  1. His game against Footscray in 1987 got us all going and he ran himself into the ground. His last goal had the wing cheering well before the ball went thru the sticks. Perfect angle. I have never heard a crowd cheering, chanting and just so loud as that match. When we heard Dunstan had kicked the goal the noise went up another level.
  2. Just finished shopping in Bayside and outside Woolies were five cars all with Melbourne stickers on. (Not including mine) Both yesterday and today talking to people, two said they followed Brisbane and Sydney BUT also said they used to follow Melbourne and changed. Keep winning and I'm sure they will come back from the "dark side".
  3. Would that be from the second level outside the Long Room as last weeks gentleman was enjoying a cheese platter?
  4. Just a passing mention on Gussie and that was our lot. Hopefully with JL on tonight we might, just might, get a reasonable airing. Not holding my breath. We are going to have to do a "bulldogs" and win to get fair airplay. We are coming from a long way back.
  5. Good because not one word was mentioned on AFL360. Muppets.
  6. Well done. Can we refer page 13, diagram 1 to both Channel 7 and Foxtel and ask them just where is there a "quarterback" that they often refer to in their comments. Are you listening Dwayne you nuff nuff.
  7. I had the pleasure of working with Harry in the Rialto building (before the upgrade) packing and distributing "Footy Week". A great character and a genuine good guy.
  8. Your dead right. Let's start with existing rules - like "in the back", "tripping" and "dropping (non-disposal) of the ball.
  9. A big shout out to Milkshake who's not had the easiest of years, but not once, but twice received the ball and just about on one step went bang and kicked two great goals from around fifty meters out. Impressive yesterday.
  10. We used to bring "raspberry cordial" and my thermos took exactly two bottles.
  11. Also in the members and had a St Kilda guy next to me. Good knowledge of football, but refused to acknowledge the umpires handling of Gawn, and then his nasty streak came out as we really got on top. If I got a dollar for every "F" bomb he dropped I could have bought three wines ($10:40 each). Two ladies in front were getting quite angry with his "brain fades".
  12. They should just be taught to umpire the game to the rules and not interpretations of the rules.
  13. Either AFL corruption or organised crime is playing a part in the AFL fixture (not just MFC games). Yes. They have a name and it;s called Channel 7 (from Sydney mind you).
  14. 50? Try more like 80 to 90. Head shaking stuff from him.
  15. Some observations from yesterday. Sitting on the second level outside the Long Room I could not get over the noise generated by the Dee's supporters. Was long and strong all day. Just about the biggest cheer of the day was when we finally received a free kick early in the final quarter. The club MUST challenge the umpiring dept on many of the decision that went against us today. What are we doing that wrong that 17 other teams are not getting pinged for. Really felt for big Maxy who took some of the decisions really hard. The anger/frustrations on his face were there for all to see.. Did anyone else noticed just how high the ball was being thrown in? The highest I think I have ever seen. Others around me made the same comment. Really proud of the boys today and Angus you really stood out. So accurate with his passing. Dare to dream Melbourne, dare to dream.
  16. I would not be able to contain myself. I know a couple of eagle supporters here and I thought Geelong and Hawthorn supporters were smug.
  17. Same same for me as well. If only the MCG was Bayside. I know that's selfish.
  18. We also sit in the MCC section and very few left. They only started to leave as the boys had run past us to stand by the race waiting for Jack Watts to lead them off. For 27,000+ they made quite a bit of noise during the match.
  19. Watching the same and had the same thought. Even the earlier show no comment but then it was Robert Walls who has such a dislike for Melbourne.
  20. Someone should tell Matthew Lloyd on Sunday's show. Jetta does not feature at all.
