POSTGAME: GRAND FINAL vs Western Bulldogs
I think the comment by Taylor that Melbourne are drowning in goals, is right up there with bang etc. Mind you it may have been a repeat of another time, another game.

Weid Hits the Ground Running
He has to really dominate at Casey, not just 3 goals a week he needs to kick 4 or 5 and on good days kick 6 or 7, he has to show he's too good for Casey. He has to displace someone and that will be hard, but if he kicks goals consistently, they won't be able to ignore him. Tmac will have to be more consistent if that's the case. He's got a tank, I recall one game he played in when Jesse was still with us and he was second on the ground to Jesse in ground covered at half time.

Weid Hits the Ground Running
Personally I hope he makes it, he's got the talent all he needs is confidence. Time after time he gets his hands to the ball but just can't hold them, if he clunks a few it may all come together.

Finally got my stuff today, I thought it would be and I'd just arrived home to see it being thrown over the front gate.

POSTGAME: GRAND FINAL vs Western Bulldogs
I'm trying to watch the GC game for the second time and I'm at three quarter time right now, I doubt I can watch the rest of the game like last time. It's like watching an under 12 side trying to play against an AFL side, they are just terrible.

Saturday Morning on Demonland (12)Â
Like a lot of others I've had a pretty bad year and winning the flag has lifted my spirits in some of my darker moments. When I get down I throw on the replay and I can't help but smile as it goes on Merry Christmas to you all, I know we can be a bit testy at times but we are all united behind the Dees

Welcome to Demonland: Jacob Van Rooyen
I have a few South Africans working for me and the correct way of pronouncing his name in SA is "Fun Royen" Strange but it seems as if the Van becomes Fun.

Even though it's Christmas, I'm not expecting miracles. One for the year is enough.

Just got an email from the club, finally acknowledging that I had ordered stuff from them and telling me that the status of my order had changed and was now shipped. However it also stated that it had no tracking number as yet. I can feel that it's getting closer and I may have it before Christmas

POSTGAME: GRAND FINAL vs Western Bulldogs
Does Libba think it's his job to remonstrate every time a Melbourne player tackles a Dogs player? Is he the faux tough guy that has to push any opposition player that has fairly brought a teammate of his to the ground. Perhaps if he spent more time getting in to position and less time pushing and shoving he might have been more effective. Jack just gets on with it he cops a wack and just gets up and plays on.

POSTGAME: GRAND FINAL vs Western Bulldogs
I had a VHS tape of my family's first overseas holiday to Hawaii, I had to lug around this huge camera that held a full size VHS tape, it was something i treasured. Anyway, I had a few of my friends around to watch the football and without me knowing one of these mental giants decided to slip a tape to record the other game being played, guess which one he used.😢

Flying the flag
I can see it, I'm not sure what I've done wrong

I know it's all over but this was too good to miss.

Is Melbourne's midfield one of the best of all time?
https://www.footywire.com/afl/footy/ft_player_compare?playerStatus1=A&tid1=12&playerStatus2=A&tid2=8&type=A&pid1=3820&pid2=3486&fid1=C&fid2=C Interesting comparison between JV and Libba. Over the course of the journey, so far they are pretty evenly matched and JV is a couple of years younger. I know that stats don't give you the complete picture but I think people on here tend to undersell Jack. In his last Junior game, a Grand Final, he was BOG in a beaten side and his teammate T Greene was second best on ground.

I just checked my order and it says "Reorder", what is that supposed to mean? If I select Reorder it says which item but it doesn't give you an option to show which ones and I don't want to order them again. Maybe I should just ask them to change the date to 2022 and get in early for next year?

Just remind her how much you've saved by us not winning a flag for 57 years.

Who I'd like to see us target
If I remember correctly the two SA clubs warned GC that he would return to SA if they selected him. I think they said they would just take him back when his contract expired. Maybe they were correct and he just won't play outside his State.

Is Melbourne's midfield one of the best of all time?
It is hard to compare, I remember the great Polly Farmer who had a huge leap and could handball as far as most could kick, but was he as fit as they are today, I doubt it.

Rivers hates losing a contest and even though it doesn't happen often you can see it in his reaction. Sparrow can be anything, he's one of my favourites, courage and strength galore. Rivers is 20 and Sparrow is 21, they play like they've been in the system for 5 or 6 years. I used to feel sorry for good players that got drafted by Melbourne because we'd wreck their careers, now I feel sorry for them because we have so many good players they struggle to get a game, look at who we have on the sidelines. Jordon is an example. very good but had so many games as medical sub. How do you fit Hunt, Tomlinson and Melksham and Smith in?
