. It's when you imagine yourself, mid game, being out there, particularly at stoppages. It may not bother Libba, Morris, M Boyd, Smith too much but surely it's not love of the game or playing that keeps Johannisson, Stringer, McRae, Wood, Murphy, Bont...

...not to mention the game itself, the discipline of zone defence, other players barking at you where to stand, the constant tackling, packs and diving on the ball and being dragged to the ground, arms pinned, every time you grab the ball. Where's the exhilarating run out of defence, the...

I couldn't agree more. An undemocratic, censorious FFC wouldn't have granted those indulgences. A well run club has directors who have particular skill sets, a succession plan and engage with those who wish to influence it. Well run clubs enjoy finals appearances and Premierships.

There's no mention of political parties in the national Constitution. The Club isn't denying him his right to stand, if he insists and as long as he complies with the Constitution, the Club will conduct an election. Where is the lack of democracy ? From Bresker's account, Bains didn't forbid...

Membership is fundamentally about fund raising. It carries with it rights such as entry to game,s access to finals tickets and voting at elections where necessary. In the past, Board members were ordinarily drawn from members of sub-committees and coteries or are selected by the Board and...

He'll do what most footballing rangas do, go bottle blond for a few years.

Bluey Richards.

Charlie Spargo. 2 generations of Spargos at Footscray, the 3rd at North. Dalrymple had 2 chances to bring the Spargos home.
