Meanwhile it's all going swimmingly well over on the PA boards today.... USELESS. Average performance by Melbourne. Should be smashing sides like us. Can’t remember a performance worse than Lachie Jones. Momentum killing uncontested dropped marks and fumbles galore. I have no clue how this guy has a gold pass to play every week. So ******* tired of this losers club. We already knew the main guys are losers. But so are thew new guys we brought in. So is this new leadership group we put in. So are Rozee and Butters ultimately. ******* no one wants to win. Dixon and Finlayson can [censored] off the side just because of their set shots in close games for all I care. That’s the biggest disgrace I have ever witnessed. Umpiring totally ruined that game. Melbourne didn’t kick a goal that wasn’t influenced by them. I am done. They should play the Umpires’ song after this game. When the [censored] do we get home town umpiring like the crows. What a disgrace. Umpires go * yourselfs. Mentally weak. That and a lack of forward structure have been on Ken's to do list for the last 12 years. That loss says absolutely everything about us. The same old Hinkley s**t of the past decade. Try hard, but mentally weak as [censored]. Get on top and hand over momentum instead of being ruthless. Kicking set shots like [censored]. And to cap it off ridiculous umpiring on our home ground. Another year down the drain. We lost because of bottom 6 players are trash, barely SANFL standard, and we have an ever increasing list of s**t scared guys who pretend all day long. Dixon and mcntee have no forward craft , Jones is the worst defender in out history , ratugolea is average , Evans state league player. They didnt even have May lol. Imagine our score if they did. That stupid attempt from Esava to mark the ball on the goal line looking pretty costly now. Simply a dumb footballer. I swear Gawn doesnt get away with half as much scragging against other teams as he does against us.20 more inside 50s, more scoring shots, more possession, double the marks inside 50, almost double the contested mark, more tackles...Oh we lost. Also we were gassed as * and somehow used 10 less interchanges that we had available lol.. What a disgrace.. our tall forwards are [censored] weak under pressure. Sack Hinkley. Can anyone kick a ******* goal under pressure. They are kicking them from everywhere. Every ******* week the same [censored], s**t entries, it’s like we have no gameplan. Seriously it comes down to Dicko not owning up the moment and missing easy set shots. Their Beavis and Butthead did not miss even the hard shots at goal. If we didn't make everything so **** hard our players would rely more on their natural game and instincts. We are badly coached, badly motivated and short on critical skills (and decision making). All of this is fixable, but beyond the current incumbents. I've had enough I'm going back to the Sack Hinkley page. and my personal favourite... Didn't someone at Richmond say it was their win over us that gave them the belief that they could win the whole thing in 2017?

More steel than steal.

So many beards and tattoos. The men looked even worse.

Soldo is such a dumb looking [censored].

Once North's young brigade get some bigger bodies you'll see a difference. Until then they'll have to make do with Eddie Ford's sideburns.

Me too Jaded. The people I sit with decided we won't go to another away KB game. At least until the club include the cost of a rabies shot in a tridents membership package.

Collective apathy is the only winner in that game DD.

The 5 year extension that Larkey signed last year must be feeling like a life sentence by now.

North can't take a trick. They're playing Coldplay after every goal the score.

Blues by 100 points.

Brisbane architects of their own downfall tonight.

Collingwood have been living off scraps for 2 quarters but are now outworking the Bears.

Stick it up them Brisbane.

Looks like we're going to have a shootout tonight with two teams that don't know how to defend.

LOL. Scum have started the Collingwood chant after one goal.

Agree about Bellerive. I’ve been there a few times and it’s awkward to get to and only has the one generic pub nearby. The one in Launceston looks like it’s mostly portable grandstands.

I remember that game Gator. I was still living in the UK at the time and had come back for a month long holiday so was at the G that day. I was also at the game a week later when we were beaten by over 130 points on Saturday night prime time. It's hard to believe that we're the same football club now.

It's actually quite fitting that he gets to play it against his childhood friend Ollie Wines. Let's hope we TEAR THEM A NEW ONE.

I thought so too. We're lucky to have him and they're lucky to have each other, I think.

You make some fair points there, specifically, if both current grounds are good enough for North and Hawthorn to play in them then why can't the Devils? As for the Gabba if they took out all of the silly deck chairs at one end and huge LED screen that flashes Neds betting ads on the outer wing they could fit in more people. I get the feeling that the AFL are too far down the road with this now to back out and that any state government down there could probably stall the new stadium issue without it compromising the entry date of their new team.

Yup, I enjoyed watching it. BBB is a different cat to your average AFL footballer and it's refreshing to hear something other than the regular alpha male meathead banter that you tend to get on footy podcasts like American Aces, to name just one. Hester offers a really good insight into what the life of a partner is like too.

This popped up in my youtube suggestions. It's the podcast of Melbourne supporter Broden Kelly and an interview with BBB & his wife Hester.

I’m on annual leave so have ridden the bike down for a look today. Eden Zanker was mowing the grass when I got here. BBB has gone back to the rooms but no strapping on the left knee this morning and no limp.

Hawthorn are a steaming pile of poo.
