  1. Did they do this last year? I have this vague recollection they tried to make an Americanised style show on the AFL website at 7.30pm to showcase the big last minute trades
  2. That was a ripper thread. His talk about "landing a big fish" had a lot of us thinking of the use of a Gaff to pull one in
  3. When did fingering your mate's balloon knot become a thing? I really have no idea why it's done and why people defend it. It's not normal in any way
  4. He's a long straight leading style of forward. Would we be able to hit him on the chest anyways?
  5. He looks like he's bulked up in the glutes and is bottom heavy, just doesn't seem to be moving fluently anymore
  6. I thought he was offered another year but he declined to go home and earn much better money with a job as an engineer or something? I vaguely remember reading something about him saying he set himself the challenge to play top level and he was happy with what he achieved. I also remember the Uber Alex Georgiou Facebook page was a bit funny
  7. Thanks for that. It was a great little riddle to keep us going in an otherwise dull period!
  8. There's a fella currently moving around town finding out. Lets us know what the minimum cost is and how much you get for that. Pretty sure the answer is a lot for not that much https://www.broadsheet.com.au/melbourne/food-and-drink/article/defining-minimum-chips-maximum-mission-melbourne-enthusiast
  9. Do we have to wait 53 minutes until 7.31pm @Yokozuna?
  10. Trade radio reporting his manager just walked into the room. We'll know where he's going shortly
  11. 1. Refurbished one of my eskys to make it much more efficient 2. Learnt how to play Finska and had a lot of fun and beers playing it. 3. Booked our honeymoon to Greece for later in the year, and then later realised it's during the freaking finals. Fmd how could I stuff that up!!!
  12. Hi all, my family want to all go to the Geelong game but none of us have ever been to a game there before. Just wondering if anyone could let me know where the Dees fans usually are. Or which end (North or South) the cheer squad sit and we could go near them perhaps? Cheers
  13. He didn't fail the Freo physical with that foot did he ala Jack Trengove?
  14. Getting married on a few weeks and we're having a cheese cake. 5 wheels of cheese stacked on top of each other. Can't bloody wait to cut into it!
  15. There's a few familiar surnames in that team. Hopefully we get a few games on NITV over the summer so I can tune in
  16. Don't have enough words to describe this guy. He's a superstar on and off the field in my eyes
  17. Draw, then Pies by 1 in extra time. Sidebottom for Norm. The big Texan for 1st goal
  18. I'm still waiting for The Riddler to return with the rumour we're finally giving that rookie spot to M. Goatflaps. I seriously love this time of year
  19. Perhaps Gawn/Preuss will be the third tall behind TMac and Weid?
  20. Very much look forward to seeing our total team votes. Rarely get a player in double figures let alone near the leaderboard!
  21. Ha just in the back bar of the pub. I wanted the photo in front of the big John Belushi and gopher Caddyshack photo but the lighting over the jack dancer stick machine was brighter!
  22. The Robbie Jumper. When I was a little tacker Robbie was my hero. From birth I was given his badge and frequently told about the beauty of his game. I went to many of his games but unfortunately was too young to remember (although I do remember watching the smoothest one handed mark in an EJ Whitten Legends game years later). Growing up even though he'd retired when asked who my favourite player was "Robbie" was my answer, the legend of the man had become a part of me. Dad's mate Brian was a banker and looked after Robbie in the days when he founded Sportsco. One day he asked if Robbie could get him some jumpers for his mate's kids. Being the amazing person he was Robbie gave us all guernsey, although they were all massive adult sized ones that went down to our ankles! This blank, woolen with collar, never been worn Dees guernsey was at Mum and Dad's for 25 years until I found it in a box earlier this year. I found a fella in Fitzroy who'd recreated the VFL logo patch. I got a sew on number 2 at Buffalo Sports in my street, I redesigned the original Drake sponsor's logo and got a guy in Pakistan to make it into an embroidery file for $7 and found a local mob embroider it. Today Damien the tailor from the laundromat on Brunswick Road sewed them all on. The jumper is complete, just like Robbie's was in the 1987 finals series. Tonight I am extremely happy. Tomorrow night I will wear it to the MCG and I hope to keep on wearing it until we will win that final that escaped Robbie's grasp.
  23. So without a development league where do the fellas on our list who aren't up to scratch to play seniors at Casey play?
  24. Anyone else's vision get a little blurry when the Rev was running down the stairs? Definitely put the offcuts into a compilation as well Ash, so bloody good to watch. Thank you
  25. Hey MT64 if it's a bit hard to upload the photos on here you might find it easier to upload them all to a website like photobucket or Flickr and then post the link on here
