  1. You're usually pretty circumspect when it comes to the Dees, Tony. This prediction surprises me.
  2. When have I questioned our last 8 years ?
  3. Choosing the beginning of the AFL era is about as nonanomalous as it gets.
  4. Which year suits you best ?
  5. Their recruiting since Taylor joined has been very good, not perfect, but pretty exceptional. As CEO Peter Jackson got the club back on track. But in the AFL era we'd have to be close to the AFL's biggest basket case. We really have been a joke. The following win/loss percentage sums up how deplorable we've been. Thank goodness for Gold Coast. Since the beginning of the AFL era in 1990. Geelong 63.51% Collingwood 54.80% Hawthorn 54.48% Port Adelaide 54.34% West Coast 54.33% Sydney 53.55% Essendon 51.75% Adelaide 51.22% Western Bulldogs 50.06% North Melbourne 48.69% St Kilda 48.05% Brisbane 47.33% Greater Western Sydney 46.51% Richmond 46.00% Fremantle 45.33% Carlton 44.96% Melbourne 44.14% Gold Coast 29.51%
  6. How on earth is the paper at fault when Pickett is continually ''liking'' posts that link him to another club ? Are there more delusional supporters on the planet than Melbourne's ? Some blame everyone but the club or players when things go awry. It's a really strange dynamic. I get supporting the club, but I don't get completely being blind to common sense. Then there are others who don't think the club can do anything right. Are there any normal Melbourne supporters out there ???
  7. Because I corrected a post that asserted he averaged 25 disposals and was poor for ''his standards''. Both assertions were wrong. It's not hard to work out if you read the post.
  8. Firstly, you're stating the bleeding obvious as to why he performed the way he did. Secondly, I didn't criticise Oliver. I simply stated facts. He was fat and horrible and he'd agree. Yes, I didn't provide any explanation, because one wasn't required. We all know why he was bordering on awful. The fractured thumb was the biggest reason of all.
  9. I suppose I should expand, because a couple of posters don't appear to understand my reply. My comment was sans excuses. Firstly, I corrected the notion that Oliver averaged 25 disposals, he didn't, he averaged 23. Maybe facts don't count. And secondly, it wasn't a year that required lauding in any way. Oliver was fat, couldn't tackle, and just threw the ball on his boot at every opportunity. All round, it was a horrible year by his, or any gun's standards. Now, if you want me to come up with excuses for such a year I'm sure could oblige equally as well as you. But that wasn't the purpose of my post. Excuses for Oliver have been done to death and I didn't see the need to add to the pile.
  10. It's totally irrational for Melbourne supporters being concerned by Hird giving advice with regards to the search for a CEO. People seem to lose their mind when it comes to football clubs.
  11. He averaged 23. And it was a poor year by any gun mids standards, not just his.
  12. Strange, but true.
  13. I think it's more that no-one calls him ''Ollie". Although it wasn't hard to know who you meant.
  14. No, just running. Mainly with Reece Conca.
