In Harmes Way

It would be just like Dom to play his hidden immunity idol and get a seat on the bench.

I hope they ping the Hawks for blocking the man on the mark, which they do far more than anybody else. More specifically, I hope the hawks get pinged more than everybody else and this sooking bites them in the arse.

When I think haute cuisine, Chunk is the very next thing that comes to mind

Looks perfect, not a breath of wind, rain or snow. With it being a replacement game, and no snow in the hills, there’s no reason not to go really.

It’s still funny

Just watched the replay of the first qtr, which I’d missed on the day. the two suns players trying to take the ball from each other and then getting pinged for holding the ball was the funniest thing I’ve seen in years. Even Melbourne in 2013 weren’t that bad.

Only thing that would please me more than another win by the same margin again would be proving their medicos to be the liars that they are.

Just had mother’s day lunch with the wife’s family. The brother in law (Tigers supporter) was sweating the Kangaroos making a game of it - the fall off was very Melbourne. I wasn’t sympathetic.

I reckon the umps miss about 40 free kicks our way every week. And about three the other way. i reckon it’s more because the umpires are elitist.

Oh - one more. Maxy Gawn - for a bloke who is 8 ft, your skills in picking up ground balls under pressure beneath your knees is the best I have seen. You are a dead set gun.

Clarrie - Bluey, Chas, Norm

I managed to watch the last three quarters. TMac - you are the surest shot for goal we’ve had since Neita. Magic. Hoges - mammoth last quarter. Trac, bit quiet mate, but what you did was good. Dommy - normally a fan but you went missing tonight. Not sure that was good timing with Viney going to take somebody’s place. Lewis - best game you’ve played for us. SUPER composed. Clarrie - you are my favourite by s street. Jeffy, Hunty - gees I want you both back in form and in the side, but I can’t see anybody giving you a chance. Great win dees. Time for another scotch.

We’ve got Macdonalds restaurants all over Melbourne Rod. You must have access to some pretty spectacular natural landscapes instead??

Interesting that the article values the Viney father/son higher than RDB Snr and Ron.

I thought this had been bumped cos were playing the Saints and it was time to relive the Mac Weller weak as [censored] fend off!

Loved the slo mo video. It’s exactly how I view my own abilities when I’m having a kick at half time at the G in the car park with my boy. then I snap out of it when I have to chase the footy down the hill

How about snail? Esss - spar - go?

Or go back to the old days a la soccer, whereby when you come off the ground, you can’t go back on. Have 6-8 on the bench.

Massive congrats to Charlie. Give them hell.

I like this stat this weekend our 1s and 2s kicked over 300 points

To be fair to Beetle, I’ve got a mate working at AFL Media and he was quite certain that Hogan was going to be the story of last years’ trade period. that said, I’m glad it didn’t work out and he’s still with us and firing on all cylinders. this was an interesting article however https://www.theroar.com.au/2018/03/13/melbourne-trade-jesse-hogan-2018/

Agree with all pleading patience. I think OMac, whilst still a work in progress, is a demonstration of our club investing in young KP player development and that rewards are forthcoming (perhaps slower than desired, but in line with our teams tilt for a flag). Weids has been more of a slow burn with injuries, but there's been a few games where he's shown that it's worth the continued investment in him.

Don’t disagree SWYL, I’m just tarred with the MFCSS brush. Good points raised on recruiting strategies - I remember on 2015 draft night looking at Clarrys highlight reel thinking WTF?? I now implicitly trust the recruiting team (agree we did well with the Lever trade, got what we needed quickly), and the current playing group also appear settled and focussed. No reason why we can’t get more aggressive (carefully)

As long as we don't go one step forward four steps backwards by paying overs for a 29 year old and then we lose TMac, Petracca, Hogan and Oliver because they get [censored] off at the pay disparity. We'd be the first club to have 22 superstars in it and fit under the salary cap.
