In Harmes Way

Reminds me of the good old days with Trengrove and Grimes

If gorilla key forwards with a turning circle similar to a cruise ship were still in vogue, then Steven May would still have a place in our backline

I’d like to say the drip feeding of the fixture is keeping me in suspense.

But I really don’t GAF

I wonder if the AFL fixturing team (camel designed by a committee) seriously believes the wider community really cares who plays who in round 0/1 other than not playing interstate so we can actually go. This whole “grudge match” talk is totally laughable

What happens if a player kicks a ball 30m but it is touched by the man on the mark? That all of a sudden becomes a free to the kicking team?

Seems unfair.

I had a quiet chuckle at this one. Lucky we've already got a state of the art, highly accurate, goal review system we can lean on here which just about always confirms touched kicks off the boot.

And Seems unfair. Can just about guarantee this'll be a rule for life if it's likely to be unfair.

That's a very Melbourne thing to do, isn't it? Employ someone to write your posts for you.

Pointless thread or not, it’s reminded me on R U OK day to reach out to an Essendon supporting mate and check in.

And if he’s ok, then really give him [censored].

In order of "I rather burn my eyes with acid than watch them win a flag"

Collingwood
Daylight x 10
Geelong
Daylight x 5
Hawks
Daylight
Freo
Brisbane
Gold Coast
GWS
Adelaide

Who do I think will win in order from most to least likely

Geelong (kill me!) - they just love to win flags for fun
Brisbane - a few key injuries
Adelaide - suspect midfield and no finals experience
Collingwood (kill me more) - umpires can win it for them
Hawks - ordinary midfield
GWS - mental midgets
Freo - they are going to do a Freo
Gold Coast - lol they'll be out while celebrating making finals after 15 years

I like the cut of your jib Jaded.

Pretty much because I'm absolutely Dees obsessed (to the point where it's mostly my only hobby, whoops) My family members (who are Melb supporters too) have gotten sick of me talking about it so often, now this site is my outlet 🙃

Whilst a lot of posters on this forum are exactly the same, I feel obliged to point out that this isn't healthy.

I’m going to the game but I’m not going down the Monash. I’m going by train, bus, replacement bus, paddle steamer, rickshaw and penny-farthing.

I’m going because I want to but also because after their last match Luker said, “You’ll come and watch me in the final, won’t you.” How could I say No. 🥹

Can you please post a picture of you riding to the ground on a penny farthing with a giant head under your arm?

There’ll be more of us this week. Round one clashed with the men’s Hawks game which only some of us left early in order to get to Whitten Oval on time. Round two being at Casey meant some couldn’t get there because of the travel time. This week will see a great representation ❤️💙

Top of the ladder, 520%, a few more jumping on the bandwagon. Not a bad thing.

I reckon if the Crows get up over the pies, which they should, the pies then have the winner of Freo vs Suns, so can't see them going out in straight sets unfortunately. Fingers crossed though.

No, my opinion is based on our media teams noted attention to detail:

Given this was Anzac Eve, maybe it was an intentional spelling mistake

According to AI on google just now, Kade Melksham has signed on for another year.

Nice approach by the dees here - combining Jake's experience with Chandler's youth and zip. And it frees up a spot on the list.

Barring anything unforeseen (eg. injuries), the first three rounds of 2026 will see some huge milestones:

Round 1: Tmac 250 games & Salo 200 games

Round 2: Melky 250 games

Round 3: Maxy 250 games

Sounds like a celebration of my 21st all those years ago which went for about 6 weeks.

It's said that revenge is a dish best served cold and they also say that revenge is sweet.

So essentially, revenge is just like ice cream.

I’ll have two scoops of chocolate revenge in a waffle cone please

You might have mentioned this elsewhere - apologies if this comes across as a lazy question: what do you like about Buckley?

He's available - and interested, for a start.

We also need a GET STUFFED emoji.

That would wear out my mouse button.

Hopefully the umpires gift us a soft free kick right in front of goal for the blatant miss from the last game with Kossie being tripped. I’m still [censored] off about that one.

Off topic, but kind of on topic (Parking/Hawthorn theme) but Jeff Kennett's parents were die hard Melbourne supporters and he was willing to lead the club as president some years ago due to the connection.

Dodged a bullet there

Norm Smith was a Collingwood supporter as a kid

Received this message today, uncertain what to make of it

Tell ya what, got a bit of a stiffy watching ya boy Langford on Sunday. First time I’ve really watched him properly

I don't think I sent this to you, but I might have. Nah - I've been watching him properly all year.

Great idea. Should have done it earlier in the season (i.e. somewhere in the 0-5 bracket).
