I agree, we would be making up the numbers, unlike 2004 and 2005 where we were genuine contenders.

westcoastwizard, thanks for the kind words. A late "welcome" to the forum

what did he say to give that impression? None of the "I'm nearing the end of my career", "My age is catching up to me"... not once did he say any of those things. Just said he would think about it once the season is over and was still uncertain. Certainly didn't sound like he wa...

Geez..Battye...ure easily pleased.........4 goal lead thrown away......we start playing like we have lost control of our limbs.....and your happy with the effort?????

Looks like he might go on next year...

Well done to the boys. Was a great game to watch, unfortunately we just weren't good enough. West Coast were a better team, and to get as close as we did was amazing.

2008 is ours!

Wasn't there a dropping the ball decision paid to Hamill against Fremantle several years ago? It would've been 'Holding the Ball'. When the umpire makes that signal with both arms starting inwards and then sweeping outwards, the signal if for Holding the Ball. Hamil may have actually dropped the ba...

No reason to be on a diet anymore for Baker I guess, now that he's not playing for the rest of the year.

And part of next year.

"Free kick to Carlton dropping the ball" in reality!!! As an ex-umpire I can assure all of you that there is no such rule for 'Dropping the Ball'. There is 'Holding the Ball' or 'Throwing the Ball' but not 'Dropping the Ball'. Wasn't there a dropping the ball decision paid to Hamill again...

Time to go to court.

Nelson Mandela was the first democratically elected president after the end of Apartheid (put simply, white rule) in South Africa.

Does Telstra Dome have a decent drainage system?

IMO they should leave the roof open while it's raining, give the grass a bit of water...

Gee, some decent odds there.

I can understand this being an issue in Under 8 Aus kick games but this is adults playing men v men.
