So in the late 1980s, when I was in uni (or SAIT to be precise), I read a humorous review of an Aussie Rules game. I have no idea where I read it in.  I did, however, steal the idea and wrote a similar version for our SAIT magazine following the 1986 (? could’ve been 85 or 87…) Technol where the School of Mining Engineering team triumphed at Aussie Rules (and the sculling/skulling comp) up in the Adelaide Hills.

I cannot remember all of it, nor can I find even the article I wrote (pre “everyone has a computer” days), but it included lines like:

“And so it came to pass, that the knights from the Hill of Wind (Essendon) sallied forth…”

“And the coach sayeth unto them – “shark ye the packs and gather ye the crumbs, for he who does not do these things shall suffer the wrath of the track of tan””

“And so it was that the brothers Madden, and Terry of Daniher, didst rise up…”

“And the Knights of the Hill of Wind ascended another rung higher on the ladder to celestial bliss.”

I don’t know who wrote it nor where it was published, and I may even have dreamed it.  But if anybody out there knows what the hell I’m talking about, please fill me in

Anyone have some superpower afl pattern recognising in the crowd?

Certainly

Used to be the biggest advocate for the app over the afl official, but the time has come for me to admit defeat. Pop up ads, haven’t updated player profiles in about 4-5 years, constantly down and I just got a pop up that was clearly a virus that said I needed to clear my malware. Is there any other alternative app or do I need to bite the bullet and switch to the official?

footy journalists bad. give updoot

Means I would get to see him again

Sure, they are the best players, involved in almost every play of the game and getting nearly twice as many touches as they used to? But why not the forwards who kick nearly half as many goals as they used to? Is it really fair to judge the Brownlow based on how impactful a player is?
The invention of media in 2009 has been a disaster for the Brownlow

What sort of NDIS care packages are available to my family?

Who thought it would be a good idea to let an 80 year old coach an AFL side?

Huge Santa Claus vibes. But this guy does not deliver
