Sure was. Before 1958, she was just a gleam in Mr. Ciccone's eyes.

Thought this was going to be about Brian Cook.

At the end of the day we can never know what really happened. I guess you could say…

Life is a mystery, everyone must stand alone.

I came here for Christoph Waltz.

I left disappointed.

This is a pretty embarrassing take. You’re blaming one player for a whole club’s issues and then wrapping it in personal abuse. Footy discussion is better than this.

Known by some as ‘the pre-holiday’ period.

Throwing around words like that just shows you’ve got nothing else to offer. Stick to footy instead of cheap insults.

I’m already dreaming about knocking off Judas in the finals and eliminating Gold Coast similar to 2017 when Deledio bailed on Richmond only to lose to his former side no one expected to be good in the Prelim.

I won't address the assumptions in the above.

On a factual point: his contract was not extended. I can't find anything to the contrary. Happy to read it if you have found such evidence

Was reported he asked for more money and years in meeting with Adel and was rejected. Can't find details of the GC deal either way, but he is likely to have asked for similar

Only took him 10 years

The Con Man?

The suns got towelled up by the hawks today. Which probably makes our win over them look not so great. The consultant played well according to the stats.

You’re wasted on football analysis. You should be a doctor. Oncology is your calling.

I've refrained from any involvement in discussion on this board about Oliver and Petracca. It's not particularly helpful other than for a bit of spleen venting. However, I reckon some of the commentary about a two time B&F, 4 time AA, Club leading goalkicker, Norm Smith Medallist, Premiership player and 200 game life member is disrespectful in the extreme and reeks of scorned lover syndrome. The man made his decision after giving us, by and large, outstanding service and some of the best memories we'll ever have as Melbourne supporters. Let it go. He's moved on and so has the club. In a few years time, in 2031 most likely when the team gets together for its 10 year reunion, he'll be welcomed back with open arms as the club legend that he is, just as Josh Dunkley was on Friday night at the Bulldogs celebration. For the rest of his playing career I'll have nothing more than a passing interest in an opposition player, but I'll always be extremely grateful for his career with us.
