Here's my favorite's from their changes thread lol

  • who gives a sh*t.
  • Can no we also get rid of that big fat bloke in charge of recruiting? Number 1 he’s crap. Number 2 fat = lazy, it sets a bad culture
  • Out: Adam Simpson, Midfield.
    In: Inanimate Carbon Rod, Witches hats.
  • Seriously, who cares? The players don’t so why should we.
    We are lost.
  • Out: Darling, OA, Gaff, Sheed
    In: Blue Wiggle, Baby giraffe, Dicky Knee, inanimate carbon rod.
  • I look forward to another 3 x possession Vardy special, again. To add to his overflowing 3 possession trophy cabinet.
  • Out - me
  • I wish Simmo was my weed dealer when I was broke in high school - the amount of tic I could have built up...
  • I can only imagine the gigantic erection Gary Lyon gets every time he thinks about the demolition job the Dees are going to perform on us.
    Surely they have him on the comms somewhere to really stick it to us. Jordy Lewis too, I'm sure he'll enjoy it after starting the rot in the '18 prelim.
  • Out me.
    In cleaning gutters, weeding garden, washing car, sex with wife on footy day.
  • Seriously who the f**k cares anymore
    The players don't so why the f**k should we ??
  • Only change I want to see is west play a full four in the midfield.
    Pathetic campaigners again showing their lack of body work and intent
  • No change, they all absolutely deserve the punsihment in front of a crowd.
    There can be no hiding.
  • It's going to be a massacre next week, Dees are towelling up the Suns as we speak. Honestly time to just put Edwards, Trew and Johnson in as well give kids a crack see if they show something at AFL level.
  • This no second Ruckman business is such a massive problem for us and I don't think the club has realised that until now. Seeing Gawn and Jackson tear it up for Melbourne today gives me the chills thinking about next week

 

I hope the players are as despondent as their supporters.

Back on their own dung heap they will be a much tougher opponent

If we are not 100% on from the beginning it could be a disappointing result

Odds for them at $3 look like overs to me

The Eagles are the ultimate home town heroes.

It will take our absolute best to win this game.

I’m worried. They are under immense pressure to perform and they’ll want to put a better performance in front of their home crowd for fear of copping the booing.

Just for perspective . . . 33 years for four premierships.

If we are a serious top 4 side we should account for them easily. They are not even a top 8 side but then again we got done by the crows and the filth so toss your coins in the air.

Thinking about the Eagles copping the full brunt of an Optus Stadium booing should be extra motivation for our boys to do a proper job on them.  Would be a real highlight of our season if we could make that happen.

In the early nineties I recorded a match between Eagles and Dees in Perth.

I was surprised to see a woman in the front row breast feeding an infant. Talk about mother’s milk.

They’re serious about their football.

I saw that. Pretty sure it wasnt was an infant?

Adding the ‘Ph’ to Fat and the dollar sign to Scully makes him sound less like a recruiter and more like a gangster rapper! ?

They've won 2 of their last 5 home games, including to North.

They are cooked. Good teams smack them - average make them seem a threat - crap teams are their points. 
 

Loathe the supporters, I will be going nuts and most likely drunk with a fair chance of a sickie Tuesday.

i get the sentiment as they’re below us and coming off a bad loss. but since when is playing the Eagles in Perth a “ danger game”?  they lift in front of their crowd and the eagles this season, at their best at home, can match it and more  w anyone. coming off such a publicised crappy loss i’m thinking a win fr us will be a big achievement. i’d more label this game  a big ladder shaping contest , critical fr both sides and on a par with the geelong game round 23. 

They lost to North at home a few weeks ago and Essendon a month or so before that. Geelong and Swans both absolutely belted them this year. Not to mention Collingwood last week. We generally play well in Perth in recent years besides the 2018 PF. I'll be pretty surprised and very annoyed if we drop this one.

Back when there was 6-8 teams and you could (in the early early days) have the right to challenge a GF winner to a rematch if you lost as the reigning premiere.

There was also a little thing called WW2 in the midst of that!

Same here. I actually met a bloke on a contiki tour 6 years back who is first cousins with one of the 2018 GF players.

He is actually incredibly level headed and gets good mail! He said that in the 2018 prelim, we looked scared and that certain members of our midfield wouldn't shut up and kept chirping the entire time.

HARVEY WALLBANGER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Absent: Salem, Windsor (word is a foot rash going around), Viney, Bowey and Kentfield Train ons: Roy George, no Culley today. Firstly the bad news - McVee went down late, which does look like a bad hammy - towards the end of match sim, as he kicked the ball. Had to

Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
