Completely unnecessary reference.
The gag hardly made any sense.

I mean if RL had gone to Sydney instead of Freo, you could use that one, but not in the case of Walsh.

Paul Kelly song line buddy.

I don't think he took the 13 hour bus though.

That's right!

Although, I thought he was trying to play more on some sort of "red light district" theme.

Can live with that. It's true.

ROFL at the sensitivity/paranoia that pulses through the veins of our fanbase.


Clueless and mediocre petty tyrant.

Especially when a lot of posters have been saying exactly the same thing!

Completely unnecessary reference. Wonder how long it took Gleeson to think up that one? Posted on-line at 3.00am, so he must have sat up half the night thinking about it.
Yes, what a bozo...trying to be 'hip', he quotes a Paul Kelly song from about 1986!

i agree re collingwood, but they had such a positive article about them that i wanted to spew!
What about Caroline Wilson's suck job on Eddie on the weekend?

Nauseating!

The writers of the stories don't write the headlines. Sub-Editors do that (someone just said that I know.....). When you read the articles they are quite often not that bad. But the Headlines can make your blood boil.

'Saints Draft Weak'.....clearly some clever dick who can't get a job writing the main stuff.

There was even a slight spin on Lyin joining Freo for a while but, I think may be because The West Australian is pro-Eagles. Something else to consider is that I think Watters is the first West Australian to coach a major AFL/VFL team.
Was Polly Farmer a sandgroper who coached Geelong?
I don't think he coached them. Just played for them and revolutised the game at the same time

But in the Paul Kelly song he soon comes to realise his mistake.

"I want to see the sun go down from St Kilda esplanade
Where the beach needs reconstruction, where the palm trees have it hard
I'd give you all of Sydney harbour (all that land, all that water)
For that one sweet promenade"


So maybe Tommy will return one day  8-)

I love how Ralphy from the Sun used the word indignity, love to know what word he would of used if he'd walked for nothing.

They also sponsor Melbourne and Carlton and probably all the Melbourne teams. I'm happy with the sponsorship as I get The Age for next to nothing and I like the crossword and sudoko.
