Engorged Onion

So are you satisfied nor not? I'm confused....

Yes, good discussion from Goodwin and Co with umps - not sure he got pinged at all today... you can't call, what you can't see...

Mmmm last week I was quite drunk on beer and disappointment and demanded that we stop holding him to such high high standards... I suspect you will be right @jumbo returns

I can think of two occasions today against Essendon, whereby he went forward on one- took a mark and popped it to Trac - and then bursting through the centre and roosted it in the final qrt - can't recall who jagged a goal. When he backs himself he kicks damagingly - and presume the weight of handballs/kick ratio is due to his (as aforementioned) cleaness in tight confines - and playing his role.

Nah, just a MFCSS missive - get the win then the %

Gee - a few blow outs at the moment - % is king. Who would have thought that that Hawks and Swans were gimmes ?Wouldn't mind a 10 goal thumping of the dons tomorrow... and a win for starters...

Tell me about the 'gut' as my 'gut' is very different - what do you see that doesn't wash?

Always amazed/envious of people's memories around trading - who did we pick up instead of wines?

sense and reason... sense and reason....

i see what you did there...

Well THAT's nice to hear, I was frustrated the other night that C7 failed to show close ups of handballs that were pinged (which they do regularly) (was feeling it was a conspiracy that suited a narrative). Clayton looked so adamant each and every time when disputing the decision...

What height is Hannan? What about CP5 strutting around with his core strength at FF?

Mate, not a school kid - just a dude with a woodcutters beard , a flannel and a couple of long necks of Melbourne bitter in the wilds of Tasmania thinking about these things ? -

Unbelievable that Mitch has a premiership eh...

I guess the beauty of forums is people get to write what they want - yourself included - if you're not into it - do you need to comment, or just like TV can you flick the channel and move on.

I''ve sad for many years that Melbourne tends to employ the crap brother of any other brother circulating in the AFL/VFL, I was trying to formulate a list. Feel free to contribute. Donald Cockatoo Collins David Cockatoo Collins Luke Ottens Greg Healy (bit harsh) Troy Longmuir Damian Gaspar

I see Melks is 'named' on the wing - does a reduction in defensive positioning free him up to be more...um....useful?

Enough employment of the crap brother. We've had plenty of crap brothers...Ottens, Cockatoo-Collins(s), I remember about 10 years ago I made a list of about 10 who had fantastic brothers from other clubs, and we recruited the dud...

mmm, was rather drunk when I wrote that Bombay... and slightly significantly miffed about the loss - a more reasoned head would have said words to the effect of - he will be great, just not in the time frame that some of us are after... and his impact on games similarly I'm sure will be significant...

Current list 25/4/17 Colin Garland* Knee Season Max Gawn Hamstring 11 weeks Pat McKenna Hamstring 5-7 weeks Christian Petracca Knee Test Joel Smith Shoulder 11 weeks Tim Smith Rib/punctured lung TBC Jake Spencer Shoulder 6-7 weeks Aaron vandenBerg Heel 5-7 weeks Josh Wagner Shoulder 11 weeks Sam Weideman Corked leg Test Personally, I'd say 9 out of the 10 are either best 22 or floating 23-28. We are doing remarkably well to be a) well and truly in games and b) 2/5 at this point in time considering our 'young' list. All though there is short term pain - I for one do not doubt Goodwin's philosophy and the development of our squad from a) a list management perspective and b) a training/education perspective

Jack is still classy at times in the ruck/ruck work - look at his flick over the head tap in the lead up to Hunts goal...he is very underrated - http://www.afl.com.au/video/2017-04-24/hunt-has-tigers-covered-for-pace and although I reckon Clarry would win the B&F on the amount of possessions he gets - Watt's work ethic in these dire circumstances may fly under the radar.

There is obviously a massive difference between an attack on Christian directly and an observation re Demonlanders views on his 'break out ' game - if that's too nuanced @Wiseblood let me walk you through it

You can be a patronising [censored] @Wiseblood - I'm not worried about the loss - the game speaks volumes of were we are headed under Goodwin in a positive sense. It's the demo landers perspective of Petracca and how he should 'tear a new one ' each and every game - he won't because team defence has changed.

id like it - but more than that... here is 'composure' in a forum sense...

oh Jones over your 11 year career, you have been an outstanding player and perhaps within a better team, a genuine 'considered' super star amongst the media, can you please never ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever [censored] up, as you are human.
