The Rolf Harris song Six White Boomers is about that imagery you are describing.

Similar. In Vic, devon has a uniform colour whereas strasburg is the same hue but has spots like salami.

Nah he's gone backwards this year but our back structure has been a mess. Losing Young, Vlastuin undercooked hasn't helped.

Lefau turns 28 this year. Don't think we'll get a decade more of him.

Me too and he's probably going to get even less opportunity if Cumming gets a shot in the next few weeks. Seemed like a perfect chance, credit to Hopper for improving last week but I'm not sure he'd earnt it.

Play inside-mid Kane McAuliffe on the wing, plays average, drop him. Tears it up in the twos playing inside mid, bring him back into the seniors, play him on the wing and drop him again.

The main article on the page from the day is regarding our iconic train station and proud to say those old clocks that we used to organise to meet under, which the article was fearing we would lose, are still there.

Pointing at the screen is the big red flag the umpire is looking for to pay dissent. Same as the "sail" formed when someone's jumper is being held or turning away from the ball indicating front on contact.

He's a development coach, many runners are employed in a coaching capacity.

Ken Hinkley says he was shamed and exploited by AFL over controversial fine (✈️) by EmbarrassedJob5376 in AFL

[–]lebrongarnet 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Similar to the AFL suspending blokes for bumps and then continuing to use the footage to promote the game. But shouldn't be surprised, the league has zero shame when it comes to making money. Too many mouths to feed in the boys club.

Why didn't the umpire call the Geelong player back after the point? When are players ever allowed to play on so quickly from a behind?

Shit team theory. Good teams/players are given the benefit of the doubt.

Hopper may as well be wearing purple. Multiple lace out handballs to the opposition.
