                I think I should have just used a smile emoji....I just thought Bloods05's comment was funny.....but I'm guessing you were being sarcastic with your "all political parties in Australia condemn racism" comment. If not, you have been away too long.

                  Yet another reminder to use this thread - this forum - for footy discussion. Further off-topic posts will be deleted. That includes posts where a footy-related comment is tacked onto a post that is otherwise off-topic.

                  Yet again, your are very welcome to discuss non-football matters but not on the footy discussion forum.

                    Very NON political.....this is worth a look.

                    An overview of every AFL version of Monopoly - Titus O'Reily | Don’t have faith in yourself

                    Here's some choice cuts:

                    Adelaide

                    One of the more difficult versions. Players need to avoid the Ramsgate Hotel and any player who lands on ‘Gold Coast preseason camp’ has to stay there forever, listening to the Richmond Football Club theme song on a loop.

                    Carlton

                    Every player starts with a brown paper bag full of cash and, ignoring the normal rules, can just buy whatever they like. Instead of railway stations, there are various pokie venues players can buy.

                    Getting all four of these gives a player a disproportionate and destabilising amount of control over the board.

                    Collingwood

                    Every second square is a jail. Landing on ‘Just Parking’ means any other player can steal your token. One of the ‘Chance’ cards is the ‘Do Better’ report. If you get this, the player must spin the wheel included in the version. They just keep spinning and spinning it until the game ends.

                    Melbourne

                    Impossible to win, every player moves around the board and every square is something worse than the square before. Community Chest cards include ‘hire Mark Neeld as coach, go back ten years’ and ‘Draft Tom Scully and Jack Trengove ahead of Dustin Martin and Nat Fyfe, go directly to the Long Room and drink heavily, do not pass go.’

                    Three-quarters of the way around players can stop playing.

                    Richmond

                    Free Parking square has manure dumped on it so you can’t land there. Players accumulate ‘arrogance’ instead of money and the person with the most arrogance at the end of the game is the winner.

                    Each token is a bandwagon.

                    West Coast

                    As each player takes their turn, the other players must boo them constantly. Instead of passing ‘Go’ and collecting $200, the player is forced to relitigate the 2006 premiership with a Herald Sun journalist until they just want to scream.

                    Western Bulldogs

                    Nothing much good happens for most of the game, then something amazing happens, only to then return to mediocrity immediately. Whoever wins has to hand the victory to Bob Murphy.


                    Very funny Titus.....

                      Just came across this podcast interview with Lynne McGranger (Home & Away) who's been a passionate Swans supporter for 30 years, discussing her memories as a fan during that time. It was recorded last December. Goes for 65 mins but is an entertaining listen when you can make the time:

                        Not sure where to post this. Here will do. This is a video about Tom Papley from a few years ago but worth watching again: Tom Papley: From Bunyip to the Sydney Swans - YouTube. Less than 3 minutes long.

                          That's a brilliant 3 minutes. Tom's a special player from a great family. Thanks for the reminder.

                            Every time you pass ‘Go’ you get $200 and a Cost of Living Allowance. One player gets the Buddy Franklin token but doesn’t get to actually play.

                              It's being reported that the AFL is looking to introduce a concussion fund for players. If the dollar values are correct, it suggests that they consider it to be a serious problem.

                                We're about ten years behind the US when it comes to most things in sport, so it's probably time that concussion is taken more seriously.
                                Not quite sure where all the money will come from though, besides the obvious source. Us.
