To become a member of the Geelong Football Club you need a name, a birth date and an address.
In March 2007 my wife Rachel was in the family way. Thanks to an ultrasound, a planned caesar, and a stable household, for yet-to-be born Harvey I already had the three pieces of information. So with Rachel twenty weeks pregnant, Harvey became a member of the Geelong Football Club: in utero.
He is, to this day, officially the youngest ever member of the Cats.

THE Magpies are raging flag favourites, thanks to the Hawks fuelling their hunger on the eve of the AFL finals.
The Pies’ stinging loss to the Hawks in round 22 hurt like hell. Collingwood’s flat spot, on the eve of the finals, could prove to be the catalyst in their quest for the premiership.
The Hawthorn loss was the fuel the Magpies needed to brush off their famed losing mentality.

This is insightful: “I believe Magpie superstar Dane Swan could prove his team’s trump card, if he controls the midfield in their remaining finals.” My one-year-old son who can only say daddy offers more!!! Read more »

Nice to see you’re brave enough to post comments that are critical of your writing style and content, Julie. Or, more aptly: Julie Stating the Bleeding Obvious In an Uninteresting Way Tullberg. Sorry if you find criticism offensive but you seem to be getting away with murder here. Read more »
Big Bad Bazza - Barry Hall - has gone through the wringer and emerged as a new man, ironing out all those kinks. Who would have thought that Bazza could reverse his fortunes after one too many brainsnaps at the Sydney Swans?
Bazza - we were waiting for you to trip up again as a ferocious Bulldog. We were waiting for another almighty brainsnap.But it didn’t happen. Instead, Bazza treated us to high-flying marking and a string of match-winning goals. Bazza’s seven-goal haul in the NAB Cup grand final on Saturday night was legendary, elevating him to cult status.
Bulldogs’ fans – celebrate hard. It’s been 40 years since you charged your glasses to toast the Doggies as night premiers.

Don’t agree. Bazza’s smart. He knows what he’s good at, and he’s a winner. St. Kilda’s cactus, unless Rievoldt can get some guts. Read more »

I'm one of the older ones, so I've certainly seen a few changes in my time. When I started school I learned to write with a nib pen, dipped in an inkwell (no, I'm not kidding). My mother became a dab hand at getting inkstains out of my clothes. Flicking ink at one another in the classroom was an essential… [read more]From: I’d rather have a piece of toast than listen to crap lyrics
