Chook

I turned my monitor off. Does that count?

The eternal cry of the IT support dude.

Horrific disposal today. If I were him, I'd actually be a bit embarrassed at how much some people praised my game. I'm sure Goody will spend a lot of time with him midweek showing him how he could have turned those 39 possessions into much more valuable ones.

There only one Melbourne club. Melbourne.

My contempt for you is strongly growing.

Heston Blumenthal goes ok if you're into that kind of food.

I thought that was Frodo?

I guarantee a bunch of randoms from Northern States or with no real interest in footy will tune in this week to watch Melbourne play Carlton. Oh wait, is the Wedding on that day?

Reality TV and the Demons. My 2 great loves united in 1 ridiculous thread.

Petracca will be miles ahead of Brayshaw once both are done.

... and the free agents will come

I was told on BigFooty by some very involved Eagles supporters that we shouldn't judge by possessions alone. I countered that this must surely mean that Schofield would have stopped Tommy McDonald's goal in the dying minutes instead of being completely unsighted. Not much in the way of a response.

In fairness, we didn't win a game without Jim Stynes in the side from Round 18, 1987 – Round 5, 1998.

Just wait a month...

2017 That's when.

Notice the backward steps and overall defensive posture. It's indicative of a dog that has been abused by its master. One must assert one's position, after all...

Your wish is my command. Excuse the analogue quality. I'm not Fox.

Copy and paste, mate.

Do you really want to give the racists more ammunition?

Seems not. There's a gaping hole in the soul of that footy club that no amount of premierships can fill.

It'll be hard to do this year though; hawthorn seems hell-bent on knocking over an even bigger hoodoo. Believe it or not, they've never won four premierships in a row.
