The Jackson FIX

Paddy Ryder anyone? I genuinely thought he was voluntarily retiring but that might not be the case. Obvious risk with his age and body but if you got 1 season and 15 games out of him… clearly on strategy for Goodwin’s game plan and would come a lot cheaper than Grundy…

the boys will be happy - entrecôte bookings sorted for another 2 years! 🥩 🤜

I dunno about this idea… it’s the players’ thing and I believe they do it if they keep the opposition below 60 points. Would love to see it once in the crowd with 2 minutes left in a grand final we’re about to win but I feel if we see it done 5 times a week in the crowd it kinda cheapens a concept they clearly bond around.

Maybe a muffled ‘booo-urns’ followed by a quick sip of beer and then get on with it

Barham backed himself into a corner by listing the want for an ‘experienced’ coach as justification for the truck sacking. If you’re ever having a bad day, just remember it could be worse, you could be an essendon supporter. They’re being run like a 3rd world country.

What the f has been Paul Roos been doing there the last few years? He’s quietly slunk into the background this yr

All duck no dinner after the injury

COYD

I was pushing my kid in a pram one day with a Melbourne jacket on and I here someone scream at the top of their voice “CARN THE MIGHTY DEES”. Turned around and it was Archie Thompson riding his bike. Didn’t know he was a Dee. Makes sense now.

That’ll catch up with him

I love him too much to talk about a price. I don’t want him to go. I’m prepared to improve the weather in Melbourne for him if that is what it takes.

They haven’t changed materially anywhere, Dees we’re into 1.96 with Sportsbet this morning. Harmes being named to sit on Neale isn’t going to shift the market - odds can often change as teams are announced because that’s when the markets only start to become liquid (just the bookies’ guess before that).

Soul glo grease marks from a seedy mullet?

Isn’t it because Junction Oval is too small?

Freed from something dire

Clearly this is all a genius strategy from Goody to divert the conversation away from Dogga so he can now focus exclusively on kicking 4 in a winning GF. Bravo Simon.

Using a few assumptions, he would’ve earned the equivalent of 1,692,900 Qantas frequent flyer points over the course of his playing career… surely they give him the chance to crack the 2 million? Cruel.

Aside from the septic-tank having a day out, how did Collingwood get us last time? My anger and IPA-consumption conveniently blocked the game from memory.

Poorly researched article. Nowhere does it mention the lure of Lambys Tavern.

The only regional club really (GC is double the population) which only adds to the appeal for ageing types like Smith, Cameron, Danger, Dalhaus for whom sea/tree change later in career is appealing. The thing it doesn’t mention is the post-career appeal of living in a fanatical one-team town/area… Frank costa used to open a lot of doors for players who went out to stud

My favourite was the bit about ‘nicking’ possessions from Sidebottom and Pendlebury

And he replied?! Replied to a supporter from an opposition club poking him on a deal he just did?

The only people commenting on it are flogmantle nuffies and e-grade journos who are desperate for things to write about.

6. Viney 5. Fritzl 4. Trac 3. Gus 2. Sparrow 1. Melk (for ripping the Freo jumper away from that Flogmantle supporter down the race)

Just logging on an I may have (likely to have) missed many a comment about this but can someone please f*^%^* tell Gawn to change his ridiculous set shot routine?! It is the stupidest thing I’ve seen in a long time.
