The Guardian has opened voting for the Bird of the Year. Much like when we got Checkers Mark of the Week, it's time to get the magpie up to #1 in the rankings.

I've alluded to this before but I am a teacher, without going into where I teach, we had a few Pies players visit my school today for the grade 3/4's. We had Cloke, Moore and Broomhead come out and do some drills with the kids.
The boys were absolutely fantastic with the kids and absolutely A+...

Really annoying. I click on the TV box, select the game I want, and nothing happens. I don't know why. Classic matches work. Anyone else having these problems?
Done a little bit of study for the 9s, which starts tomorrow morning...the teams with the most experienced players are Souths, Canterbury, Cronulla, Gold Coast and the Warriors.
Inexperienced squads are Melbourne, Brisbane, Penrith (garbage squad) and Wests (likewise).
I've gone for a bit of...
Program being used - Excel Mac 2011
Basically I have a lot of spreadsheets that I use for gambling (I'm not a big time gambler, I just want to be informed when I do punt). My most detailed one is for AFL for a number of different categories such as most goals, first goal, most possession, dream...
Seriously, what's the deal?
Quinten Lynch broke his leg three weeks ago, he is listed as 5-6 weeks away. Freeman has missed almost 14 weeks now, and is listed as 2-3 weeks away with a fk.n hamstring injury.
Seriously, almost every poster just thinks it's a foregone conclusion that should Richmond win, we finish 6th and play Port Adelaide...and hence get stuck in Fremantle's side of the draw for an away final.
Have people actually looked at the ladder and the percentages of the two clubs? We're...
...we played that well today, I've come home and booked flights (to Newcastle....$100+ cheaper), to go to ANZ Stadium next Saturday night.
If we played like busted woodducks, I would have stayed home!
Please don't let me down Pies.
No Tests or ODI's in Hobart, what a disgrace.

For mine...
In - Shaw, D.Thomas
Out - Frost, Elliott
Reasoning, Shaw should be fine after the runs, Carlton have no tall forwards/they are rubbish. Shaw is an automatic.
Daisy is an automatic if deemed fit. I believe Dwyer deserves to play again after his second half, and Sinclair...
In - Seedsman, Young
Out - Buckley (inj), Clarke (susp)
Like for likes, highly expect it to be difficult for Bucks to get up after a corked hip, while Clarke's slide will be heavily scrutinised. It will be made an example of in my honest opinion.
In - Pendlebury, Brown, Didak, Ceglar or Wood
Out - Wellingham (susp), Bruce Reid (fallen to bits), Dawes (omitted), Paine (inj)
If Thomas is out, then Seedsman in.
Had a good win on NHL auctions today winning a match used and signed Jamie Benn stick.
Looks to be the stick used in this picture.
Does anyone else have memorabilia like this?
Thought we might have a thread where we put all our thoughts into how the votes are going for the Copeland. (There may already be one but I couldn't find/be bothered to find a thread in the new layout)...
Up to and including round 10
1. Scott Pendlebury
2. Steele Sidebottom
3. Jarryd Blair

Good segment on the afl site right now is this one by Adam McNicol. Once a week he does a 10 minute video on where old players are these days...so full marks for that.
What I'm wondering about (watch the Wheildon video...
Given there are top 10s all over the place usually, I thought I would get people's opinions on the top 10 umpires.
1. Stevic
2. Rosebury
3. Meredith
4. Wenn
5. McInerney
6. Chamberlain
7. Stewart
8. Kamolins
9. Margetts
10. Donlon
Simply can not consider McBurney, Schmitt...
In - Johnson - Out - Ball (inj). Goes without saying.
In - N.Brown - Out - Reid (inj). I don't care, we need him.
In - Seedsman - Out - Clarke. No more free pass.
In - Didak - Out - Sinclair. No explanation
Others to consider... Ugle, Rounds, Ceglar, Paine, Young, Buckley, Yagmoor.
* Tim Totevski
* Michael Bussey
* Xavier Richards
* Chris Prowse
* Leif Cope
Just wondering if these kids have picked up contracts playing in the metro or country leagues somewhere. All were involved with the Vic Metro squad of 2011.
I have started a large project on a player that played the majority of his career in the 1990s. It is very statistical based, as he is someone that I believe was thought of as being extremely high skilled, and my project is trying to prove that, and to see how he would be compared to the elite...
Hi all, it seems as if the player stats data is no longer found in the results section of the TAC Cup website. Does anyone know where I can find some stats besides games and goals of all the players?
Scott Styris has given the RIP on Twitter...
15 Tests, 56 ODI's (2 100s), 7 T20I's.
Played two ODI's in Australia scoring 3 & 4, and also played two T20I's in Australia, scoring 40 in Hobart.
