Happy Jack

As a Redlegs supporter for 60 years, seeing the wharfies ripped by the umps is sweet sweet music (please forgive the mixed metaphor)

The schadenfreude is strong in this one.

Turning off. Game has become a joke.

Forget who said “never interupt your enemy while he is making a mistake”

That’s the last straw for me. Off to wtch local footy next year. Would have got weeks in EDFL. Absolutely gutted by this decision of the panel.

With the Crows seemingly going to win, here’s one for the statistions. If, god fobid, we get beaten tomorrow, when is the last time the top four teams have been beaten in the one round? Come on Dees, dont make it happen!,

Coach - what’s Hardwick’s number?

As a Norwood/Melbourne supporter my whole life, I simpathise with Swans supporters because that is a typical Port Adelaide win . Play [censored] football all night but somehow conjure a win from a pile of rubbish.

Absolute joke of an award. Sydney win by 28 points against I cant remember but other mob get all three votes! Just one of many joke votes. At least those who know football know who was the standout this year.

More like a final than the open training run last night.

Didn’t think I could hate them any more than I do, that is until I saw that Ian Botham is a supporter. Mate of Chins apparently.

I’ve always thought that 50 metres is too punative, in many cases where the offence is fairly trivial, as well as being an ‘‘interpretation “ by the umpire. Now they are interpreting emotions as well. Brings to mind the story about the player in the nineties who asked the ump if he could be reported for what he was thinking. Of course not said the ump. Well, i think you’re a #$%& !

Holy cow! Don’t have a clue who my whipping boy is going to be this year given that team. If i was an opposition supporter I would poo myself.

Well i made it until tonight, then watched the first 10 minutes of AFL360 - completely disolved - wife was worried, never seen me cry before - emotional meltdown

Well, after 24 hours and lots of alcohol my thoughts; my best mate and i have watched footy here and in Adelaide for 50 years at least. We both thought we would be blubbering messes if we even witnessed a Dees premiership but at the end of the game last night we sat there stunned. We had witnessed, with out a doubt, the most insane 45 minutes of football either of us had ever seen. I still have to watch the replay a few more times for it to sink in.

And just in case we needed another omen, US Ryder Cup team (favorites) fixed up Europeans on the first day. What were they wearing? RED AND BLUE STRIPES! Dees by 30

Oliver 28 possesions 15 contested 7 tackles,Seedsman 36, Keys 29. Obviously too lazy to assess on the park, just looked at the stats after the game

Come on Port, do the right thing by us and GO THE BIFF!

First game - round 1 1983 v Collingwood. Peter Moore and Kelvin Templeton first game for Dees. Lost by 4 points, first time i had seen grown men cry at the football - Melbourne supporter near me had his hands over his eyes at the siren with tears pouring out between his fingers. Best game - elimination final v Geelong 2018 - never heard a roar like it. Worst game - 2013 late August v Freo. It was my 60th birthday and my wife had booked a box for me and 12 friends. Food and drinks supplied. Got thrashed in front of a dismal crowd on a cold overcast Melbourne arvo - as bad as it gets.

Wow, some really viscious stuff going on at Big Footy on the Brisbane page. As well as scorching the umps, lot of people jumping off the game (supposedly), fans from other clubs piling on, suggestions that Toby should habe fixed Matt Stevic up properly last week etc etc. Funniest one though was the poster who couldn’t believe they lost to a team with Scache in it. Priceless.

Gee the game has passed Marc Murphy. Didn’t watch the whole game but seemed like he got caught every time he got the ball. Limping to 300.

My very perceptive wife commented,after I whinged about our performance against bottom 4 sides “at least you don’t have to play bottom 4 sides in the finals” - clever girl.

And my wife wonders why I drink!

My instruction at half time would be “don’t give the ball to Viney” . Seriously the worst skilled in the team even when he’s got the ball in the open. Confuses ambition with ability.

Fox commentary - “north Melbourne a young side on the rise.” Well, I guess when you are stone motherless last, the only way is up.
