NAB Cup: Geelong, North Melbourne, Western Bulldogs

By Steve Healy Travel- It’s a word that circulates through the realms of every footy lover’s soul, season after season. How will we get to our destination? Why are we going there?

NAB Cup: Essendon v Brisbane v St Kilda

Spraying the colour into my hair, I studied it in the mirror. It looked pretty good. My hair was now a lush green colour.

There is a distinct feeling that we lost the Ashes partly because [Read more]

NAB Cup Questions

The NAB Cup is only 43 days away, not long to go at all. Finally we’ll see some football action instead of the insipid Cricket that’s been on lately. Watching Cricket doesn’t work for me, especially when we’re being toyed with by England. But I’m having trouble with the normal, bubbling enthusiasm I have for [Read more]

Footy: The 4 Fs = fabulous February footy feeling
