IMO.


Who changes the channel at halftime? I thought everyone goes for a refill/toilet stop/grab some food??

Half time is when you go outside & do burnouts in your mates EH Holden ute while another mate is passed out from playing skull footy because he had Silvagni in the 1st quarter of the 93 GF & Essendon kicked or rushed through 8 points. All of which Silvagni did the kicking in from :D


I had Ablett in the 89 GF
I had to skull 9 shandy’s as a 14 year old


I had Platten in the 88 GF … 23 touches, don’t remember much of the last quarter.
Dunno, I’m just an idiot.

Blockbuster games, max return and priority timeslots to maximise revenue.

Equity and fairness isn’t on the radar… how stupid does he think we are?

*** in fairness, if he reads this forum he’d be right to assume we’re all pretty stupid.


Very stupid is the answer.

The execs used to have crowd attendance in their KPI's - so very easy to manipulate to gain a bonus at season's end.

Eleni was shocking

I thought we were bad but if Nas leaves the Saints are spoon certainties. We fought hard considering but with near on a full team out and losing another tonight it was always going to be a tough ask.
The loss should help our draft position with the Dees pick though

Just a reminder about previous games where Dawson was hit in the face drawing blood costing victory and the Milera “throw” which he hand balled costing a goal

There’s always a steady stream of new contenders but Papley continues to hold the undisputed title of ‘most punchable face in the game’.

If it was a private ballot I’m certain most of his team mates would vote for him too.

Didn’t realise Dawson was a certainty to kick that goal had he been given a shot.

I didn’t realise anything was a certainty after it didn’t happen.

Free kicks get paid, and then they don’t.

I’m sure there were 3 incidents across the game where Collingwood got something that maybe they shouldn’t have.
