Fritta and Turner

Dunstan in for Clarrie if required.

Rivers for Bowey and Chandler for Beford/Spargo.

JVR looks the goods.

I don’t think he’s Un Australian. I don’t even know what it means to be ‘Un Australian’. Does that mean he doesn’t have an egg on his burger,

If you are talking burgers, un australian is no beetroot.

Well we were still in the game in the early stages of the last quarter.

I thought our mid field played 'well' but couldnt clear it as they got caught or dispossed.  This required other players to shepherd, protect or block for the ball carrier, which they didnt do as they had run fwd to receive.  Geelongs passion and ferocity caught us out.

Chandler must be close.

on past form he will have to kick 6 with 30+ possessions to be even considered as an emergency

Beaten at the clearances, badly.

Our forward system remains a total enigma. Our forwards rarely lead, lots of kicking to stationary targets, our small and mid forwards nowhere near their best. A lot of our forward play totally staggers me. I know Goody rarely swings the axe but Bedford, Kozzie, Sparrow and ANB must be close to losing their places.

 

and Spargo.....

6. Viney

5.  Oliver

4. Brayshaw

3. Petty

2.  Petracca

1.  Um er er um Langdon

We were run ragged.  Mid field over run.  Talls ineffective.

Need our lesser lights to get the ball....

May a shocker

Weagles dont have a first or future first pick to trade......

Nervous, nervous, Dees by 7 points.

Bemoan the fact that Tomlinson/Garland/Ryan Ferguson/Seecamp/Some other bit part defender wasn't in to take care of the gorilla forwards..

A touch harsh on Seecamp.  James Hird hated playing on him.  I remember he matched up with Dermie in one of those Whitten charity games.  Dermie couldnt get a kick.

5 goals against very weak opposition means jacks... though.

And how many did melky kick against jacks?

Chandler would be bonkers not to request a trade

I decided to play a drinking game one week.  Every time a poster said the umpiring is corrupt or there is a conspiracy against us I had to take a shot.

Ended up at the Alfred

Same here, but it was the Alfred Bottle Shop as i had run out of supplies by quarter time.

I know it has already been said but Chandler with 5 goals and a bucket of possessions doesnt even make it as an emergency

Hope jacko and Gawn are fully fit....

Agree, the word culture is talked about a lot with this and surely that comes from the top. 

The club can create a supportive environment but the players set the culture.

Melbourne Kicks a goal : Lady in the cheer squad has a big head 🙂

Player drafted using future picks kicks winning goal : The club will regret this

Player drafted using future picks misses kicking winning goal : I told you so

Melbourne wins : Would have won by more if we had a permanent home base in the MCG precinct

Player X has a quiet game : Definitely leaving at seasons end

If you are replying to the reply of a reply of a reply of a reply of a reply ......of a reply give me a break and do not use the word 'He'.  Use the effing players name and no obscure nick names please.

I remember when we failed to take Jack Darling all those years back because he was rumoured to be a bit rough around the edges and took Lucas Cook instead still haunts me. Sometimes you have to rely on your coaching fraternity to sort those behaviour issues out but then again we may have lacked that finesse at the time!!

Every other club passed on JD too.  He went at pick 26 and would have been a disaster at the Dees.

I know I often bring things back to me and it annoys some, but when I was a cop, treating a crook fairly and not being too 'Baptist' with chastisement after a physical confrontation was often commented upon by the crook, especially the older ones, the words that come back to me are 'You new guys are making it hard to hate you'.

Crikey, Clarrie picking up Tex does lead to some interesting places.

As a young fella I avoided the police and kept out of their eye.  Not hard as i was no trouble.  Recently my stepson had an absolute episode and came to the attention of the police. And the courts.  Can I just say that what was a difficult time for the family ended well.  The police were fantastic.

That is harsh.  Stanley does have a headband.

Are we really turning into geelongites. This whole Walker thingamejingles is a joke. Wouldn't [censored] in his ear if his brain was on fire.

I would but I would drink kerosine first

Whilst it agree with my sense of sportsmanship and fair play I still remember Justin Madden getting traded from the Dons because he was seen smiling hours after a loss.

How the times have changed.

Still Tracc and Clarries ability allows them to do what they like.
