Surely there’s only a crack of light between him and Trac!

You don’t want to see it, but CP had his voice dubbed by some moronic-sounding “actor” armed with a script that seemed written by a drunk chimpanzee. Weirdly disrespectful, and hard to believe it got through the various channels.

Yep, it was another nothing game from him but anybody who cleans up Toby Greene automatically gets a spot in next week’s team.

On an unrelated note, that McDonald’s ad with Christian Petracca was dreadful. Did he sign off on that???

Yep, the Spargo-trashing really needs to ease up around these parts. People have been unreasonably unkind about the kid at times. He’s developing nicely and has been a big factor in some of our wins this year.

Yeah was wondering the same thing. Must be close to the club to get in the winner’s circle!

Hands down.

Anyone notice the commentators are always talking up Fritsch’s “beautiful kicking”?

At this stage I’d be happy to hang out with the Magpies drinking club.

I understand what you’re saying. I guess though, there have been too many glaring deficiencies that can’t really be put down to any kind of overload on his part. Specifically game-day decisions - poor match-ups/lack of adaptability/one-dimensional game plans. I think Roos did a lot to aid the culture too. Not sure Goodwin stepped into anything like the rabble Roos was confronted with.

Folks, we want Ross Lyon and here’s why: My eldest brother is mates with him and I can get ALL the goss and print it right here on good ol’ Demonland in a jiffy. ??

Hibberd? I don’t know about that. He’s shown us a lot this season, and I reckon he’s got one, possibly two good ones left. Former AA. We need players like that for the younger ones to look up to and learn from.

Does any team spoil their teammates’ marks more than ours?

It’s very easy to forget that Bennell has actually exceeded our expectations so far. May he continue to.

Smith over Lockhart? ?

Very well collated and presented argument. However you’re not factoring in the other 55 years. Our exceptional premiership drought is an albatross around the neck of everyone who dons the red and blue. It surely contributes considerably and negatively to the club’s psychology. How could it not?

Don’t ask Melbourne supporters this question. You’ll never get an unbiased answer. Ask all the other club’s supporters. They’ll all say “Yes”.

Ahhh, where it all began.

No big words though.

Hope we don’t make finals. We’ll be humiliated. Plus it’ll ensure Goodwin gets another year. I don’t want that, thank you.

Most wouldn’t normally be as resigned to a loss before the second half, but can anybody recall the last time Melbourne played great catch-up footy? Just doesn’t happen. We be fkd.

Dude. Really? edit: I mean I know he’s sucking but “muppet” is a bit rough.

Anybody noticed Brayshaw has a subtle physical similarity to Rod “Tilt” Carter?

It seems the majority of players have found their disposal mojo and sharpened up their kicking accuracy, whereas AvB is struggling pretty hard in this department. Too often resorting to an indiscriminate kick to a contest rather than finding the loose option.
