It is a stinker.

Feels like we are sitting in Seat 1A but are still being served the economy meal.

Gee that brings back a memory.  Unprompted I got upgraded to Business Class on a flight from MEL to SYD.  By the way the attendant threw my meal at me I think they might have upgraded the wrong Mr Jontee.

PS: I think a Wednesday night game is a stinker.

Great photos of Clarry.....not a dogs player in sight....

But as they mentioned when you kick 12 in a row in a Granny it’s hard to be critical.!!

It should have been 13.....

I will never forget Cameron saying he didn't rate Eddie Betts

Yeah right, do we currently have any vacancies......

How about the bagpipes?  If that doesnt scare off the opposition nothing will.

Yesterday

Son : Your premiership mugs have arrived

Me : I didnt order any mugs

Son : You must have

No : you must have

Son : why did you order 3

No : I didnt order any and why would I order 3?

Son : You must have

etc etc

Today

Me : Did you sort out those mugs

Son : What mugs

The moral of this story is probably not to do online shopping in a state of drunken euphoria.

What amazes me is there are so many posts and features on a player, when from 2 months out from the draft, was never going to be available to the MFC.

Where is the 20 page thread on say Daicos?

Febey.  Without a doubt.  Even though I think his twin was better!

Agree.  And from all reports was nicer too.

BPs team had much unrealized potential.

Interesting that Brian Cook played 4 games for us in 1977, couldn’t have been much of a player.lol!!

I wonder if he is in past players association......

Running Russell Richards. So F$$king exciting.

Absolutely, though he did have a 'Touch of Frost'

Having a Jacob on the list got me researching.  Came across Graeme Jacobs, when as a kid I liked to pronounce it Jak Obs. I remember in 64 listening to the radio, 2 big guns up forward, Jacobs and Bourke. Jacobs wore # 20.  So here is a list of all the players since 64 who have worn that number.

Graeme Jacobs

Paul Rowlands

Laurie Queay

Shane McSperrin

Paul Hurst - premiership with Carlton

Brian Cook - yes it is him

Graeme Gaunt

Russell Richards - Rhino

Mathew Febey

Troy Broadbridge - great matchup for Hird. RIP

Colin Garland

Corey Maynard

Adam Tomlinson

It is a very even contest but who is the best since 64.  I will go Febey/Garland/Tomlinson

Thoughts?

It seems that every footy writer has just discovered the word "frank" and has to use it as often as possible.

If I can be frank, I haven't heard it before; well I have heard of frankfurts, not sure that counts....

I never regret ordering a hamburger ☺️🍔

I do.  The meat patties are now so large you cant get it into your mouth and they just taste of cheap meat

If the rival recruiters thought our draftees were that good, how come no-one selected them (especially Howes) earlier than what we did?

I must admit I do cringe when I hear 'We didnt think a quality pick like this would be available so late in the draft'.

and think of this what if scenario...

Say every other club has a different choice for Nos 1 player including MFC who thinks it is JVR. And say all the other clubs agree the 2nd best player  is JVR. So in an uncompromised draft the Dees have pick 18 and pick JVR.

So the agreed 2nd best player in the draft goes to the  Dees at pick 18 ( I know, we think it mazing)

The humidity in Cairns is pickling my brain.

Gee we like basketballers - international mature age recruit?

his wife indicated some disappointment that he wasn’t included in the GF side.

Well I hope so.  If your partner doesnt stick up for you, who will.

I was disappointed that he didnt play in the GF but not at the selection decision.

I just re watched the ANZAC game against the Tigers.  Excellent game of wet weather footy.  Lucky Bolton missed some sitters.

It was great to see Jonesy out there flying the flag for Max and Kossie.  He had a grin from ear to ear after the argy bargy.

Most enjoyable. Over the festive season why not give this one another look.  Recommended.

Luv ya Jonesy.  Does anyone know what his intentions are next year - coaching, VFL, ammos????

While we're at it, I thought Oliver's handball to Sparrow could have been a bit flatter.

And more importantly should Sparrow have given it back

Not sure where to put this, so here is as good as anywhere.

A question to anyone who has seen more of our new draftees than their highlights tape - how good are each boy's kicking skills on the Frost - Salem scale (Frost being 1 and Salem being 10)?

I must admit  I am impressed with your scale.  We could make a killing out of this.  How about a scale for moral fibre (De Goey being 0 and Stynes being 10),  I am sure there could be many more.

Waste of an opportunity. But they could still do it now

Cant they just do a pre - order and when they get to a profitable quantity turn on the tap?

No doubt the marketing department wants to produce Furphy beer rather than MFC beer.

Do you miss it?

We have cut right back until the  Xmas celebrations start.  Noticed I have got a tad cranky.

Daw is not a genuine ruckman.

Perhaps not, but like LJ, what you want them to do is compete in the contest.

As an aside, I thought Daw was a curious drafting decision due to his age, ability and past injuries.  Perhaps they wanted a familiar face for when Mac Andrew arrived.  Still, would have won us some brownie points at AFL HQ.
