In Harmes Way

Based on the above, I think somebody should issue a warning that the upcoming off-season has nothing to do with the quality of jokes. It feels like you were all getting in early. PS - did anybody train?

To be fair, Hunter played his part in our flag triumph.

In spite of OMAC and Sam Frost

I’d think that if we had a 6x AA ruck playing against a ruckman with 1 arm; Oliver should have been trying to make space so we could win a game defining clearance.

This is a great idea. Winner gets greater probability of #1 draft pick through lottery/similar to avoid tanking. Not a fan of the og proposal. I don’t think it’s fair to have 7-10 placed teams play potentially 2 additional games to a top 4 prelim final opponent.

That’s definitely a stretch

Except that you'd want to sub him on 10 minutes into the first quarter.

Love this. Especially remove the insufficient intent rule. F’ng joke. Either go back to the way it was and throw it in (my preference), or be like soccer and the opposition gets the ball every time it goes out.

Because Optus Stadium is our fortress* * Ignoring WCE result this year

At least there's a good test for the dees in each of these last 6 games. If we do make the 8, we'll be hardened and ready to go.

As much as I don't like umpire 22, I thank the lord he's no Dean Margetts.

I figured Disco made contact with the head on the follow through after being tripped, therefore outside his control, and the action which initiated the free kick.

Loved how he flip flopped between Essendon controlling the game through possession to over possessing the ball, with them playing exactly the same footy

Watching and getting frustrated by Ben Mackay mark everything behind the ball gave me a solid understanding of how all oppo fans must feel watching Gawny week after week.

No, you’re not at the ground?

binny - did he say "I'm really pumped" or "we'll be pumped". Asking for my footy tipping.

I resemble that remark

Few of those on here

What a load of [censored]. There's lots of reasons why people might not financially support the club, especially these days, but it doesn't mean they don't love the dees any less. I myself see my family's financial memberships as a charity contribution (esp. over the 2010's decade and my paid up wife rarely ever comes). Does that make my fam. any less of a supporter? Does anyone who doesn't get down to watch training any less of a supporter? If you don't get to every single Melbourne based game, home or away, does that make you any less of a supporter?

Despite the article suggesting that in game decision making isn't affected, I've been of the opinion that this actually has been the case for some time. I've seen multiple instances where the umpire has paid a very late free kick and I've said to my boy "that one he missed has come down from upstairs". That said, I haven't been unhappy with any of these perceived third party decisions (I think we've generally been on the receiving end).

Clarry to HFF playing under the tree?

Low percentage means the games are close. Theoretically.

I can't look at that photo without the Metallica song playing in my head.
