In Harmes Way

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.

What we do here is conclude that the hopeless coach doesn’t know what he’s doing and the player must have compromising photos of said coach. Don’t you know that’s the only logical conclusion?

Do you want to buy some?

As in the “kiss your arse good” bye?

Echo all praise, he’s a legend.

when we build our new facility, it should definitely be named after him.

There is the West and East Mac’s, Alice in middle.

 

would depend what time you arrive on the Saturday if West Macs a viable option ( you could spend many days exploring them, a full day would just include some of the highlights)

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

Given all the great interviews you’ve scored over the recent past, I half expect to log int this thread and see you’ve lined up the great RDB! 

Looking forward to listening in fellas

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

Just watched the replay of the first half after watching the second half yesterday. Two things - I really loved the way we regularly switched play rather than dumping it long down the wing. Gee, we looked dangerous every time we did this.

second - I counted about 85 throws from the Saints, not one of them was picked up. I swear the umpires must have felt sorry for them. Gees it was frustrating.

Yep, he was pushed, clearly, and fell backwards (try doing that yourself without being pushed). He didn't wave his arms around seeking a free kick, the umpire was right there and blew the whistle straight away. Should be encumbent on the umpire to explain why he erroneously immediately gave a free kick, rather than Jesse have to explain his actions.

Didn't see a certain game we lost by 186?

The 1988 grannie is the winner of the worst game for the last 60 yrs.

This afternoon was as far away from a bad game as you will see.

Trying to work out who will make way for Captain Courageous next week.  Thought we had a good even team effort this week.

God I hate that word when describing a player. 

Umpires on the other hand....

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!

Give Jeffy a chance on a dry, fast deck against a relatively slow defence and then judge him.

i reckon he’ll carve them up.

Don't have a go at him, I thought it was hilarious, a stream of conciousness, without the need for paragraphs

Yeah - I was looking for @La Dee-vina Comedia to pass judgement on the style of prose to bring further frivolity.

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

I was more confident that Essendon would be crap than I am the Saints. I fear we’ll give them a sniff and they’ll lift.

I still think we will get the job done, but I don’t think it will be a % booster.

Waiting on @picket fence to inform us what Spargo's nickname will be.

Hopefully its a lot better than Choo Choo.

How about snail?

I hear Tracs dog is good in close.

Conor McKenna has set the precedent now Chook.

trac’s dog will get 3 weeks. We’d better bring him in for a “must win”

Did wonders for Hannan - and to a lesser extent Hunt.

Too many here see getting sent to Casey as a punishment and step backwards, rather than an opportunity.

The fact that Jack Watts is the only player I can recall who dropped himself to Casey for a week suggests to me that not many players would share this view.

All depends which Melb turn up mate and how were coached. Not getting my hopes up that’s for sure as it always leads to disappointment 

Yep. I look forward to the day I can be an arrogant [censored] supporter like Richmond’s, banking wins before games.
