  1. The fact that he is, but shouldn't be, is exactly the reason we shouldn't lock this thread. Rolling over and accepting this AFL sh*t is what will keep us irrelevant in their eyes. I'm sick of it, and we should never accept being a door mat like we were with Mac Andrew. Grow some b*lls MFC!

    Don't forget the Tony Popovic connection! So many similarities there poita. It's hard to find other Palace supporters in Aus. So glad to find someone who understands why. I surprised myself how emotional I got watching them win it, knowing their history. Standing alone, in the dark, tears on my cheeks, in front of the TV at 3am, will live with me forever. Nothing will top watching the Dees in '21, but it runs a clear second. A true grass roots club, so involved in the local community with their youth programs rather than the $$$$ driven top clubs, fills me with pride with what they have achieved. So glad they got revenge from their defeat against Man U at the G in 2022 that I attended. 😆 Defeating Liverpool on the w/e would have topped a perfect year, but it still exceeded all expectations. ❤️💙🦅
  3. 165 more possesions! Record?
  4. 165 more possesions! Record?
  5. Kentfield......oh, dear
  6. I wonder if the Casey player will need to run laps post game to keep their fitness up.
  7. It's bloody Van Roy En, not van Ruin! 😆
  8. Baldi has nominated for the mid season AFL draft. He may be a chance to be picked up by another club.
  9. Yep, Dick Telford, David Dickson, Bob Heard, Ray Shaw etc etc. A true golden era.
  10. As a teenager, I went to every Preston game in the 60's and 70's as my father was an assistant coach. They were such a strong club. It is actually sad to see what they've bcome.
  11. As impressive as Exactly! We need to temper our excitement. The Bullants are winless with a % of 41
  12. Watch it on the AFL app
  13. Optimism is better than pessimism, and that certainly is a glass half full assessment, Binman. Our last quarter last week has been our only good last quarter for the year. Lowly Richmond kicked the last 4 goals of the match againgst us, we kicked 1 goal. West Coast had their best quarter of the year, at that time, against us in the last. Only highly unusual accurate kicking (6.0) saved us being outscored by the bottom side. And the Hawks last quarter of 6.5 to our 1.1 WAS as bad as it looked. Last week was definitely an exception on the year so far. As was Fritch's competiveness and tackling in his cameo as sub. Was it the result of 'loading' by Brisbane and just a one-off by Bailey? I'm hopeful last week was the unveiling of MFC25 v.2 and it becomes the norm rather than a mirage. A strong 4 quarter performance againgst the Swans will go a long way towards having belief, rather than hope.

    Thanks Macca. It's incredible to think that getting 1 more point from the remaining 2 games will see Palace have their best Premier League finish ever. Until Sunday morning, I clutched at these results. Playing Europa will be surreal and hopefully will get Palace to be a more attractive proposition for the best players and they can become a regular top half club in the years to come. It's results at the highest level that earn overall respect. Who other than Western Bulldogs supporters know that Footscray won 9 VFA flags before their first VFL flag in '54. Palace play Wolves tomorrow at 5am and will do our best to beat then so the Hammers can climb above them. 😉 Always had a soft spot for West Ham so here's hoping. Another 5am start for the Europa next day. 🫰for Ange. Final game for us Monday morning against Liverpool, my brother and eldest sons team. 🤮. Let's hope it's another good week for the red and the blue.
