another exciting trade day

if the afl have any brains they will extend trade period to 3 weeks and start a trade tv channel in full hd

1. Your premise is false.

2. Really? You must be magnificently bored ... It would be more exciting to watch Biff entertaining the lads ... :):blink:

    Any 'Back to The Future' watchers and/or history buffs?

    Chicago Cubs - 107 yrs since having won the world series. In the movie, one of the characters got hold of a Sports Almanac, went back to the past and loaded up on the Cubs when it got to 2015 - knowing that they'd won as a 200-1 shot.

    In real life now - 2015 - the Cubs have now made their divisional final and aren't all that far from the World Series.

    Thought I'd share.

    You can all have that 1 minute back now.......#tradeweekboredom

    Cheers. Plenty of countdowns on this thread.

    Just thought I'd re-visit the first several pages of this thread. Below is the post that started the banana talk. Much better prices nowadays. Think making a smoothie now will kill some trade time and satisfy the tastebuds: -

    Pods and some other senior player are 50/50 for this week. Pods could be rested and out for Mooney.

    What's with banana's at $14.00 P/kg these days ? Don't tell me the carbon tax is up and running already....

    Interesting experience yesterday I am keen basket ball follower and for many years I was a Tigers member.

    When the Tigers became Melbourne United I lost a lot of interest in the NBL.

    So after good results in the pre season competition and two from two wins in the season proper I decided to go last night.

    The United won again and even at this stage look to be good chances to go all the way this season.

    It was a good game but I found myself an on looker rather than being involved with the team.

    I was purely an observer.

    I just cannot get involved the way i used with the Tigers.

    There is talk of the TIGERS returning in a few seasons time, that looks a pipe dream to me.

    Also I am not sure how you barrack for the "United" !

    I drove home thinking this game confirmed why I still follow AFL

    My team is still there. If the Dees were to fold I would be an observer of AFL.

    PS there was a very good crowd which just shows people will follow winnners even when they they have no history, have a god awful strip and no emblem as such.

    People like to win. They also don't enjoy losing a whole lot, but i suppose you can be philosophical about it ( or just resigned lol )

    I like to win, to revel in the euphoria. Might even happen with the Dees, but I'm philosophical :rolleyes:

    I am with you on that one, OD. I can;t get into the United, no matter how many games they win. The Melbourne Tigers were a real club, with history, feeder programs, good links between layers (like NBL players coaching juniors), and all that goes with it. United? Sounds like a synthetic bunch with no appeal for me.

    Perhaps that explains why my financial status (and social status) plummets whenever I visit the Gat.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?
