Bad week for the Eagles:

Sheppard sues West Coast Eagles

Former Eagles player Brad Sheppard has sued the AFL, the club, and two doctors for the injuries he suffered during his career that was cut short after ongoing medical issues.

Exactly why the AFL are so hard on high hits. Tonight's appeal by Heeney in this context will be interesting. Game on.

I once drove from Perth to Albury with 4 pre-teens, soundtracked by:
1. Ariana Grande - My Everything
2. Katy Perry - Prism
3. Taylor Swift - 1989

That is the order I would rank them in, so I'd prefer Ariana Grande, but at least it's not taytay.

How did you manage to do that?

Massive Killers fan, so they were always my dream GF entertainment. Unfortunately it was Jack Riewoldt and the Tigs who got to soak up the limelight that day and not us.

1989 is a great album and I'll fight with anyone who disagrees.

It's too long. The problem is she writes her own stuff and clearly nobody is brave enough to say, "You need to cut half this shit and stick to the bangers."

 

[CharlieMortdecai]

How did you manage to do that?

Alternate between lollies, chocolates and chips being chucked back from the driver to share. Unlimited tablet time, but then charging becomes a ****ing issue. I Spy works surprisingly well, even in the 21st century.
Genuine heart in mouth stuff at the cliffs of the Great Australian Bight.

Good question of who would be your ideal Grand Final performer when North win a flag?

Has to be someone who still tours and has a very high profile in Australia, doesn't mind playing for a nice payday and hasn't played the Grand Final before (Rolf Harris, you're out). The other thing to consider is that they're short sharp performances so as much as I'd like to hear Neil Young play jam out "Cortez the Killer" for 19 minutes that probably isn't going to happen.

My number one would be The Drones. Probably just under the profile level required to be standalone performers like KISS or The Killers but "Shark Fin Blues" would sound utterly majestic on a sunny day at the G.

Someone like The Strokes would be absolutely massive. A band with a huge sound that isn't quite as boomed out as a lot of the big touring bands, though Casablancas has done some city miles. Even their last album was really decent. Would be peak nostalgia for a large demographic of the crowd, similar to The Killers.

The White Stripes, they've at least got it half right

This is more a general query than specifically West Coast but is anyone actually shocked by this?

Former West Coast Eagle sues AFL for 'medical negligence' following concussion retirement

Retired footballer Brad Sheppard is suing his former club, the West Coast Eagles, the AFL as well as two doctors over claims of 'medical negligence.'

Got this funny face Pykie. The chin and lips are straight, but from there up his face sorta " veers " up off to the right.

100% nailed that face Hoj

The GV to Radelaide and back via Mildura in April this year was shocking enough

Mine hijacked my phone and set it to autoplay Tool on a loop, which was bad enough when he was in the car but when I set off to get my car serviced and I couldn't bloody stop the music unless I pulled over on the freeway I was taking heavy metal damage big time.

Still better than what you had to endure I suppose.

 

[ferball]

Not saying it isn't tough. But it was predictable and his contract was met unless media reports are incorrect. Thats all they owed him. Don't sook.

He's a premiership coach. They owed him a bit of respect.

He got more than a million dollars respect.

It’s one of those things where as a kid you interpret the lyrics as a kid without looking at the lyrics so now you are stuck with your version of the lyrics and as much as you try to change the lyrics NOW IT DOESNT WORK.

it’s like in her song dark horse “she’s a beast I call her karma” I always sing it as “she’s obese, I call her karma”

My brain just can’t compute the actual lyric

We had to set ferball straight. He was convinced Jimmy Barnes was singing "cheap wine and a pound of dope"...

Clutch would be great but **** all people know them.

Zardonic for the kids.

There's actually a word for that.

That's one, I think the Coodabeens called them "mountain tops" as in "What we need is a great big mountain top" from the song "Melting Pot"
