Farewell Jesse Hogan
I disagree. Jesse never requested a trade which fits in with Melbourne's narrative. And he's too good a player to move on for the sake of it. Expect another Bryce Gibbs 2017 situation where Jesse stays, has a good year, then moves to Perth in 12 months time.

Would we take $cully back?
To us?!? Balls14 doesn't have an extensive posting history but appears to be a normal fan with no history of big noting. Scully coming back would break these servers forever.

Farewell Jesse Hogan
This is why Mahoney is prepared to pay market value for players. It creates trust between us and other teams like GWS. Will come in handy of a Kelly or Coniglio wants out down the track. All Peter Bell has ensured is that they get nothing and lose their prized asset to their arch rivals 12 months from now. Absolute idiots.

Farewell Dom Tyson
Remember how ordinary Brayshaw looked when he was played out of position? Bernie too went downhill at a rate of knots when he moved to defence. Same thing is happening to Dom. Good player made to look ordinary by the position he's playing. I get it though, he's 5th in line for a spot behind Oliver, Harmes, Viney and Brayshaw all of whom are younger. Trade him.

Farewell Jesse Hogan
Nothing to do with chasing leather around is why.

Farewell Jesse Hogan
Maybe Mahoney meant we can't afford May in terms of draft picks rather than $$$.

Farewell Jesse Hogan
There's talk of Freo trading pick 4 to Port for 8+9. That helps us.

James Frawley v Nathan Jones - ‘ultimate’ success
Win-Win-Win IMO. Hawks got a serviceable defender for free. We got Brayshaw as compensation and replaced Frawley easily through drafting and trading. Frawley himself has a flag, albeit a hollow one. But still a flag. And to be fair he could have won the Norm Smith in 15. Can't blame him for leaving, I briefly gave up watching games in 2013. If a lifelong fan can stoop to such measures, then a guy with no real emotional attachment to the club most certainly can too.

The moment you know when you’re going to win
The national anthem stance has been a thing for years. Geelong have never locked arms, and have won 3 flags from it. Nothing in it.

Post Match Discussion - Round 23
One of the most clinical displays of footy I've ever seen from our mob. I'd probably have to go back to 1998 to remember the last time we genuinely played champagne footy like today. Make no mistake - GWS ARE A GOOD SIDE. Arguably the best side in it since the bye, and we made them look like amateurs. I thought after the Sydney game that maybe Goodwin won't be our next Premiership coach, a Dean Bailey type if you will. But now I think he's more likely than unlikely. 14-8 and VERY unlucky not to win 16 or 17 with all the close losses along the way. Harmes playing like Dustin Martin, Frost playing like Alex Rance on steroids, Max doing absolutely everything right including two long chases on GWS players when the game was over. Spargo belying his stature with amazing ferocity and decision making. Lewis showing exactly why we signed him, both on field and off (see Herald Sun: email article). Having an actual Sherman tank on the fileld (vandenberg). McDonald kicking 48 in 17 games out of nowhere. Weideman playing well out of nowhere! It will hurt losing to those smarmy, arrogant wankers from Geelong, especially if it's a close encounter again. But whatever happens to here, 2018 gets a big tick. If we can wipe the smirks off Chris Scott, Selwood and Dangerfield's faces, then even better!

Round 23 Non MFC Games
No. We lose and GWS go ahead of Sydney on points. A draw and GWS will rise to 5th on %. So it's simple. GWS in Sydney or Geelong at the MCG depending on tomorrow.

Simon Goodwin Contract Extension [Aug 2018]
In these days of free agency and players nominating new clubs whenever they please, we haven't lost a single player since Goody took over. That says it all.
-
Chris Judd thinks we celebrated too hard.
Chris Judd clearly lacks any semblance of empathy if this is anything to go by. To be fair, you can't really be expected to get it if you haven't been emotionally invested in the club these past few years. Current players get it, fans get it, even a good chunk of past players get it (that Schwartz video nearly brought a tear to the eye). Judd doesn't. Whatever.

Meanwhile . . . over at the Kennel
Would you pay 6 million dollars to Cale Morton if he was guaranteed to win a GF for you? I would.

Jake Lever injury - Confirmed ACL
When was the last time a suspected ACL actually was not one? I remember Riewoldt against us last year, but don't think Jake has bone bruising. I wonder if there's any hope!

Post Match Discussion - Round 11
It doesn't seem all that fashionable to like Jordan Lewis, but I thought he was very good again today and is having another good year. He'd be fairly happy with his career move too, he chose us over 10 other clubs, and it didn't really work last year. He would be thinking flag #5 is at least a genuine possibility now.

What the Fritsch
Very common for VFL players to get drafted and become solid AFL players (eg. Hannan). But very rare for them to have such... class. Isaac Smith was probably the last one and Davey before him. Fritsch would go first round if the draft was held again.

Buying a royal blue jumper - help
UPDATE: SIZE L located, found and bought at New Balance Melbourne Central. Thanks Demonland! This thread was a Haily Mary at best but delivered the goods.

Buying a royal blue jumper - help
Looks like they have just the kids version. I'm thinking of just going for an XL from MFC and having a baggy fit until 2019. I love it that much!

L but could probably fit into an M.
