    He's not even that much into footy, but when it's on he gets really fired up. It's hilarious.

    In other news, Great Western defeated Ararat North last week. The final score was 79.41 (515) to 1.0 (6).
    So @MJP when you think things are pretty bad at Whitten Oval, things are never as bad as they are for Ararat Eagles fans.
    A couple of Tiwi Islander blokes kicked 45 goals between them....
    Ararat only had 15 blokes on the ground but they had to play for comp reasons.

    My Dad has a point in that in days gone by you could have the game on the TV, and just by listening, understand what was going on. No hope now and even when two people have the same last surnames they don't bother helping anyone listening to figure out who is who. They don't even regularly call out the score.
    I'm struggling to get my head around 79 goals in a game. 30 in the last quarter.

    I played in a game once where we beat the opposition by 240 points - and it felt like we were kicking goals constantly - whereas these doubled that! 79 goals in 80 minutes of game time!

    Yep a goal every minute is really digging the screws in isn't it?
    Have you been reading those Roddy Doyle books again, Dougal!?

    The last quarter probably went for forty minutes or so!

    I wouldn't have thought so!

    We used to have time on in the ammos.

    Bring it back to Whitten Oval where it started and still belongs. The extra costs involved in hiring Marvel Stadium must be astronomical.

    Country footy I've been involved in still has Seniors with twenty minute quarters plus time on.
    All lower grades have no time on.

    Back in the '701s and '80s VFA quarters always went at least 40 minutes. They had to allow enough time for all the fights.


    At Yarraville they would have to find local kids to do the scoreboard and we worked out that if you added a bit to the away team's score then sometimes they would slacken off toward the end. We, sorry that should read whoever was working the scoreboard, never managed to get the opposition so far in front that Yarraville swamped them and ran over the top but a couple of times the goal umpires got the central umpires to stop the game while they checked on the scores.
