I said the same thing about One Direction.

 

And yet you attended every concert along the Eastern seaboard.

    I have a Harry Styles tattoo across my chest which i now regret.

    Nobody in the tattoo parlour warned me off it.

    They went silent actually.

    If North does end up losing, it really opens the door not just for Port, but for us, Collingwood and St Kilda too. Collingwood's draw is tough but if they can beat GWS on the road they can beat a lot of teams. St Kilda's draw, though I do not rate them at all, is easy (they still have us, North, Carlton, Richmond and Brisbane, which can get them to 12 wins).

    I still think North will hold onto 8th but it would be nice to re-enliven the back-end of the home and away fixture by having a few clubs' finals chances back in contention.

    That stupid over reaction in the box that the Scott brothers have to umpiring decisions fills me with rage.  I dont wish bad on anyone, but Id love for both of them to disappear, maybe abducted by aliens.  As long as they are gone.

    Explode "Mars Attacks" style

    I think they will get found out this weekend....their performance last week was on the back of a lot of GWS players learning from their role model Stevie J and finding out that one in a team is more than enough.

    They smashed c/wood in the first 20 mins and then started to lairise...

    I think that was just so we don't need to listen to their coach [censored] and moan all week. Great decision.

    North have a tough run home. 

    Our game against Port may determine which of us could challenge the Roos for a spot in the eight...

    Yes, I hate Thomas too. And Harvey, And Buckley, Hodge, and too many others to mention. It would probably be simpler to name those individuals I don't hate.

    If we'd beaten North in Round 3, we'd only be 4 premiership points behind them.

    If we'd beaten Essendon, we'd have been equal on premiership points currently.

    If we'd won tomorrow's game, we'd have leapfrogged them into the 8.

    But who needs ifs!

    [censored] Luke Darcy  -  "Brodie Grundy had 26 possessions last week , the most by any ruckman this season"

     

    Except that Max Gawn had 27 vs Collingwood in a BOG performance vs Brodie Grundy.

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      The dominant storyline coming out of Round One for Saturday Night’s clash at Optus Stadium centres on the influence of the big men. The spotlight naturally falls on two elite ruckmen who, five years ago, shared the stage in Melbourne’s memorable premiership triumph.

    • NON-MFC: Round 02

      The compromised AFL fixture will get another test this week with the first lot of teams getting a bye after only two matches. Despite this Round 2 starts off with two cracking games as the Hawks host the Swans at the G on Thursday Night and then on Friday Night the Crows host the Bulldogs at Adelaide Oval. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • THE STATS FILES: St. Kilda

      As part of the effort to trim the runtime of the regular podcast, we’ve been looking at which segments could be reshaped without losing what makes them valuable. One segment that naturally came into focus was Binman’s Stats Files. Not because it isn’t important; quite the opposite. It’s become such a substantial and much-loved part of the show that it deserves a little room to breathe.

    • PREGAME: Fremantle

      After a stunning victory over the Saints in the first round of the Season the Demons head over to Perth to take on the Dockers who choked in their first match against the Cats. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      One of the big stories of the AFL off-season was the spending spree of Melbourne’s Round 1 opponent, St Kilda. They splashed out heavily, first to retain Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera - the hero of last year’s epic come-from-behind miracle victory -turning him into a $2 million man. They then effectively took out an expensive overdraft to recruit a string of expensive players from other clubs. It was a risky investment strategy and, although it’s still early days, it certainly failed to pay off in Sunday’s season opener, with much of the glitter turning to fool’s gold.

    • POSTGAME: St. Kilda

      Never in doubt!!! In Steven King’s first game at the helm of the Melbourne Football Club, the Dees outlasted Saints in a wild, momentum-swinging thriller at the MCG, running out 13-point winners.
