    Things that please me - Part 5

    I was expecting and hoping for it. After 13 years, 8 months, it was clear there was no investment being made on any level on me or the department, and there was as cold shoulder from the head of the department. When the trigger was pulled, it was welcome, and I left on very good terms. You never...

    Sayings or phrases that just really piss you off.

    The earliest use I am aware of is Ablett's final quarter goal of the 2007 Prelim v Collingwood Since then, over-used by others for ordinary moments. The best commentary is spontaneous and original, always. Dennis was great. Sandy could also drop a good one. "Like a cork in the ocean..."...

    Patrick Dangerfield vs Nathan Buckley

    I would also rather have Buckley as a captain Dangerfield talks too much crap. Listened to him at the B&F last year and I honestly had no idea what point he was trying to make. He must have gone to the Luke Darcy "School of Political Correctness and Generic Buzzword Usage." Nothing of substance...

    Rumour Ricky Nixon selling dodgy footballs?

    When he's done, he'll cut off somebody else's arm and take it for himself anyway

    Worst coach sacking in VFL/AFL history

    True to an extent, but given that Jeans resigned and wasn't sacked, the players had no reason to resent the next coach. Joyce had a very caustic style. As a communicator, I thought he was terrible in, "Year of the Dogs". He had nothing constructive to say, and just stated frustration and...

    Worst coach sacking in VFL/AFL history

    The players didn't like him. Gary Ayres and Alan Joyce fell out, as did many others. Hawthorn was in a terrible place at the time, but compare the loyalty between the players between Allan Jeans, then Alan Joyce, and it's chalk and cheese. The only player I've ever heard state appreciation for...

    Worst coach sacking in VFL/AFL history

    Northey wasn't sacked. He had a year to run, wanted an extension and Leon Daphne refused, so he went to Brisbane Richmond was idiotic to not provide Northey with an extension. The players were loyal to him.

    Do you want the Premiership cup to stay in your own state if your team dosen't win it?

    No. It really isn't. Few sporting venues in the world have the atmosphere, facilities and history of the MCG I've had friends go to Anfield, and comment on what a run-down pile of crap it was, and the crowd was terrible. I've had friends go to NFL games, MLB games etc. and all say that nothing...

    Toast The Joel Selwood Stand

    Yeah. There to watch the footy without being a pampered poodle :thumbsu: Mind you, I am glad they changed the stand. It was time to move on from the 1960s :) "The Players Stand" and "The Premiership Stand" are two stands with pissweak names that I would like to see changed. They stand for...
