I'd get rid of the centre line and let the rucks start wherever they please. Worked OK until the 1979 Preliminary Final.

What happened there?
I agree btw, let the rucks start where ever they want.

I think it has become more important though since the introduction of the larger diameter centre circle. We had one on the weekend that wasn't recalled and ended up in an easy Port goal because O couldn't make the contest which meant Lycett dropped it straight into a runners path.
We didn't get one going the other way though.

If the footy bounces outside the outer centre circle, anyone should be able to contest it.

Gary Dempsey and Peter Moore nullified each others ruck work by engaging in a "wrestle" at centre bounces. The VFL was so alarmed by this, the next season they introduced the line across the middle to keep the ruckmen separated.

Match, in part, is on youtube

Been awhile since I followed the cricket ... is he still considered partially a cheat ref his bowling action (and is that why his shoulder is dodgy?)

Nah enough time passed and they watered down the throwing rules so much after it turned out so many bowlers technically bent their arm that it became pretty academic to give a shit.

Was speaking to a mate Monday who is not an AFL follower but regularly sees Richie around where he lives, occasionally speaking to him and cannot speak too highly of him Reckons he is just ripper bloke.

Ye, but has your mate seen Richie with a kebab in his hand? He turns beast mode. Stay away.

Unbelievable that that Bozza dude still has a social media following when he said he was fine with De Goey continuing to grope women (allegedly) if he kicked 5 goals a week.

More to the point, it was at a Pies function, where everyone at the restaurant were ex Pies players, or are Pies members.

And, it was take two.


I feel dirty defending Eddie . I’m going to go take a shower.

Sometimes being a martyr to the truth can feel that way ... and mobs tend to suck at nuance!

Strangely the Eddie you see with his 'mates' with a few under the belt seems to be the same Eddie you see fronting shows on the TV.

Can't see how that'd be easy to put up with.

I just love that when you google “Carn”, this is the dictionary definition.

It is an omen.

Big win to Fitzroy in the VAFA B division preliminary final today, which not only puts the Roys into the Grand Final, it also earns promotion to Premier Division for next season. Carna Roys!

by Tim Paine here when discussing Ben Stokes’ decision to come out of retirement:

Costelloe: “Why can’t he change his mind? There have been so many people who have retired and come back. What’s the difference?”

Paine: “I don’t like that either.”

Costelloe: “Have you got a chip on your shoulder about Ben Stokes?”

Paine: “No I don’t. I couldn’t care less. It’s got nothing to do with him.”

Costelloe: “What if things suddenly change in your life?”

Paine: “I didn’t like it when Mal Michael

We can always change the 04 to 23 at a pinch - we'll have a new original WEG 15 years after he passed.

Flew to Ho Chi Minh overnight, landed this morning. Got through customs, and ran in to another bloke wearing his Lions polo as well.

Just something random.
