Re: Jamie Cox on radio 24 Oct
So from Jamie we will be using our first 3 picks. So with Holmes now on the senior list that means that either 1/ all 5 un-signed players will be delisted, or 2/ that as we can go with one list rookie with 40 on the senior list that 4 out of 5 would be delisted. Thanks SR. I reckon they will retain...

Re: Thanks to all for an interesting trade period.
Excellent post, WW, and thanks to all those whom you mentioned. I did not post at all during the trade period, as I am definitely one of the NFI brigade when it comes to the in and out of trades, but I enjoyed immensely reading all the speculation and ultimately the successes of the recruiting team....

Re: Cronulla Sharks - 1st flag in 50 years!
Sharks win no good to me - am a Storm supporter and was at the game last night. The fact that their fairy tale came true softens the blow a little bit.. But not much !

Re: If The Dogs Can Do It. So Can We
Excellent post, Damienc. You too , Loris. I am pleased for the Dogs, and take some heart and hope from their achievements. I recall vividly the thrill of '66, and the many disappointments since. I am surprised that some of this forum have been extremely critical of those of us who take some positive...

Re: Congratulations Bulldogs
Great effort Doggies. A super finals series . Fairy tale stuff. Well done Tom Boyd. How good their coach must be. Quality person.. Great to see him get Bob Murphy up on stage. The only downside on the game... How ironic it was that the last act of the game was a staging high tackle to Toby McLean.hi...

Re: Selwood legacy there for all to see
The high free kicks staging is becoming a blight on the game - some of the dogs players are shockers but it is paying off! I suspect we will all end up having to coach our players to do it but at what cost? The game is changing and pretty soon we will have players doing it constantly. The league mu...

Re: GWS vs DOGS.
Wonderful win by the Dogs. Fabulous for all their long-suffering fans, their administration, players and their coach. I just watched the last quarter again, and it confirmed for me that Brian Taylor is the most pathetic AFL commentator . He does not even know the score. First, with the Doggies up by...

Well it stands to reason the Paddlepop would be interested in the Lyons.
He would be the one most likely. Still only 24. Melbourne boy ( southern suburbs- played for Sandy Dragons ). Has shown a bit. Could be OK for a late round pick, even Rookie. The others - don't think so.

Crikey. Don't understand how people can't empathise with the Dogs' supporters.

Re: Umpire under investigation by AFL Integrity Unit
The seaming wickets and lower bounce in England ( where Lawry toured three times ) made it more likely he would be adjudged LBW than in Aus , where the bowlers were using the bouncier wickets to knock him in the Snoz. Terry Alderman will vouch for the greater numbers of LBWs to be had in England. By...

Maybe there is something going on there - maybe he's not happy to see Parish leap frog him in his first year. Maybe he's FIGJAM and thought he should have played more last year or weren't happy with some brutal advice the coaches have said about defects in his game. But maybe it comes down to we've...

We did indeed just miss out on Jayden Laverde two years ago. Bombers took him with the pick just before us. We then took Hugh and then DMac.

Re: VFL- JJ Liston evening- Saints/ Sandy
Yes Kosi- Frosty's short time at the Blues is a black mark on an otherwise stellar career. Still, 29 goals in 11 games, in the years when the Coleman medal was won with 68 and 56 goals respectively, showed he could definitely play.

Great to see the name of Frosty Miller on the top goalkicker trophy . After the 66 GF Alan Morrow retired from the VFL and moved to Dandenong as Captain Coach, and I followed him across and became a 'Nongers fan. ( It was easy in those days - VFL on Saturday and VFA on Sunday ). Frosty Miller was hi...

I recall a number of people on this site were pushing for us to draft Daniel at the time. ( happy to acknowledge I was not one of them) .We did indeed pick Lonie ahead of him and - to be fair - it seemed a good choice last year.
