Chook

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

Petition to call this weekend's match day thread "Hello Curnows"...

Apart from Premiership coach of the Collingwood midfield, he'll never ever get a better opportunity than Senior Coach of the Melbourne Football Club. He cocked that one up pretty good though.

I think it's a good sign that can't call to mind those two games.

We thought the precedent was set last week. Turns out we were wrong.

That's cause Tom McDonald has been out hurt.

That's cause Tom McDonald has been out hurt.

This Nat Fyfe character must be pretty good if he's ahead of Maxxy.

Unfortunately for everyone whose name is not Clayton Oliver, there is as yet no drug that can give a bloke superhuman spidey-sense and also ridiculous handball skills.

They all should have got a week. Swear at an umpire, get a 50. Touch an umpire, get a week. Hit an umpire, get a lifetime ban. Simple. Obvious. And therefore never gonna happen.

At this point I think if Neeld hadn't been at Collingwood, they would have been the greatest team of all time. To win a flag carrying Mark Neeld must be the world's most amazing accomplishment.

I don't know about that. I've heard a few keen-eyed football folks say he don't kick it much.

Jack Viney will has great leadership as well as great football skill, which puts him well above even Clayton Oliver IMO.

Except for who you played and who's coming up next.

Nah. 64 is as high as we go.

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

Tells you where the comp is at right at this moment.

If I'd had a billion concussions and was just now starting to play good footy, I'd put my contract discussions on hold too…even if I played for the Melbourne Footy Club (which we all know I'd never leave in a million years but don't tell them that just in case I'm drafted as a mature-age rookie or something).

I totally agree. Except I don't rate our ability to learn. At all.

In my ideal footy world, there are 0 preseason games, 0 byes, 0 interchanges, 16 teams, 32 rounds, 18 men on the field, 4 men on the bench, a 44 man list, and it's up to the coach to figure out how to deal with it all from week to week and from minute to minute.

This bloke is statistically unprecedented in a lot of areas.

True. Until we win our flag or this group has failed, I will forever hearken back to that golden month of footy we played last year that started with us smashing the Dogs and ended when Bugg did a Barry Hall on Callum Mills in that Sydney game. To me, that month was 3 people: Jack Viney, Tom McDonald, and Tomas Bugg. We need to get those three on the same ground together again because they are so important to our culture. Call me superstitious (or worse) about the third bloke, but the first 2 are beyond dispute. Add in Gawn and Hogan and that month of footy would have gone on all year I reckon.

I love Garland for how much he loves Melbourne, but I feel he was one of those Paul Roos talked of when he said we were still "Scarred."

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

I feel like we say that about most who wear that jumper.
