  1. What a great place to be from 5pm. You get to go to G, have a chat with mates, go to the Robbie Flower Terrace and have a drink and watch the Matildas and get inspired and then watch some footy with the greatest player I have seen back from injury. 

    Times like this I hate being 700kms away from the best city on the planet.

    Did the public interest in womens soccer start with the success the US team had in recent years?

    Australia basically copies everything the yanks do.

    Due to the power and massive influence of the 4th and 5th estates Im assuming its the corporate media that got the consumer fired up about womens soccer.

    Australia has changed so much since i moved o/seas.  Its weird.

    Yes.

    I like the idea of building them up to the level of immortality only to see it come crushing down. 

    But they are already immortal revolutionaries of the game. 

    Sincere gods among men.

    Redwoods amongst mere sprouts.

    Good find that. I only find empty chip packets and dog hair behind my couch. 

    Well I have a 3 year old who puts my work phone behind the couch…

    ”Hey mate, you know you just can’t put Brodie back here! He might break. He’s bloody expensive!

    Sorry Brodie; he just kept you there for later. Didn’t mean anything by it. Good luck on the weekend!”

    The available figures are very rubbery

    Essendon's facility at Tullamarine is quoted at $21M whereas Hawthorn's new facility at Dingley is quoted at $100M.

    $15M sounds reasonable compared to the Hawks contribution at perhaps $30M

    Jimmy S wiped out $5M of debt so hopefully over time we can find $15M

     

    We have $15m in the bank, we just won’t want to use it.

    The only possible reason why a womens soccer game rated so well was because it was on a Monday night as very few people go out on the first working day/ night.  Big night for TV and advertisers.

    MFC attendance problem is most supporters have died of old age. It'll take years of success to get the big numbers back consistently.

    The. Only. Reason. Was. It’s. A. Monday.

    You know sometimes the world changes even when you don’t think it should.

    I will be watching the Matilda’s on Sat Night.

  7. I think Carlton are a really good team. They remind me of us in the way they build out from the contest.

    I just think they are missing too many top line players in the midfield, we have better players around the ground, we are really looking to be daring and exciting from stoppages and if we draw or win scores from stoppages then we should win the game.

    Like any week (post Cairns 2020), one is presuming good form and consistent effort.

    Apparently JVR was minutes away from playing in the elimination final but Gawny was declared fit.

    Sitting near the bench in that game, with Gawn popping painkillers like candy, nobody in a Melbourne jumper looked fit to me. It was a complete nightmare. 

    Nah, nah, it built RESILIENCE Jaded…

  9. Geelong can definitely beat the Pies, Lions too.

    BUT can we please just continue to call the Pies the Future Premiers of 2023? 

    They should rock up to all games expecting to win and they should play accordingly…
