Uncle Fester

What is this we business, white man?

I can't say I'm that fussed. If he goes we will do well out of it. If he stays we will do well out of it. I have (for the first time in a very long time) faith in the people running the club.

We are a top 4 side. If you had have told me that in 2013 we'd be up there with the big boys in 5 years, I would have laughed in your face.

I'm enjoying telling them that it should have been a free

I don't know what I feel. I really don't. I go from calm and relaxed to worried and nervous in a couple of minutes and back again. But win or lose we are a top 4 side (or better), and I don't see that changing for many years. Most of our best are still kids, and will only get better.

I'll try that again. When the page crashes pick the sports box, then afl. Then you'll see it and it works.

Got to the page, and then go to AFL. Then it works. It's a great write up. Roosy is one of ours.

Melb - Coll GF record 6-1. Now get the [censored] off our ground.

I drink VB. Dress like a slob. Work a manual job. Swear every second word enough to make a sailor blush. All that and more. I'm one of the biggest yobbos you'll ever meet. But I'm still the better man for being an MFC supporter and member.

The thought of Richmond winning another flag does the same to me.

Don't mind that result. GWS would have been smashed by Richmond. I can at least see Collingwood hitting as hard as they get.

So I'm starting to pace. Nervous and confident at the same time. I hate those bastards. I'd be happy just ending their dream even if we don't get any further.

Looks wanky to me

Whatever happens now and in the future, he is one of the guys that we should always look back on as those that dragged us out of the mud. Thanks Bernie. You did us proud.

Worth a rookie pick - may come good... may drop off the earth, but as a flip of the coin I think it is worth it.

I'm all in favour of sacrificing a virgin before a game to appease the football gods, but it's 2018. It's not like there are any left.

I cried. 12 years of hell. Of being the butt of jokes. Of being pitied and laughed at all at once. Yeah, I cried. What happens next will either be [censored] or gold, but, for the first time in a long time they didn't break my heart when something that mattered was on the line.

I don't usually post after a loss because I don't want to say something I'll regret (not a hard and fast rule though) but I thought your post deserved a response, and I'll try to do it with kindness, because I do hear you. I watched Fitzroy destroy us by 190 pts. I watched us get heartbroken in 87 then destroyed in 88. I saw Essendon come back from (I think) 48 pts when we had won the first 5 games of the year. I watched craps sides (St Kilda aside) hold up the cup. I've seen us with talent to burn, and then burn that talent. I've seen more false dawns than you've had breakfasts. I was 5 years old before I saw our first win, and that was going to the G to watch them maybe 8-10 times a year. I've been burnt, scolded, chopped up, [censored] up, cut, smashed, stabbed, humiliated, and had my heart broken a million times by this club. But I keep coming back. Why do I do that? Because I was born with red and blue blood pumping through my veins into my MFC heart. I was Checker telling the boys to play like Demons. I was Barassi holding up yet another cup. I was Big Jim running over the mark. I was Smith at the Gabba. I was Yze stealing the game from Adelaide... Schwartz doing another knee... Flower sublimely taking on 3 opponents and making them look stupid... Gawn missing a sealer... Simmonds being pole-axed.... Froggy leaving his man to win a GF. I am all those things, and more. Because I am Melbourne. That's why I come back again and again. Because I know no other way, and would rather be in agony supporting my side when they finish last than support any other side that won the flag. I have no choice, but even if I did I'd still be here. Because I have faith. Faith that one day all of this will be repaid in spades.

What the [censored]????????????? Can I once... just once... see my club stand up when it matters. Once? Is that too hard to ask?

Wins. maybe. % no chance. This isn't round 5

That's the crux and always has been. [censored] the rest. We are either good enough or we are not.

Frost is being touted (within the players at the club) as the guy to stop Buddy. He's not going anywhere. Vince has already said he'd be happy playing out his days at Casey, if that is what the club wanted. The rest I'll leave to the more astute watchers.

Time flies... Thanks Bernie. Now go create some father / sons for us.

The way they have been playing I'd be surprised if they didn't turn up to game drunk.

Missed Saty... "I was chatting to [insert big name here] at training the other day, and what they told me proves you wrong." And Prodee: "You are wrong, and yes, I am very comfortable in my arrogance." Not to forget WYL "I've given this club $80 million dollars and they need to get harder! No more excuses! I blame Schwab!' Maybe those last 3 can be add on apps for the dedicated.
