Mike Hussey aka Mr Cricket is ranked 10th!
Unsurprisingly, team name is Baggy Greens lol.
That’s pretty cool 🤙🏾

Still better than mine.

I can relate to that swing, trying to hit the cover off the ball.

Figures... Don't ever want to hear the AFL whinging about how much cash they are losing due to COVID again.

Both WCE & KAN wanted this game shifted and the AFL had a perfect opportunity to allow the Roos to make 700-800k of money they have lost this year, and The Eagles to have some time with their families before finals. Both clubs would have been winners.

Yeh but Gillon has apparently lost money too, Gillon needs it.

I can relate to that swing, one Sunday morning, at a very prestigious Club, dozens of members watching, and me with the mother of all hangovers!

Time for Gil to go I reckon... Claims "Integrity Issues" in not scheduling the WCE vs KAN game in Perth and allowing the Roos to make some valuable cash... Yet I look at the fixture and tomorrow ADE is playing an "Away" game at Adelaide oval against Hawthorn.. But no apparent integrity issues in that is there.

Likewise no "Integrity Issues" in allowing Brisbane & Gold Coast to play nearly every game this season in their home state... Yeah p%@$ off Gil

I have a view .... but for different reasons ...

What has happened to the game since the end of the 2018 season ... I'm struggling to watch a full game these days (1st time in 20+ years)

1. 2019 .. so many untried new rules introduced that I'm not convinced that either the players or umpires know what is going on ...
- Sure they got the obligatory "VFL" rubber stamp over a handful of games ... pfft ... what happened to opening the game up and higher scores !!

2. I'm pretty sure Gil liked the X-AFL concept but when abandoned now seems to have focused on the main comp ... not sure what the end game is but if this year is any indication it doesn't look pretty IMO ...

I agree that the AFL's idea of research and testing is very lame. I'm glad they are not trying to get a vaccine approved!

Good on you @hunterpunter for sharing some of your secret sauce, that’s an amazingly consistent record you have out together!

@BarginHunter - I’d suggest having a good read of this.

 

[blue dreamer]

Does anyone know why Kane Cornes seems to hate Carlton?
Wondering if he got whacked by someone during his playing days and can't let it go, or tried to be traded and was snubbed, or sought a coaching role and was snubbed.
Or maybe I am just being a hypersensitive fan.
Can't recall anything positive EVER about us from him.

 

[Professor]

How good is this kid.

Probably should have been in the "Rant" thread but had just watched last nights footy classified and every time i hear him on tv talking about Carlton i feel like throwing something at the screen.
He is the main reason that i listen much less to SEN than I used to, he makes KB look like a Carlton lover.
If any mods feel strongly enough about these posts being here don't hesitate to move them to rants.
I have finished now (for the time being at least).

Just remember Kane's from Adelaide, no offence to any fellow members, 30 minutes behind. 😜

on another note, did anyone see the current number 1 team is a collaborative of the donors at Too Serious - I hope someone is able to claim the prize if they end up winning the whole thing!

Found this article interesting:

Can't disagree, but BT is still worse than Bruce

 

[Studz]

Wow! @Spots Didn’t realise. How many coaches involved I wonder.....multiple heads triumph over one!

Will be very interesting to see the end result should they win.
