Re: AFL Round 19 Discussion
Dang, I was telling everyone at work this all week but I am leading two comps and didn't have the balls to back myself in (knowing that everyone would have went the Cats). The same happened with the West Coast game last week.Comment

Re: AFL Round 19 Discussion
I don't really hate Geelong like I do other clubs. I should like North as they have been strugglers like us, but it must be their supporters and administration - just hate them all.
I think the hatred stems from the 1970's when they were gifted premierships after the AFL changed various rules and they became a powerful onfield club. I remember going to a game at Arden street in the 70's and we got done, as we were walking out some North supporters were having a go at us and I turned around and here is my mate (who had too many to drink), was laying into the North bloke doing all the stirringFFC: Established 1883

I had a vivid encounter at a pub in Canberra after we beat them in 04.
Was on a high after a great win, and said to " I don't know how you can follow the Dogs".!
Just ignored him and enjoyed a great night.

Re: AFL Round 19 Discussion
Fremantle's pressure was just incredible and Ross Lyon's great record at Etihad is intact.
Don't want to look at that 09 draft when we picked Howard ahead of Fyfe.Comment

Some hit and miss there. Obviously Howie impressed someone as a junior. KPP's went well into the 2nd round. And we got Kobes too.Rocket Science: the epitaph for the Beveridge era - whenever it ends - reading 'Here lies a team that could beat anyone on its day, but seldom did when it mattered most'. 15/7/2023Comment

Re: AFL Round 19 Discussion
I really haven't seen enough of Howard. I find it hard to figure out what his problem is. Saw his video online around draft period. Looked half decent at the time.You don't develop courage by being happy in your relationships every day. You develop it by surviving difficult times and challenging adversity. ― EpicurusComment

Maybe just one of those players that shines as a junior but can't cut it against the men.Don't piss off old people
The older we get the less "LIFE IN PRISON" is a deterrent...Comment
