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.

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
