    Michael Pickering retires ..

    Having experienced first hand ( as a grateful and admiring parent ) Michael as a coach - when the team was a bunch of ratbags and wideboys who struggled in the lower divisions - this is sad news. He took the group to win the YJFL Colts Div 1 flag ( against Luke Shuey amongst others ) and...

    Royboy Coaches

    Congrats Johnny Barker - debuted with Chris Johnson and Jarrod Molloy vs reigning premiers Essendon @ Princes Park in 1994. Famous victory !! Also .. Freo’s Ross Lyon, said he’d forgotten that he played against Fletcher in 1994. Lyon played against the Bomber in round two 1994, when Fitzroy...

    Assistant Coaches - wanted

    Senior Coach Michael Voss Assistant Coaches Jade Rawlings Beau McDonald Gary O'Donnell Shane Woewodin Adrian Fletcher This is not a strong group IMO. No one destined for 'greater things'. Time to get some old boys back - look at the Cats !!

    News Ltd and NRL

    As a non NRL type ( but sports fan ), the one thing that I've found interesting over the last few days is the amount of 'involvement' that News Ltd have directly into NRL .. at club and at organisation level. Which begs the question - if News Ltd just pulled out of the whole thing, what would...

    Fitzroy No. 29

    Hi guys, I just bought this fantastic Fitzroy training jumper from the 90's on eBay. I'm pretty sure it was player worn and it has No.29 on the back. Could you guys please help me by telling who wore this jumper? Of course this was the number of the legendary Gary Wilson, so I doubt they would...

    Ross Lyon - ball winner to thug

    Lovely article in The Age, with Ross confessing that he got a little 'bitter and twisted' later on in the career and went headhunting, much to his parents' embarrassment. http://www.theage.com.au/news/rfnews/drawing-out-straight-lyon/2009/06/05/1243708628115.html Lyon was a smart utility who...

    Give War A Chance - Howard

    .. all he is saying. Foreign policy that divides your natural allies and unites your enemies must be abandoned. But apparently we're not to talk about that now .. and anyway, Vietnam was a great success. Welcome to the upside down world.

    Nuclear Power - now clean apparently

    The visionary awakes.. "In an age where we're ( it's WE now ) worried about global warming ( SUDDENLY ! ) we should be looking seriously at nuclear power as an option, because it's clean and it doesn't emit greenhouse gases and I can't understand why the extreme Greenies oppose it," he said...

    Ross Lyon - the next Roos ?

    They did have a very similar mullet at one stage.

    Andrew Dolt - game over

    Terrific piece from Crikey to hoist Dolt on his own whatever - couldn't happen to a nicer sneering self promoter. "..In his column (published in the Herald Sun and the Brisbane Sunday Mail in September), Bolt quoted the findings of Jeff Severinghaus, Professor of Geosciences at the University...

    Don't Panic - Official Climate Change Policy

    For all those Climate Change Deniers - even the Federal Government have adopted the following stance. The federal Environment Minister says a climate change report warning of more erratic weather and rising sea levels is not cause for alarm. The new government report on climate change says...

    Ruddock - drowning, not waving...

    .. still blaming everyone else. His impersonation of a creepy local Nazi official - snide innuendos, screaming ambition, weasly words - gets better. It's Nuremberg, Phil, but the defence of only obeying orders is just not cutting it. Maybe a promotion - some overseas posting and a gong - is on...

    Political SPAM

    Just when you thought that it couldn't get any worse, we're now considered targets for unlimited spam from politicians. What's with that ? Who actually runs these spamming companies ? Anyone we know ?

    The O word

    I'm finding the use by politicians of the word OBVIOUSLY when stating their case is increasing .. and incredibly patronising. No 1 in this is the ruddy faced 'Lord' Downer -spluttering from his club chesterfield - he cannot get thru' an interview without using this word a number of times. The...

    Fixtures

    I'm assuming we play the PF against the Demons / Cats / Bombers / Power pool ? And assuming Power win, we'll be playing at the G v melbourne-based teams. Can someone confirm this ?

    Regrets of 2004 ..

    .. so far The Hawks' decision on Hodge before Judd. Admit it. Jade Rawlings turning down the Cats. He'd be King of Corio by now. Hawks' coach prediction. CentreLink bound. any more emerging ?

    Encouraging

    Best, Lions: L Spaanderman, T Logan, M Rischitelli, J Drummond, J Adcock. Do tell, Qldians. Rischi ( Benaud ) was a surprise draftee but he's getting a fair wrap.

    Crowd at the G

    It was fantastic to see a huge Lions rollout at the G on Saturday Night - that would be the first time I can recall a game v Pies where we clearly 'out supported' them. So many RoyBoy scarfs and beanies dug out to cheer on Lynchy - a magic night ( once feeling returns to my extremities ). And...

    Lack of interest ..

    Will Rocca be sighted for his front-on head high charge on Copeland that laid him out .. or has everyone lost interest in this 'serial offender' now that they are celler dwellers ? Apparently the Pies are now complaining about Lynch ..

    Hang in there, buddy. You've given us so much pleasure in your relatively short career .. you're all footy and team and hopefully there's more reward to come.

    Corrie for PM

    We in Melbourne DEMAND the return of the lad Corrie. He was just marvelous v Bombers and is now an official cult figure. You had to be there to appreciate what an impact he had - absolutely poleaxed by 'clumsy' Fletcher and, within a minute had outmarked the new official AFL smartarse McPhee in...

    He beat me to it

    The Lions yesterday fined defender Darryl White about $1000 for making an obscene gesture to the crowd during the Round 12 game against Essendon at Telstra Dome. Well done DJ. There should be a whiparound from all members who attended.
