I get 9 weeks a year and in that time drink as many cans as is humanly possible...but I understand what you are getting at..

This club could drag me down the Monash Freeway by the balls and then hose me down with vinegar and for some reason id still renew. Kills me but I bloody love the joint. Already endured the worst of the worst, so why would I stop now. Deep down I must get off on this [censored]. Bring it on.

I buy four memberships a year on top of an MCC membership and am also completely disheartened but would put good money on us making the 8 next year. edit - I’m not trying to make this a membership pissing contest either.

Said on 3aw before the game the game plan needs to be adapted over the summer. He actually spoke like a human during the interview, not the robot we get every post game.

Thank god for that. I’m a walking discounted New Balance apparel advertisement these days. My street cred around Eltham is safe for another 3 years.

You can’t build a players trade worth playing them in the twos...

Played as a mid for Casey out of necessity, he’s the furthest thing from an “inside” mid known to man.

When has Kennedy Harris ever been an inside mid?

Why is this a thread?

I probably will, thanks. Just give me a day of sobriety.

It’s pretty sad when you arrive at the point where you are that starved of sporting team supporting success, where you almost wish your team would just shut the doors and put you out of your misery.. I’m almost at that point with the MFC. After 43 years of ups and mostly downs, the adrenaline injection I got during finals last year turned me into a success starved junkie....now Im chasing a taste of the good stuff again... I fear I’m not going to see it again, at least in the short term. It really does ruin my weekends. I wish I didn’t care so much...

Well he has no worries going forward at the MFC then...

I didn’t even notice the umpire was female. All I knew was they seemingly had a relatively high voice and that they were absolutely shithouse. Couldve been anyone. End of the day...shithouse. edit: in all seriousness the admins might want to add the word shithouse to the censored list.

Hate is a strong word and I don’t hate many things in life, but by god I hate the Essendon Football Club. No other club compares....and to think I used to think Richmond and Collingwood came close..

Very sad for Al...a man of great integrity and football knowledge. He’s the fall guy for a club with awful administration and years of poor recruitment. Would welcome him with open arms to the Dees.

Edit: wrong threads oops

Yeah...Perhaps evolve into “Stevedamanjordan”. Keep it real for the kids as well.

That club have been raped and pillaged by opposition clubs at the hands of the AFL. I believe they have every right to ask for compensation. They were set up to fail from the start compared to GWS.

You’re a Melbourne supporter and you are questioning this? Allow me to take you back to 2009...at least they are attempting to win games.

The answer is obvious. Gawn must be traded.

Man he cops a battering on here but think there is a place for him in this side. Granted he’s out of form and possesses physical attributes that on the surface limits his ability in the modern game, however I saw enough last year to believe he can make it. Pace/size of course is his biggest limitation but I think he has the footy smarts and ingrained competitive nature to help him along. Lets keep in mind he is a 19 year old kid who was playing in a Prelim final side last year compared to a 16th position performing side this year, which hasn’t helped his development.

Preuss will play forward from here on in.

Watched him closely today and it worries me the way he jogs towards contests and doesn’t follow up after the ball has left his area. Took two marks that stood out to me today. One great mark on the wing and one that fell onto his chest unexpectedly in the forward pocket resulting in a goal. The problem for me is, he doesn’t clunk the marks in front of goal that he should take when in the right position. I haven’t given up on him yet, but for gods sake hope he learns to take those marks, stamp some authority on the game and get his set shot goal kicking rhythm back. His face looks like the weight of the world is on his shoulders...can’t help.

Good on them. I have a lot of close mates who are also Carlton supporters who have a similar outlook. They aren’t dissimilar to us in many aspects in that they have seen and experienced the worst for many years. In saying that they have also tasted the ultimate success in their (and my) lifetime so all in all they can go and get [censored]!
