Chook

Wake me up when the saints win a final.

Yes. And also charge ya battery.

The ChookBucks earned by Spargo in that Hawthorn finals victory on '18 were all but spent before tonight. He's earned a few more though on that performance.

Jones' best game of the year. McDonald nothing more than a role player. Chris Dawes Mk II right now.

Here from the podcast, paying tribute to Sweetman.

Woof. What a missed opportunity. Jetta nearly cooked. Jones probably is as well. Imagine…three missed from Weid, 1 absolute sitter missed from Bennell. Fritsch should be dropped for McDonald on the basis of sheer Beavis-and-Butthead stupidity in the last 2 minutes.

lol to anyone who wanted to drop Melksham. The bloke's a game winner.

There's one back from Viney. Viney and Salem our best today.

Harmes having a mare.

Jetta is brave, but he's cooked. His only weapon now is putting his head over it, which he is doing to his detriment. Man how I wish Bennell had nailed that goal...

Also. Trac's vision is the best I have ever seen from a Melbourne player, bar none.

Would love to get a goal in a manner other than off-the-ground-in-the-middle-of-the-goalsquare style, but I'll take being level right now. Weideman and Oscar McDonald giving us a great deal of structure. Weid needs to figure out how to kick a ball straight when it's dewey. Jackson will be some player. I thought he would show nothing this year, but the fact that he's doing everything he's doing with so few games and so far off his ideal body shape gives me a lot of faith he'll be an amazing, one-of-a-kind type player over the journey. A true "every position" player.

You know how you had that Depression-era grandparent or great grandparent who would never throw anything out and had creative ways to stretch every penny. In 60 years Gen Z3 will have a bunch of germophobes for grandparents or great-grandparents.

I think you'll find Kossi has some of HIS footwork…if my biology lessons have taught me anything at all.

Well we are Melbourne after all.

There once was a cursed football team Who played quite alright in '18 But then went to crap and are tryna get back To a level we've, just, rarely seen.

In the late nineties where it died forever.

Jackson playing AFL footy in 2020 smacks of desperation. Only excuse is this is a Mickey Mouse season and there is no second-tier comp in which to play him. So…probs a good decision in the end.

He seems pretty awful when Lever's not in the side. I think Lever helps him play a lot better.

I don't want to wait another 7 years.

Jeez I musta missed that. Then again I'm not getting paid hundreds of thousands of dollars a year to see it, so I have an excuse.

If I had an agenda (and Clarkson does, just as we all do), I would play to that agenda. In this case the agenda is benefited by Melbourne being "a Finals Side", crippled by the rules. Of course we all know that's a laughable proposition. Melbourne? Good? Meh-heh-heh-heh!!! what a larf!!!

Unfortunately I can't foresee a situation where Tom McDonald will ever take a mark again. I just don't see how it could occur.

Feels weird playing a game this weekend. Usually we play once every 3-6 months.
