NAB Cup Semi: BBBB Hall sees Dogs Home in Tacklefest
Posted by Steve Healy on March 6th, 2010

A seventh NAB cup game decided by 14 points or less took place tonight, between a rampant Bulldogs outfit and a young and surprising Port Adelaide side. It was a game of tough contests aplenty, where the umpires put the whistles down and both sides put in an input of 164 tackles.
It all started well for Port. The Dogs won the toss but the Power won the opening battle. Gray snapped one through to put them on the board in an instant, while Tredrea converted a set shot from 50 in style. Barry Hall, last week’s revelation, took his first of nine marks but dragged the set shot at goal from 30 violently to the left. A few minutes of hard, ragged footy followed, with Brodie Moles once again showing his worth to the team. The Dogs lifted, but Hill and Murphy just couldn’t convert goals. Cloke almost kicked a remarkable one from the throw in, which just clipped the post. He followed it up by marking the kick in, and bending it from left to right magnificently for the first goal in what seemed like an eternity. Port had the edge; the Dogs didn’t have the goals. It came though, just before the quarter time break. An indiscretion from the Port Adelaide Captain saw Griffen drill home a nine-pointer from 25 metres out. The siren signalled the end to a good first term, the Dogs trailing 1.0.3 12 to 0.3.3 21.
The Dogs started the second term in style, a long kick inside 50 from Griffen to Hall on the lead, and a hand pass to Cooney, a clumsy one at that, for a goal. At the other end, a dubious free kick was given against Lake for a push, which saw impressive youngster Daniel Stewart drill a goal from a tough angle. Tom Williams kicked it out on the full in the back pocket, which saw Paul Stewart casually walk around and snap a goal to put the away team 16 points in the clear. It didn’t look good for the Dogs at this stage; it could’ve had something to do with leaving Hargrave and Higgins in blue vests on the pine. Behinds from Griffen and Hall followed before Hahn marked beautifully and sent it straight through the middle. The Dogs kept going. Minson sent the ball from half forward to a two on one in the pocket. Hill was the only Bulldog; he took the mark fabulously, and gave it off to Griffen who kicked the goal. It was unselfish acts galore tonight. Gray snapped a goal against the flow of play for the Power, only to be answered immediately by a rampant Akermanis on the run, who had a great night, 17 possessions, 11 tackles and a goal. The quarter ended with a goal on the siren to Hall, his first, putting the Dogs seven points ahead. 1.5.8 47 to 0.6.4 40.
A couple of missed opportunities early in the third came back to the haunt them when Pearce kicked a goal from outside 50, levelling the scores. Murphy evaded two tacklers before sending a long ball down the throat of Higgins. This was exciting stuff. Higgins, who had just come on the ground along with Hargrave, kicked the goal, and it was back to a goal the difference. Hall snaps a goal from a Chaplin out on the full. But, not for the first time of the night, the tide turned. Daniel Stewart put home two successive goals for Port, and newcomer Mitch Banner put the boys from Alberton in the lead. Ward delivered to Hall at the other end, who kicked a much needed third goal just before the buzzer. At three quarter time both sides were deadlocked, 1.8.13 70 to 1.9.7 70. It was hard to pick a winner from here.
Ebert threaded one home for the Power, before Big Bad Barry replied, kicking his fourth. He marked in the forward line again, could’ve kicked a fifth, but kicked across to Moles who guided it through to put the Doggies in front. Neither side could manage a goal for a while, but it appeared that the Bulldogs had the psychological edge. Eight points up, the Bulldogs fumbled horribly in defence, gifting a goal to (Former Lion) Harding on the run. There were four minutes left on the clock. Port pressed inside their attacking zone, and a brilliant tap from Brogan to Harding saw a second goal from him in a minute, and more importantly, a Port Adelaide lead. But it was Harding who dragged the ball underneath him in the centre, which gave the Dogs a chance to clear. Higgins marked at half forward, before sending it to the tip of the square. Hall flew in the pack, clutching the mark wonderfully, before handing it over (for the third time tonight) to Lake who kicked the clincher. That was it, The Dogs won.
Barry Hall was the star; he took nine marks, kicked four goals but could’ve easily kicked seven or eight. Despite this, I still think the Power deserved the victory. Nevertheless, you can’t help but feel gratitude towards the Western Bulldogs, who are competing for their first piece of silverware since 1970 next Saturday Night.
Western Bulldogs 1.0.3 1.5.8 1.8.13 1.11.17 (92)

Good work Steve,
Nice use of stats, yeah Daniel Stewart was a good target up forward, there is no doubt he will be pressing for selection, the tackling wass outstanding as well.
March 6th, 2010 at 12:21 pm
Yeah, it was really great how the umpires let the game go for heaps of it. Really fierce tackling, cross, akermanis and Picken had 31 tackles between them. Interesting to note that Port have scored 12 super goals in their last 5 nab cup games, I think
March 7th, 2010 at 12:34 pm
Bloody 5AA commentators, Jurrah dislocated his shoulder, what liars!
March 7th, 2010 at 12:53 pm
What is the diagnosis Dr Healy?
March 7th, 2010 at 1:06 pm
He definitely dislocated his shoulder, and he will have scans today.
March 7th, 2010 at 1:46 pm
Dislocated shoulders are worse than a broken arm Steve.
March 7th, 2010 at 1:51 pm

March 7th, 2010 at 1:51 pm

March 7th, 2010 at 2:39 pm
35: Damn, hope it works soon.
March 7th, 2010 at 2:40 pm
Lol, okay Steve.
I was reading this thing the other day about all these dudes complaining and saying that they like girls more without any makeup and I seriously find that weird cos when ever I see a couple the girl has a painted face on and her dude looks very happy with himself. You guys don’t make any sense
Ps- what a way to turn 17, thanks a lot princess Riewoldt!
March 7th, 2010 at 2:41 pm
I hope the Sydney V Roos game is avalible to listen to online, cos I need Friday night footy
March 7th, 2010 at 2:43 pm
38: I don’t like girls with makeup. Well, they don’t look bad but just the natural look that God gave them is fine. Although i will admit some girls need plenty of makeup.
March 7th, 2010 at 2:44 pm
38- I dont care either way, to tell you the truth
March 7th, 2010 at 2:45 pm
40- there we go, perfect example
first u say that they look better withot but then u say some need plenty! lmaoo
i dont get it!
March 7th, 2010 at 2:45 pm
41- lmao and then u get steve u who doenst even care! this is gold!
March 7th, 2010 at 2:46 pm
42: No i mean girls look fine from my point of view, but some girls are completely fugly and will most likely dip their face in a pool of foundation.
March 7th, 2010 at 2:47 pm
Im not lying, I really dont care. I mean go ahead, put make up on, but I won’t respect you any more or less either way
March 7th, 2010 at 2:49 pm
I hate how my Mum brushes her hair when we go to the Waaia shop. No one in Waaia will care if you have messy hair! Most of them don’t even have hair.
March 7th, 2010 at 2:51 pm
44- the only time i did that was for school photos so i dont look pale, and it worked. lol
45- lol love to see what kind of girl steve ends up with..i cnt really picture her yet..
March 7th, 2010 at 2:52 pm
46- lmaoooo well i dont leave the house without atleast eyeliner and mascara on.
March 7th, 2010 at 2:53 pm
Danni, did the storms damage any windows in your house?
March 7th, 2010 at 2:55 pm
49- no but my brother kicked the soccer ball throught the garage window the other day lol
March 7th, 2010 at 2:56 pm
47: I wonder what some of the girls at my school would look like if they didn’t put makeup on.
March 7th, 2010 at 2:57 pm
51- lol well when i dont wear any, cos i have decided to sleep in instead of get up and make myself look good all i get is
“danni, wow u look dead”
or
“geee, danni u look really tired”
and even
“are you alright, u look a bit sick”
March 7th, 2010 at 3:02 pm
32- app theres gonna be another strom today
March 7th, 2010 at 3:03 pm
My hair looks best after its been deliberately done, then messed up again.
March 7th, 2010 at 3:06 pm
I havent washed my hair for weeks, its called an experiment
March 7th, 2010 at 3:06 pm
The hair looks the best three days after its been washed. Then when i use hair wax it sticks straight up in the air for a couple of hours then it resorts to being my normal hair that i had at the North v Cats game.
March 7th, 2010 at 3:07 pm
54- lol ill bet
March 7th, 2010 at 3:08 pm
55- lmaoo steve
56- josh i can tell u put effort into ur do.
March 7th, 2010 at 3:08 pm
I never use wax, gel or a brush. My only things that control my hair style are my hands and a towel
March 7th, 2010 at 3:08 pm
58: Effort? That’s an understatement
March 7th, 2010 at 3:09 pm
60- lmaoo josh i can see us fighting over a mirror!
March 7th, 2010 at 3:10 pm
I’m up to 114 hours of driving now, I drove into the city today, we passed the Clyde.
March 7th, 2010 at 3:10 pm
Lol haha i’m always getting told off for spending too much time looking into a mirror, whether it be in the car, at home or in a shop’s window reflection.
March 7th, 2010 at 3:11 pm
62: Go past it again and get my footy would ya?
March 7th, 2010 at 3:11 pm
Here’s my advice: Spend less time looking in a mirror and worrying about what you look like, and spend more time concentrating on the important things in life: Footy.
March 7th, 2010 at 3:12 pm
62- lol your so lucky!
63- OMG me too! i stop and look into other peoples car windows in the carpark to check myeself out.
lmao
March 7th, 2010 at 3:13 pm
65- lmaoooooo
March 7th, 2010 at 3:13 pm
66: i think i did that once and saw someone looking straight back at me.
65: Footy’s finished for the week Stephen.
Status – working on a new article
March 7th, 2010 at 3:13 pm
You two sound like my brother, he cares about his hair.
March 7th, 2010 at 3:13 pm
Haha Danni, my phone comes with a mirror.
March 7th, 2010 at 3:14 pm
Josh, I’ve been told this many times and said this many times:
Footy never finishes
March 7th, 2010 at 3:15 pm
70- OMG NO WAYY!!
March 7th, 2010 at 3:16 pm
i have this lip-gloss that comes with a mirror, last year i even had one up in my locker. thsi year i carry one in my pocket.
March 7th, 2010 at 3:16 pm
72: Yes way, it has a chrome top on it when its flipped shut and you can see yourself easily in it. Little did i know i bought a girls phone when i purchased it though, oh well it’s been a good to me.
March 7th, 2010 at 3:16 pm
A good reason for me to not worry about my hair is that most girls are too short to see a lot of it.
March 7th, 2010 at 3:16 pm
I’ve never understood mirrors, I mean if you look through them, you’re not looking at yourself, your looking at the complete opposite of you, so therefore, if you try and make yourself look better, your making yourself look worse. That’s my theory
March 7th, 2010 at 3:18 pm
76: Hahahaha
March 7th, 2010 at 3:18 pm
75- lmaooo Adam u have nice hair but i recond it would look hotter if it was messier instead of neat.
76- …..okayy.. lmao like i said i cnt wait to meet ur girl steve
March 7th, 2010 at 3:19 pm
My mum and my brother are obsessed with their hair. I can understand why my mum is, the “caring about hair” gene is common in females, but my bro?
March 7th, 2010 at 3:19 pm
well, I’ve gotta find a girl first, I dont know where to look apart from the girls toilets in public places, which would give me a bad reputation, so I dunno Danni.
March 7th, 2010 at 3:20 pm
80- lmaooo hahahahahahahahhahaha!!!
steve, CHADSTONE is like girlcentral!!
March 7th, 2010 at 3:20 pm
80: Hahahaha
http://www.gadgetsmonkey.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/03/se4.jpg
That is my phone Danni
March 7th, 2010 at 3:21 pm
I’ve never been to Chadstone.
March 7th, 2010 at 3:22 pm
I’ve never been to Chad’s Stone
March 7th, 2010 at 3:23 pm
82- cool
83- really?its shopping heaven!
ohh and steve, maybe if u didnt look to much at the game, you might find a girl at the footy, halftime is alwayd good to browse
March 7th, 2010 at 3:23 pm
At least your phone isnt bright pink, lol, then it would be obvious.
Yeah, well I’ve got other things on my mind when im at chadstone, like going to McDonalds and seeing a movie, but when I do see some good looking girls, I give a long glance.
lunch time, cya
March 7th, 2010 at 3:24 pm
Haha you know when Steve is interested in you, when he is staring at you for ages.
March 7th, 2010 at 3:25 pm
86: Enjoy your finely cooked meat Steve.
March 7th, 2010 at 3:26 pm
Danni do you know:
a) How far Eltham is away from Chadstone
b) How many shopping centres there are closer?
March 7th, 2010 at 3:26 pm
87- thats really bad though, we get creeped out when guys stare for ages…
March 7th, 2010 at 3:26 pm
89- lol
a- no
b- no
March 7th, 2010 at 3:27 pm
They should build a shopping centre in Waaia..
March 7th, 2010 at 3:28 pm
92: Thought they already had one:
http://www.saskschools.ca/~gregory/photos/genstore.jpg
March 7th, 2010 at 3:29 pm
lmao i can imagine steve just starting, not showing any emotion just staring, how creepy, he should really not do that. lmaoo
March 7th, 2010 at 3:30 pm
Ha Ha Bulman, more like this:
http://misg.com.au/content/product/thumb/Waaia_Store-36-40.jpg
But in 10 years Waaia will be a moderate sized town with a population of 300,000, we need to accomodate now.
March 7th, 2010 at 3:30 pm
93- OMG sovereign hill!! I love that place, so much hot guys
March 7th, 2010 at 3:30 pm
Once again in the words of Brian Taylor, ITS ABSOLUTELY PISSING DOWN!
March 7th, 2010 at 3:36 pm
status- swearing at english essay
March 7th, 2010 at 3:36 pm
I can relate.
March 7th, 2010 at 3:37 pm
I love remembering that we get the day off tomorrow.
March 7th, 2010 at 3:39 pm
I’m driving to Malmsbury tomorrow with Dad.
March 7th, 2010 at 3:40 pm
100- yeah i love remembering how every teacher thought “ohh long weekend more hw for u!”
March 7th, 2010 at 3:41 pm
Simon Taylor broke his leg yesterday. Stupid North Melbourne, they were supposed to target Gibson!
March 7th, 2010 at 3:42 pm
..And Sewell has a broken collarbone
March 7th, 2010 at 3:43 pm
101- lol i have no idea where that is.
103- gasp! so mean
March 7th, 2010 at 3:48 pm
Mean is leaving your club for a ‘better’ team.
March 7th, 2010 at 3:56 pm
Herald Sun Poll today:
“Is Etihad Stadium the best venue to watch footy?”
So far:
61% said NO
39% said YES
March 7th, 2010 at 3:57 pm
103- thanks for that information Josh, thats absolutely terrible news for the Hawks.
No, its more like staring with a smile
March 7th, 2010 at 3:58 pm
Etihad and the MCG, you can’t split them from my point of view. Although the G has better bigscreens and i’d rather be in the elements instead of under a roof.
March 7th, 2010 at 3:58 pm
107- It should be about 90% no, 10% yes
March 7th, 2010 at 3:59 pm
108- lol are u sure….. ??
lmao i remba when u were staring at me at the launch it was kinda, no expression wierd lmaoo
106- thats true..
107- yay lol
March 7th, 2010 at 3:59 pm
you can easily split them, the MCG is an iconic ground, better facilities, easier to access, built on better ground, bigger, and it has the character that Etihad doesn’t. Etihad definitely needs bigger screens, and better quality
March 7th, 2010 at 4:00 pm
wait a minute..im right! ur too shy to smile at girls steve!
March 7th, 2010 at 4:00 pm
Sorry Danni, I won’t do that again, sorry
March 7th, 2010 at 4:00 pm
no, i’ve smiled at girls before, but generally im too shy in front of girls ill admit
March 7th, 2010 at 4:01 pm
MCG is the godfather of stadiums in Australia, it has far more history, and far more atmosphere. Etihad is a younger brother who tries too hard to impress people.
March 7th, 2010 at 4:02 pm
114- lol thats alright, just practise.
115- yeah i had that idea, i mean u hardly spoke 2 words to me.
March 7th, 2010 at 4:03 pm
116- lmao i love the G
once i walk onto the grounds i can forget about everything, it makes me feel happy.
March 7th, 2010 at 4:04 pm
You cant compare Etihad to the G, I mean, I love Etihad, its a good footy ground, but jeez, the MCG is just amazing, you cant say Etihad is better
March 7th, 2010 at 4:04 pm
117- Did I? I probably wasn’t aware of it
March 7th, 2010 at 4:06 pm
SHIT! We’re getting attacked by weather! I’d say this is worse than what Melbourne got, can’t hear anything because of the hail stones. We had a possum at our front door scratching to get in, then it ran away. Jeez!! Our roof is gonna collapse.
March 7th, 2010 at 4:07 pm
120- lmaoo at first josh was doing it, but he was more subtle, but you were kinda just really staring so i felt a tad awkward, thats when i walked up to you guys, so ud stop standing there just kinda staring. lmaoo
March 7th, 2010 at 4:07 pm
121- This is what I went through yesterday Josh, my bedroom roof felt like it was gonna collapse too. How big are they Josh?
March 7th, 2010 at 4:08 pm
Sorry Danni, I need to redeem myself next time I see you, which could be a while
March 7th, 2010 at 4:09 pm
118- Amen
March 7th, 2010 at 4:10 pm
From the Herald Sun:
“Many football fans, including former AFL chief executive Wayne Jackson, prefer watching games at Etihad Stadium than any other venue. Part of this is do to with fixing the initial problems, as well as the comfort levels of a stadium with a roof and an up close feel.”
Then it says:
“So too, is the cat the ground has a history. New stadiums are shiny, but it is only when they can boast a past that they form a part of the future in the minds of fans.”
WHAT?
March 7th, 2010 at 4:11 pm
which herald sun prison escapee wrote this?
March 7th, 2010 at 4:12 pm
Glenn McFarlane.
MCG – over 150 years old
Etihad – not even 10 years old
What history?
March 7th, 2010 at 4:13 pm
Bloomin heck, the weather is crazy up here, our backyard is flooding!
By the way my souvalaki was incredibly delicious lol.
March 7th, 2010 at 4:14 pm
ME LOVES RALPHY!
March 7th, 2010 at 4:15 pm
The MCG is easily the best building in the world, therefore you cant compare it to anything
March 7th, 2010 at 4:15 pm
Gee it sounds like Waaia/Numurkah could be under water soon
March 7th, 2010 at 4:16 pm
gee i hope Josh and Jeff anf Greg are okay
March 7th, 2010 at 4:16 pm
lol we keep trying to get the dog in the house but he is too busy barking at the thunder.
March 7th, 2010 at 4:17 pm
I hope book world and the strip club are okay in shepparton
March 7th, 2010 at 4:20 pm
i miss the hail, come back to melbourne please!
March 7th, 2010 at 4:23 pm
Imagine if the storm had hit in the middle of a horserace.
March 7th, 2010 at 4:25 pm
Hey guys,
Just had a small ride about 25km, we rode past Scoresby which was the worst affected suburb from the hailstorm yesterday, I can guarantee their are tarpaulins over the rooves of each house.
Gee I hope Josh and Jeff are alright.
Yeah I read that article in the Herald Sun, celebrating 10 years of Etihad Stadium, I don’t remember Gerard Whately being escorted off on live TV by a sercurity guard.
March 7th, 2010 at 4:29 pm
Damo – Wrong. 1 year of Etihad Stadium.
March 7th, 2010 at 4:31 pm
Fine- 3 years of colonial Stadium
5 years of Telstra Dome
2 years of Etihad Stadium
March 7th, 2010 at 4:33 pm
Has 2010 already happened? Jeez I must have slept through it all.
March 7th, 2010 at 4:34 pm
It’s funny how the name of the MCG has lasted over 150 times longer than that of what the Herald Sun claim to be Victoria’s best place to watch football, Etihad.
March 7th, 2010 at 4:37 pm
This is the second year under the rights of Etihad stadium, don’t get sarcastic on me! lol.
Yeah and in Docklands’ brief history it has had more contoversies in regards to it’s surface, ticketing, scheduling and conditions.
It would have been more effective if they kept Waverley Park!!!
March 7th, 2010 at 4:37 pm
its pretty ridiculous that a stadium cant keep a name for longer than 5-6 years
March 7th, 2010 at 4:40 pm
Well, they built Etihad stadium on concrete, there was always gonna be problems with the surface.
They should’ve kept Waverley park, I know it was built in a rain belt and had poor facilities and hard to access, but it had character
March 7th, 2010 at 4:41 pm
Kardinia Park 1941- 1996
Shell Stadium 1997-2001
Baytec Stadium 2002
Dalai Lama Stadium 2002
Skilled Stadium 2002-Present
March 7th, 2010 at 4:43 pm
Thanks for that Damo, lol.
March 7th, 2010 at 4:43 pm
145- Certainly agree with you Steve, although Waverley Park did have the best facilities in the country for a period at one stage they planned to play Grand Finals there.
The Government should have provided public transport towards the ground, that’s what killed the poor old stadium in 1999/2000, it’s lack of accessability.
March 7th, 2010 at 4:45 pm
Football Park 1974-2002 Stadium Australia 1999-2002
AAMI Stadium 2003- present Telstra Stadium 2002-2007
ANZ stadium 2008- present
Anymore Steve? lol
March 7th, 2010 at 4:46 pm
I was hoping they could play some challenge matches there in the future.
They should bring Visy Park back to an AFL stadium, and consider Casey Fields
March 7th, 2010 at 4:46 pm
The grounds that are used for cricket don’t tend to change their names, cricket is a very purist sport.
March 7th, 2010 at 4:47 pm
i have always wanted to buy my own footy ground so that Collingwood could train on it
March 7th, 2010 at 4:47 pm
Princes Park?
March 7th, 2010 at 4:50 pm
Well Collingwood will have Olympic Park soon, they shunted out Athletics Victoria which my race walking friend is ropeable about, bloody Eddie!!
I think Waverley still has a capacity of about 2000 so the Box Hill Hawks should play home matches there.
Princes Park 1897-1993
Optus Oval 1994-2007
MC Labour Park 2007-2008
Visy Park 2008- present
March 7th, 2010 at 4:52 pm
Steve isn’t Melbourne using the new Bubble Dome as it’s administartion and at times training facility?
March 7th, 2010 at 4:54 pm
Here is a great video of the flooding yesterday in the CBD: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M0BwVoKNFGM
March 7th, 2010 at 4:59 pm
Damo, tell the truth, do you miss fev?
March 7th, 2010 at 5:05 pm
Well in terms of our forward structure, yes we need an efficient goalkicker.
Personality wise? I’m glad he is out of the club! His rap sheet is longer than the Flemington strait.
March 7th, 2010 at 5:10 pm
158- lmaooo!!!
dont worry u should just put good old duckie at forward!
March 7th, 2010 at 5:12 pm
Where does the nickname ‘Duckie’ originate from? did you make it up?
March 7th, 2010 at 5:17 pm
I have real worries about Carlton’s future at the moment. Sorry Damo
March 7th, 2010 at 5:18 pm
160- yeah i made it up
when he first came to the blue bryce had really fluffy duckie hair.
March 7th, 2010 at 5:20 pm
someone said I looked like a duck before
March 7th, 2010 at 5:22 pm
163- hahahah nawwwwwwwww!! ur so cute steve! serioulsy so cute!
March 7th, 2010 at 5:23 pm
so are you Danni.
Bell’s gonna miss 8 weeks, the extent of Jurrah’s injury is still not certain
March 7th, 2010 at 5:23 pm

March 7th, 2010 at 5:24 pm
165- lmaoo steve can u please explain how im cute? please !!

I cant think of a good explanation, but you just are
March 7th, 2010 at 5:26 pm
168- lmaoo hahahah come on steve!! pleaseeeeeeeeeeee!!
March 7th, 2010 at 5:27 pm
Well judging from the reports i have I think the extent of Bell’s injury was worse, I thin k he ruptured his ACL so Jurrah should be back within the first 4-6 weeks of the season.
March 7th, 2010 at 5:28 pm
That little bow-tie you wore to the Family Day was cute lol.
March 7th, 2010 at 5:29 pm
171- nawwwwwwwwwww DAMO!!
thanks!
March 7th, 2010 at 5:29 pm
Danni, are you doubting me because you don’t think you’re cute?
March 7th, 2010 at 5:30 pm
do ya think Jack thought it was cute?
OMG IF HE DID!!
March 7th, 2010 at 5:31 pm
173- I dunno…
March 7th, 2010 at 5:32 pm
I’m not sure, maybe.
Judging by the photo Dayne Beams was just content on signing the jumper.
March 7th, 2010 at 5:32 pm
175- Well, I think you’re cute because your small, energetic and friendly, and you also look cute
March 7th, 2010 at 5:33 pm
176- lmaoo im telling u he was like a rockstar..he didnt really say anything!
whereas JACK…oh god…
March 7th, 2010 at 5:33 pm
177- nawwwwwwww lmaooo thanks steve
March 7th, 2010 at 5:34 pm

March 7th, 2010 at 5:37 pm
i know this will sound very awkward to u guys but seriously all the photos i have of Jack, just wnna rip his shirt off!
mannn hes hot!!
March 7th, 2010 at 5:37 pm
Just looking at the waether radar and I think we are going to recieve the storms that Josh and Jeff endured.
March 7th, 2010 at 5:39 pm
183- well atleast im not driving
March 7th, 2010 at 5:42 pm
yeah its grtting pretty dark outside.
All the Collingwood players in your photos look pretty friendly to you and the other fans Danni
March 7th, 2010 at 5:44 pm
185- yeah they are..lmao i still laugh at the photo with rusling cos i dont think he thought i was gonna talk to him. Hes signing anf all of the sudden im like “Sean, hou are going?” lol he kinda looked shocked lmaoo
March 7th, 2010 at 5:50 pm
you guys..havent heard from josh or jeff in a while…im getting worried..
March 7th, 2010 at 5:51 pm
nice, Danni.
Yeah, that might be caught in the flood, hopefully for them the waters moving south and they’ll be in Melbourne in no time
March 7th, 2010 at 5:53 pm
Did you guys get any other damage from the hailstorm?
I know Steve had a broken window and I don’t think there was any damage to your cars Danni?
March 7th, 2010 at 5:55 pm
I think we were lucky to have just one broken window judging by how big some of those hail stones were. I went to church today, the local church had several windows badly broken
March 7th, 2010 at 5:56 pm
Yeah I thnik the worst for Josh and Jeff’s area is over, I wouldn’t be suprised if they had any damage.
March 7th, 2010 at 5:57 pm
189- nope no damage
hmm i hope they are okay
andrewswallow twitter- Next door neighbour forgot to take his clothes off the line yesterday…big mistake
March 7th, 2010 at 5:57 pm
have their been any reported deaths/injuries from the hail?
March 7th, 2010 at 5:59 pm
There have been a coupkle of serious head injuries but no deaths have been reported. I feel sorry for those who are on holiday this weekend some will be traumatised when they see their houses.
March 7th, 2010 at 5:59 pm
192- hahahaha.
I suppose you guys have leaves and branches on the roads and footpaths all around your streets?
March 7th, 2010 at 6:01 pm
195- i havent been outside
but when i was driving the other day, this car that overtook me had all these leaves all over its back window..it was really funny
March 7th, 2010 at 6:03 pm
were the streets of Coburg flooded when you were driving?
March 7th, 2010 at 6:04 pm
197- lol yeah there was heaps of water, i was basically surfing really.
i was like i hope one is walking cos i made massive waves!
March 7th, 2010 at 6:07 pm
hahaha.
Damo, are you going to Carlton V Adelaide next week?
March 7th, 2010 at 6:10 pm
Well it’s going to hard because I have school and it’s in that 4:00 timeslot so probably not. I’m busy Saturday as well so I might miss some of the NAB Cup Final.
I was just watching the news and suburbs like Ferntree Gully,Boronia and Lysterfield had the worst of the storm, their rooves collapsed and this was only 5-10km away.
March 7th, 2010 at 6:13 pm
Why is that area always the worst affected with everything? Its always in the outer eastern suburbs
March 7th, 2010 at 6:14 pm
Yeah because we are in the epicentre of the rain belt.
How long do you think Simon Taylor and Brad Sewell will be on the sidelines for?
March 7th, 2010 at 6:15 pm
Hopefully i can go to Casey fields on Saturday for Melbourne V West Coast
March 7th, 2010 at 6:16 pm
203- mitch brown!!!!!
March 7th, 2010 at 6:16 pm
Taylor could miss four months with broken fibula, Sewell will definitely miss the start of the season with a broken collarbone
March 7th, 2010 at 6:18 pm
….the storms here!!!
March 7th, 2010 at 6:19 pm
yes, Mitch Brown Danni.
Whats happening Danni? Hail? Thunder? Rain?
March 7th, 2010 at 6:19 pm
Is there any hail or just heavy rain?
March 7th, 2010 at 6:20 pm
thunder, strong wind, and its starting to rain.
Steve, wave at Mitch for me!
March 7th, 2010 at 6:37 pm
its just started to rain here.
Ok, Danni, lol
March 7th, 2010 at 6:41 pm
210- your not gonna wave are u?
March 7th, 2010 at 6:43 pm
I dunno, I might if I remember, I dont even know if im going yet
March 7th, 2010 at 6:43 pm
oh, okay lol
status- wearing collingwood jumper
March 7th, 2010 at 6:44 pm
What is with these storms? LOL. Tourists coming to Melbourne this weekend won’t believe we’re into our 14th year of drought ;-p
March 7th, 2010 at 6:46 pm
hey Susie, yeah i know what u mean but us MAY babies prefer this weather, personally i cnt stand the heat and would love to live in rainy England
March 7th, 2010 at 6:48 pm
There’s nothing I love more than a good thunderstorm, Danni – it’s par and par with a good footy match. I’m just concerned my roof is gonna cave – the entire face of my house has been turned into a water feature, and the place ain’t young. It’s about 30 years old… LOL
March 7th, 2010 at 6:54 pm
216- see you problem lol
i miss a cold night at the G…..
March 7th, 2010 at 6:56 pm
only 30 years? My house is about 60 or 70 years old, at least.
217- So do I danni, So do I.
March 7th, 2010 at 6:59 pm
after serious consideration i have decided the my future fiance MUST propose to me at the footy MCG only, must be a night game..i like Friday night…CAN U HEAR ME JACK?
lol
March 7th, 2010 at 7:01 pm
Power is FINALLY back on, been off for about two hours. We had bucketloads of rain, heaps of hail (i took some pics, i’ll send them soon) and our oldest tree was blown out of the ground. A few other trees fell over too, we got a broken window behind our bar in the loungeroom, and unfortunetly a couple of dead kittens. I know Danni and Susie may not want to read that. Oh and as Mum and I were looking out the front door at all the hail, we saw a possum come out of the garage roof and climb across the wires connecting the house to the garage and it kept falling and crawling back up and falling again, the poor thing was white with all the hail and rain. Luckily it made it, and we found a wounded magpie in the backyard so we brang it inside. It will not shut up and its so annoying, so i’ve named it Danni.
March 7th, 2010 at 7:04 pm
220- OMGGG REALLY??? IM SO EXCITED!!
March 7th, 2010 at 7:04 pm
Wait…rewind..dead kittys?????????
omg….. noooooooo
March 7th, 2010 at 7:05 pm
221: Wha?
222: Ah well, they were only a couple of weeks old so i wasn’t that attached to them.
March 7th, 2010 at 7:07 pm
221=- was about the magpie
March 7th, 2010 at 7:08 pm
guys check ur emails
March 7th, 2010 at 7:08 pm
I dunno why you get excited about that lol. But i was able to save about 7 kittens, i bought them all in, wrapped them in a towel and was putting them in front of the heater when the power went out. I’ve been walking around the house doing nothing for the past two hours.
March 7th, 2010 at 7:10 pm
226- hello theres a magpie named after me! thats so cool!!!
March 7th, 2010 at 7:11 pm
220: No!!! Poor kittens
That’s really, really sad 
But hilarious about Danni the annoying magpie
March 7th, 2010 at 7:12 pm
Im sorry the kittens died, and it could also be a bad omen for Geelong.
I wouldve named a wounded magpie Sean Rusling
March 7th, 2010 at 7:12 pm
228- im so excited! lol
is it a baby Magpie? can someone explain to me why baby magpies are bigger thna adult ones?
March 7th, 2010 at 7:13 pm
230- are they?
March 7th, 2010 at 7:13 pm
226: Naw, Josh. You’re so good with the ickle creatures…
March 7th, 2010 at 7:13 pm
229- SEANNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!!!
OMGG hes so adorable!!! i seriously have a little cry everytime i find out he gets injured…. 
March 7th, 2010 at 7:14 pm
231- yeap my cousinds found a wounded baby magpie and took it in, i wnet ot visit them and saw it. cutest thing ever, called it Buckley! lol
they really are but i dnt know why
March 7th, 2010 at 7:16 pm
Well, they cant be bigger than adult ones when they are concieved
March 7th, 2010 at 7:17 pm
235- yeah i dunno but one things for sure, they are soo cuteeeeee
March 7th, 2010 at 7:17 pm
234: This magpie was small but not big, but the mother magpie that attacks me in the morning on my way to school is about the size of a Hawk.
March 7th, 2010 at 7:17 pm
It appears that your right Danni, the young ones in the photo do look bigger:

March 7th, 2010 at 7:19 pm
238- yeap i wouldnt believe it if i hadnt seen the one my cousin found.
it was hilarious, we were all sitting in the garage, pretty much ahving a party and the baby magpie is siting there in small blankets watching us!
March 7th, 2010 at 7:25 pm
saw the pictures Danni, I dont think you look that much younger, but its hard to judge since ive only seen you once in the flesh
March 7th, 2010 at 7:25 pm
Check your emails
March 7th, 2010 at 7:26 pm
240- lol its prob cos i have lots of makeup on, i was going to a party.
241- yes sir
March 7th, 2010 at 7:27 pm
lol i have a picture of me as a one yr old! i was that old when i went to my first footy match. wanna see?
March 7th, 2010 at 7:28 pm
Sure
March 7th, 2010 at 7:30 pm
I swear Danni you live in the fanciest house i’ve ever seen.
Pretty impressive Josh, we kept some hail stones in our freezer, a couple bigger than the ones that your holding.
There’s a lot of lightning around now
March 7th, 2010 at 7:31 pm
geee Josh! thats bad as….
bloody hell look at the ice!
March 7th, 2010 at 7:32 pm
245- lol, mum loves glittery stuff.

March 7th, 2010 at 7:32 pm
what an adorable baby!
March 7th, 2010 at 7:33 pm
248- lmaooo yeah i know huh? i was cute as.
March 7th, 2010 at 7:34 pm
Steve imagine that baby at the footy! lmaoo dont knwo what dad was thinking
March 7th, 2010 at 7:34 pm
That would’ve been before Nathan Buckley played his first game for Collingwood
March 7th, 2010 at 7:35 pm
251- geeeeee lmao i feel so old now!! hahhaha if only i hadnt lost my cute baby nose! lol
March 7th, 2010 at 7:37 pm
I didn’t go too my first footy match until I was almost 5 years old.
It’s starting to pour, I was going to use BT’s line but Josh seems accustomed to that lol.
Bad luck with the kittens, yeah I thinhk the hail in our area was a little larger.
March 7th, 2010 at 7:38 pm
1993- a good year for Carlton, until Grand Final day of course!
March 7th, 2010 at 7:39 pm
yeah it is starting to pour.
I don’t think you’ve changed all that much Danni
March 7th, 2010 at 7:39 pm
My first match was between North Melbourne and Brisbane Bears i’m pretty sure..
Susie, i’ll be putting the pics is sent to the guys on FB so have a look if you want.
March 7th, 2010 at 7:42 pm
was that the 1996 prelim final Josh?
March 7th, 2010 at 7:44 pm
255- so ur saying that i havnt changed from the time i was ONE to 17???
lmaoo i think i look completly diff, i used to be blonder, app mum said u couldnt see my eyelashes…
March 7th, 2010 at 7:46 pm
Mine wasn’t until R14 1999, it was an awesome day even though my memories are fading and I can’t recall it well.
That would have been a good game Josh, too bad you weren’t at the MCG seven days later.
March 7th, 2010 at 7:46 pm
256: I’ll check them out
March 7th, 2010 at 7:50 pm
OMGGGG LOOK IT GOR WORSE
Is Etihad Stadium the best venue to watch AFL footy?
Yes 52.52% (250 votes)
No 47.48% (226 votes)
Total votes: 476
March 7th, 2010 at 7:50 pm
YOU ARE KIDDING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THE BLOODY HERALD SUN STOP RIGGING THE F*CKING VOTES, THE MCG IS WAY BETTER FOR CRYING OUT LOUD!
March 7th, 2010 at 7:52 pm
Nope, i just went on to see if my beloved Ralphy has anything new up and that when i saw it…..
March 7th, 2010 at 7:53 pm
Just asked my Dad, don’t you love it when he goes off into a big talk about footy from the 90’s?
My first game was in fact against Fitzroy in 1996, so i was half right with the Brisbane Bears lol. And i also saw North v West Coast at Princes Park in the 90’s once, but my first real match i went to where i could walk and talk was against Essendon in 2000 where Carey and Lloyd had a shootout.
March 7th, 2010 at 7:55 pm
Judging by your knowledge from that area, you need some big talks lol just kidding
March 7th, 2010 at 7:55 pm
i could talk and almost walk at one, i seriously a smart baby. and i called my parents by their names instead of mummy or daddy lmaoo
March 7th, 2010 at 7:56 pm
North-Fitzroy 1996- that was probably a Friday Night match.
Remember this is only based on a survey, everyone that is sane enough knows that the MCG provides a greater spectacle when viewing the footy.
Steve here is a link to the last few miutes of the match last week, and of course Ryan murhy’s winning goal: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nZo8_PGUszU
March 7th, 2010 at 7:56 pm
Im not sure when I started talking or walking, probably not for a while lol
March 7th, 2010 at 7:57 pm
266: You rude child! Haha, Atticus! lol
March 7th, 2010 at 7:57 pm
Thanks Damo, I wonder if we were shown on screen at any stage during the game?
March 7th, 2010 at 7:58 pm
My parents claim I was a smart baby, they said I could name every car manafacturing company by the age of 3 and a half, probably where my passion for cars stems from.
March 7th, 2010 at 8:00 pm
*Ryan Murphy
March 7th, 2010 at 8:01 pm
Just curious, Steve and Damo (and possibly Susie) have you guys seen every team play live? The teams i’ve never seen are Brisbane Lions, Collingwood, St Kilda and Sydney, although i haven’t seen West Coast and Essendon in this era.
March 7th, 2010 at 8:01 pm
I could sing every club’s theme song, recall heaps of players names, and even recall scores of games when I was 3 or 4. And I also knew what 15.15 and 27.13 and 25.18 were and stuff like that. So yeah, just goes to show that I’ve only really had one passion for my whole life, although I did like trucks when I was around that age as well
March 7th, 2010 at 8:01 pm
269- LMAOO “ATTICUS!! ATTICUS!!”
271- i used to yell out “DADDY BEER!” everytime we passed a pub that had a beer ad outfront. lmaoo
March 7th, 2010 at 8:02 pm
273- OF COURSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
March 7th, 2010 at 8:02 pm
275- hahaha thats so funny
March 7th, 2010 at 8:03 pm
271- naww baby muzza
omg hav u guys ever watched Superwog on utube…its scarily accurate, lebo muzza style.
March 7th, 2010 at 8:03 pm
271: That’s impressive. Like, scarily impressive.
Apparently I had a really good memory as a kid. Mum would read me a novel, get three quarters of the way through, and for whatever reason we’d stop. Eight months later we’d pick it up, and I’d tell her which part we were up to, right down to who had said what on the last page we’d read. I often wonder what happened to this wonderful memory of mine.
I also had a big vocabulary, apparently. And didn’t shut up.
And I didn’t suffer fools. If adults were idiots, I apparently told them right to their faces. Rather awkward for my mum and siblings, LOL.
March 7th, 2010 at 8:03 pm
277- lol i know, its dads fault! he used to sit me infront of the telly as a baby to watch the footy with him and hed drink a beer and ofcorse all those beer ads!! lmaoo
March 7th, 2010 at 8:04 pm
273: Yes. Several times over, LOL. Even been to Sydney a couple of times to see the game.
March 7th, 2010 at 8:04 pm
279- lmaoooo! hahahahaha
March 7th, 2010 at 8:06 pm
279- hahaha I was the same, the truth comes out a little easily at that age.
I’ve seen every team play live aside from Fitzroy, Brisbane Bears and of course University lol.
March 7th, 2010 at 8:08 pm
There is one thing left to do before I die: Travel to all of the 12 original VFL grounds, like Billy Miller, I’ve probably only been to Carlton and Richmond’s original home ground.
March 7th, 2010 at 8:08 pm
Damo, how was your footy knowledge at 3 years old?
March 7th, 2010 at 8:09 pm
What was i good at when i was young? Hmmm…i was an expert screamer. Still am in fact. Apparantly i was the worst kid to take to the footy, a movie etc. because i would distrupt things. And of course my footy knowledge didn’t kick in until i was 8.
March 7th, 2010 at 8:10 pm
283: LOL, too true. I’m a little ashamed of the kind of stuff I’d say at that age, I could be really mean. Mum said I actually told her once:
“I can get away with saying anything, because grown-ups think I have no idea what I’m saying.” :-S
March 7th, 2010 at 8:10 pm
285- Very poor to say the least, I probably only knew the names of a few teams, of course I didn’t have a strong football upbringing. Channel 7 raised me in that department.
March 7th, 2010 at 8:11 pm
284: I’ve already planned to go around Australia and watch a game of AFL from each ground.
March 7th, 2010 at 8:12 pm
Really? you didn’t scream too often at the footy lol.
283- Exactly!
March 7th, 2010 at 8:12 pm
I was born a footy lover, simply put. I used to play pretend games with blocks on the loungeroom floor when I was 3, id make the red ones melbourne and the blue ones carlton and id make goal posts with the bigger blocks at both ends, there’d be 18 players on the field for each team, 4 on the bench, and I’d commentate and keep score in my head.

I’ve always wanted to go to Adelaide or Perth or somewhere for a few weeks and see how they follow footy there, but I dont really ever wanna live outside Australia.
Josh, sounds like you were one of those annoying kids who ruin the footy for everyone who’s sitting around them
March 7th, 2010 at 8:15 pm
The only footy artefact I grew up with as a toddler was a 1996 Adelaide Crows car that was given to me by my uncle. Thank goodness I didn’t make the transition to become an Adelaide supporter.
March 7th, 2010 at 8:16 pm
291- lmaoooo ROFL hahahahhah steve, sooo cute!!!
March 7th, 2010 at 8:17 pm
293: Dad got me a ladder magnet thing with the 2002 AFL Fixture on it, and i used to copy the ladder every Monday morning from the back of the HS onto the magnet. I’ve stopped doing it unfortunetly as i lost some of the team magnets.
March 7th, 2010 at 8:17 pm
292: Is that a nice way of telling me not to go to the footy with you guys anymore?
March 7th, 2010 at 8:18 pm
295- Yeah I recieved the exact same ladder as part of the Auskick pack in 2002.
March 7th, 2010 at 8:18 pm
The funny thing is I cant even remember doing a lot of this, but I have glimpses of memories and my parents always tell me
March 7th, 2010 at 8:18 pm
292- nahh that me actually!
lol my cousins move seats AWAY from me cos im embarassing
March 7th, 2010 at 8:19 pm
Oh! I remember that ladder!
well, you can still come if you’ve controlled this screaming habit of yours lol
March 7th, 2010 at 8:20 pm
300: OOKAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!
March 7th, 2010 at 8:20 pm
295: I used to do that pre-magnet days, when it was cardboard cutouts. I’d usually crack the sads about the midway-point of the season (this was back when Geelong sucked royally) and just make up my own fantasy ladder. Geelong was always on top, Collingwood, Hawthorn and St Kilda always shared the bottom three. And yes, team names would always go missing, rather like the teams themselves ;-p
March 7th, 2010 at 8:20 pm
I started collecting footy stickers when I was 3 or 4 as well, I used to love the stickers, footy stickers were way better than cards at their prime
March 7th, 2010 at 8:21 pm
302- Where were the Dees, Susie? lol
March 7th, 2010 at 8:22 pm
302: Ahh same, i’ve got millions of notepads floating around with fake ladders and the scores of the finals matches, but funnily i’ve never made North Melbourne win a flag, probably to make things all that more realistic.
March 7th, 2010 at 8:22 pm
I just realised that I should consider if any damage was done to the school due to the hailstorm.
It’s weird how that never crossed my mind.
Has anyone sworn at the footy in anger of the play only to find that there are people staring blankly at you? lol
March 7th, 2010 at 8:23 pm
I think they were second or third, mainly because I didn’t see them as a threat ;-p
March 7th, 2010 at 8:24 pm
306- no people only stare at me when i yell things like
“woooo go sexy thing!!”
or
“HAVE A SHOT!! LETS GO HOTSTUFF!!”
March 7th, 2010 at 8:24 pm
306: I think they are starting at you blankly coz your wearing a Carlton guernsey lol.
I was thinking before about the school, but apparantly Numurkah wasn’t hit with the hail stones. But there is no school tomorrow anyway.
March 7th, 2010 at 8:24 pm
305- Yeah I was the same Josh, I still do all these fake scores, usually on loose bits of paper so it gets my room messed up. Like on my desk i’ve got a Geelong V essendon game (meant to be the one in Round 1 this year), THe Cats won 26.8 164 to 12.19 91, I also did all the stats for all the Geelong players
March 7th, 2010 at 8:25 pm
306 – Nah, but I used to get odd looks for screaming myself hoarse whenever Stokes or Byrnes got near the ball, back before they were “popular”. Pfft, some people are such bandwagoners ;-p
March 7th, 2010 at 8:26 pm
307- They were a threat in 1998, the year of the great qualifying final, Damo do you remember Melbourne V Adelaide in 1998?
March 7th, 2010 at 8:26 pm
311- LMAOO i dont think i could help myself if i were to go to a Collingwood Geelong game, theres no way ill be silent if Mackie or Mooney are near! lmaoo so hot!
March 7th, 2010 at 8:27 pm
309: Staring*
Yeah i started doing fake match reports like the ones we write on this website, and i included the teams as a new addition to my fake games but like i told you on FB i didn’t save it.
March 7th, 2010 at 8:27 pm
310: You are legendary
March 7th, 2010 at 8:27 pm
Yeah Damo a lot of the time I get carried away at the footy, a lot of the time without even realising it
March 7th, 2010 at 8:28 pm
My friend is a Geelong supporter and him and his Dad absolutely hate Shannon Byrnes. Why? He’s a good player, sure he might be a bit clumsy but he sure does have skill.
March 7th, 2010 at 8:28 pm
Gee my memory’s fuzzy Steve, what was the score and who were the most effective players?
March 7th, 2010 at 8:31 pm
By the way I was referring to comment 312.
I remember collecting those footy stickers, great fun back in the old days lol.
March 7th, 2010 at 8:32 pm
Well thank god for that our power came back on an hour ago after almost 3 hours without it and within the first 10 mins my laptop died :/ then my ipod died :/ very boring.
March 7th, 2010 at 8:32 pm
313: LOL. You should’ve seen the looks I was getting at the Collingwood/North Melbourne game last year.
My friend was Collingwood, so I went with her and her mates. Only one guy was North, the rest were all Collingwood. I started cheering for North because I felt sorry for him. But I had to cheer for the Pies or my friend was going to kill me – she’s vicious.
So I was getting all these funny looks from Collingwood and North Supporters around me, who couldn’t figure out who I was going for (I was a girl, I knew most of the players for both teams, and I was quite loud). I just grinned at them and flashed them my Geelong guernsey under my coat. They glared and turned around to watch the game again.
March 7th, 2010 at 8:32 pm
Footy stickers were better than cards, but the cards are still alright. By the way they should be starting up again fairly soon.
March 7th, 2010 at 8:33 pm
It’s that One Day in April!
Footy fans be grateful!
I forgot the rest of the song.
March 7th, 2010 at 8:33 pm
317: Until 2009, he was officially the most inaccurate kick in the AFL. They had an article on it and everything.
But he is fast, a ferocious tackler, and he gets higher than the rucks when he jumps.
March 7th, 2010 at 8:34 pm
323: Don’t get Jeff started..
While the power was out today i started to re-read The Footy Almanac 2007
March 7th, 2010 at 8:34 pm
Sorry guys, my sister and parents were in an argument I always have to intervene when that happens.
BRING BACK FOOTY STICKERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
318- hahahahaha
March 7th, 2010 at 8:35 pm
323- That one day in April that every footy player dreams of, the day you find out your on a footy card !
March 7th, 2010 at 8:35 pm
321- hahahhaah thats gold! lmaooo
you know you make freinds with the randoms around u? well me and this fellow collingwood fan started talking and eventually cheering together, my cousin rocks up as at half-tim thinkin ive known the girl all my life lmaoo
anyway she love dale and hes hanging around where we are sitting up near the front so she sreams “DALLLEEEEEE YOUR SEXYY!!” AND he looks up at ME!! he thought it was me and i was like..omg lmaoo i just shock my head and pointed at the girl next to me lmaoo
March 7th, 2010 at 8:38 pm
Brynes had a ripper of a 2009.
Between rounds 9-13, he averaged 24 possessions and kicked 17 goals
March 7th, 2010 at 8:39 pm
325- to late lol
March 7th, 2010 at 8:39 pm
328: Hahahaha, but admit it: Dale Thomas just KNEW that’s what you were usually like. I bet he’d be so disappointed to learn you preferred Jack Anthony, LOL.
March 7th, 2010 at 8:39 pm
Are you still friends with this girl Danni?
I’ve never been to a Collingwood V Geelong game or a Collingwood V North Melbourne one
March 7th, 2010 at 8:41 pm
329: You don’t need to tell me that, Steve
He’s my equal favourite. Along with Harry Taylor (and Stokesy, prior to the current dilemma)
March 7th, 2010 at 8:42 pm
331- lmao he was such a DIVA at the family day!!!!! and those sunnies he was wearing, not for him!! lmaoo
JACK was just stunning and a flirt! damn him!
332- nah havent seen her since lol
i have been to a Collingwood v Geelong game and a few Collingwood v North games
i have never been to a collingwood V melb game
March 7th, 2010 at 8:42 pm
The weirdest game i’ve been too has been Hawthorn v Adelaide and Carlton v Fremantle. Weird as in they weren’t crowd-pulling games and didn’t involve North Melbourne, but i went to Richmond v Hawthorn which attracted a decent crowd so you can’t call that weird.
March 7th, 2010 at 8:43 pm
333: Ablett isn’t your favourite? Don’t blame you, he’s a poofter. Oh by the way were you at the game between Cats and North a couple of weeks ago?
March 7th, 2010 at 8:44 pm
infact steve, i have never been to a Melbourne game.
ive been to Carlton, Essendon and even North games without collingwood playing.
March 7th, 2010 at 8:46 pm
Most volatile game I’ve ever been to, in terms of the crowd: Carlton vs. Collingwood. Last year. I didn’t wear my Geelong jumper to that. I valued my life.
Though the Round 17 Geelong vs Hawthorn game was pretty nasty, too. In fact, very nasty. Geelong and Hawthorn people hate each other quite as much as Pies and Blues fans hate each other.
And Danni, I know what you mean – he was 20 feet in the shade, wearing sunnies. What the heck? My Collingwood friend asked him what was up with the sunnies. He said it was bright out. Pfft. LOL.
March 7th, 2010 at 8:46 pm
The Hawthorn-Carlton match last year was weird to say the least, I just walked out of the MCG not quite believing what happened.
March 7th, 2010 at 8:47 pm
Harry Taylor is an admirable player.
I’ve been to heaps of games not involving Melbourne.
Danni, how can you not have gone to a Collingwood V Melbourne game? You’ve never been to a Queens birthday match!
March 7th, 2010 at 8:47 pm
338 OMG SUSIE!! did u read my report on that day? i asked him the same thing and he said the same thing!! YET he still didnt take them off!! DIVA!!!! DIVA-DAISY!
March 7th, 2010 at 8:48 pm
Hawks V Tiges in 08 was a weird game. . We won for a change. Something that wasn’t weird about that game was that the big fella Richo dominated.
March 7th, 2010 at 8:48 pm
The Carlton-Bulldogs match that I ventured along to as a 6 year old in Round 19 2000 had a tense atmosphere at the end of the match I remember the Carlton supporters were fuming at the umpires as they went down the race.
March 7th, 2010 at 8:49 pm
340- NOPE…
Oh and Susie, i thought if anyone, Jack would be wearing Sunnies, cos hes that type you know, likes attention but when he was i understood he has a “im too sexy for my sunnies’ concept about his life
lmaoo
March 7th, 2010 at 8:50 pm
I remember that game, Richmond won 16.9 105 to 10.16 76.
I haven’t seen Port Adelaide play since 2007, actually.
March 7th, 2010 at 8:50 pm
Wasn’t that the defining match where Richo played on the wing?
March 7th, 2010 at 8:50 pm
- LMAOO HERES THE PROOF
Meanwhile I get Dale who looks like a Rock star in his black sunnies to which I say to him
“Eyy Dale, what’s with the sunnies mate? You look like a celebrity!”
Lol he laughs and his only excuse is “Yeah, it’s too bright out today!”
March 7th, 2010 at 8:51 pm
336: He WAS my favourite, ages 11 – 13, when he was young and blonde and gorgeous and an Ablett.
Then I turned 14 and gained perspective. As a player, I LOVE him. He’s the best in the land (obviously). But in truth, as a person, I’ve never really cared for him. He’s a bit of a loser, LOL.
And yes -_- I was at that game. It was the first time in a LONG time that I’ve actually felt confident we have a key forward. Tommy Hawkins is gonna have a big year. If Ablett stops kicking the ball over his head. And if he plays more than 20mins game time.
March 7th, 2010 at 8:51 pm
346- No Damo that was the Hawthorn V Richmond in Round 6 that year
March 7th, 2010 at 8:52 pm
Oh my apologies, I got them mixed up.
March 7th, 2010 at 8:53 pm
346- What Steve said lol, He took a shit load of marks that day if i remember correctly alot were uncontested in the back line though.
March 7th, 2010 at 8:54 pm
Danni, that’s hilarious. You should write a parody to that song … you know, “I’m too sexy for my shirt” … for Jack: “I’m too sexy for my sunnies” ;-p
Daisy must have been copping it a lot that day, LOL
March 7th, 2010 at 8:54 pm
Yeah, I remember, the last time I saw Port play was 2007, and it was against the Dogs at the then Telsra dome. That was a brilliant game, the roof was closed, it was absolutely bucketing down in Melbourne that day, and at the same time the Pies were playing St.Kilda, the game where they won by 9 and Thomas kicked that famous non-goal
March 7th, 2010 at 8:55 pm
Damo, do you know who the commentator is who calls Murphy kicking the final goal in the North v Fremantle game? One of the best i’ve heard.
March 7th, 2010 at 8:55 pm
Matt Campbell former Bears player.
March 7th, 2010 at 8:56 pm
351- Yeah, I think Bowden and Richo had 21 marks each, Bowden had 38 possessions too
March 7th, 2010 at 8:57 pm
353: Heritage Round
March 7th, 2010 at 8:57 pm
457- Yep, Port wore the Magpies jumper and the Dogs wore the old style footscray one
March 7th, 2010 at 8:57 pm
9.30 thursday, my life will be coplete again.
March 7th, 2010 at 8:58 pm
Susie- heres some of my work
Evacuate the dancefloor:
Turn up the music
Let’s get out on the turf
I like to move it
Come and give me some more
Micks yelling getting crazy now,
Out of control
We love Jack Anthony
He never misses it.
Steal the ball
Kill the umps
Feel it, were gonna win
Time is right
Keep it tight
Cause it’s pulling you in
Wrap it up
Can’t stop cause it feels like a Premiership!
Premiership…..
Oh, oh, evacuate the goal square
Oh, oh, kick it to the goals
Oh, oh, stop Toovey is killing me
March 7th, 2010 at 8:58 pm
Steve do you remember the match between Melbourne and Richmond in 2006, I think Bowden recieved 40+ possesions but came under a lot of criticsm for not using them effectively.
March 7th, 2010 at 8:59 pm
Tik tock version-
wake up in the morning feelin like
P.Medhurst
Grab my footy im out the door im gonna hit the ‘G’
Before i leave give a kiss to my number 9 Jack
cos if he dont kick a goal i wont let him back….
March 7th, 2010 at 8:59 pm
354- Matt Campbell was the caller
March 7th, 2010 at 9:00 pm
Yeah, that was a friday night game and the Dees won 52-70, and Robbo took an absolute screamer
March 7th, 2010 at 9:00 pm
360: I’d buy that single! That’s very well done, LOL
March 7th, 2010 at 9:01 pm
Danni have you ever thought about a career in the footy songwriting business? lol
March 7th, 2010 at 9:02 pm
362: I think you’ve found your calling, Danni. Writing footy parodies to hit songs.
The Coodabeen Champions would be proud
March 7th, 2010 at 9:02 pm
lol thanks guys
hahah damo my english teacher says i have future in advertising. lmaoo
March 7th, 2010 at 9:03 pm
heres the big number
Hey Pretty Baby With The number nine on
You Give Me Fever
Like I’ve Never, Ever known
your aura shines with your strong hotness
I like the look of your
Hair, your smile, your chest
I feel your hotness from miles around
Keep kicking goals so we can hit the town
Just smirk my way
and ask me this
“helloooo who’s number nine?”
The Way You Make Me feel
you got your flirting On
You Knock Me Off Of My Feet
Our losing days are gone.
March 7th, 2010 at 9:04 pm
how funny was that triple M footy song from last year? hahaha that was so hillarious
March 7th, 2010 at 9:07 pm
I made a Richo song last year but it’s got nothing on Dannis work lol.
March 7th, 2010 at 9:08 pm
Footy! It’s what it’s all about, it’s what we live for, come on shout it out!
Is that the song you were referring to Steve?
I’m a big fan of the Coodabeens! what is your favourite song from Greg Champion Susie?
I like ‘The Thing about Football’, from memory it was a big hit in the 1990’s.
March 7th, 2010 at 9:08 pm
I remember the Tigers grog squad sang:
Richo Richo man, I wanna be a Richo man
March 7th, 2010 at 9:09 pm
thats it Damo, the verses are really funny.
March 7th, 2010 at 9:09 pm
371- lol ahh shuks!
i think josh metioned it.
March 7th, 2010 at 9:09 pm
Does anyone appreciate The Footy Show’s parody songs? Their words aren’t exactly hilarious but the clips are great.
March 7th, 2010 at 9:10 pm
373- lol we have one of those at Collingwood our is
TARKO-TARKO MANN!! I WANNA BE A TARKO MAN!!
lol gotta love Tarks!
March 7th, 2010 at 9:12 pm
376- *lyrics
March 7th, 2010 at 9:14 pm
yeah there pretty funny Damo
March 7th, 2010 at 9:15 pm
376-I think there great.
May aswell say my Richo song.
Its to the tune of The Frays – You found me.
I saw Cho, standing next to Simon Prestigiacomo,
In the square giving someone a dirty stare,
Really peed off cause they just won’t kick the ball to him,
Then Wallace was like, Lets put him on the wing,
And ever since then his been better then Cameron Ling.
Thats all I remember of it lol.
March 7th, 2010 at 9:17 pm
380- lmaoooo thats so funny! hahhahah
March 7th, 2010 at 9:17 pm
I remember we made a waltzing matilda footy version in primary school, it went something like this:
Waltzing matilda boo st.Kilda up with the Dees and down with the Blues. And thats all I remember lol
March 7th, 2010 at 9:19 pm
Here’s a good footy song:
Hearts to hearts and hands to hands
Beneath the blue and white we stand
We shout god bless our native land
North Melbourne, North Melbourne!
Out we come, out we come, out we come to play
Just for recreations sake to pass the time away
Lots of fun, heaps of fun you’ll enjoy yourself today
North Melbourne boys are hard to beat when they come out to play
So join in the chorus, and sing it one and all
Join in the chorus, North Melbourne’s on the ball
Good old North Melbourne, they’re champions you’ll agree
North Melbourne will be premiers, just you wait and see!
March 7th, 2010 at 9:19 pm
381- Lol thanks Danni.
382- We did that too !
March 7th, 2010 at 9:19 pm
372: That’s my favourite too!!! I had it on high repeat last week, they just don’t make songs like that any more. And no song has ever better captured the spirit of the footy fan – it’s not a comedy, like his other works, it’s just nice.
I also like “I am the Footy Fan” – that’s just blooming hilarious
March 7th, 2010 at 9:20 pm
You remembered the “Just” this time!
March 7th, 2010 at 9:20 pm
383- must admit..the last part of the Roos song is damn catchy!
nothing beats
FREEEEEEEEEEEEO HEAVE HOOOOOOOEEEEEEE!!!!
March 7th, 2010 at 9:22 pm
I think the first part of the North song is the best when sung live, like on the video i have on my phone.
I listen to the Coodabeen’s on my way home from Saturday footy.
March 7th, 2010 at 9:22 pm
383- YELLOW AND BLACK is the best bit in any theme song.
March 7th, 2010 at 9:23 pm
382: We had that as well!
I think ours went something like:
Waltzing Matilda, Down with St Kilda! Up with the Cattas and down with Roos
I dunno, my memory is pretty foggy, but that rings a bell, LOL
March 7th, 2010 at 9:23 pm
385- It is one of those songs that I could replay continuosly, I’d even rank it higher than ‘Up There Cazaly and that’s a big call.
Yeah I love listening to “I’m a Footy fan”.
Years ago the Coodabeens did an hilarious segment called ‘Talkback with Tony’ where they had diffrent footy fans with funny personalities.
March 7th, 2010 at 9:23 pm
It’s a grand old flag it’s a high flying flag its the emblem, for me and for you. It’s the emblem of the team we love the team of the red and the blue, every heart beats true for the red and the blue and we sing this song to you (WHATTA WE SING), should old aquantince be forgot keep your eye on the red and the blue!
March 7th, 2010 at 9:23 pm
390: WHAT!? Down with the Roos?? How dare you.
March 7th, 2010 at 9:24 pm
392- LOL i cnt picture u singing steve since u hardly speak aorund me in the first place!
March 7th, 2010 at 9:24 pm
390- hahaha yeah, St.Kilda is always gonna come first since it ryhmes with Matilda
March 7th, 2010 at 9:25 pm
388: Yeah, I was pretty impressed with it when they showed North singing it after a win a year or so ago …
389: Richmond have to best club song of all teams. Without a doubt. I love going to the Legends match: everyone boos all throughout the Collingwood song, but EVERYONE, and I mean EVERYONE joins in the Richmond song, especially the YELLOW AND BLACK! part.
March 7th, 2010 at 9:25 pm

388- Do you listen to the Curtain Raisers on the way to footy ? and then the Buy Swap and Sell thing ?
March 7th, 2010 at 9:26 pm
396- lmao well Susie i do the booty shake during the Freo song, and air guitar!!
March 7th, 2010 at 9:26 pm
Here is a link of Talkback if you want to listen: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BE3OsKCgJMI
March 7th, 2010 at 9:27 pm
397- EASILY THE BEST THEME SONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
March 7th, 2010 at 9:27 pm
397-…..OKAY!!! LOL
March 7th, 2010 at 9:27 pm
398: Yep, love buy, swap and sell.
Could have sworn some idiot just posted on the Almanac with some ridiculous song that passes to be the Melbourne Theme Song..
March 7th, 2010 at 9:27 pm
396-
sure is
March 7th, 2010 at 9:28 pm
WHAT WAS THAT BARNSTABLE? I CANT HEAR YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
March 7th, 2010 at 9:29 pm
405: I can’t hear you either, but i’m pretty sure you can SEE what i’m TYPING!
March 7th, 2010 at 9:29 pm
I love the newest headline on the AFL website, it sure has a ring to it:
Bell to miss eight, Jurrah must wait. Haha classic rhyming.
March 7th, 2010 at 9:29 pm
GO DEES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
March 7th, 2010 at 9:30 pm
403- Same ! It’s gun as everytime something awsum comes on im like to mum remember that number mum i want that lol.
March 7th, 2010 at 9:30 pm
395: That and the fact the nobody really likes them :p
391: I know what you mean. Until I heard it again a few months ago, I thought nothing could overtake ‘Up the Cazaly’ and ‘One Day in September’ in terms of footy songs. But then I heard that and it brought all sorts of memories rushing back. That song IS footy to me, LOL.
I love ‘Talkback with Tony’! Do you have the Coodabeens’ album? CD One is all their songs and parodies, CD 2 is highlights of ‘Talkback with Tony’.
393: Josh, back in my day, the Roos were successful. So, naturally, all the kids who supported the other teams hated them ;-p
March 7th, 2010 at 9:31 pm
FREOOOOOOOOOO HEAVE HOOOOOOOE
FREOOOOOOOOOO HEAVE HOOOOOOOE
GIVEEEE EM ALLLLL WE OWEEEEEEEEEE!!!!
FREOOOOOOOOOO HEAVE HOOOOOOOE
………………..
HIT EM REAL HARD SEND THEM DWN BELOW
FREOOOO GIVE EM THE OLD HEAVE HOEE
WE ARE THE FREEOOO DOCKERS!!!
March 7th, 2010 at 9:31 pm
Pfft, the Roos are still succesful Susie!
March 7th, 2010 at 9:32 pm
Gee, trying saying “still succesful Susie” out loud. It’s a tongue twister.
March 7th, 2010 at 9:32 pm
Jurrah sprints to find the ball,
the game is on for one and all.
The walpiri wizard, leaps across the grass, shouting:
“Greeny don’t bother, I don’t need to pass”
He runs to the 50 right against the line,
the Dees in front, Jurrah sublime
March 7th, 2010 at 9:32 pm
Nah I don’t have the album but they have plenty of links on Youtube in regards to those classic segments.
March 7th, 2010 at 9:33 pm
Steve, for what it’s worth, I love the Melbourne song. I hum it or sing it all the time, LOL. It’s very catchy.
March 7th, 2010 at 9:33 pm
411- Steve and I were singing that song at the end of the match last week.
March 7th, 2010 at 9:33 pm
414- NICE WORKKK!
ipod- freo theme song
March 7th, 2010 at 9:34 pm
417: You guys were singing it?? That’s it, you two are off my christmas card list.
March 7th, 2010 at 9:34 pm
417- Yes we were if I call correctly.
416- I know SUSIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks Danni, just made that up then lol
March 7th, 2010 at 9:35 pm
413: LoL, you invented the modern day “She sells sea shells by the sea shore”. Lispers the world over hate you now :p
411: Danni, it is an awesome song. I rock out to it too :p But as far as club songs goes, it’s rather pitiful. LOL
March 7th, 2010 at 9:36 pm
Status – Talkin to Greg, asking him how many lady friends his talking to. His answer SHUT UP lol.
March 7th, 2010 at 9:36 pm
421- lmaoo awww come on Susie! cnt u see Chris Tarrant doing the bootyshake to it in the rooms? lmaoo u know u can!
March 7th, 2010 at 9:37 pm
422- lmaoo thats means 893274938738949834 babes Jeff
March 7th, 2010 at 9:37 pm
Whatever happened to Fremantle’s bid to revamp the whole football club from a marketing point of view? They claimed they were going to alter the colours, song etc.
March 7th, 2010 at 9:38 pm
423: Indeed I can :p But does the bootyshake belong in footy? Really? LOL
March 7th, 2010 at 9:39 pm
426- it does when tazz does it!
March 7th, 2010 at 9:40 pm
Jurrah looks forward, waltzes up to the pack,
placing his knee, on Armfield’s back.
He soars the air, grabbing the sherrin in both hands.
the ball sticks like glue, he gracefully lands.
He looks at the sticks, 60 metres away,
Lines up and BANG! What more can you say?
March 7th, 2010 at 9:40 pm
428- steve u clever muffin you!
March 7th, 2010 at 9:40 pm
425: That idea was as empty as their trophy cabinet.
Seriously. They have an empty trophy cabinet – it actually exists. They got ‘tool of the week’ for it, because there they were, giving a press conference in this room. There was a wall-to-wall trophy cabinet, long, heaps of shelves … with nothing in it. Absolutely nothing.
They’ve built this huge cabinet before they’ve won a single trophy. *sigh*
March 7th, 2010 at 9:41 pm
Its funny how I chose Dennis Armfield as the player, it just has that ring to it lol
March 7th, 2010 at 9:41 pm
430- lmaoo i think they should chnage the name to Toovs of the week! lmao
March 7th, 2010 at 9:42 pm
428- Through* the air
March 7th, 2010 at 9:43 pm
432: But what does that say about Toovey! :-0
March 7th, 2010 at 9:44 pm
Susie_ do u like Twilight?
March 7th, 2010 at 9:44 pm
I was wanting Fremantle to win last night but how can they win when they rest Ballantyne, Mayne and Sandilands?
March 7th, 2010 at 9:44 pm
434- that my point! lmaoo toovs, toovs, toovs! he better prove himself to me this year
March 7th, 2010 at 9:44 pm
435: I don’t know how to answer that. You might stab me, depending on your stance. LOL
March 7th, 2010 at 9:45 pm
436: I hate Ballantyne. He’s a little rat.
March 7th, 2010 at 9:45 pm
438- lmaoo no i wont im not obsessed.
March 7th, 2010 at 9:46 pm
Twilight is overrated.
439: WHAT!? He’s like my favourite player.
March 7th, 2010 at 9:47 pm
Bate kicks to Watts, who goes to Wonaeamirri,
he kicks it to the pocket, the Dees look tired and weary,
The ball bounces, just inside the line,
Jurrah pounces, we all feel fine.
He doesn’t look back, snaps it straight through the gap,
He’s a real genius, he’s no Justin Plapp
March 7th, 2010 at 9:47 pm
440: Then I hate it. Sorry. But I do. LOL. I’ve read it, seen the movies – my best friend is obsessed, so I had little choice. LOL.
AND I work in a bookstore. So I’d be happy if I never saw another vampire book again as long as I live, hahahaha
March 7th, 2010 at 9:48 pm
443- lol not offended at all i was just wondering.
March 7th, 2010 at 9:49 pm
443- when we had ball practice with the guy school in year 10 my friend who was obsessed almost passed out when her partner said “can we please move away from the sun?”
March 7th, 2010 at 9:49 pm
LOL, Josh – the first time I saw him was against Geelong last year. At Skilled Stadium. He kept staging for free kicks – and he was a terrible actor. And the umpires kept giving them to him.
He had a free kick before the opening bounce of the game. He had his second free kick before the second bounce of the game. He had his third free kick before the third bounce of the game.
Thank God he was so friggin inaccurate. LOL.
March 7th, 2010 at 9:50 pm
445- I dont get this twilight thing. I mean, never read the book, never seen the movie, I dont give a crap about any of that crap.
March 7th, 2010 at 9:51 pm
445: Haha, a guy said that??
446: Yeah well, he’s not as bad as Stephen Milne so count yourself lucky.
March 7th, 2010 at 9:51 pm
Robert Pattinson has nothing on Jeffrey Robert Paterson . .
March 7th, 2010 at 9:51 pm
Ballantyne is a rat but he’s a really good player, and I was right up close to him last Sunday
March 7th, 2010 at 9:51 pm
447- its more of a chick thing I doubt u will be swayed by a group of hot vamp dudes and hot werewolves
March 7th, 2010 at 9:52 pm
how can vampires be hot, they’re blood sucking freaks!
March 7th, 2010 at 9:52 pm
447- Same Steve, I dont see why anyone would rather watch that or read it when you could be watching or reading about footy.
March 7th, 2010 at 9:52 pm
448- yeah and she was determined to remeber if he had cold hands! lmaoo
449- no way!! thats ur name!!
March 7th, 2010 at 9:52 pm
445: Hahaha, that’s funny ;-p Sometimes I fear I am a vampire :-S My skin is so pale it actually shimmers in the sun, LOL. And I have golden-brown eyes. They turn black in flurescent light and yellow in sunlight. My friends have been bagging me about it for years, but now that Twilight is out, all of a sudden, it’s: YOU HAVE CULLEN EYES!!!! LOL
I suppose the books do have their merits, I used to like them, I’m just over them, LOL. Around Christmas 2008, when the books sold out everywhere, we were getting 80-100 enquiries per day about the books.
March 7th, 2010 at 9:53 pm
452- its b/c in the book vamps are portrayed as perfection, the most beautiful things u would ever lay eyes on.
March 7th, 2010 at 9:53 pm
453- Amen
March 7th, 2010 at 9:54 pm
448: No one is as bad as Milne, did you see his perfomance in the Grand Final? It’s become the poster image of the new rule against staging, LOL
March 7th, 2010 at 9:54 pm
454- It is, My parents named me Jeffrey Robert Paterson lol
March 7th, 2010 at 9:55 pm
455- lmaooo oh gosh!
my friends forced me to read it, it wanst too bad and i like romance, i liked the movies but i was never obsessed.
March 7th, 2010 at 9:56 pm
458- i cnt stand Milne or Riewoldt!
arggghhhhhhhhhh
March 7th, 2010 at 9:56 pm
Milne was so bad against the Dees in Round 22, I swear he took playing for frees a step further
March 7th, 2010 at 9:57 pm
ipod- micheal Buble!
March 7th, 2010 at 9:57 pm
461: Cmon Danni, you have to admit, Riewoldt is one of the best players in the league. He is the reason i’m tipping the Saints to win on Saturday
March 7th, 2010 at 9:57 pm
464- FARK NO!
(sorry)lol
March 7th, 2010 at 9:57 pm
I cant stand Tippett!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WHY DID THE DEES HAVE TO LOSE!!! WHY??? ;(
March 7th, 2010 at 9:57 pm
461- I’ve said this before and i’ll say it again, the only thing i like about Milne is the way he sings the theme song.
March 7th, 2010 at 9:58 pm
466- naww steve
March 7th, 2010 at 9:58 pm
466: Cmon Steve, you have to admit, Tippett is one of the best young forwards in the league.
Milne has been impressive this NAB Cup too.
March 7th, 2010 at 9:59 pm
Brent Moloney is the best theme song singer, yes you could argue the Dees sing it better only cos they win less
March 7th, 2010 at 9:59 pm
461: I used to feel sorry for Riewoldt, after the whole collarbone thing.
After last year, though, all sympathy is gone. The number of times he stuffed his own teammates up… not to mention the lies after the Granny about his “injury”… LOL
March 7th, 2010 at 9:59 pm
469- HE IS! I KNOW! BUT I HATE HIM NOW!!
WHY????????????????????????????????????????? WHY??? WHY???
March 7th, 2010 at 10:01 pm
I’m back, and I second comment 447.
My middle name is Kenneth.
March 7th, 2010 at 10:01 pm

470: Pfft, you’re kidding me.
What about Boris Enright? The Tomahawk? Scarlo? They sing with the classiest facial expressions known to man.
And what about Mathew Stokes? He never bother to learn the words, just “bom-bom-bom”s his way through the number :p
March 7th, 2010 at 10:02 pm
474: One word
TANKING!
March 7th, 2010 at 10:02 pm
474- Steveyy..listen to me…its okayy..i understand but u need to calm down
March 7th, 2010 at 10:02 pm
Kenneth? really? u dont look like a Kenneht i was thinking Adam James or soemthing
March 7th, 2010 at 10:03 pm
Jeff, just don’t alright.
March 7th, 2010 at 10:03 pm
WHY DANNI? WHY DID IT HAPPEN???
March 7th, 2010 at 10:03 pm
Kenneth was my grandpa’s name. Well, actually my grandpa’s middle name.
March 7th, 2010 at 10:03 pm
Sucks dosn’t it steve. Feel lucky you dont have Hislop.
March 7th, 2010 at 10:03 pm
480: Comment 476
March 7th, 2010 at 10:04 pm
475- i cnt say much since we dont allow the camera to tape our song inside the circle, which i agree with.
March 7th, 2010 at 10:04 pm
Calm down Steve, it’s just a game, and an unimportant one at that.
March 7th, 2010 at 10:05 pm
480- well steve…im not sure but maybe its cos u didnt have superman, and i would have gladly lent him to you to take those two kicks but yeah..im not allowed am i?
March 7th, 2010 at 10:05 pm
Why would you agree with that? On the rare occasions Richmond sing the song, I love watching the players belt out the song in jubilation.
March 7th, 2010 at 10:05 pm
476- Josh don’t make me tell you again! lol
Milne has been in good form throughout the Pre-Season and Schnieder hasn’t performed too badly either.
I don’t think Steve would have been this ropeable had the Dees lost by 76 points.
March 7th, 2010 at 10:05 pm
481- ohh cool mines Joanne
March 7th, 2010 at 10:06 pm
THIS TIME TANKING ISNT AN EXPLANATION!!!
March 7th, 2010 at 10:06 pm
Mines Matthew.
So im SMH
March 7th, 2010 at 10:06 pm
Wish the Tigers would place Hislop on the LTI list and elevate Relton Roberts.
Alliterative forward line: Mitch Morton, Troy Taylor, Relton Roberts
March 7th, 2010 at 10:06 pm
479- I was tempted. .8)
March 7th, 2010 at 10:06 pm
I have no second name whatsoever!
March 7th, 2010 at 10:07 pm
487- i mean inside the circle, not, not being able to see it at all!
and tahts cos they should be able to have a personal moment without a camera in the way.
March 7th, 2010 at 10:07 pm
491- nawww lol i was goona name Pendlebury bear Matthew, but he just looked so much like pendles
March 7th, 2010 at 10:09 pm
Simon Taylor will be on the sidelines for the first half of the season.
March 7th, 2010 at 10:09 pm
Does anyone know what Labour Day is? I’ve never understood why we all get a day off because of it.
March 7th, 2010 at 10:10 pm
Danni, you’re acting like the footy players have cameras following them 24/7. Most young footballers in particular would enjoy being filmed yelling out the song with their teammates.
March 7th, 2010 at 10:10 pm
498- who cares, more sleep for me!~
March 7th, 2010 at 10:10 pm
494- Either did my pop
March 7th, 2010 at 10:10 pm
499- okay thats understandble but we dont wnat nay more DIVAS we already have Daisy!
March 7th, 2010 at 10:11 pm
497: There goes my bet on Simon Taylor to lead the league in frees against…
March 7th, 2010 at 10:11 pm
503: He’ll make up for it, don’t you worry.
March 7th, 2010 at 10:12 pm
503-Mitch Clark gave away the most last year, and he still starred in dream team and supercoach points
March 7th, 2010 at 10:12 pm
i think the umps are very mean to Medders! hes just as TEDDY!
March 7th, 2010 at 10:12 pm
Labour day honours those who work and contribute to society by allowing them to have a day off.
This will feature in my report lol.
March 7th, 2010 at 10:13 pm
the umpires are are very mean to the Melbourne football club, especially that runt Heath Ryan
March 7th, 2010 at 10:14 pm
505: True, but Simple Simon led on average for players who have played over 10 games.
March 7th, 2010 at 10:14 pm
What did Heath Ryan do this time?
March 7th, 2010 at 10:15 pm
The umps hated Richo so much. I dont know why !
March 7th, 2010 at 10:15 pm
Maybe because of the fact he gave the umpire the bird on one occasion..
March 7th, 2010 at 10:15 pm
He’s a terrible umpire, I remember he was horrible in the Bombers v Dees game last year (Jurrah’s first game), I mentioned it in my report on this website
March 7th, 2010 at 10:16 pm
Maxwell reminds me of myself when he yells back at the umps. im like that if i think something is right ill have a fighting match.
March 7th, 2010 at 10:17 pm
512- :/ bloody ump deserved it
March 7th, 2010 at 10:17 pm
514- We know Danni,we know, lol
March 7th, 2010 at 10:17 pm
WORST UMPIRE- SCOTT MCLAREN!!
BEST UMPIRE- DARREN GOLDSPINK
March 7th, 2010 at 10:17 pm
What about poor old Greg Williams: He earnt 43 possesion in a game against Melbourne and didn’t poll a Brownlow vote ultimately costing him the 1993 Brownlow medal.
and yes I relaise he has won two in his career but a third would have been spectacular.
March 7th, 2010 at 10:18 pm
516- lmao yay
March 7th, 2010 at 10:18 pm
517- I’m good friends with Darren Goldspink’s daughter.
March 7th, 2010 at 10:18 pm
He’s retired Danni, lol
March 7th, 2010 at 10:18 pm
521- I KNOWWWWWWWW!!
March 7th, 2010 at 10:19 pm
520- really? well he was the best!
March 7th, 2010 at 10:19 pm
520- As you told me at the footy Damo, didnt you tell that she’s good looking as well? lol
March 7th, 2010 at 10:19 pm
518- They hated Richo more.
March 7th, 2010 at 10:19 pm
I wouldn’t wanna be an umpire’s son or daughter, you would cop so much flak from the kids at school haha.
March 7th, 2010 at 10:20 pm
524- ooooooooooooooooo DAMMMMMO!!!!
March 7th, 2010 at 10:20 pm
My brother used to hold the mistaken belief that Darren Goldspink was an actor on the TV comedy show Skithouse. The guy he thought was Goldie was actually Damien Callinan.
March 7th, 2010 at 10:20 pm
Well she’s not too bad, certainly in comparsion to most of the girls at my school.lol
March 7th, 2010 at 10:20 pm
Worst Umpire- Heath Ryan
Best Umpire- Brett Rosebury
I’ve got good umpire knowledge, I pretty much know all the umpires
March 7th, 2010 at 10:21 pm
Do you know who Ian Robinson is Steve?
March 7th, 2010 at 10:21 pm
I hate when your good friends with a girl and comment 527 happens.
March 7th, 2010 at 10:22 pm
Remember seeing this a while back on Bigfooty, took a while to dig it up though:
Simple Simon met an umpire
At the centre square
Says Simple Simon to the umpire
I do not play fair
Says the umpire to Simple Simon
I will blow my whistle
Says Simple Simon to the umpire
My career is in the s***hole
March 7th, 2010 at 10:22 pm
531- rings a bell
March 7th, 2010 at 10:22 pm
532- LMAOO i know i know
i was talkign to a friend about her friend that i ha dnet at a party, all i said was “yeah hes a nice guy” and she thought i was in love with the guy!
March 7th, 2010 at 10:22 pm
I hate all the umpires who hate richo.
March 7th, 2010 at 10:23 pm
So you hate all the umpires then?
March 7th, 2010 at 10:23 pm
Woooooooooooo!!! I finally got a comment with 36 in it :O !!
March 7th, 2010 at 10:23 pm
533- Adam, if you want quality poems, see comments 414,428 and 442 (wow they were all 14 apart, I didnt realise)
March 7th, 2010 at 10:23 pm
527- Shut up Danni! lol, we are just friends she’s not the most diehard footy fan either.
March 7th, 2010 at 10:23 pm

although i seriously cannot wait to met steves toilet chick.
March 7th, 2010 at 10:25 pm
517: Really? I hate Goldspink. He always had it in for Geelong, and especially the Abletts.
March 7th, 2010 at 10:25 pm
You go to a lot of parties Danni. The last party i went too was NYE. I remember a couple of years ago going to a party with Jeff and we were the only guys there lol. Weird night that was, the Cats absolutely smashed West Coast at Subiaco and during the day the Roos surprised all with a comprehensive win over Hawthorn.
March 7th, 2010 at 10:25 pm
Justin Plapp Steve? That’s taking forced rhyming to a new level. The rest of it’s good though.
March 7th, 2010 at 10:26 pm
What toilet chick? lol Is she like that Moaning girl off Harry Potter?
March 7th, 2010 at 10:26 pm
well, I’ve gotta find a girl first, I dont know where to look apart from the girls toilets in public places, which would give me a bad reputation, so I dunno Danni.
March 7th, 2010 at 10:26 pm
547- lol not really…although i do have a friend party on sunday at a bar or soemthing
March 7th, 2010 at 10:26 pm

548- Have you heard of him Adam. Former Richmond and St.Kilda player?
March 7th, 2010 at 10:27 pm
550- i told ya, steve food courts, cinema areas, the footy for crying out loud! lol
March 7th, 2010 at 10:27 pm
I bet Moaning Myrtle supports University. They’re dead.
March 7th, 2010 at 10:28 pm
Have I heard of him? Course I have, I remember he had quite a good patch in 1998, the year I first started following footy and Richmond.
March 7th, 2010 at 10:28 pm
Good old Justin Plapp, a friend of mine used to play with him in Tasmania I think.
March 7th, 2010 at 10:28 pm
yes I need to meet one at the footy, but it has to be at half time, and she cant force me to miss any of the action!
March 7th, 2010 at 10:29 pm
559- Who don’t you have connections with, Damo? Daniel Harford, Darren Goldspink, now Justin Plapp?
March 7th, 2010 at 10:29 pm
Yeah Dom was there i just remembered.
March 7th, 2010 at 10:30 pm
560- thats what i said, half time is perfect to hav a browse. if shes really pretty ull notice her when she come to her seat b4 the match starts that was u can monitor how she supports her team and stuff.
March 7th, 2010 at 10:30 pm
What should be her criteria Steve?
1. Needs to have a vast statistical knowledge of AFL Football
2. Demons supporter
lol I’m just kidding.
March 7th, 2010 at 10:31 pm
but if shes too pretty, shell be a distraction from the action
March 7th, 2010 at 10:31 pm
562- That wasn’t a great party was it, remember when we played poker, I like dominated lol
March 7th, 2010 at 10:31 pm
Susie, how hot are RECORD selling dudes! seriously i have to check out a few b4 i decide who to buy one off!
and once there was an ice-cream guy i swear BRETT DELEDIO’S YOUNGER BRO
March 7th, 2010 at 10:31 pm
564- That would help Damo, but I would love teaching a girl all my stats expertise
March 7th, 2010 at 10:32 pm
561- I don’t actually know them and I have rarely spoken to any of them so I wouldn’t call them connections lol.
March 7th, 2010 at 10:32 pm
565- LOL i dont htink that will happen with u steve… lmaoo
i always notice guys when they come to their seats.
March 7th, 2010 at 10:33 pm
568- well u have to decide if ur only after a Dee.
March 7th, 2010 at 10:34 pm
A guy in my brother’s basketball team lives next door to “Mark” Zaharakis but I’m not claiming a connection with him.
March 7th, 2010 at 10:34 pm
Im not only after a Dee, im after any girl who is good looking and can respect someone like me
March 7th, 2010 at 10:34 pm
561- Plus this particular friend of mine has played with Harf, mick McGuane, Plapp, Brett Moyle, Joel Smith, Patrick Bowden, Keenan Reynolds, Sam Cranage etc. but I have never actually met any of them, aside from McGuane.
March 7th, 2010 at 10:34 pm
572- WHAT?? OMG WHATT!! WHERE DOES HE LIVE?? WHENS MY NEXTDRIVING LESSON!
March 7th, 2010 at 10:34 pm
Although a Dees supporter would be a big positive, wouldn’t it Stevo?
March 7th, 2010 at 10:34 pm
My friend lives in the same street as Matthew Bate I think
March 7th, 2010 at 10:35 pm
573- im shocked that u didnt mention a small interest in footy. well that means u need to go to other teams games aswell a bit more.
March 7th, 2010 at 10:36 pm
576- Yes
March 7th, 2010 at 10:36 pm
I once saw Rhyce Shaw at my local pub, and another time at my local gym.
I had a friend in primary school who was the grandson of Thorold Merrett.
March 7th, 2010 at 10:36 pm
567: LOL! Danni, Danni, Danni – you’re still so young. I’m old, I have perspective – I always buy my record off someone who nobody else is going to. I’m a pity buyer.
But I will admit there is a VERY fine specimen working at the Cats Shop/Membership stalls. He bears a loose resemblance to Max Rooke. Very loose. But that’s enough for me. I’ve talked to him a few times.
He looks a little like the Wildman. He goes for Geelong, works for Geelong, in fact = I think I’m in love :p
But Geelong have a tradition of lookalikes in the Cats shop. There’s a guy who works there who could be Stokesy’s brother.
March 7th, 2010 at 10:36 pm
578- That as well
March 7th, 2010 at 10:37 pm
i had a strict collingwood dude only guideline, but for some random reason i changed my mind…i think it was cos i saw a really happy couple cuddling in an essendon jumper and the other in a collingwood jumper..and they looked happy.
March 7th, 2010 at 10:37 pm
A girl who supports Richmond and loves and understands footy would be a big positive for me. There’s surely some out there.
March 7th, 2010 at 10:38 pm
I once saw Robert Murphy at a pub, oh wait, that was the almanac launch.
Adem Yze’s son goes to my sister’s child care centre right near my house, Yze also lives in Ashburton.
Gerard Wheatley lives in my street, and Anthony Hudson lives just around the corner
March 7th, 2010 at 10:38 pm
584- Same although supporting Carlton would be a good feature.
March 7th, 2010 at 10:39 pm
Someone who looks like Rooke, and you call him a very fine specimen? Okay..Rooke’s definitely the weirdest looking guy in AFL, top bloke i’ve heard though.
March 7th, 2010 at 10:39 pm
581- LMAOOO really, i stand there looking for the hottest one and its HARD!! cos theres plenty!
lol my uncle called over the ice-cream guy and said “are u realted to Deledio?” just so the guy could come near me and i was like dying.. lmao
March 7th, 2010 at 10:39 pm
All this discussion about irrelevant connections with footy players reminds me of the TISM song “I Rooted a girl who rooted a guy who rooted a girl who rooted a guy who rooted a girl who rooted Shane Crawford.” Google it, the lyrics are entertaining.
March 7th, 2010 at 10:40 pm
584- i think i know someone..wait..shes Tiger but..shes not that into it..
March 7th, 2010 at 10:40 pm
I just want a girl that can understand footy, and that i need to watch every game, lol.
March 7th, 2010 at 10:40 pm
585- I know it’s obviously hard and your street lasts for a few kilometres but have you ever met them Steve or glanced at them.
March 7th, 2010 at 10:41 pm
591- im your girl Jeff! lmaoo im only kidding!!
im no ‘cougar’ sorry josh just one more time
March 7th, 2010 at 10:42 pm
Here’s the 589 song.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CAnAKPvy1KA
March 7th, 2010 at 10:42 pm
593- Haa cougar classic, ‘Someones obsessed with my hair !’
March 7th, 2010 at 10:43 pm
592- He only lives a few houses to the left of ours Damo
March 7th, 2010 at 10:43 pm
593: !
March 7th, 2010 at 10:44 pm
lmaooo so true Jeff!
OMG i could do that line so badd!
next guy taht says just HI im gonna say it to him.
OMG i shoulda said it to JACK
March 7th, 2010 at 10:46 pm
‘ oh oh oh, its MAJAK, you knowwwww, never believe its not sooooooooo’
March 7th, 2010 at 10:46 pm
Majak Daw?
March 7th, 2010 at 10:47 pm
Top bloke Majak is.
Am off now everyone.
March 7th, 2010 at 10:47 pm
Josh, Max Rooke is indeed odd-looking. But he has such a pretty face, LOL. He’s really odd, though. A great bloke, but speaking of connections…
My mum works with someone whose son is friends with Rooke, and apparently whenever they go over to Rooke’s place to hang out, he makes them meditate first.
More to the point, the guy at the Cats Shop fills my criteria:
1. Cats Fan
2. Geelong local
3. More shy than me. This is important so that I can have the stronger personality so that I can say: I choose to attend football over the birth of my own child and have him agree.
March 7th, 2010 at 10:47 pm
cyadam.
I’ll probably have a late night tonight
March 7th, 2010 at 10:47 pm

613- Sure have its gun as lol.
March 7th, 2010 at 10:52 pm
my head- Melbourne theme song
March 7th, 2010 at 10:53 pm
I’m curious, now – what type of music are you all into? LOL. What’s “hip” with the kids these days?
March 7th, 2010 at 10:54 pm
I hate the music today I like 70’s 80’s and 90’s rock, I get sick of that hip hop and rap. My friend thought this was hilarious and bought me a Best Music of the 80’s CD for my birthday last year.
March 7th, 2010 at 10:54 pm
618- lmao i love my boys bands, Justin Timberlake, Lady Gaga, Kesha,
March 7th, 2010 at 10:55 pm
OHH MICHEAL BUBLE AND ELVIS!!
March 7th, 2010 at 10:55 pm
Damo, good work
And Danni, why am I not surprised? LOL
March 7th, 2010 at 10:55 pm
619- Same i like all music though.
March 7th, 2010 at 10:56 pm
I dont like that much new stuff either, its all crap. Im not much of a music fan, although there are a few songs I like listening to
March 7th, 2010 at 10:57 pm
Anyone here heard of Bodyjar? or Trust Company? A Day to Remember?
Or are they too underground for you? :p
March 7th, 2010 at 10:57 pm
what does underground mean in music terms?
March 7th, 2010 at 10:58 pm
I havnt heard of them Susie.
March 7th, 2010 at 10:58 pm
624- Yeah I agree with you Steve, I’m not a fan of the new music.
Of course footy related songs are the best music you could wish to hear! lol
March 7th, 2010 at 10:58 pm
622-
LOL
March 7th, 2010 at 10:58 pm
It means obscure, LOL. The type of bands that play in underground bars. But all three of those bands have HUGE cult followings, lol.
Danni – am I right in guessing Dean Geyer is right up your alley?
March 7th, 2010 at 10:58 pm
Songs that remind me of footy, like songs they play pre-game at the MCG, are my favourites
March 7th, 2010 at 10:59 pm
631- Neitz!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
March 7th, 2010 at 11:00 pm
630- deeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaannnnnnnn
*squeals*
txt dean to 19 10 10!!
oh yes.
March 7th, 2010 at 11:00 pm
631: I love those songs too
If I hear a song on a footy ad, or on those prematch promos, I have to have it. That’s how I became obsessed with ‘Holy Grail’ by Hunters & Collectors, LOL
March 7th, 2010 at 11:01 pm
thnx for the memories, loves that for ch 10
March 7th, 2010 at 11:01 pm
634- Oh, so high !
March 7th, 2010 at 11:02 pm
633: I think he may be one of the best looking guys to ever live ever, LOL. And a great voice … his appearance on neighbours dinted his reputation somewhat, but first time I’ve ever heard him with an Aussie accent, LOL
March 7th, 2010 at 11:02 pm
634- Same any song that reminds me of footy puts a smile on my face, like that song for the AFL 2009 promo, I think its by a band called the Dropkick murphys, cant remember the name of the song
March 7th, 2010 at 11:03 pm
I remeber Channel 7’s footy theme song in 2000 was catchy, I believe the name of the song is ‘Stand tough’: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2RyLXEVlKQg
March 7th, 2010 at 11:03 pm
635: Me too! Spesh because it was the finals song. Everytime I hear it now it reminds me of the ‘07 granny
And I love ‘Sweet Disposition’ for the same reason, ‘cept the year changes to ‘09
March 7th, 2010 at 11:03 pm
637- ohh yeah!! he was jst stunning DEAN geyer!! i spent god know how much of my credit txting his name to vote for him on idol! omgg i cried when Racheal left him on neighbours..you know the airport epp. omggg
March 7th, 2010 at 11:04 pm
has anyone heard Ashley-Escape the fate?
March 7th, 2010 at 11:04 pm
638: Shipping up to Boston. Using the music from the Irish Riverdance. Epic song.
March 7th, 2010 at 11:05 pm
30h3- starstuck- ft Katy Perry i like that song
March 7th, 2010 at 11:06 pm
thanks for the memories is ok, sweet disposition is one of my favourite songs
March 7th, 2010 at 11:06 pm
644- Its a catchy song lol
March 7th, 2010 at 11:06 pm
644- Yeah I dont mind that song
March 7th, 2010 at 11:07 pm
I guess Danni and I are the only ones into ‘now’ music. My favourite song at the moment is ‘Nice Guys Finish Last’ by Cobra Starship= http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tMAhOcZRj-4
I like Fall Out Boy, Linkin Park, Good Charlotte, Green Day, Simple Plan, Evermore, Dropkick Murphys and Cobra Starship. I like heaps of oldies too, my favourite old song would be ‘Better’ by Screaming Jets
March 7th, 2010 at 11:07 pm
646- lol i just have dance when i hear it
March 7th, 2010 at 11:07 pm
645: On top of it being a footy song, Sweet Disposition always makes me think of Spring (possibly because that was when I first heard it and the finals are in Spring)
Anywho, I’m off all.
Night night!
March 7th, 2010 at 11:08 pm
goodbye Susie
March 7th, 2010 at 11:08 pm

Linkin Park are ok, In the end and numb are good songs
March 7th, 2010 at 11:14 pm

March 7th, 2010 at 11:16 pm
Anyone like The Offspring ?
March 7th, 2010 at 11:16 pm
