Fatman Blues

Off to a luncheon where Daisy Pearce is one of the Guest speakers ( with Ling, Del Santo and Brown). Only one or two brown cordials but mainly water. Then back to the office - change out of suit into Red and Blue clobber (with red and blue shoes) - then to the 'G Enjoy a couple of nice brown cordials before the game And then lose the voice cheering hard for the mighty Dees It was great speaking with mates last Saturday morning sounding like Joe Cocker - I'm looking for an encore performance Go Deeeeeeezzzzzzzzzzzz

Thanks Bernie - we wouldn't be where we are today without you - a great servant who showed our current generation what is required to be a top notch AFL player rather than a run of the mill AFL player Hope you stay on at the club in some capacity

Apologies if this has been written elsewhere Only two teams haven't beaten a side in the top eight (as at the end of Round 20) - Carlton and Melbourne. Bizarre fact - we have yet to play Swans, Eagles and Giants. Our last three games - Swans, Eagles and Giants Weird..................

Oops Channel Nine - got that one wrong - The Dees won by 24 points back in 2015 - best on ground that day included Gawn and Brayshaw - I feel a repeat coming on Go Dees

As entertainment goes - maybe a pass - like basketball, all scoring no defence As football goes - below a pass The commentary by Taylor et al - a MASSIVE failure - what a turn off The AFL's reaction - absolute success (but behind closed doors will be mortified at what was produced) The presses reaction - absolute success (but behind the AFL's back - most journo will say a failure) The players/coaches - like obedient children will say absolute success (with their fingers crossed)

Why do we need a leadership group greater than three players? Why not just a captain, a vice captain and a deputy vice captain ( or in the current environment dual captains and a deputy vice captain) On field leaders will lead naturally - Vince, Lewis, Hogan, Gawn etc A quick check of the google machine shows our 2015 leadership team consisted of Nathan Jones, Lynden Dunn, Jack Grimes, Daniel Cross, Chris Dawes and Heriter Lumumba. Only one who is still at the club. In 2013 we had a leadership group of nine players and we won two games

Yes - I'd forgotten - beautiful Taking a friend to the Nth Melb game - I'll get her to pay for the beers The $209 is a straight donation - and for a worthy cause

Extremely interesting and one would suggest extremely rare to have such a variance Lets assume Hurley and Oliver each got 5 votes from one coach, then they got one vote from the other coach. This means Watts got 3 and 3 from the respective coaches. TMac gets four from one coach and CP5 four from the other coach Tyson two from one coach and Viney two from the other Both coaches clearly saw the games best on ground different to each other

Just increased the numbers by two - a full mcc/mfc premium membership with a complimentary junior membership Young Sam has an exciting period in front of him and can't wait to see the Dees in action this year Go Demons!!!!!!!

I'm not the smartest bloke and I'm the first to admit that. The Bont was taken pick four in the 2013 draft and CP5 pick two in the 2014 draft Well, that's what I am reading in wikipedia Luckily, none of you are journalists - or maybe you should be

Same and agree - was awesome - will never forget the excitement

From the AFL website Melbourne veteran Chris Dawes has attracted interest from rival clubs and still has something to offer http://www.afl.com.au/news/2016-10-03/stats-a-bargain-top-trade-targets-by-the-numbers

Luke is a ripping young man - but only playing ammo football - did his knee last year - he is about 21 years of age. Maybe 22 years of age

Choke - use your mince pies to read, then use you north and south and say the words out loud - by then your tram and train will have kicked in and you'll understand what has been written. If not, i think you are cattle truck and will never understand (said in jest) Drinking brown cordial helps (and just to confuse brown cordial is not rhyming slang) And drinking too much brown cordial may make you jan juc - if you do, best to be in the don't be funny - and try not to Con Britt at the same time - could be messy

Agree - it's all above the Gregory Peck. If the players have their Billy Goggin's screwed on properly, then a rusty tin will occur
