Well you could have been my friend WCW but you foolishly knocked back my invitation to  a classy night out at Hooters.


Don’t take this the wrong way BBO, but I’m not sure I’d wanna be seen with a nonagenarian in a 7XL red n blue Kaftan with matching red n blue crocs. 
Soz.

    Wait, do we have Hooters in Australia? I’ve only been in America. Their buffalo wings are delicious.

    You’re likely the only bloke who goes to Hooters for the buffalo wings. 😉

    Believe me Daise, the red and blue is not a problem. It’s HOW MUCH red n blue that’s the problem.

    What do people make of Hunt and Tucker of Freo straight swap? Contract on the table for a while now with Hunt, but as of yet little interest to sign. Something in the woodworks... watch this space. A few clubs taking a nibble around Hunt. Whats he worth people?

    For Hunt it's money and contract length

    We obviously have made an offer and he's looking around.

    Trade wise it's very late second to mid half third at best

    I believe Hunt is a free agent and the Hawks have shown some interest.

    He's a free agent.

    I would guess we would get a 2nd round compo pick which would be around 45ish.

    Doubt he leaves.

    Good luck to them. All the 'On The Couch' footage of A Carlton zone in shambles with defenders caught in no mans land stopped this year. I wonder why.

    Wonder how much a year out of the game at this age hurts him as well?

    Really disappointing to hear that we're set to recontract Jake Melksham. Michael Hibberd I can understand because he has been consistent with his form all year, but Melksham..?

    He's last couple of games showed that he's just past it. Other then the Carlton game he didn't much in any other games and he was incredibly poor against Sydney.

    Played as the 2nd tall forward forward so that alone has chewed games off Jacob Van Rooyen who once again justified on the weekend that he was physically ready to go.

    He's going to be 32 next year and our focus needs to be on the next wave of talent coming through like Laurie, Chandler, Bedford and Moniz-Wakefield. 

    If we can get an extra list spot to bring in another developing tall forward/ruckman then surely that makes more sense then keeping washed up 32 year old forward flanker.

     

    Melkshams done his job against Sydney, he completely just out McCartin and if not for a bad night in front of the sticks it would have been a very good game. 
     

    Melkshams number 1 job was to shut the out the oppositions best interceptor which he did incredibly well.

    To me, sarcasm implies a level of unpleasantness or even nastiness.

    I'd describe AF's post as satire.  Harmless, amusing and light-hearted.

    It beggars belief that people have got their bloomers in a bunch over it.

    And by “people” you mean me, right?

     Well DS, you won’t have to tolerate people getting their bloomers in a bunch any longer.
    WCW out.

    His role on Mccartin has been a tad overblown. Went with him in forward 50 to an extent but seemed to changeover when he got outside 50. Reasonable defensive job but a lacklustre game I thought and needed a lot more from him.

    Melksham is not the match winner in our team, he is a role player

    How am I to know you were being sarcastic, when I’ve read so many similar (and similarly ridiculous) sentiments, ie. Melksy only gets a game coz he and Goody are mates. And these comments are actually serious! Why is yours any different???

    If you've followed my posts in the past, you'll know that I think the idea of Melksham getting games (or in this case contracts) based on his alleged friendship with Goodwin, is a farcical and ridiculous proposition.

    I agree. He just didn't kick his goals, otherwise he'd have been in our best players.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast Eagles

      Saturday’s election night game in Perth between the West Coast Eagles and Melbourne represents 18th vs 15th which makes it a tough decision as to which party to favour. The Eagles have yet to break the ice under their new coach in Andrew McQualter who is the second understudy in a row to confront Demon Coach Simon Goodwin who was also winless until a fortnight ago. On that basis, many punters might be considering to go with the donkey vote but I’ve been assigned with the task of helping readers to come to a considered opinion on this matter of vital importance across the nation. It was almost a year ago that I wrote a preview here of the Demons’ away game against the Eagles (under the name William from Waalitj because it was Indigenous Round).

    • PREGAME: West Coast

      The Demons hit the road in Round 8, heading to Perth to face the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium. With momentum building, the Dees will be aiming for a third straight victory to keep their season revival on course. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
