  1. I just ate the bottle of wine I finished. Fun in comparison.
  2. I would be the first person in Australia to call in sick for home schooling/work from home.
  3. Why the [censored] does this game have to be on a Thursday night when I can’t drink myself into oblivion?!
  4. He is absolutely awful.
  5. All I know is whatever sanctions are applied, to whichever club...we will be directly disadvantaged as a result.

    I’d trade at years end and try and get back into the first round. Be surprised if he get us that though. He’s second round at best right now.
  7. Zorko destroys us in every game we play.
  8. The expectation to home school on a Monday morning after 16 cans on a Sunday night is preposterous.
  9. Last quarter
  10. Surprised Salem isn’t in anyone’s votes. Bloke was excellent.
  11. Yes it is. I have sent a text to every single saints supporter in my phone asking how they feel about it.
  12. TAB just paid out on Petracca for the Brownlow and Norm Smith.

    Well sheesh if Chris Dawes has said that, then no wonder you are so confident! I was indecisive until reading this.
  14. 100%. Could not kick a drop punt if he tried.
  15. It was Anthony Hudson. Cool story though, so I’ll run with it.
  16. Viney Gawn Hibberd Hannan Salem Oliver
  17. Agree and disagree. Yes needs to play every game for the rest of the year but don’t agree he was average. Gave us a leading target and despite a slow start, hit packs and brought the ball to ground. Also had to play most of the game as our only tall target along with Gawn.
  18. If we lose this one I will refuse to see my parents, siblings and friends for at least 5 and a half more weeks. Not even joking.
  19. The team in 87/88 had the drive under Northey. Those players busted their backsides and played for each other. They were tough, hard and driven. Sadly they just lacked the overall natural talent and polish of the Carlton and Hawthorn sides of that era. We punched well above our weight, but those boys weren’t just happy to be in the comp, they wanted to win.
  20. I wouldn’t. The self indulgence would be sickening.

    I sat with my old man today, who played reserves during the late 50s golden years and he literally apologised to me, for making me follow the MFC. He is now 80 and resigned to the fact he will never see another Premiership, but is worried I will never see one in my lifetime at 44. I was resigned to the fact I probably won’t see one years ago...yet I can’t walk away from this diabolical [censored] club! I almost wish we’d just fold or relocate. My weekends are so much more enjoyable when I’m not thinking about the MFC.
  22. This is a ludicrous statement. The coach has a responsibility to teach his players the required elements to improve their skills in order to execute a game plan. If the players don’t possess those skills, then the game plan will not work. Dont tell me the players are able to execute the required skills at training and simply can’t do it on game day. That’s BS. If they can’t do it under the pressure of a game, then they can’t do it, it’s that simple. There is of course the real possibility we have brought in players with poor skills and that seems to be the case. But this is the clubs fault, overseen by the coach. While I agree Goodwin can’t kick or handball the ball for them, he is responsible for the implementation of a game plan that works and in turn teaching the players the required skills to be successful under the pressure of AFL football. edit - I will add Saty, that I do agree the players do need to take some responsibility here. I don’t COMPLETELY disagree with you.
  23. Take me back...
