No we didn't. No excuse but Viney wasn't playing. He clearly makes the rest of the insipid duds walk taller.

Coached me for two years for two Premierships. One of the best blokes you'll ever meet. Would just about do anything for him. But to each their own...

He's clearly referring to the original hamstring injury.

I made that statement before Lord Travis said he saw footage that shows Jack wasn't drinking. The part I saw looked like he was in a nightclub surrounded by friends who were all drinking. Seeing this at 10pm on a Thursday night (before a main training session)...well you know...

As stated I was possibly drawing a long bow...but the fact is, he is at a club or pub with "shiny disco balls and flashy lights" as you put it. As Lord Travis said he believes he's not drinking, I was just pointing out what I saw with my own two eyes, unlike you.

Ah fair enough, I must have only caught the tail end then and not seen that footage. thanks for clearing that up.

I'm curious how you were able to decipher that there was a band playing because I couldn't hear or see a band, just people drinking and talking. I also dont know of many pubs that have disco balls attached to the ceilings...but maybe that's just the pubs I go to.. Personally doesn't worry me what players do in their spare time provided they're at their best on game day, but think it was a pretty unnecessary thing to do from Jack. Like you said, it opens him up to getting "slammed", right or wrong.

Video cut short just as he was about to moon walk.

Might be drawing a long bow, but I reckon it's a pretty safe bet that Watts has been dropped given he just posted a live video on Instagram from inside a nightclub.

Shut the doors

I know you personally and I hate you.

I have us winning only 2 from the last 4. I think we will lose to the Giants, beat the Bears and drop one of St Kilda or Collingwood. Last weeks loss was catastrophic...but that's just based on my predictions. Beat the Giants and we will lock in our spot.

Cannot believe he doesn't get spoken about in higher regard by the "experts". Each week his stats, especially contested possessions seem to just get passed over..

Mate I'm concerned that loss cost us a spot in the finals full stop.

Surely we cant win this. I feel sick.

Jetta's jaw not broken.

I'm nervous every week.

It's changed a lot since I bought my first house in Preston in 2002 - hipster central nowadays and for the most part a good area....but I'm sure you're referring to an earlier time. Best decision I ever made buying my first place there.

I lived in Preston/Reservoir for 12 years...it's more Collingwood heartland.

Don't bother trying to get anything from the Woolworths Deli in Niddrie on Grand Final Day wearing a Melbourne jumper if we are playing Essendon. Thats what I tried doing in 2000 and the chick behind the counter refused to serve me.

Being the end of the game, right or wrong, they wouldn't have even noticed him. They would have been too busy packing up their gear at the final siren to get their shite inside the rooms and off the ground.
