Yeah, that's rough, VB isn't even the worst or second worst beer available in Victoria.

It's the third worst.

You pay for the right to have your name on there don't you, not actually having 50k names on a guernsey.

At least if they did manage to squeeze 50k names on the guernsey there would be a legitimate reason to charge $350 for it.

Zaine Cordy has extended his contract with the Bulldogs until 2018. From what I have heard, he's been really impressive this preseason and he's one of the two second years (the other being Bailey Dale) that are tipped to have a big impact this season.

So there is renewed talk about O'Meara coming back to Melbourne. Carlton, Richmond and Hawkthorn are apparently early front runners. Guessing this may be one or two of the old Hawks last years (especially if they win another premiership) and that would make room for O'Meara.

I guess any one of Hodge, Mitchell & Burgoyne could call it a day at the end of the year and be perfectly happy with their careers.

As mentioned earlier, they already sacked their boss because he hasn't delivered a premiership for a number of months now so they're going to have to dig deep.

Morabito is in full training, and has been working as a backman rather than midfield, which will hopefully mean less pressure on is knees. At 191cm and 93kg he could play on most sizes. I really hope he gets a few real seasons at AFL level in a row.

Shane Yarran and Michael Johnson are back training with the full group while Bennell is still working on his own program. I really want to see how Yarran goes at AFL level.

AFL HQ can't stop being horrible even when it's got nothing to do with AFL.

http://www.adelaidenow.com.au/news/...289dafebe37d11e posted:

AFL chief executive Gillon McLachlan has launched court action over the approval of a massive wind farm on the doorstep of his family�s historic Rosebank property, near Mt Pleasant.

Mr McLachlan has appealed against the approval of the $700 million wind farm, to feature 114 turbines standing up to 165m high dotted along the ranges between Palmer, Tungkillo and Sanderston.

The appeal is listed against wind farm developers Trustpower, the Mid Murray Council, Environment Protection Agency, the Planning Department and the Environment Minister.

A preliminary conference is scheduled to be heard in the Environment, Resources and Development Court by Commissioner Lolita Mohyla at 3.30pm tomorrow.

Mr McLachlan�s is one of four appeals filed against the wind farm, which was approved by the Mid Murray Council�s development assessment panel on December 18. He yesterday declined to comment about the appeal.

In December, he submitted a video message to the development assessment panel opposing the wind farm being built.

�Even if it were to be conclusively established wind farms do not produce health problems, it�s annoying and affects quality of life,� he said.

�I was frankly heartbroken that this land will be forever marred by enormous man-made structures.�

Mr McLachlan also said any wind farm would cause significant damage to the land, would hinder potential tourism opportunities and �cause extreme division in the community�.

Rosebank, a prominent and historic sheep station east of Mt Pleasant, was pioneered in 1843 by Scottish-born landowner George Melrose, whose descendants include the McLachlan family.

The Eastern Mount Lofty Ranges Landscape Guardians, on behalf of up to 90 residents in the region, have also appealed against the development. They are scheduled for a preliminary conference in the ERD Court in mid-February.

During an ERD Court preliminary conference, the parties discuss how they would like the court proceedings to occur. This could include through continued negotiations, mediation or by trial or hearing.

Eastern Mount Lofty Ranges Landscape Guardians chair Tony Walker said opponents felt the approval process was unjust. �We believe that the whole process failed to give any weight to the objectors,� he said. �There is a lot of opposition � from the little man on the ground and from people with more resources.�

Numerous people living near wind farms have claimed they cause health problems, including severe headaches and disrupted sleep patterns.

However, the National Health and Medical Research Council issued a report last year that found there was �currently no consistent evidence that wind farms cause adverse health effects in humans� � but said there was a need for more in-depth research.

Mr Walker said those opposed to the development were prepared for a fight. �We�ve been fighting for almost five years (and) it�s a fight that could go on for years, depending on who blinks first,� he said. �(But) it�s worth fighting for.�
