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.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.
