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.

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the Demons return to the MCG to face the Tigers in their annual Blockbuster on ANZAC Eve for the 10th time. The Dees will be desperate to reignite their stuttering 2025 campaign and claim just their second win of the season. Can the Demons dig deep and find that ANZAC Spirit to snatch back to back wins?

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?
