If the fixture was fair I’d be against this. But it’s not, and so I don’t mind the idea of teams 7-10 deciding who is more deserving of playing finals by actually playing each other, rather than it being decided by who played West Coast (or Tasmania) twice.

I’m very glad you’re here.

It must be nice seeing a GF without paying $2000 in airfares.

At Lions games after a goal they play a song of the goal-scorer’s choosing. Charlie Cameron’s song is Country Road. The fans just like singing that one so they sing it a bit longer.

I would have pegged Harold as Mullaloo.

Freo’s impressive win against reigning premiers Melbourne at the MCG in Round 11 2022 set up their finals tilt that year. I think the Collingwood game has a similar feel. The exciting thing is I’m convinced Freo have another scoring gear to get to, this year or next.

Every Australian INXS fan considers this post an act of war.

It’s just a personal opinion that wearing camo is a tacky. I think the ADF signed off on it so it’s not ‘wrong’ but people have different levels of comfort conflating people actually risking their lives and people playing footy. For me, wearing part of an army uniform for sport crosses that line.

They say Trump makes problems, just to see what you can stand. Before he does as Putin pleases. Give up the country you love.

No one deserves it.

In those conditions against a good team that’s a really impressive third term.

It’s annoying.

I’m not going to say I willed a good game into existence, but….

Very good summary.

Jayson Tatum is not the first player EVER in the play-by-play era to record meaningless and have their team lose.

Great piece.
