Chook

You sure that wasn't Gerard Cometti?

For Melbourne Demons, Heartbreak no more shall find us; We will be champions.

After inventing the huddle and living off it for 50 years, it's been all downhill for Robert Walls, hasn't it? . . …Until now!

Despite what it loses in humour, this AFL article gains many points for brevity over Supermercado's The Great Dee-pression. Still...1-star. Would not live through again.

“I have reached the conclusion that some footballers or teams succeed because they cheerfully pay the price of success…and others, though they may claim ambition and a desire to succeed are unwilling to pay that price.” — Norm Smith

I can't name the ones I want because I don't know their names. That's how it should be. I only know the names of the ones I hate.

Why oh why would it be this week. I know it's relevant now but surely they'd wait till GF week for maximum negative Fugazi impact on this club.

Don't believe in never Gorgoroth. All's I'm sayin'.

Be still my true beating heart.

No one has ever accused Petracca of being laconic. If anything he's too overexcited.

My word, so MANY punchable faces in this thread.

Oops. I'm so excited for finals (and all the permutations that go with it) that I didn't even care which thread I'm in.

The winner of (the loser of West Coast/Collingwood) vs (the winner of Sydney/GWS). EDIT (Brackets for clarity). DOUBLE-EDIT (Overexcited).

I could definitely see Tyson keeping his midfield role and Viney being used as a clear like-for-like upgrade for JKH.

2018 Sam Frost This year at the 'G we are: 1-5 with Sam Frost out of the side 4-1 with Sam Frost in the side. For the way we play, Sam Frost is a pivotal player for us at the MCG…and no one would put him in our best players, that's for sure.

He's not one for the common man Whately. I've always seen him as super pretentious and not nearly as smart as he thinks he is. Also, his interest in horses borders on the perverse. But other than that he's great!

Wouldn't be surprised if he falls asleep on grand final day.

End thread. Deanox has won.

Someone should tell Jesse to pack his bags then. JH: "Loving Melbourne. Just got my license, my team's winning every week. And I get to swim in money. Sucks I got injured though. Ooh! A squirrel (Jesse's not bright)." JC: "I haven't ruled out Jesse joining the Dockers." JH: "Aww shucks! Do I have to go?!?!"

If it's the incident I'm thinking of, he brought it on himself. It was a top-of-the-ladder clash between them and us at the G in 05/ or 06(?), and we were losing but gamely trying to get back in it. Cue Neitz lining up some West Coast schmuck. Nailed him, but got himself even worse. I don't think either player played for the rest of the day. I'd say West Coast won that exchange, and the game too.

I was there, and though I've done my best to block the day out I seem to recall that it was straight after White and King had engaged in a ruck contest. Neither won the ball, and White bent down bravely to get it, while King just threw his boot at the general area of the ball. Nailed White so bad I though he'd be disfigured forever. The most sickening injury I've seen, and I saw Nathan Brown break his leg.

Irrelevant.

What if a bloke Gaffs him?

My IQ is checkers too but I'm gonna go on a marathon on Friday. Might even watch a bit of the Hawthorn game from 2016 (that's never going to get deleted). I've got a bunch of leave days saved up so I'm all set to burn one on the Dees before heading out there with my mum and her partner for (hopefully) a night of a lifetime (well, of a dozen years at least).

That's a serious stat…but almost a quarter of it comes from that 3 week period where we were winning against Adelaide and Carlton by infinity points and knocking on the door of 2007 Geelong's all-time quarters won in a row record. Still, it's a nice stat to go in with. Clean up those runs of goals against us (which we've done quite well particularly with Frost into the side and Gawn playing a more defensive role), and we'll be every chance to keep our opponents to a nice low score while we kick a ton every week.
