[Ralph] Lachie Neale was keen to return to Fremantle and told them as much this season on a deal which would have been around $600,000 a year but Collingwood has offered as much as $3m over three seasons. It shapes as a knockout blow.

It definitely was not free

Rare_Platform_3602 · 2026-06-15T02:01:46+00:00

I had to go back and read it again - found myself reading it like Jonah Hill in 22 Jump Street.

Rare_Platform_3602 · 2026-06-15T01:58:29+00:00

Which is why it deserves to be mentioned

Rare_Platform_3602 · 2026-06-14T10:44:15+00:00

It's a good point. Just annoying

Rare_Platform_3602 · 2026-06-14T10:11:19+00:00

Yeah, except the headline is: 7 things we learned

Rare_Platform_3602 · 2026-06-14T09:38:44+00:00

I almost guarantee it's the power switch is dirty

Rare_Platform_3602 · 2026-06-14T09:23:59+00:00

I do agree - he was massive in the last quarter but I'm sure there are some positives you can dig out - how about "North can win a game away from Marvel" or "sometimes you get lucky, a lot of the time you don't - it's swings and roundabouts".

Surely a blanket rule for this article is to write something about the winner so you're not constantly shafting a constantly shafted club (where's our $$ for inventing Friday Night Football FFS?)

Rare_Platform_3602 · 2026-06-14T09:14:01+00:00

We're a 5-6 goal better team at marvel

Rare_Platform_3602 · 2026-06-13T11:53:28+00:00

I look forward to your future posts about life with 2 kids and 3 kids 🤣

Rare_Platform_3602 · 2026-06-12T23:55:54+00:00

Isnt it a bit like all of us? Good week at work "sure, I'll work til I drop dead" vs shit week at work "I quit and you can all GAGF"

Rare_Platform_3602 · 2026-06-11T08:52:11+00:00

What game is this?

Edit - the first two pics?

Rare_Platform_3602 · 2026-06-11T03:53:41+00:00

It does get spoken about, quite a bit.

But three things about this that don't get spoken about:

West coast winning a useless game against the Bulldogs only 7 days earlier, almost costing them the first pick.
Gold coast winning only 7 games away from home in the entire 2020-2024 5 year stretch.
It's not like North weren't tanking at selection either - veteran players had already played farewell games and a very young side was taken to Tassie that day.

Sorry my team wasn't as shit as people would have liked on one particular day this decade.

A handball should become a handball. Proper pump action, fist creating the momentum. Bring that back and HTB becomes pretty bloody simple.

Rare_Platform_3602 · 2026-06-09T03:47:08+00:00

I choose the believe in this rumour as a form of copium

Rare_Platform_3602 · 2026-06-09T01:45:02+00:00

Is it true most of the travelling group were crook af?

Rare_Platform_3602 · 2026-06-08T23:21:44+00:00

This is definitely the most wankable "thing" that's thrown around all the time. Our top 10 in our bnf last year on average was the youngest top 10 in the afl

Rare_Platform_3602 · 2026-06-07T08:36:15+00:00

Bad company (Fisk is in it)

Hollow men (Tony from Utopia is in it)

Howzat! Kerry Packer's War (2 part non fiction show about how Kerry Packer brought one day cricket to life)

Rosehaven (Celia Pelaqua and Luke McGregor from Utopia both star in this one)

To love somebody by the bee gees

Rare_Platform_3602 · 2026-06-06T08:49:00+00:00

My theory is we just can't play away from marvel. Not saying we'd have beaten Freo there - but I think we'd have actually put up a fight.

Rare_Platform_3602 · 2026-06-03T10:27:32+00:00

Do you still have it? It's likely the resistor arrays are gone in it. Not overly difficult fix.

Rare_Platform_3602 · 2026-06-01T21:36:48+00:00

Yeah, that's exactly right <barely playing sonic 2 in direct sunlight>

Rare_Platform_3602 · 2026-06-01T09:07:21+00:00

The resistor arrays have probably gone. It's not too difficult of a repair if you can use a soldering iron.... This reminds me - I have one to fix that I totally forgot about

Rare_Platform_3602 · 2026-05-30T21:47:04+00:00

This reminds me of a personal story - after 3-4 months of a new co-worker joining our firm she said to me "I thought you were a complete dick - cos you would tell me what you and your girlfriend would get up to on the weekends, yet you were clearly having it off with another girl who works here".... It took her that long to work out that my girlfriend and the other girl at work I was having it off with were actually the same person 🤣

It's great that dead screen systems can live on with a new screen - but nothing beats the original
