I can see Morris (minor), Barrett et al......... "Shock development. Petracca fails to turn up to B&F!!!!!"

I don't answer questions.

Thank you Kate for your Service. Brad, keep the seat warm for Steve.

I think Moore is more of a Chardonnay type of bloke.

June 2056 probably

Jimmy Bartel was sticking up for us when the other 'journos' were ranting about Trac & Vines. Anyway, Vines staying till 2028. Trac back in 2025 and Oliver a full preseason. The under 23's are coming along nicely. Lots to be bullish about I would've thought. Morris & co can go suck a lemon.

Kings birthday for me. Insipid. As an aside, we lost 4 games by less than a kick. If two of those went our way we'd still be in the race. That said we are not playing no where near where we should be and would have got knocked out in an elimination final. I am pleased with the progression of some of our kids, but can we please do something about delivery into our forward line. It's been our nemesis the past 3 seasons. Oh, and when there is 1 minute left in a game and we trail by less than a kick, how about coaching the team to forget about zone structures and pick up a bloody opponent.

In reality that game should have been on Sunday arvo. Scheduling Dees v any expansion team is never going to draw many especially worse at night in the middle of the coldest winter Melbourne's had for years, so I'm informed. Mind you, that 16K was a pathetic turnout. Was expecting 20-23K to be honest. Why wasn't I there? I'm in Thailand. And it's 30C every day!

Weak as urine effort

If we could learn to not have goalless quarters, this would not be as big an issue on this forum. The umpiring is bad but we need to take responsibility for missed opportunities. I think at least 2 games this year we have lost due to goalless quarters? Almost a third against North.

Jack Trengove was the first player suspended for a tackle on Dangerfield in the goal square Punt Road end many years ago. A perfect tackle before the concussion thing was a hot topic.

Watched the game. The commentators were onto that non 50 as soon as it happened. 4 umpires and they all missed or ignored it. The Daicos non decision on incorrect disposal another. And a filth goal came from what looked like a scoop from the ground (I stand to be corrected on that but looked like a throw). All clubs are equal, but some are more equal than others. I know that paraphrase originally applied to pigs, but you could classify filth supporters as pigs except the porcine variety are more intelligent.

We aren't out, but very wobbly.

Additional to amazing that he came back on is that despite Trac's running and jumping ability being restricted, he still got good possessions in that 5 minute period. Legend. Most of the others on the list. Take note.

I predict weeping and a gnashing of teeth.

McDonald was great I thought. More then 3 words but here is another 3 word précis. WTF

It’s ok. We have Bailey Lawry.

Pathetic. Uninspiring. Weak. Gutless. Embarrassing. Ordinary. Feeble. Poor. Miserable. Sad. Wretched. Pitiful.

I think won one. Versus North in 2022 at Docklands . That was our 10th win on the trot and it was not a convincing win. After that game we lost the next two in a row.

That effort was weak as P one double five. Ben Brown. Many thanks for helping our 21 campaign, but you can't cut it in the ones anymore. Petty trade bait? Too inconsistent. Adelaide are looking. Again, many thanks for helping our 21 campaign. Billings? Started great early in the year but dropped off and butchers it consistently. Why does Goody persist. Come on fellas. How about the Rev's motto? Is it forgotten? When all is said and done, more is said than done. Season not over yet so extract the digit and make me a believer again.

Compare that swill Wednesday night to the Pies/Bombers game yesterday. Chalk and cheese, even disregarding the scoreboard. I suspect we will get smashed in the next two weeks.

I know it was versus Fitzroy but not certain if it was 1967 or 1968. I remember the old Western Stand was nearing completion. I suspect 1967? A website said it was officially opened in 1968 but I thought it used to have a sign with 'Ponsford Stand 1967' on it. Might have been officially opened by some aristocrat after it was actually finished and used. I just recall my Grand mother taking me after half time after visiting my Aunty at the Mercy Hospital and we sat in the Northern Stand in the pocket. The bloke at the gate told my grandmother if I can sneak underneath the turnstile there was no need to pay. Probably saved her 25 cents. Suspect it was '67. If I could see photos of the Stand from May 67 & April 68 that might help restore some lost brain cells to confirm which game it was. I do recall blokes meant to be working on it not working and watching the game. Melbourne 3.2 6.9 11.12 13.15 93 Sat 20-May-1967 2:20 PM Att: 17,582 Venue: M.C.G.

Reckon there might be some soft ironic boo's early on, but don't expect it to go all afternoon. He helped us win a flag. If I was 21 and offered a huge salary, I'd take it. Don't forget we have 2 first rounders coming our way. Different circumstance to $cully.
