old demon me!!!

Yea i understand that and your right but she's 33 and has been with us from the start, i really hope she can get back it will be hard missing the first flag

Really bad luck for Mel bloody horrible ,we are going to miss her   

BLOODY WRAPPED !!!! with this news about time ,never go back to white again .

Great game Gus stoked for him and us  

Just like arguing about religion or politics the argument will just go around in circles,you have your opinion i have mine and really dont care enough to go on about it....agree to disagree,each to their own and so on.

I wont be booing or turning off the TV or spew up but have fun which ever way you go.     

WOW amazing how many people on here have never made mistakes in their life,hats off to you .

I think the only mistake Hird made was trusting the wrong people ( Dank ) just as the players trusted the club, i dont believe they tried to cheat the system, just get as close to the line as you can,which you can do legally .

They just had a weak dog (Dank) running the show,who has never said a word , Hird made a mistake he has paid a huge price as have the players ... time to let it go .

Happy for him to present the medal and hope there is no booing not a good thing for the player who wins it either just to hear booing .

Gotta be a team who can say "anywhere, anytime''

This stretch was a massive challenge. I genuinely thought that we could lose all 4 of them. 

We came out 3/1. Last night was where we fell in a heap which was semi expected. Pick our selves up and go again next week.

Sick of the excuses.

Agree with this, hopefully we learn from this.

The boys just ran out of gas.   

Happy for the lad and trust the FD

Just being bored I was thinking about our over all play in games and how many quarters we have won so far this year,so i put together a ladder on quarters won by everyone to see what the ladder would look like ... yes i am bored    so i gave 1 point for each Q won,none if the Q was drawn and 1 point if you won the game.

So before last nights game 48Q have been played we have won 30 and lost 18,we have won 7 games so that gives us 37 pts and % would be the same so the ladder would like this...

Ade    42 pts             compared to the real  ladder          Ade   36 pts

P.A     40                                                                         GWS  36

Melb 37                                                                          P.A     28   

Geel 32                                                                         Melb   28

Ess  31                                                                         Rich    28

Show me a game where Lewis has turned it?  And he hasn't shown leadership nor set an example by potting someone behind play and missing 3 games which we lost and could easily have won 2 if he'd been available.  That's leadership?

What are you saying ? you pot him saying he does nothing then say we would have won if we had him play,you have a foot in both camps or in your mouth.  

I think we will win this one , think Cox might play to try and stretch us fwd / ruck, need to win the midfield battle and hit them hard ....GO DEE'S

You are kidding me! Does a really stupid thing ( suspended) then goes out and wastes away at a festival having a smoke???

If I were Goodwin I would give him another week on top of his supension to really wake him up!  His father is sick?? So waste away?? Christ ,My old man died in really tragic circumstances but I never whinged or made excuses, which comprimised myself, family or sporting teams at the time!!

Looks and is very poor!

WOW !!! , sorry about your Dad but you are unbelievable you gotta joking right? wasting away !!! he was at a music festival !!! so what if he had a smoke at least he wasnt doing anything else which would have been there, oh he probably had a drink too again so what !! 

You dont know how bad his dad is and it would be very stressful, he is human and family comes first and its better than keeping it bottled up or else you can turn bitter and twisted and he hasnt compromised anything, he has let his hair down a little bit, so what !!! you dont know how much pressure he has on him over his dad for all we know that could have been a factor in his striking offence, just because you can put your emotion aside does not mean others can.

What a  bunch of prima donners we are,who bloody cares if he has a smoke he would still be fitter than most of us and thats being generous.

Also what kind of people get a thrill out of taking photos of an AFL player having a dart.

kent* missed two crucial goals

Kent played well in his first game and he wasn't alone in the missing goals department, always prefer him having a shot on the run though.

There were sometimes that they should have just thrown the ball on the boot sooner.

We played at a manic pace and it caught up in the 4th Q were still young but you can see what our game plan is and it will improve over the season.

Gawn going down did not help but it gave Watts a game he can be proud of , one or his best , i think Max was an angry man yesterday for some reason even before he had the little fun and games with Selwood ,he was making mistakes and giving away a few frees just out of being [censored] off it really affected his game,whatever it was and we couldn't get a goal and they couldn't miss !!! pulling them put their arse .

There is allegedly some rule that the sports "organisation" known as the AFL have in place, whereby a concussed player cannot play or train until  they have fully recovered. And this bloke had "severe" concussion. Which would make it equal to or worse than Brayshaw's or Lumumba's.

Because the head is sacrosanct, you see. Except for when it isn't.

They must have passed medicals and we still dont know if Rowe will play yet,could be a late change.

In the end if they play or not it does not affect us and our players will be back when we face them again.

Putting aside the cause of the injuries... Why is them playing making people assume they are non exsistant? If Viney got hit in the face with a baseball bat he would probably still front up the next week... why are you all so conserned that the carlton blokes have fronted up? Dusty is playing for Richmond as well. 

Yes i agree its over now and i dont give a [censored] what Carlton are doing,we won and lost a couple of players .... [censored] happens.

Bring on the cats  

We will smash em today,cant wait we OWE THEM BIG TIME.

We're going to have to play Spencer at some time during the year. We can't go through a whole season without him having some game time if we expect to play finals. Imagine him having not played at all and then needing to be called up for a final because Gawn is unavailable. Whether this week is the right week, I don't know. But if there is any doubt about Gawn's fitness maybe he should play and Watts be required to play (for this week only) as a permanent tall defender.

I hope i am wrong but i have the feeling that Gawn wont play this week, probably just have MFC supporter syndrome.

Still think we will win and win well.    

Pumped for the game, will have a good win today and start the season on the right note.
