For years the only time I hear from him is when he shoots me a snarky text after a Melbourne loss. Especially if it’s at the hands of Carlton.
🤔 Funny thing, I haven’t heard from him in quite a while. 😁

You may not again in my lifetime.

    Can I ask

    is Nigel Farage the UK pollie, is he a secret contributor to this thread and if so what is his moniker?

    he is all over the Banana Republik thing.

    We don’t allow idiots on here, so no, he is not a contributor.

    If I can remember Carlton correctly, they had some success in the 80's. Also a few good coaches had gone there and failed big time. I pity any Carlton coach and player. It a very thankless task.

    They have been ordinary since the league cracked down on paper bag payments. That made it very difficult for them to go out and buy the best players. They failed to adapted to the new system in the similar way that the MFC did in the 60'S.

    Indeed, it has been fantastic watching them suffering over the years. If only it could last another 57 years.

    The problem is that their golden era was at a time when football coverage was restricted to match of the day replays on a Saturday.

    All people really got to watch on a weekend was their premiership third quarter comeback. Hence why they have so many enduring supporters.

    20 years (and counting) in the doldrums, a deeply ingrained delusion that they are some type of latent super power (when they are likely to fall out of the big 4 Melbourne clubs the way they are going) and an impatience that prevents them from  fixing the joint up properly should see the status quo prevail for some time.

    I won't hear another cross word against Nigel.

    Despite your sullying of his good name, he is a generous and thoughtful soul as is demonstrated by this video of him sending birthday wishes to his former MEP constituents.

    Maybe Carlton can merge with Collingwood so both irrelevant teams can become one?

    Hope it’s okay to post this here despite it being not about footy. But it’s also not about hwfua, so hopefully it’s all good. 🙂

    This is how I first saw today’s HS back page, ie, upside down…

    I was aghast. I thought, ‘Scott Boland smokes?! He smokes while training?! The HS has published a pic of him smoking?!’😆

    I intentionally posted the pic upside down, Jontee. That’s how I first saw it. Otherwise, you see it’s The Big Show’s bat. 😁

    I call our illustrious captain my “winter Maxy” and Glen Maxwell my “summer Maxy.”

    Now I find out that HWSNBN, thinks he is a cricket umpire as well and once called our beloved Captain Maxie for chucking.

    How dare he suggest that Maxie would bend the arm when bowling.

    It was probably because he got a close up look of him bending his Back whilst Chucking.

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      A month is a long time in AFL football. The proof of this is in the current state of the two teams contesting against each other early this Saturday afternoon at the MCG. It’s hard to fathom that when Melbourne and Fremantle kicked off the 2025 season, the former looked like being a major player in this year’s competition after it came close to beating one of the favourites in the GWS Giants while the latter was smashed by Geelong to the tune of 78 points and looked like rubbish. Fast forward to today and the Demons are low on confidence and appear panic stricken as their winless streak heads towards an even half dozen and pressure mounts on the coach and team leadership.  Meanwhile, the Dockers have recovered their composure and now sit in the top eight. They are definitely on the up and up and look most likely winners this weekend against a team which they have recently dominated and which struggles to find enough passages to the goals to trouble the scorers. And with that, Fremantle will head to the MCG, feeling very good about itself after demolishing Richmond in the Barossa Valley with Josh Treacy coming off a six goal haul and facing up to a Melbourne defence already without Jake Lever and a shaky Steven May needing to pass a fitness test just to make it onto the field of play.

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.
