Hello my very good friends from the Sunshine State!
First, I'd like to take back all of my posts in the Syria is better than Queensland thread. Was all just a bit of fun, of course.
Secondly, I'm currently in Brisbane and would like to go to the preliminary final next weekend. Any ideas as to...
Now that the footy's out of the way, the players can concentrate on the important things like giving not so subtle product plugs on Twitter and Instagram, turning up to bar/ boutique/ letter openings in $200 graphic t-shirts and ridiculous snap back caps, not to mention giving us long suffering...
I've got a ticket to Friday night's game that's now surplus to requirements. The catch is that it's "restricted view" (BAY4-R) but that shouldn't be a drama as I was intending on using it to gain entry to the ground and then heading across to the hill where the view is more than adequate.
An...
As I was lucky enough to attend the 'Train With The Team' function on Wednesday evening as one of the winners of the sponsors' draw, I thought I'd share a few highlights.
Format
We were split into five groups and rotated through the following:
1. Tour of gym/treatment rooms
2. Ruck drill
3...
As some of you may be aware, the club is currently running an online auction that offers "over 100 unique items and experiences" such as a snapper fishing trip with Ben Cunnington and Majak Daw and a Western Bulldogs team signed guernsey 2015 (I kid you not). More details here...
...for proving that you're as big a campaigner off the field as you are on it.
I was listening to the Triple M pre-game show today and they interviewed Lewis and were cracking jokes about his various real estate interests around Hawthorn and down on the Peninsula and generally how he's shunned...
The thread title says it all really. What a sh*tfully boring day.
Come on Gilligan, turn Good Friday into Grouse Friday by playing North v Hawks under the lights at the G. Next year would be perfect to kick this off as we'll be unfurling our 2015 flag and it will also signify the symbolic...
It's literally been going on for decades.

...professional footballers had to have skills on BOTH sides of their bodies in order to get on an AFL list? I know that these days the game is more aerobically demanding and there's a heightened focus on athleticism, but the ability to execute difficult skills effectively can often be that 1%...
Cheer up, there's always someone worse off than yourself ...
I'll be thinking of the great man whenever I'm lifting an overloaded deadlift bar with poor form.
Was listening to some of today's game on Triple M and the commentary team consisted of Ricciuto and a bunch of biased no-name South Australians who kept referring to the "fact" that there had been some sort of mystery "illness" that had "swept through the Adelaide camp during the week".
Those...
Getting Brad Scott over Nafan "Robert Walls MkII" Buckley.
Giving Dawes a run in the ruck isn't going to miraculously make him an AFL footballer's bumhole.
He may not have hit the scoreboard but I bet the coaching staff were very happy with his game last night. He managed to blunt Fletcher's influence on the game while also giving Tarrant and Hansen space to work in. As Ricciuto pointed out during the call, his decoy leading was to dangerous spots...
10 - North Melbourne over Melbourne
10 - Collingwood over Sydney
9 - Geelong over Hawthorn
9 - Hawthorn over Carlton
9 - Carlton over Richmond
9 - Hawthorn over Melbourne
9 - Geelong over Melbourne (1 draw, 8 wins)
9 - Western Bulldogs over Richmond (4 wins, draw, 4 wins)
On last night's...
I think we can all agree that Nick Riewoldt has played some good to very good footy over the years. As zero premierships would attest, he probably hasn't reached the heights of greatness that his legions of fapping Saints admirers would claim, but that's a debate for another day.
However, when...
I watched about a minute of this last night before I remembered why I stopped watching it years ago - it's a complete crock of sh*t. However, it appears since last time I watched it that there has been a lineup change. Who's the drag queen that's replaced Sam Lane? Seriously, that's one of the...
Ex Carlton and Saints. Culture.

Carey was a good bloke before this guy became his manager.
In no particular order:
1. Wellsy. Scintillating.
2. Boomer's goal. Schwing!
3. Jack's 3rd, 4th and 5th efforts ploughing the ball forward in one passage of play in the last quarter.
4. Sammy's goal and then giving it to Goddard.
5. A 59 point turn around from early in the second quarter.

We're only five rounds in and the quality teams are starting to put some daylight between themselves and the also rans. Already some pre-season flag fancies are starting to fall off the pace with less than 50% winning ratios. So which, if any, of the teams currently on two wins can make the 8...
Now that the federal and state governments are propping up the Handbaggers' major sponsor Ford, will taxpayers have a say as to how things are run down at Kardinia Park? Team selections by plebiscite perhaps...
... because I've never heard of a diamond-encrusted Soda Stream.

This morning I had the very good fortune of attending a morning tea at The Huddle in recognition of the club's Community Ambassador program. It was attended by a number of supporters who had purchased Community Ambassador memberships, Community Ambassadors and the player ambassadors (Drew, Pedo...
