The good ole USA. They certainly do things differently over there.

The numbers 2 and 11 were popular in our households for the generations. Lucky they were pretty safe bets. Although I remember the tears when favourites like Farmer left the club.?

Yes I agree. Met Marty at Family Day last year. Extremely personable young man. Glad he gets another chance next year.

Keeps looking to his mates the umpires for easy frees.

I will never forget reading an interview with Dustin Martin's mum some years ago where she spoke about his upbringing and childhood. He had an exercise book when he was about 8 or 9 years old and headed it, What to do to be an AFL star, or something like that, I can't remember exactly what the wording was. Anyway, in this book he wrote his training and eating routine eg footy skills training, running, push ups etc plus what was healthy to eat. Imagine the commitment of this young boy and his determination to become the champion that he is. His dedication cannot be questioned. Perhaps the recruiters should have had a look at Dusty's old exercise book before they questioned whether he was worth the risk! You can't judge a person by their appearance. True champion.

Selwood is having a sook, manhandling the player on the ground. When is he going to retire?

Gee that was Petracca like Dusty. WOW.

Amazing goal by Martin. Tigers more aggressive now.

Sorry, Who?

The needles will wear off soon.

Is that called the Dangerfield free kick rule 0.000.

That's like being invited to a State Dinner and finding out your seat in just inside the doors to the kitchen.

Welcome on board Brad. Just in time for a preseason.?

Well he ended up with the AFL equivalent of the Big Brother house this year in QLD, complete with some shenanigans and escapees for entertainment, so I think you're onto something there.

I have a bad feeling "fluid fixturing" will mean Melbourne will be shunted all over the place the way they were re: Cairns, relegated to the backwaters of footy viewing land at all sorts of weird days and times. Plus the AFL will keep the MCG free for the BIG clubs to showcase their 'brand'. Perhaps we could call ourselves the Melbourne Gypsies.?

Oh look at all the spilled milk flowing under the bridge. Let's look to the future and don't worry about things that could have happened but didn't, and we (the fans) had no control over. Why bring it up? To stick the boot in us? I'm looking forward to Trak improving even more next year and the whole team following him. Brownlow Medal and Premiership 2021 campaign already underway.? Melbourne are masters of their own destiny. Just do it!

Well done Christian. 20 votes in the Brownlow is good reward for your hard work. Hopefully next year it will be yours.

Watch out boys, here comes the Trac!!

How could the umpires not be charmed by the disarming smile of a handsome young lad like Trac? Give him the 3 votes umps!!!! Done deal. ?

Point taken. We can only hope there are a few mishaps in training before Grand Final Day. I feel for great players who don't have any. RIP Robbie etc.

If I see that stupid smirk on his face plastered all over the place if the Cats win I will want to go and live in a snow cave in the Antarctica with the penguins.?

Question: What happens if it's a drawn Grand Final?

Don't forget the Little Master.?

OMG Does Oliver own a phone? Does anyone know his phone number? Will someone please call him and ask him what he wants to do? Hello? That is what journalism used to be. Now it seems to be reporters writing about rumour and speculation. Hope next year doesn't turn into another Jesse Hogan farce, will he won't he leave, with regards to Oliver. After this [censored] of a year I am well and truly over that sort of rubbish.

Like others on here, the cynic in me questions why Collingwood wants Nev. Sincerely hope it is not that dirty word - tokenism. There. I said it. I don't trust Collingwood. I would rather have Nev stay with us.
