August 27, 2025Aug 27 Popular Post https://www.carltonfc.com.au/news/1877216/silvagni-chooses-to-exercise-free-agency-option JSOS is the third generation of the immortal Silvagni name at Carlton, and was given the keys to the club when he was still wearing nappies. He was sidelined for the entire 2024 season and most of 2025 thru injury, but Carlton has stuck by him and wanted him to stay on. I know footy is big business now.....and....Jack wants out of Carlton on free agency. He does not know where he is going or what pay packet he will get, but to quote him, " I felt the time was right to explore another opportunity," About the only loyalty remaining in football is the supporter base, but I am so disillusioned, Jack can F%#@ off wherever he wants. In next year's footy tipping I may even pick with my head instead of my heart and select against Carlton for the first time ever. Rant over.

The academies, NGA's, and father sons has just <deleted> the draft. West Coast finished last 2 years ago when we picked up Harley Reid at pick 1. Our next pick was 30. How the Hell can you rebuild?

I felt the same way when Gerard Healy went to the Swans, and he was a top 3 player in the league at the time, you get over it, and it shows how far the Blues have slipped...

August 27, 2025Aug 27 Popular Post Excellent tipping Scea. Great to see you win. I am glad I scared the crxp out of you. Thanks to Chook for setting it up. Many thanks to Will for the weekly results. I hope I will be back for next year.
August 27, 2025Aug 27 Popular Post Well Gangsters An extended round/season of home and aways games is finally over. As expected, GC got smashed and that means our winner for the 2025 Thailand Mob tipping comp goes to the 2nd best looking farang in Chiang Rai, none other than our Scea. It was pretty much him and Chooks for the last part of the year with Rip coming with a late rush. Thanks to all who participated, not only in the tipping but on this forum as well. I don't know what I'd do without Uncle Alex's musings to cheer me up. Thanks again to Chooks for the set up. As with Rip, hope to see you all next year.
August 28, 2025Aug 28 Well done Will for running the comp again, a few more punters would be nice though, I might give it a plug around the forum next year and maybe we can all refer a few mates too it. The season has been largely dissed by scribes this year, there have certainly been a lot of one sided games, with a few clubs not looking to improve for a season or two to come yet. Once again, the secret to tipping success? Watch what the bookies are doing, they don't stay bookies for long with bad judgement...
August 28, 2025Aug 28 Well done Scea Mr Consistency. Guess it is Will's shout at your next lunch meet.

August 31, 2025Aug 31 When the guts has been ripped out of your footy belly the only thing left is the VFL, Casey Demons, once the Springvale Scorpions in the deep Blue and Red, rather a pretty jumper I thought when they entered the VFA back in 83 tore the Seagulls, a VFA power house back in the day like Pies and Lions, well before a lot of people where born, tears them up, with 14 listed Demons playing, Springvale as i prefer to know then and use to be the capital of Vietnam Melbourne when I was a lad and Springvale Rd almost as long as Sukhumvit Rd running through what now is the centre of the city but use to be a far off province of the state of Victoria and next to Melbourne, the road running through Waverley, you heard of Arctic Park yeah? Why did the VFL/AFL build a stadium in the middle of a rain belt? and the coldest part of Victoria? Hawks took it over cause it was at the end of the planet and people hated going there is now empty anyway and then there was Dan Andrews who's only claim to fame as premier was the Covid crisis that I though handled it well keeping us jailed in our houses for nearly two years, got a lot of haters out there but I though it was a job well done considering we got hit hard, use to vote Lib at the federal level cause you cant trust labour with our money and Labour state level because they would spend money, particular on infrastructure, well we all hate well I do Dan now, and I stopped voting Labour at the state level too for the same reason I did at the Fed level...frigging p.r.i.c.k. handed over a couple of billion dollars of Vic taxpayers money by tearing up like we did to the Gulls yesterday the contract to build a new road system the Libs had signed us up for, couple of billion dollars for nothing, like didnt even get a hole in the ground for it, just reams of paper work to store somewhere. Not to be out done tears up like we did to the Gulls yesterday the Olympic Games contract, that we had in the bag, or was it the commonwealth games, im getting old, another cool billion....of my money Dan...like it grows on trees hey? And this Is post sub prime....I rate Dan Andrews as the worst person on the planet along side George Bush who orchestrated the Sub Prime crisis. Yeah so what's this got to do with Footy? im seeing red....red...RED...scorpion Red, Demon RED, anyway Willy, is nick name for Williamstown a sea side suburb it has a beach and is an original suburbs of Melbourne and quite historic, we use to go there for Sunday brunch cause it was cool to be seen there walking along the shops and eateries with the view of there little harbour opposite, Casey Demons 132 def Williamstown Seagulls 56. Originally when AFL clubs "took over the VFA" it was something like when Japan during the Second World War went to the Thai parliament and said, let us in, let us in or we will blow and blow till your house falls down, so they did, let them in, Paul Macartney sings Let 'Em In, you should know that, I was a big Macartney/Wings fan you know, its lovely how your old brain connects songs to historical past acts..1976, Speed of Sounds LP, had it on vinyl...Anyway we took over Sandringham which I kinda liked even though I was a Tonner....Blues ended up taking over the Tonners (Preston) and we have seen what's happened to both clubs now Adrian. Then it came to pass for reasons we not know why, Sandy gets sold to the Saints and we go get Springvale, during the colonisation of Springvale we keep there colours but change there jumper which use to be like the Blues with SFC letters in red on a deep blue jumper very hunsum I thought, to god knows what it is now, pretty horrible actually with a lighter blue, for heavens sake ditch the lighter blue, then go about changing there name and moving them from little Vietnam to Casey and of course killing of Casey footy club in the process...with the complete annexation of Springvale and Casey we now have the Casey Demons who walloped VFA powerhouse Willy, yesterday. Since the Scorpions came into the VFA/VFL, ho I miss the VFA days, there list of coaches has been quite impressive, some pretty good ex VFL players have coached there, Phillip Pinnell? ex Blue an A grader, Laurie Fowler, star back pocket who came over from the Tigers to play for the hapless Dees, Phil Maylin, an other Blue, who would forget him ADRIAN? ps they were all captain coaches, Bernie Sheehy, Brad Gotch, P Nicholson think ex Dee ruckman but cant be sure, Kenny Sheldon of the Blues mosquito midfield, G Wright recall but cant place think a Pie, Peter Banfield, a hack Bomber, P German ex North, Brett Lovett a classic Demon player during the Northey years solid player one of my Favs, Another Dee in G Hutchinson a blonde pretty boy who could have been a star but injuries always coming at the wrong time, R Welsh, a Tiger, this is Hollywood Blv guys, and yeah I walked it during my stop over to Havana while in <deleted>ty LA, Jade Rawlings, and current who I never heard off and orchestrated the thrashing of the Gulls yesterday M Corrigan. Anyway if anything can be taken from this is.......the last time Casey were building is around the time Goodwin and Co where building though you wouldnt have known, so since we have no gas in the tank and its all bleak out there we hang on to a sliver of hope that history will repeat its self, and some good rock solid news came through this past week or two that Jeff White, ruckman genius, son Kalani has nominated for the Demons as father and son even though eligible for the Suns, he might regret this one day...We been rather fortunate to have had White, Stynes and now Gawn as our ruck men the only better ruckman ive ever seen is Simon Madden, White would take contested marks all the god dam time Stynes was a running machine and a contesting beast and the only player ive ever seen that got better every game, Gawn is the AFL version of the Brady/Goat, evergreen that stays and plays at a high level....

September 5, 2025Sep 5 I guess a we all know what Cam Rayner career will be after he retires. He won an oscar for tonight performance taking a dive. One umpire will not be seen again this season. It was disgraceful. Glad to see Geelong won.
September 6, 2025Sep 6 Liam Ryan has officially requested a trade to St Kilda. Personally I think at 28 he is past his prime.
