Having a look at my best 22(team selection) I have realised that 8 players did not strip for the NAB cup. Now that really excites me:

They are- James Frawley (pectoral muscle), 7/8 WEEKS

Nathan Jones (back soreness), -2/3 weeks

Jordie McKenzie (groin soreness),- 2/3 weeks

Cale Morton (finger) 7/8 WEEKS

Ricky Petterd (hamstring) 2/3 weeks

Matthew Warnock (ankle) will miss through injury.- 2/3 weeks

Tom Scully- TBC

Austin Wonaeamirri -TBC.

That to me is unbelievable along with winning twice in Adelaide on the same night. GO DEES.

    You know what he 'means'...

    Some statistical humour for everyone.

    Median is the word he is looking for.

    Easy way to remember - the median strip runs down the middle of the road. Median strip.

    Thanks rpfc, you are correct of course :wub:

    I could be a smartrz and say I was just testing, but as I can never lie, it was just a brain fart

    And I did do stats (at uni too) enough to know I didn't want to be an actuary

    Anyway, as I think you said in another thread statistics don't "mean" much (at least some of them)

    BTW we have median strips in my part of melb that don't run exactly down the middle, but I like your memory jogger anyway

    You are complete moron Bobby. Of course the NAB cup is important, nearly as important as a flag. I was very excited with our efforts tonight. Post something sensible next time!

    I agree with you, he's a bit of a Num skull at times.

    He probobly doesn't understand that we need to recieve winning form & Mo-mentum, just ask Dunny.

    The Dunny brush, hmmn,,, I feel a nickname comin on. the 'Janitor', just cleans Up. LoL. forgive me.

    Our H/Way has got 3 median strips, so we're doing really well. And they're all parallel to one another, a little like 'corridors', side by side. they go all the way to the railway bridge, but then that wall stops them in they're tracks. The railways tracks.

    I suspect this draw was scripted with the expectation that both Adelaide's would beat us as a prologue for their mini derby.

    this was the conversation at AFL HQ

    Douchebag1: 'well clearly it is logical to schedule the adelaide clubs and the WA clubs to host a match and have a side come from interstate, so 2 victorian sides will have to draw the short straw and travel straight up'

    Douchebag2: 'ok, so, game 1 at AAMI... Melbourne?'

    Douchebag1: 'obviously'

    And playing two teams in Port & Adel at AAMI; coming away with wins

    First time ever where we travelled interstate and had so much support. Crows fans went nuts and cheered whenever our players did something against Port. And probably vice versa.

    Conspiracies around every corner...

    are you suggesting we are given fair treatment in this regard

    Collingwood, Carlton and Richmond in Melb.. what are the odds they would send one of them instead of us to go to AAMI, would never happen in a million years

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.
