I lost a bet to Adelaide Docker, and this was my punishment

I've been watching the AFL/VFL now for nearly 30 years and this season is shaping up to be the best I have ever witnessed.…
Koutoufides could win Bone Head of the Year with his comments. Some stiff competition, it must be said, but he’s definitely a chance.
No, you play Curnow in the position he just won the Coleman Medal in.

Brisbane should be playing at there ‘G too.
It’s outrageous only 3 games are being played there.

Good call on David Patrick Kelly lookalike.
Best movie scene he was in: Big Arnie dropping him in Commando.

No one cares about rankings.
People care about Cups.
If you’re good enough, in any sport, you win them irrespective of ranking, seeding, etc.

You know you have problems when Jack Ginnivan is your secret sauce heading into September.

I don’t know about this. It feels like an article written for the sake of having a nonsensical argument.
You could replace the Lions with four other teams in the title and come to the same nonsensical conclusion.
Forget the ladder - the Lions have never been further away from a flag
Haven’t seen it. I’ll stream it to check it out.
Pretty certain I first saw her in one of the Bond movies. She’s got that sophisticated European sexiness about her.

Lol, that line cracks me up. I’ve watched it 1000 times.

Best comedy acting I’ve seen.
Marisa Tomei in My Cousin Vinny. Gorgeous women but fecking hilarious too. A rare double.
Dimma the Sun: Gold Coast unveil triple-premiership Tiger as new coach
Loved her in Edge of Tomorrow. She’s terrific.
First saw her in The Devil Wears Prada. Smokin hot.

Or that rocking horse scene. Damn!

Ohhh, Natalie Portman. I have a thing for her too. 👍

Ohhhh, Emily Blunt. Love her accent. She’s hot!

Not sure. All I remember was Jennifer Connelly being in it. Still the hottest women I’ve ever seen…ahh, apart from my wife.

A disaster is only a disaster if there was some relative calm before it.
I’d categorise Gold Coast more like The Bog of Eternal Stench. It can’t get any worse.

Nah, but my wife is. Does that count?
Roja all over the world: Spain win Women's World Cup as Carmona goal sinks England
I personally thought the Spanish must have paid her off with a big brown paper bag full of cash. Plenty of time wasting at the end.
She hammed up that penalty call after viewing the footage for an hour nicely too. Only an American could dramatise the $h1t out of it like she did.
Roja all over the world: Spain win Women's World Cup as Carmona goal sinks England
Congrats to Spain.
Commiserations England.
England, as against the Matildas, looked average in defence. More so tonight. Some felt their defence against the Tillies was perfect. It was far from it and cost them tonight, as I suspected.
Spain, well… they were wonderful in both attack and defence tonight. Worthy winners.
It’s been a great tournament.

It also goes up the more you’re over the cap. I can’t remember the exact numbers but it’s something stup1d like 200%.
AFL News: McGuire claims Simpson facing axe in bombshell report, Goodwin blasts 'absolute rubbish' rumours
I don’t think so. My understanding is you can spend whatever you like on that stuff. The problem is, when you hit the soft cap, there is an 80% tax. That tax goes back to the other clubs.
If that went to charity, I’m sure the Eagles wouldn’t care.
AFL News: McGuire claims Simpson facing axe in bombshell report, Goodwin blasts 'absolute rubbish' rumours
I don’t think it would be an issue for the Eagles, but the soft cap tax goes back to the other clubs. If that didn’t occur, I don’t think they’d mind. But, when your money is going back to the other clubs, it doesn’t make sense to break the soft cap.

I’d be surprised if Simmo wasn’t coaching next year since he seems genuine when he says he wants to continue.
The WCE don’t generally sack coaches like this.
Remember, past behaviour is your best predictor of future behaviour.

Nothing in this.
Some good banter from Morgan.
“Kept its form after slamming it into the back of the net several times”
Great stuff. 👍

Probably not Ed, but it’s possible they’ve spoken with someone else who has then passed it onto Ed.
Leaks occur for a reason. Some are true, others…. not so.
In this case, Eddie doesn’t have a great track record for breaking stories. If it was coming from Caro, it would hold more weight.
It doesn’t, so I don’t hold much credence in what has been said.

Darcy would be a good acquisition for the Cats.
They’d install some discipline into him, starting with dropping about 5 kegs and getting off the Maccas.
