Maybe I'm just misremembering it because I was a kid, but were the legends games of the 90s/early 00s a bigger deal/played with just a bit more meaning?

Yes, when it was mid season (during the bye?) and had more past players and less radio hosts.

It also wasn't in an aflx format.

Let me start off with a basket of chips. Then move on to the pollo asado taco.
I feel like there is probably a direct correlation between it getting utterly insufferable and James Brayshaw beginning as its main commentator .. at least in my mind thats when i remember it going from "eh, this is kinda fun and nostalgic" to putrid.

That was the point I turned the TV off. Walla is great but that band are pretty embarrassing (not as embarrassing as the blow job they've been getting from the media though)

ah yes, I remember growing up watching Teddy Whitten playing our glorious game of AFLX.

EJX Whitten, more like.

Fevola got fat, wanganeen looks like he could still play a few seasons of proper footy. He's 47, but looks 35.

Wanganeen played a game of country footy a month ago or so.

because he can kick goals from 65 out off a step

and he's a radio host (like 5 other players) so they could attempt to hype the game up during the week.

There's a petition to give Tassie its own footy team: https://unitedwestand.com.au

I don't know if it will do any good but I like to think my signature has put Norf one step closer to being moved to a permanent home across Bass Strait.

David Kings proposed trade of Shaun Higgins to Geelong in exchange for their first round pick, while also paying his wage, has got to be one of the most spectacularly stupid things I've ever seen.

The fact King used to be a North player makes it even more bizarre

Essendon VFL really looked to the AFL side for some finals inspiration there .... blowing a 40 point 3/4 lead is pretty incredible

At least we wont choke like this on Thursday night as we will be unlikely to actually score 40 points.

Holy poo poo I thought someone had intercut that video of Walla looking awkward into the performance but nope, that ... that was him actually standing there while they kept cutting to him.

Speaking of Walla, so glad he signed on this week as he is cool and good.

Brad Scott took some nondescript job for the boys at the afl which means north have to pay the difference between whatever salary he’s on and $800k next year counting in their soft cap. It’s probably a big difference. Apparently they sacked him thinking he’d get a job somewhere else and they would get away without paying him out but nope.

Brad Scott won't be an executive level though, he'll make 'only' about 250k I imagine. More than an assistant coach, less than a fulltime coach and north will have to pay the difference.
