Robert Heatley Stand / Re: AFL Rd 3 2026 Pre Game Prognostications Carlton vs Melbourne
Last post by laj -I know the AFL hate us, but the scheduling of the next few weeks is seriously diabolical.
[1] Rd #2 Bye. Then an extra long wait before our next game when we really need game time into our players.
[2] vs Melbourne on a Sunday afternoon - not bad in itself, but then we have 2 short weeks in a row, Can't they schedule us for a Saturday? Or a Friday night?
[3] Good Friday against North
[4] Thursday night against Collingwood
Do other teams get screwed around like this?
Enough rant for the moment. After our bye, we play Melbourne at 15:15 on a Sunday (29th March).
I have no idea how good Melbourne will be, but they are going to miss their stars eventually.
Gawn is too good for our rucks. I'm not sure what we can do about that.

Last post by laj -Swans belted Brisbane. 9 goals up at half time. They're flying. We towelled them for an hour and 10 minutes before physically stopping dead. Not a great skill inq pacing ourselves. Once we are dead, we look horrible. Last half against Richmond made my eyes hurts. First qtr though, like the first half and 10 min against the Swans, so much different. If only we descended from Kenyans...lol.

Last post by crashlander -I don't like the Iranian government: theocracies are rarely desirable places to live, but he should really study a little history.
Two quotes that come to mind:
[1] Ubi solitudinem faciunt, pacem appellant: They make a desolation and call it peace by Tacitus, who supposed quoted an British chieftain, Calgacus.
[2] Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it, by George Santayana
