Gerry. Did you pay the power bills??? We just got a disconnection notice!
Hmmm ... this could be an indication that we'll be without electricity. An uncertain future for the warmth and comfort of the Whateley premises. We'll keeping checking in and see how that pans out.


Gerry, the school called today and said Delilah steals lunch money from the other kids.
Hmmmmm ... the counterpoint to this is that the other kids are probably stealing Delilah's lunch money. One might press the notion that it all evens out .... in the long run.


Dad, Marius keeps hitting me!
Hmmmm ... scenes of disharmony in the Whateley household! Let's watch in the coming days and weeks to see what unfolds.


Gerry. You big hunk of a man. Get the champagne while I slip into something more comfortable.
Hmmmm ... interesting. Let's get some talkback from the kids about this proposal.


Gerry, I'm leaving you.
Hmmmm ... shocking news for the Whateley marriage. A bombshell revelation today.
I'm serious. I want a trial separation.
One's response can only be: We'll be right back after this break.

 

 

...and that's a week when he doesn't take Communion.......

It was a thing in 1908...

I feel dumber for watching 360... slobbo and whately are the two most uninspiring commentators I’ve seen (I say this now given whately was good on abc grandstand). 

Don’t get me wrong, the production quality is there, the ‘old boys club banter’ is cleverly ignored and having Jack and Lewis on is by design refreshing. 

But there’s little analysis, zero insight and ultimately, only attempts at unearthing the next big grubby story.

Surely they get replaced next year?

 

Hate to sound trite but.. Actually no I don’t care, shut this thread down.

If I can win the double tix/airfares on his show tomorrow he’ll be anything but a moron! ?

I can only assume the 18m goal rectangle (it aint a square) is designed to stop teams pressing up so high and locking the ball in their fwd 50. ie less congestion. Beggars belief they could 'trial' this in 3 intra-club games and make a decision it was OK.

The again a Frosty barrel from 18m out could go to CHF.....

It’s just annoying how the have to completely change aesthetics of the game for one tactic, the long kick in. Would change the game for about 16 seconds. At very least some more trialing would be good.

It’s clearly a brilliant idea don’t you reckon?

No, not really. Not at all actually...

I lost track of whether you were trolling or being serious about 3 pages ago..

Would have been post of the year, but you forgot his penchant for exploring the ‘narrative’. 

 

On a separate matter......How can you work with Robbo and not suffer fools?  How can you keep nodding at Robbo, whilst he is spewing emotional brainless pub-talk?  

Like a bible-basher, cuts talkback radio simpletons off if they use a word such as ‘[censored]’; yet it is a word that Robbo would use without flinching.

I applaud his intellect and the fact that he is raising the bar.  But for god’s sake, find a suit that fits, don’t continually smile like a 6 year old receiving a chrissy present, and give Robbo more RDOs on 360.

  • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

    Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.

    It’s game day and the Demons are chasing a fourth straight win as we take on the high flying Hawks at the G. After decades of being tormented by the Hawks the Dees will be keen to extend their 7 year dominance over Hawthorn.

  • NON-MFC: Round 09

    Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
