Sub: Sin Bin

The Bye did a job on Adelaide a couple of weeks ago and has seemingly scared the crap out of St Kilda, but I just think Melbourne have got better depth and class and will steamroll them. Tiwi Islands in for their first of the year, whether he will have an impact isn't known yet.

Got this from the BYE FC Web Page

For those not familar with the players.

The Bye

Booze Bus - Roams all over the ground, Used to stop playmakers

Couch - Tends to rest on his laurels. Used as a resting ruck

TV - On his day can tally big scores

Holiday - Takes the brunt of the workload

Relations with the Missus - Week to week proposition prone to have off games

On its day can blow a game apart

Studying - Reads the play well, not scared to get stuck in

Long drive - Roams all over the ground, tends to break down with injury

Partying - Likes to go hard early, lacks stamina

Footy Show - Talks up teammates will influence a result.

Radio Stint - 1st game back after a lay off , (suspended for abuse)

Twitter - Keeps getting brownlow votes , high possesion winner

Family Time - Underrated, keeps plugging away

Kids Classes - when on his game can score heavily, but tends to lose interest.

Facebook - racks up the stats, plays anywhere.

Relaxation - Drifts in and out of the game, often gets caught out napping

Friends - Front runner, wont be sighted if the going gets tough.

McDonalds - inside or outside player, has many tricks, one to watch.

Physio time - Big bodied, great tackler,likes to hurt the opposition

Work experience - relies to much on teammates to help, lucky to play (Computer did a hammy at training)

Remote Communities - Team player, capable of doing anything

Tiwi Islands - Stay at home forward, goal sneak

Sub: Sin Bin - Hard and tough, needs to curb his temper

So PS3 and X-Box have been dropped?

PS3 is still playing for the seconds, he's been terrible all season.

Xbox got hit with an illness - reports of red rings around his eyes.

We beat the bye by 90 points last week, but I think this week will be much harder, and whatever the result, our percentage won't change, which is a shame.

Posted

I just hope we dont get any injuries out of this weekend.

And I reckon if I dont pay close attention to Relations with the missus this week,

I might be in some doubt for a big one next Thursday night.

Twitter just let it slip Bye team may not lineup as selected

Wikipedia could be a late selection. Could be the only one that has all the answers to curb Jurrah.

Posted

Late news...

Myspace was looked at for the Bye but it appears he's on his last legs.

Talk of him being traded, sold or just taken apart....

Posted

I saw their reserves play last weekend against Sandringham. Fishing was looking good for a promotion until the wet weather came in and he looked lost at sea. I see he has been placed on the long term injury list after that nasty incident that saw him literally lose his tackle. Ouch!

Posted

popular favourite, Easter Eggs, is making a late run for selection for sundays game... there are concerns over his ability not to melt when the heat is on, however.

btw this is easily the best thread on here

Posted

Had Scully been fit he would have gone head to head with Partying in the centre. No doubt he wouldn't have been looking forward to it. Partying can be a close tag for many. Many have fell victim to Partying. There's been many instances where they really feel the pinch the next day.

Scully has had a much better record lining up on Booze Bus (who rotates with Partying), and each time has come through unscathed and the clean winner.

POTENTIAL EMERGENCY SWAP FOR BYE

Radio Stint might be on the way to be dropped. Up to replace him is either Movies or A Weekend At Home. Not sure which one is the bigger threat...


Posted

This got me thinking, what was Bye like back in the early part of the 20th Century when there were only 11 clubs. I have done some research and found this team that was going around in the 1919 season

B: Waxing moustache/Smoking a pipe/Visiting seaside

HB: Sending telegram/Radiogram/Thrashing staff

C: Playing with hoop/Penny Farthing/Fisticuffs

HF: Starching/ Cod Liver oil/ Snuff

F: Visiting a Speakeasy/Motorcar/Talkie

19th Man: Morphine

20th Man: Billie Hughes

Interesting line up by todays standards but pretty competitive back in the day.

The coach of the bye Cara Van Parke

just announced he might risk a fine and

select " dirty weekend' to add some muscle to the team,as a late inclusion.

Must be concerned using this ploy to try and put us off our game plan.

That must be why there are rumours of Bucks Night being selected floating around...

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan. Lever was also on restricted duties and appeared to be in runners.  The main group was doing end-to-end transition work in a simulated match situation. Ball mov

    Some veteran Demonland Trackwatchers ventured down to Gosch's Paddock to bring you the following observations from another Preseason Training Session. WAYNE WUSSELL'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Rehab: Lever, Spargo, McAdam, Lindsay, Brown Sinnema is excellent by foot and has a decent vertical leap. Windsor is training with the Defenders. Windsor's run won't be lost playing off half back. In 19 games in 2024 he kicked 8 goals as a winger. I see him getting shots at g

    A couple of intrepid Demonland Trackwatchers headed down to Gosch's Paddock for the midweek Preseason Training Session to bring you the following observations. Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date. We’re already a month into the MFC preseason (if you started counting when the younger players in the group began the campaign along with some of the more keen older heads)

    BEST OF THE REST by Meggs

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9. A huge achievement in what was a dominant season by North. For Melbourne fans, the season was unfortunately one of frustration and disappointment
