this umpiring issue really stinks!
someone mentioned in another thread I think, that it would be a great topic for some enterprising journo to pick up and run with , if they could ie
Methinks the AFL would go to ground if curly questiond were asked though!

Ah yes Enrico '71 & 97 go without saying. Talk about history repeating itself Jeans "71 had a reputation of being ultra defensive, and always stacked the backline in the final quarter when we were in front, except THAT DAY and Keddie on the HFF hadn't been sighted all day kicked a bag to kn...

66 Grand Final no question! Posted a bit of this B4, but its worth repeating for those who think they are long suffering Sainters... I was 21 and went with my Dad who was 58 Didn't give us much of a show at 3/4 time with a lead of only 13 points and the Pies had the seemingly increasing wind in the ...

They showed Sam experimenting with "camera technology" which he had the camera out the back passage! Always reconned Sam thought the sun shone out from there but I now realize its been his "thid eye" all along. So now we will all be able to witness and enjoy MrEgos unique view o...

This I believe to be a fair summation of our present status by RL,and it ties in with the arguments we were having a few weeks back, when he and the players publicly confirmed that the game plan aim was to play attacking footy. I posted at the time during that lengthy debate that maybe it was just p...

when everyone puts in 100% for 100 minutes like Lenny then we can readdress this question

At the moment he's leading the way in this prime area the team lacks overall

if it keeps rubbing of on ALL then the results will speak for themselves

QED !

worth a slash at those odds I recon, provided we can press home the ruck advantage through the midfield and at stopages

Fisher is a good in considering the number of small forwards at Collingwood. However I would've felt safer having Geary on Didak/Davis than Raph.

thats no given fortunatly ...I hope they don't put him down back at all

Ha Ha I guessed the surprize might be Max back ! yey...

accordording to that news bulletin it was part of "the black picture" that Archie painted of GT from the box thisarvo!

Just on 10 news that Archie painted a black picture of GT from the box thisarvo....

Mick lays it on the line to the Pies for tomorrow night!

RAPH CLARKE FULL FORWARD. That will be the most tactically confusing move ever made in AFL history. Mick shithouse will have no idea what do to. Trust me, R.Clarke - Full Forward. _________________ 'sposed to be a "pleasant" surprize .....this wouldn't be for all LOL! least I'd have my wi...

we should be able to press home our ruck advantage through the mid and at stopages ....was gunna say surelly ...but make that "hopefully"

so with Fraser out who are their likely rucks?

if its Roo you'd be excused for thinking the "injury" insured he didn't front for thr Dreamers maybe??

mmm love pleasant surprizes
lets guess...
either Max or Bakes are ok?

will be intresting to watch who plays full games as at least 4 will be needed to play next friday.... 3 to replace outs in Roo, X & Goose (with Raph already counted as last weeks replcement for Max) Plus Armo himself one would think King is listed with a hammy 2 weeks.... so 4 of those listed to...
