Chook

Ben Brown was obviously going to be a star from the first game I ever saw him play. People gave him [censored] for looking like the Hamburgler. All I could think was "North are onto something here."

Soldier in soldier out. Just deal with it.

Salvaged a very poor first half.

Waiting for some random Carlton draftee who no one thought would go high to become their Clayton Oliver after our next flag.

We can tell. Me? I was a spritely teen the last time the dees played finals. Now I'm staring down the barrel of 30 and I still hold that Chopper Carroll takedown on Fraser Gherig as my most loved footy moment.

At Melbourne I feel like we have enough of those types of players. On form, we have the best in the competition.

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.

Melksham is a clear AA player for me. Only Gawn from Melbourne rivals him in obviousness of the selection (Hogan and Oliver thereabouts too).

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.

This bloke loves horses more than is quite appropriate for a human being in my humble opinion.

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...
