		Sorry...I was watching AFL highlights, waiting for them to show the most dashing bartender at Telstra Dome.
		Brisbane will be without their full forward Lynch, and could also be without ruckman Keating who missed training last night with a virus.
		St Kilda will welcome three things in this return to the Gabba, where it was embarrassed a fortnight ago - the fact that the heat will not be a factor with the match being played at night, the injury that takes Lynch out of the equation and Maguire's return.

	Lionised - The Unofficial Home Page of the Brisbane Lions
		Ruckman Dean Brogan will play his first AFL game of 2002 on Saturday against the Brisbane Lions – in the last minor round game of the season.
		The AFL is now mindful of over-sanitising the game and has hinted at taking a more encouraging stance on tough football, in the wake of the positive reaction to the torrid encounter between Brisbane and Essendon.
		The AFL is bracing itself for perhaps the biggest controversy of any September, with the MCG preliminary final contract now likely to disadvantage both South Australian teams, as well as hand a lucky Victorian club a massive free kick.

		The Richmond ruckman is eternally grateful for another opportunity and will lead the Tigers' ruck division in a match so important it is likely to decide which of these two topsy-turvy sides will play in the finals this season.

	BomberBlitz.com : 2005 Fixture
		Richmond is next up on the Essendon agenda at the MCG in AFL Round 15, a match where they could be without ruckman David Hille and Jason Laycock who along with defender Dean Solomon could be facing AFL video investigation during the coming week after ‘incidents’ against the Roos.
		As stated earlier, Mark Johnson looks like he is marching towards his second Essendon Crichton Medal with another stellar game while Jason Johnson and Andrew Welsh were the main possession winners with 23 each.
		With five goals each in the final term, full-forward Matthew Lloyd finished with two token goals to continue his unproductive matches in 2005 even though he was one of the Bombers ‘best’ with 12 marks and 18 possessions.

		Madden commenced his senior career at Essendon, but his opportunities there were restricted owing to the presence of another champion ruckman in the shape of his older brother, Simon.

		Between 1974 and 1992 he played a club record 378 V/AFL games for the Bombers, kicking 575 goals which included club list topping tallies of 45 in 1980, 49 in 1982 and 42 in 1991.

	BomberBlitz.com : 2003 Match Previews
		A record crowd for AFL in Sydney has been tipped in some quarters with the Bombers always having a good representation in the stands wherever they travel while the Swans are riding high following an away victory over Richmond last week which sees them sit 6th on the AFL ladder.
		Whether Hille can match it with the more experienced and mobile Swans ruckman Adam Goodes looms as one of the keys to the contest.
		Goodes has been in spectacular form so far in 2003, but if Hille can produce the same form as he did last week against the Weagles, the Bombers will be in with a big show of upsetting the Swans.

		IT WAS difficult to determine what was causing Jim Stynes the most anguish yesterday - a hangover or his retirement from AFL football.
		When asked if he had been considering retirement for some time, Stynes, who has won Melbourne's best and fairest award four times and holds the record for playing the most consecutive AFL games- 244 between Round 16 in 1987 to Round four in 1998 - said it was like moving to Australia.
		After a season as back-up ruckman to expensive recruit Jeff White and several injuries, Stynes, 32, said he knew it was time to leave the game.

	Sn-Sz
		In 1987, Stynes returned to Melbourne, beginning a 12 year association with the club that included a VFL/AFL record 204 consecutive games, the vast majority of them as a ruckman.
		Such was the extent of Stynes' adaptability and mobility, however, that he in effect provided the Demons with the benefits of two players in one - a powerful, high leaping ruckman, and an all action 'ball magnet' of a ruck-rover.
		This determination and resolve was much needed during Stynes' first couple of years in Australia when he failed to develop as quickly as he would have liked, and found himself being farmed out to VFA side Prahran for a time in 1986.

		Wallace said Tambling and Brett Deledio - the first player selected in last year's National Bank's AFL Draft - were likely to play in next Friday night's pre-season opener.
		Ruckman/forward Greg Stafford played half a match, while midfielder Mark Coughlan played a quarter, but Wallace said the match committee was preparing the 2003 Jack Dyer medalist for round one of the home-and-away season.
		Deledio, veteran recruit Mark Graham, youngster Tom Roach and the mature-aged Shane Tuck were also noticeable performers.

		Deledio, selected at No.1 by Richmond in the 2004 national draft, played all 22 games last season and was named the AFL Rising Star.
		Pagan said one other new face would be included against the Demons, most likely to be former Brisbane Lions ruckman Dylan McLaren as former Sydney defender Jason Saddington battles injury.
		CARLTON coach Denis Pagan is hopeful gun recruit Marc Murphy this season will have the same impact as last year's No.1 draft pick, Brett Deledio.

	Fevola in new low at club function - News - www.realfooty.com.au
		The young forward, whose name is below that of Alex Jesaulenko on locker No. 25, used filthy language in demonstrating his lack of respect for Carlton's 328-game three-time flag winner, an official AFL legend and a ruckman in the team of the century.
		CARLTON forward Brendan Fevola was heralded as the future face of his once-proud football club in June when the Blues put their misgivings aside and signed the erratic 24-year-old to a three-year deal worth close to $1.4 million.
		It was a somewhat messy Fevola who wandered from his table to one alongside it, taking the seat of his club's communications director Ian Coutts shortly before Carlton legend John Nicholls presented Anthony Koutoufides with the best and fairest medal that bears Nicholls' name.

		Brownlow medallist Scott Wynd has renewed his call for the AFL to appoint a retired ruckman to its rules committee, describing the revised rules governing ruckwork this season as unfair and discriminatory.
		Wynd said several players' games had been affected by ruck rules being tweaked over recent seasons.
		Madden also expressed disappointment with the way ruckmen who grabbed the ball from contests were being penalized, and suggested the rules committee call in expert advice when deciding different rules for particular positions, while Dempsey described the rules as "silly".

	Western Bulldogs - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Western Bulldogs, formerly known as the Footscray Football Club or The Bulldogs is an Australian Football League (AFL) club based at the Whitten Oval in western suburban Melbourne, Australia, drawing its supporter base from this traditionally poor, industrial, and less leafy part of Melbourne.
		It had players of both quality and character such as Charlie and Ted, later Gary Dempsey, the heroic ruckman who was badly burnt in bushfires in 1967 but managed to take out the game's top individual award, the Brownlow Medal in 1975.
		During Smorgon's term, the club was renamed from Footscray to Western Bulldogs and moved from the Whitten Oval to the Telstra Dome.
