  1. ? Yes those were the days. I also remember those ads from demon radio circa 1999
  2. I thought last week Adelaide were supposed to be a ā€œscalpā€ however we beat them so well and by so much that they looked putrid and now they’re not a team , but one out of form and riddled with injuries and we’re just still flat track bullies who haven’t beaten anyone yet If we had won by 5 goals with Adelaide in the contest up to the end the narrative on Adelaide would be different , and then conversely the magnitude of our win (almost stupidly) would have been seen as greater in the eyes of some , as it would be seen as a real scalp ! FMD , just maybe Adelaide got beaten by a better side. Let’s see how Adelaide are now a magically a ā€œtop team ā€œagain when they have a redemptive win on the weekend . Like us as supporters the media has preconceived biases towards our team , we don’t fully trust them yet , and we see the reality of the incredible stats of the past month , yet we don’t believe it , it’s something of an outlier or an anomaly , as this is simply just not Melbourne like , and the universe will surely correct itself shortly and we’ll go back to our old ways . Well that’s what I (and many others mind you) thought of Richmond last year , maybe (just maybe) we might now be finally proven wrong about our own club too
  3. Interspersed with a whole lot of Energy Australia ads booming on that old scoreboard that eventually caught on fire ?
  4. Great memories here ! had this and dynamic demons on vhs (pbly now somewhere in dads garage) ... 98 was my first season as an MFC member (was in year 10 so had one of those concession 18 memberships IIRC) so watched a lot of footy live that year remember voice of the G and the half time PlayStation challenge , sitting on those old wooden seats in the 56 Olympic stand cheering on the Ox and the wizard we clicked and got momentum at the right time of year leading into finals , same in 2000. Funnily enough we copped a few smashings towards the mid season bye round and then came good and got on a run great to think we might finally now be getting back to September again ?
  5. One week for ed Curnow
  6. No they created Malthouse as the Trojan horse to destroy Carlton
  7. Hmmmm.... essendrug are in a world of pain right now seems laughable a few months ago that media commentators like David king coined the phrase ā€œthe Tullamarine globetrottersā€ with their A+ mark trade period selections and top 4 smokeys predictions... an elite running midfield they said
  8. Benjamin??? Franklin... ?
  9. Thinking the Giants will get up in a close one tonight.... two losses in a row at home would put a bit of pressure on the cats
  10. Tom Boyd looks like Van Damme out of hard target , just add on the mo
  11. The only positive that can take out of our current situation atm is that we’re in almost exactly the same position as we were this time last year 2 -3 , in fact only difference is that we’ve finally beaten norf how we go against Essendrug on Sunday will tell us a lot , the next 4 rounds are all very gettable games , hopefully coinciding with the return of Viney and TMac
  12. Yep your right , and yet the blow out still came in the last
  13. The kicking down the line B /S was not working either , especially when our guys don’t crumb the first 2 1/2 qtrs reminded me how we played in 2014 , didn’t concede much but didn’t look like scoring
  14. Fumbling under pressure shows were not up to playing finals footy just yet having Viney at the clearances would have been nice tonight also seems the reigning premiers get a free pass from the umps to throw the ball max needs to learn to kick and lower the eyes, those floater passes inside 50 are a liability stretch supposedly has pace , but doesn’t run well done to clarry for pinging Martin , even though the umps fail to call it And Riewoldt is a hack , junk time specialist

  16. After round 23 I was lower than a chiwowa’s ball bags ... there are zero excuses for missing finals this year
  17. Looking back I curse my twenty year old self, who back then just took finals appearances every second year for granted
  18. I thought it was because they counted pet and 3 game memberships ? I haven’t been to final since the 2002 semi loss, I will be severely [censored] off if we don’t make it this year
  19. http://m.afl.com.au/news/2018-03-13/dees-confident-sore-forward-will-play-round-one A bit more reassuring to hear from goody!
  20. And shot themselves in the foot with it !
  21. Watching this game ... the Weapon and hird on the boundary line BT commentating saying that he’s met the weapon and how he’s turned Essendons fortunes around ... lol how funny BT
  22. Essendon v Melbourne rd7 2012 now on fox footy .... whatever it takes remember this game we got up in the end
  23. Firstly Welcome to the MFC Jake Lever! In the end I think we’ve been more than generous to the crows with that deal... what probably irks me though is that other clubs will play hard ball on the watts trade and we won’t get what we want the road unfortunately never goes both ways , the crows have sooked it up a bit and we’ve blinked . hopefully we will have the premier defender in our backline for the next 10 years
  24. As long as the Carlton doctor isn't involved it could be very well all reasonable
  25. Watts has far more upside from staying with us then his current trade value. If he stopped selling board shorts, and started selling a bit more candy he might have another 2016 like season next year !!!
