The man was asking to be plowed into, with a surname like that. -
I don't recall anyone saying Melk for Nathan Bock Bock Bock

Goody gave Jake a tap on the shoulder, instead of a pat on the head this week

The best way to kick off a round, aside from seeing the Dees get a win, is seeing Duckwood swearing at the umpires, moments after Geelong have lost in the dying seconds of a close match.

Meanwhile Petracca strolls forward and kicks a match defining goal and the opposition coach is cursing his assistants that his useless defenders left "the most dangerous forward on the ground" loose in the forward line

I wonder if there's another lightning fast Pickett/Davey in the 21' draft we can trade our 22' 1st round pick for that could help negate the impact a 3 tall forward line would have on rebound out of defense through speed and pressure. someone that also can take a high half fwd distributer role off Melksham and Jones who are nearing the end. @Sir Why You Little you are up on draft right? Or anyone else.. ? Edit: Or another trade target

How's Austin Bradtke affectionately known as Other, tracking these days?

Was Dogga bitten on the paw by another Dogga, while defending his Dogga at a late night leash free Dogga park?

I love the way he leaps up with those gangley arms spread out and moving up towards the ball to 'catch' it in his mitts. It's a thing of beauty... when it's in the red and blue. That pack mark he took in front of the goals, I shouted out "Ben Brown!!" And laughed as he ran back to take his long run up. It was just a funny moment where he's finally become a Demon Full Forward Taking big marks and doing what he did best against us for all these years. Very surreal.

Sydney's the team I barrack for against all the other clubs as a neutral, so last night's match was less tense for me, as i wouldnt mind so much losing to them, as i would say a Selwood, Cotchin or other flogs of the comp. They play with an admirable spirit, fierce at the contest, stable in defence. A strong will to win. They've been a highly respected club for decades. We very much share the same DNA, given Roos was so instrumental in turning the club around by laying out these foundations back in 2014 So to slowly grind out the win in a tight defensive tactical tussle, was like sipping a fine wine. What a great game, I didn't want it to end. I hope they or Brisbane can go deep in September and take out Richmond or Geelong along the way, and we can meet em again. Go Dees!

I think Hardwick is more comfortable with the familiar and the coaching duels with Chris Scott year after year have been his best challenges Hence the respect he's paying the Cats with that remark, and fair enough. But he probably deep down knows that the age profile of the other clubs rising right now, be it this year or beyond, will be what ultimately replace his era/dynasty. Until that happens, the club that has been their biggest rival will still be the best they've played, until proven otherwise.

We beat them with a sole forward that was on the trade table a few months earlier. So how many goals will Brown and Weid add in our next meeting? I say they get closer next time and if we met in finals, but it's line ball, both teams at their best.

I've always disliked Pendlebury for his off field demeanour. He strikes me as a bit of a snob, or a grump. As he's Buckley's biggest advocate and seems to be completely silent on the club's past problems, maybe Pendlebury is part of the cultural problem down there too? So on the contrary, maybe the club benefits from a fresh start without him and Buckley in the future.

Actually think this is great news. We get an opportunity to beat a Bogie side with their best 22 and a legend of the game that's feasted on us in the past, back at the G. And it raises the profile of the match.tenfold. Hilarious that some TV shows have gone with WB v Carl as a game worth spotlighting. Carlton never elevate themselves, the media have taken the bait on Carlton as a story. Meanwhile the match of the round is going under the radar with the GF rematch also hogging the spotlight. Oh well.

Sam Weidering?
It's stipulated in Melks contract that he's only to receive pats on the head, and not taps on the shoulder from Goody
Can the DL terms of service be amended to: No Racism, Xenophobia, bigotry or Discussions on how percentage is calculated
"Nothing Buckley can do..." I had to do a double take on that sentence from @godees as I thought at first it was an ingenious reworking of his name. A nickname for him and the silverware that's evaded him all these years for shafting Brisbane! Nothin' Buckley. ??
That's what I said the morning after Anzac eve celebrations.
They actually remind me of a more advanced 2018 MFC, and should look to what we did to make our defence the best in the comp for 2 months. Namely move English into defence to intercept and absorb pressure as a back half ruck, when they're battling a momentum swing and let Martin be the forward half ruck. Nankervis is the only reason we're not talking about Port as the defending champions and the team to beat. Perhaps they need to bring in Ugle Hagan, lessen the strength of their forward line to bolster defence and let him learn on the job. They will get found out eventually though in the last week's of September given they go to water defensively and can't contain big margins. Even in 2019 we were never blown off the park, the way they get beaten, they really get beaten.
Cocaine was legal back then wasn't it?
