Thanks for a highly entertaining and enjoyable career Robbo.

Not sure how that's the exact opposite. I say keeping him instead of Robbo was a wise move - you claim he makes errors but aren't too fussed that he's the captain of the club

5 goals in 36 minutes in the Arsenal match!

A very wise move to keep Junior on instead of Robbo in my view. A great servant of the MFC.

If my Auntie had balls she'd be my uncle. Losing '58 cost us winning 4 in a row - you really cannot argue that. Who knows what would have happened later. Maybe losing that one spurred us to win the next two. Losing '58 cost us four on the trot, fairly simple. And why are we delving on the negative here? That's a bloody good finals record.

It was for four in a row, not six. We won 9 straight finals against them including 4 premierships. It doesn't hurt that much. Maybe rpfc is right it should come up later, maybe he was more correct when he said Melbourne fans were self loathing.

WJ has posted that it will be on at the Dickens - a great little pub on Collins st.

Where do I sign?

I thought there was a report that Essendon had offered $2.3m

Agree with pretty much all of that T_U. Rubbish award. We always seem to struggle against subcontinent spinners. You can really see how the batsmen bat differently when they come on, seem much more tentative and almost afraid of getting out - especially on their home soil.

No, it doesn't disadvantage us in the slightest because we will not be using pick 50 anyway! I'd be delighted if we could get 27, but I find it a ridiculous notion. Why would Carlton blow out their first pick in the draft by 7 players so they can upgrade a later pick that no club wants to use in a shallow draft?

For starters my research may be a little off - but you can go check/correct for yourself. I cannot help it, I hate this team more than any other. I am Melbourne and I am Melbourne through and through, perhaps this is why I hate them so much. But if they did not exist, our team would have won a lot less. Not only have Melbourne won 6 Premiership out of 7 Grand Finals against that filthy team, but we have also recored the following: In our history, we have played Collingwood in 20 finals. We have won 16 of them. One of Collingwood's wins was in 1897 in the Round Robin - not really a final. Since 1937, Melbourne have won 14 of the 15 finals the two clubs have faced off in - including 5 grand finals. At one stage, the Dees has won 9 straight finals and at present we have won the last 5. Suck it filth.

And our women!

Grimes Seriously bloody hating the Watts hatred I've been hearing lately - not so much here but outside the internet world. Far out, he will blow our brains

Further to your point WYL, we need a place we can all meet in the city...anywhere! Anyone who has ever been to the Napier will know what I'm talking about - their light fittings are all decked out in Fitzroy colours still! If we won a premiership, we'd have no place to celebrate as a whole (apart from everywhere obviously). I'd just love a Demon pub to drink at

As always. Is this what you do in the "real" world? Your first dates must be bloody boring!

My point is why would Carlton agree to something that clearly disadvantages them.

Still don't agree. Most here don't even want to use pick 50

I'm a dog man myself.

A few on this thread could do with realising that Bell has been...CONTRACTED

We love you Jimma! We're all behind you

Not sure which feed

I'm well aware of this. Didn't say it would happen, just what I'd prefer.

Dickens, gotta love it. Just quietly, they play free to air games in Melbourne live too.

We could've rookied him instead of Healey. I did read the article. You're having a whinge that we didn't pick up "Leroy" - I'm saying you most likely didn't know who "Leroy" was last year and are now crying foul. FWIW, every club missed him last year. What does that tell you?
