We know McVee can do that job, moving him onto Bolton would have shown us nothing. Now Goody knows Howes is a long way off it and Howes know what he needs to do to play on a player like Bolton. Who by the way is one of the hardest match up going. This is what practice games are for.

 

Your assuming we tried to lock them down

Last year we put McVee on Dusty in the practice match. It seemed to show him what’s required .

This year we gave Howes the unenviable assignment on the brilliant Bolton.

wouldnt it be great if history repeated itself!

We all should respect a guy who has been so generous to the club we love for so long.

He really deserves more than a building at Casey named after his family

Absolute rubbish Jack. 

 I hate being so wrong and absolutely ignorant. Sorry.

I’m hungry for any news about the MFC, but now I never go to the club official website, since there’s never anything interesting or up to date on it.

Stan wasn’t the bravest player to pull on a Dees jumper.

Bloody Hammers robbed again!

Dubious penalty to Sheffield in the 103rd minute!! Latest goal in EPL history! ( to make it a draw....seconds later, similar incident at the other end....no penalty.

Moyes not amused!

Hammers remind me of the Demons so much.

Hammers remarkably inconsistent.   0-5 v. Fulham, then beat Wolves 3-0  last night!  (with a Euro win in between)

Liverpool next....easy!

The media pander to Collingwood fans in order to maximise ratings and readership.

If May had done exactly the same to De Goey, he would have been heavily criticised, with pressure on the tribunal to give him 6 weeks.

Ted gave Darren Millane a   decent head-knock.

I’m worried about us chasing.

Wicket taking spin. Maharaj and Shamsi are pretty  good.

Glenn Maxwell's classic double hundred reminds me of the 2 Australians who both scored 200's in test cricket but never scored another century!

It's actually happened 7 times with Reginald Foster (way back when) scoring a massive 287 but never reached 3 fugures any other time

So who are the 2 Aussies?  We're working on an honour system here so googling is not allowed!!

I just googled R E  ("Tip") Foster.

That 287 in 1903 was his first test!  It was the highest Test score till 1930 (when Sandham, then the Don, scored triples.)

287 remained the highest score on the SCG till Michael Clarke's triple century.

Foster captained England in cricket and soccer.

I wonder if his nickname, "Tip" came because of his profession......he was a stockbroker.  He died aged 36 of diabetes.

It's an interesting dilemma  for  its management.

I presume Ratings are important, but the reason the station is so hard to listen to is all the advertising. I don't count them, but sometimes I think  there must be  about  ten ads between discussion segments.

Obviously their  revenue must  depend  largely on advertising,but they just couldn't have more than they do now.

If the ratings are low, they can' t charge the advertisers more than they  do now.

I occasionally ask a friend  "did you hear  that interview on SEN". Invariably, they"ll reply...I just can't listen to that station  because of all the ads!"

No goal in nearly 3 quarters of footy in perfect conditions?

Oh dear...

5 quarters since a goal.

I’m at Ikon. It’s no fun here.

Hodgey! No more centuries after his double v. S Africa

Recorded and now watching from 7-112 (Maxwell could have been out 3 times in the last 10 minutes!)

Did listen to the broadcast throughout the night and fell asleep (again) when we needed 60 off 60 (or thereabouts) 

The innings is certainly one for the ages and high praise indeed from Sachin Tendulkar, describing the knock as the best he's seen at ODI level

 

Edit:  Just finished watching 'The Innings' ... truly amazing and when considering that his whole body was cramping, quite incredible!! I've never seen anything like it although there are parallels with the late Dean Jones' double century in Madras in 1986

Glenn Maxwell take a bow!

Interesting that Maxi and Deano both made 201, and both were out on their feet during their innings in stifling conditions.

I recorded it from 7/91 and went to bed, disgusted.  I watched it in the morning not knowing the result. Very exciting, but  I  expected Maxwell to go out next ball the whole innings, since he  was playing such risky shots.

The end came so amazingly quickly!

Future AA defender in the making, big men take time remember..

Bit of perspective thanks! 

Apparently Brendan McCartney thought he was a potential AA defender.

I always thought he was under-rated by most Dee supporters.

Tall defenders are often the "whipping boy." Remember Alistair Nicholson?....he had a lot of detractors.

The classic was Kevin Walsh at Essendon. Their supporters game him real grief.

It was surprising that Omac was the best golfer in the club. The guy had unrecognised hand-eye co-ordination, that's for sure.

I wonder if Mark Neeld consulted “Coach Nick”.

What I find hard to digest is that that violent miscreant actually won them the premiership. If he hadn’t pole-axed Gus, we probably would have won the flag.

A bit like ‘58….violence wins.

I hope their chooks turn into emus and kick their dunny doors down.

On this day, 19 September, 1987, an even worse result than last Friday ~

Thanks for these old clips, WJ.

Are you aware that John Kennedy’s “goal”in Q4 hit the post.

As you can see on the film of the match, the goal umpire was momentarily unsighted by the pack of players above him. He then looked up to see the ball on the goal side of the post.

Jimmy Stynes tried to tell him it was a point, but of course he took no notice.

That would have put, us through to the GF to play Carlton, whom we beat three times in 1988, including in the finals.

 

I mentioned this in another thread, but it's more relevant in this one.

In round 18, 2018 , we were leading Geelong at Geelong by less than a goal with about a minute remaining.

The ball was in our forward pocket, and Max Gawn sustained a tiny split on the lip from (another, unpenalised), headhigh tackle.

I don't know if a Geelong player dobbed him in , or one of the umps noticed that there was a tiny blood speck on his lip.

  He was ordered off the ground.

Tom McDonald ran up from the backline to  compete in the ruck.  Geelong won a clearance, and the ball went to Touhy in our undermanned backline,35m from goal when the siren went. He goaled, we lost, and  at the end of the season we missed the top 4 by one game.

I think it was that game where Dangerfield cheated early on by quietly telling the ump he'd be rucking in their forward pocket,  so our guys didn't hear it.  They tried to block him, he got the free, and the goal, then winked smugly at Hawkins.

The moral?......don't be a good sport to Geelong, Clarrie!   (or Collingwood, for god's sake)

I don't like his haircut, either.

Perhaps Moore does it for him?

I agree with  recent posters.It  is a nauseating article in the HeraldSun today.
