Game Day 2024 AFL GF - Swans v Lions - enter tip/NSmith

[Shagga is all Class]

Do remember hearing something about that as a kid..that the big vic clubs didn’t want us getting bigger/ successful. Never knew if this was proven.

Found a link on the big footy web to an Age article from 03 .. not sure how accurate it is with the passing of time…or the key players mentioned. But l distinctly remember that gold rimmed glasses hack gleefully bragging on tv..

The Fitzroy-North merger that never got across the line

Quite a fascinating article in todays Sunday Age. I never realised that Miller had offended the Fitzroy board which helped open the door to the Brisbane Bears. I must admit, I'm kind of glad that we are still our own entity but it is still an interesting read... The merger that never...

The clubs voted against North Fitzroy Roos 14-1 and the Bears did a Bradbury with the help of the AFL.

North didn't have to go to a member vote like the Melbourne Hawthorn fail. The $6 million dollar offer from the AFL would have paid out the North shareholders and the Fitzroy Nauru debt used to push Fitzroy in administration.

Cheers SAC. ……
Well it backfired on those voting clubs
And to AFL.

It's not just people from Timboon that shag horses.

There's a serious mental health issue behind the original story Spider and I suspect some very tragic background. Best I say no more here.

Cats autopsy thread is so calm. Very much, " ah well, great year, 25 points up, but we lost, what's for dinner " ?

Unusual to hear of a know-nothing Sydney fan.

 

[andana]

At the very least this should highlight the advantages the northern teams have

Syd, gws, lions and gold coast are kissed on the dick (Gc just haven’t taken advantage yet)

A PAIR of Brisbane-bound midfielders have supercharged the Sandringham Dragons to a third successive premiership, with the strong favourites claiming a piece of history in the Victorian under-18 competition.

Academy talent Sam Marshall and father-son Levi Ashcroft were pivotal as the Dragons stormed to their flag threepeat, with the 37-point win coming in comfortable fashion in the Coates Talent League decider against Greater Western Victoria Rebels.

Yes, imagine winning a flag and getting 2 under 18 All Australian level players a month later.

Plus welcoming back Coleman (another academy) back from an ACL for next season.

Im sure our academy/nga zone is Bass Straight.

You literally have to live on the Spirit of Tasmania for 2 years for us to get drafting rights...

So if they took them off, you'd be turned on?
NTTAWWT
Twinkletoes you're up!

Au contraire, still flaccid. Headbands do nothing for me. NTTAWWT of course.

 

[zoomba23]

Exactly. We win because we kept our club. It will be North Melbourne when we get the flag not some hybrid compromise.

If. This last five years is exactly the sort of shit that takes decades to weed out, especially when the historical standard of North is to mooch about the wilderness for decades at a time anyway.

This isn't an endorsement of supporting a big, successful team, as not much fills me with more horror than the idea of that, but man

 

[koshari]

I feel sorry for Doedee. To do your knee again on the eve of the season and have your team make the GF is some sort of cruel.

Getting there without coleman is impressive, such quality deoth.

 

[DuckYeah]

I think l need to call it a night if the conversation is heading down this path….

But geez what a win by lions

Hitting the hay?

Plus Tom Doedee…we made a long-term investment in the former AA defender and we’re about to get our first dividend cheque next season…hope it pays well

 

[bengrina]

Can someone please list all ‘academy’ players Sydney will have available for grand final. Mills, heeney, gulden, Blakey . Anyone I’ve missed?

depth we can only fantasise about.

Think it's only fitting that Warrick Capper should present the cup to the winning captain.
