  1. I"m only humble because I know how much it pisses my mates off.
  2. Oliver is the best player in my lifetime watching Melbourne. Sorry Robbie.
  3. The thing I love most besides watching it. It adds to to our perceived invincibility. Other teams must be wondering how do you stop that machine. We are at a point where I am not in the least concerned about us drinking our own bath water.
  4. I have a mate who is an AFL umpire and I gave him a gentle ribbing and said the dees would have won more than 15 straight if it wasn't for the umpires. He opened up about it and said their training hours have been halved for them They can no longer train in Carlton which had the appropriate facilities and they need to train at Marvel where they are not allowed on the turf and are made to just stay on the Astro outside the boundary line. I'm often critical of the umpires but they have to make split second decisions, unlike the MRP who have the opportunity to watch as many replays as they want but are still inconsistent. From what I understand there a number of umpires retiring at the end of the year and the AFL is panicking and hence bought in you can't throw up your arms rule if you disagree with a free kick. Pretending they care.
  5. Twilight Grand final looks like being announced today. I'm a traditionalist and like the Saturday afternoon. But I must say we have never lost a Twilight GF and nobody else has ever won one.
  6. I tried to multi bet the top 8 into each other and the TAB wouldn't let me. Said it was related. It's not like betting on Fritch kicking 6 into Melbourne winning. It seems seperate to me.
  7. Goodwin 6 votes - we are not even trying yet. We are not even showing our hand. I can't wait for the finals at the G this year.
  8. Does anyone reckon that bloke who snuck into Perth for the GF is going today? He won't have to go to jail this time.
  9. I went to my cousin's birthday not long after the bridge incident and when Majak walked in he was the most popular bloke in the room. I wish him well.
  10. I am Neil Daniher. His legacy will be the cure.
  11. Thanks for such a considered response. The reason I bought up Bernie Vince is because he bought in and his family bought in. I've never read anything about Lamumba's family coming to watch our games while he was playing. Lamumba seems to me a culture killer. I hate Buckley but agree if you are going to drop recordings do them in full. Don't just cut them to suit yourself
  12. I normally agree with everything you post @Engorged Onion but I disagree on this. Lamumba wasn't playing with a system stacked against him He played as a crowd favourite at Collingwood HE came to Melbourne and we embraced him. Can anyone imagine Bernie Vince getting up on the best and fairest night and declaring he was a prince. It simply wouldn't happen
  13. Brayshaw. Pundits keep saying Angus might go to Freo to play with his brother. What about the opposite?
  14. A brilliant footballer on his day and a bit different. Melbourne, particularly under Max embrace individuals who are a bit different. We have a great culture of bringing indigenous players on. Thanks to nev and the wrecker We don't want people though in our organisation who always think they are the victim.
  15. I doubt we will belt them. We are just keeping our powder dry like we did last year. I'll bet anybody we win the the semi or prelim by more than we beat west coast or North in the next 2 weeks. No need to show our hand.
  16. We tag them all, not in a traditional way. It's just a team tag on everyone. Our two way running means nobody from the opposition gets any space.
  17. Lumumber has the right right to sue and Collingwood has the right to presumption of innocence. I hate Collingwood so happy for them to cop a massive whack if these allegations stand up. Some of the things Lumumber has said in the past are fanciful at best. I do hope it works out for him though and he finds his peace.
  18. When we can have a shot we take it. If we kick a point we back our structure. For the opposition's kick out. If we kick a goal even better. Passing to a "better option" gives us a higher chance of turning it over and less opportunity to defend if we do.
  19. What pub are you getting duck at? I normally just get a chicken parma.
  20. https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://m.youtube.com/watch%3Fv%3DJR7fpYfW-VU&ved=2ahUKEwi2iIOt_8D3AhVU6XMBHcskCYgQwqsBegQIBhAF&usg=AOvVaw1ko21usDeDCism4GJuxBQk
  21. I'd go in with Toby Bedford and drop Wied. Not like for like but I I don't mind changing the structure for our advantage. Bedford is more likely to kick goals and offers more defensive pressure.
  22. I've written this before but I'll write it again. My daughter wears number 6 on her back. She used to keep getting asked why she liked Jordan Lewis and she would tell anyone off. She would of only been 3 or 4 years old but she would let them know bluntly she has 6 on her back because of Daisy. This one I have written about before In a shout out to the Gus and Gawny podcast my daughter and i had the pleasure of randomly catching a tram with Jayden Hunt's mum. She told us Jayden's uncle played for the dees and has the same locker my daughter trumped her (pun intended) and said her great grandpa was the president of the USA.lthats true. One of the useless presidents on the simpsons
  23. There is only 1 reason she is going around again. An AFLW premiership. Do it for Daisy.
