Elusive Tunbridge

Melbourne Storm played a whole season for no premiership points. Something would have to be worked out for players who have left the club/AFL, and those who choose to walk, but that seems a reasonable penalty. The final they missed last year could be written off to their own bloody-mindedness. And Golden Boy could be traded to France for a reasonable quantity of Bordeaux. Edit: and Cotchin gets Watson's Brownlow.

That big river in Egypt is flowing through the club.

It's crazy, but I think they'll appeal. I am in blood stepped in so far that should I wade no more, Returning were as tedious as go o'er. - Macbeth.

Jeez, have to spell it out for some folk. I was just suggesting that 3183 Dee was stating the bleeding obvious - the misspellings were a broad hint that my tongue was in my cheek. You could have saved your two seconds googling.

Seriously, that's nuts. We're a way off a flag, so the older players we recruit are for maturity, commitment and as role models /mentors for younger players. Three strikes against Col, IMO.

I certainly hope you're going to sight your sauce.

Love it, Young Dee. You shot from the hip and embarrassed yourself a bit, Kennett did the same thing and showed what a headline-hunting egomaniac he really is - as if we didn't know. Of course Tommy is a legend of the game, and I agree he deserves a statue, too. Using him to diss Jimmy is just low.

Alternatively, it could be an indictment of a talented bludger.

The ad says that when the world is cold, dark and lonely, joining MFC is the second most fun thing you can do with your computer.

The membership renewal email has this unfortunate heading. Thinking about it, not as Melbourne as I used to be.

Jordie knows what he has to do and I think he'll have another year to do it. Meanwhile he'll be depth, called up when a strong tag is required. I think others will overtake him next year and that will be that, but I'd love to be wrong.

Been drinking your own bathwater so long your taste buds can't detect irony.

I guess I agree, but it will be a new experience for me to loathe a Melbourne player.

I recall some dazzling runs Sam made through half-forward, like little golden flecks in the mullock heap of his career.

Religious vilification is surely out of order, but many organised religions and their associated organisations have perpetrated, condoned and/or covered up vile behaviour. Pointing at you, Catholics, Hindus, Jews, Muslims, Salvos etc. etc. et bluddy cetera. So hh is not entirely wrong.

I'd like to get Lumumba and I'd like to trade Watts, but a straight swap isn't on.

HL plays for a club with a long, dishonourable tradition of racism - Nicky Winmar, Damien Monkhorst, Adam Goodes, Alan McAllister and on. His reaction to the graffiti is hypersensitive, but we don't know his experience at the club, nor what he's had to negotiate in reclaiming his identity as the son of his father. I'd welcome him to MFC, and anyone who wants to microwave their membership over it is welcome to.

At the very least, they're both playing Collingwood. Buckley's first impulse will be to set a high price, but in the end he may have to cut his losses. All fun, IMO.

The capitals in Not Our Sort of Chap are meant to convey ironic intent, responding to the content of the various objections to his personality. For real.

Moony, why did you lose my caps?

I think he'd respond very well to Roos and if we didn't have to pay over the odds in trade we'd gain an attacking, hard-running, long-kicking HBF. He's not Our Sort of Chap, of course.

"There is clearly something wrong with anyone who wasn't deeply offended by a Rolf Harris costume. Close thread." Must be something wrong with me, then. Anyway, the MFC PR flack has put a statement in front of them and said, "Sign this". And we check out the weather in the next teacup.

Jamar will continue until he either chooses to retire or we get a ruckman who outperforms him consistently and is capable of staying on the park.

So long as they don't dress up as Stephen Milne, I'm cool with it.
