Is this a question or a statement?😃

Gee it's hard to get the message to you, I didn't say he should get any particular time, I just said that the norm is 3 years and that's PROBABLY what he will get. If you really want to have an argument just go outside and yet at the moon, then when you don't get an answer yell again. But leave me out of your conversation.

No you haven't, 3 years is about the norm, so you don't have to be Einstein to figure that out. I don't agree on anything, I just expect, for reasons stated, that it will be 3 years.

Neither are you, most would get a 3 year extension, more would be unusual. Why the aggro?

During the finals he got hit in the back of the head by Selwood and hit in the side of the head by Bont, both players seemingly apologised to him. They wouldn't have if they thought he was faking, they both knew that they had hit him and it was an instantaneous apology.

As a matter of interest, you mentioned Chandler and said you had a bit of a look at him too, what were your thoughts, I watched that game and thought he was just a bee's away from getting a bit of the ball.

So what you're saying is his 57th win was our first premiership in 57 years? Sign him up for life, anyone that can win a flag for the Dees, deserves to leave when he wants to.

I wonder if supporters at other clubs have watched the replay of their side winning the GF as many times as the majority on here have? I watched it again yesterday and there's always something you see that you haven't noticed before.

Sliding doors, Saints take Tracc instead of McCartin and we take Parish instead of Clarrie. Clarrie said in an interview recently he was pretty sure he was going to the Bombers.

I love watching the semi where we absolutely creamed the cats, and one thing both this and the GF have in common is the shell shocked look on the opposition faces, they were in awe of us.

Waking down the bay the other day and a kid ran past me with a demons hat on, too quick to give him the Go Dees, but he ran past me when he was going back and this time I did and he gave the Go Dees back and had the biggest smile on his face. It was a look of pure joy and I'm so glad that our young supporters are able to smile about their team and not just live in hope like most of us have.

I'm pretty sure Junior had glandular fever a couple of years in to his career at Melbourne and had a couple of years where he wasn't playing great football.

And yet, in cricket if a bowler gets 4 wickets in a row it's counted as a double hat trick

Hoping someone can help me, I'm looking for some photos of Christian Salem from the GF and I just can't find any. Maybe I'm just not looking in the right spot and maybe someone can point me in the right direction. It can be a single shot, or a shot with a group where he features prominently. Thanks in advance.

Just got it home, will see if I can get it hung shortly

The framer sent me a text telling he'd finished with the framing of my Max Pic and I could come and get it, got there and they'd closed for the day, Monday it is then. I've got the perfect spot for it and you won't be able to miss it when you walk through the front door. I'm just watching the replay now, and the moment after Max kicked the goal and Jack picked him up has to be the most memorable of the final; series. I love the GF but this game has a special place in my heart.

Can you tell me where you found it, I'd like to get it as a back up.

Norf are rebuilding and I don't think that BBB was in their calculations for the rebuild I think they wanted to get a player that was coming in to his prime when they were through the rebuild, not finished at the same time as it was completed. I must confess I wasn't a big fan of his and thought he threw our forward line out when he first started playing with us, as it turns out I was wrong. When he was initially dropped, I quietly said to myself, told you so. Yes well....

I've done the same as you, I was rather annoyed when I got the Victory Pack and when I played the GF the lines on the ground were shimmering and distorted. I got 4 packs that cost me over $600n and not only is the picture poor, the umpires voices are muffled like they are in a tunnel. I've got the Blue Ray copies but haven't seen them yet because they were delivered to my son.

I thought exactly the same thing as you.

I think Dustan's got tools but hasn't been shown how to use them, when you're in a side that's not interested in you it can be difficult to shine, maybe if he's given a role and sticks to its he'll do ok. All I'm saying is don't get too excited, in my opinion, he's behind quite a few and whilst he will never work his way to the top he will get a game if there are injuries. Jack Viney should take him under his wing and show him how to win the ball at stoppages and stick a tackle, and Harmsy should give him a few tips on how to tag a player and still win then ball. Williams can teach him to kick and preferably to a teammate. I've seen him did some good things and some bad thinks, when he has to kick the ball in to the forward line he seems to freeze and kicks a grubber or to no one. At Melbourne you are either in or out, you don't half tackle you hit them with all you can, you don't throw a half hearted arm at them. That's Melbourne of old.

You can do just that, but I'd suggest that you watch a couple of his games before you form any opinion. I've watched 6 in the last week and only the ones where he got a lot of possessions so I could get a good picture of him. He had some good patches in several games but nothing sustainable over a full game. There seems to be a disconnect between him and his team mates. I certainly hope I'm wrong but from what I've seen he's behind a lot of players at our club.

Well I've watched a half dozen of his games from last year and I don't know quite where to start, but I will say that there didn't seem to be a great connection between Luke and the other Saints players. There were many times he would be alone calling for the ball and they would ignore him and kick it long down the line to a big contest. Or they would handball to another player who was under the pump who would in turn get rid of it to another equally under pressure, etc.etc. Some of there games I've watched have been appalling and the level of football smarts virtually non existent. But he was never the focal point even though he was metres from any opponent and seemed to be the best option. Luke played predominantly as a tagger and I felt he was a little loose and lost his player as soon as the ball was bounced. He was generally the third tackler in a contest, so the player had been tackled and he just joined in. He doesn't lay tackles like the good taggers. He gets a bit of the ball but does zero damage with his possessions, there are some exceptions but not many. He's certainly not hard at the ball or opposition player. His handball is not bad but his kicking is a bit off. This could be part of the pressure he's been under at the Saints, I'm not saying he plays bruise free football but he he doesn't throw himself around. It just seems to me he drifts through games and doesn't play the brand of football we play.

You are aware that people are still dying, aren't you.

Hotel Quarantine. There are two main types in Victoria, those that love Andrews, (Public Servants, School Teachers, Fire Fighters, Ambos and CFMEU) and the other main group, those that hate him, like me. I can't see much point in arguing with you as you obviously belong in the first group so we will never agree. Andrews effed up Hotel Quarantine and we, the lowly citizens of Victoria, paid the price. What happened is, to me, is as clear as crystal but it isn't to you. That was the biggest problem we faced and the cause of our lockdowns and many deaths. Just as a matter of interest, how do you arrive at the bolded, how can you blame the Feds and exonerate the cause of the Hotel Quarantine stuff up.
