  1. My cousin claimed he saw Skull, the Brute, Mario Milano and Spiros Arion dining together in a Lygon St restaurant. He actually believed wrestling was real before then.
  2. Skull Murphy’s finishing move was his lethal head but. There was no escape once he administered it. He was reputed to have a skull 5 times thicker than a normal human.
  3. $5 increase is no big deal. Cant even buy a hot meat pie for that money. I just activate KAYO for the footy season only. No interest or time to care about any other sport.
  4. No more abbreviated games please.
  5. What are Grill’d burgers like? I hope they don’t use brioche buns and mayonnaise.
  6. Clean shaving cramps his brand ATM. A sponsorship from Remington, Braun or Gillette might persuade him to change his ways.
  7. She’s seems too mercenary for my liking. I don’t watch many AFLW games and I have never seen her perform more than average when I have. Am I missing something?

    Imagine if we drafted an all time great, club legend premiership captain every year. We stuffed up big time but there was a huge silver lining in the 2009 draft.

    I couldn’t believe it that Trengove was playing with his injury and patently obvious he was as slow as a snail towing a turtle for so long before it got out in the public domain. How he was allowed to play was borderline criminal. For a long time many here were believing there was nothing wrong with him and posters who questioned his mobility were shouted down.

    We did eventually end up with number 10 Jake Melksham as well. The only club to have 2 players from that draft still on its list I believe. A win of sorts?
  11. Need a longer term list like at least 2 decades of data to see if it validates the OP’s claim.

    A decade to forget.
  13. I believe the problem on Demonland is of adults who act like five year olds. Legislation does not address adults impersonating children.
  14. I assume Demonland will fall under the low risk category and likely exempted.
  15. Needs more time in the forward line. Can’t make a unicorn out of a bull.
  16. Despite all the dramas and intrigue surrounding him he still played around his best consistently which is always of a high standard. Does anyone one remember him ever playing a dog of a game? I hope his serious injury and politics wont affect his game for next season.
  17. Since we have Klaus Kinski and Werner Herzog in a Nathan Jones thread.
  18. Hoping he turns out like a versatile Brad Close type player. Needs more harness.
  19. His great finals series in 2021 made it all worth it despite his numerous injury setbacks.
  20. Kozzie was in Bunbury to play in a carnival game last weekend with the clubs blessing along with Neville Jetta. https://thewest.com.au/sport/bush-and-burbs/bush-and-burbs-melbourne-demon-kysaiah-pickett-makes-shock-appearance-in-south-west-football-carnival-c-16477220
  21. Travaglia sounds like an Italian name. Y does not exist in the Italian language. Though I don’t think thats why they spelt it that way or know if they are Italian. Too many parents don’t adhere to established or common name spelling principles for their children these days.
  22. Started his career with a bang but then got bored with footy and is now running the clock down on his contract. Will be back in Port Hedland or wherever after next season.
  23. Harry McKay and Eric Hipwood were first round draft picks that season as well. Lots of big forwards to pick from. Unusual to see so many in one season as first round draft picks and the lower picks turned out the best of the lot. Obviously the talent pool was diluted.
  24. I remember his last game for us against Freo at Optus in 2022. 1 kick, 1 mark and 1 goal all in the second half. He was so bad that day he couldn’t get up the energy to celebrate his goal which came at a handy moment for us. Was lucky to squeeze an extra couple of seasons with the bombers. He only played one game in defence this season in round 24 and looked hopeless and resigned to his fate. He knew his career was over. Best wishes for the future.

    We should give the “Brand” a big fat thak you for this.
