  1. McDonald has been massive for us, but his disposal is always scary.
  2. Is Jack Watts the best set shot for goal in the AFL?
  3. Richmond is better than Collingwood though.
  4. Pedersen is being held at every marking contest. He should have about 3 frees directly in front right now.
  5. In ten years, neither he nor we will give a rats when he debuted. Just pick him when he's ready.
  6. I like this proposed change a lot more than just some random flat number. Only allowing interchanges after a goal actually makes some kind of organic sense. Take 25 goals per game multiplied by 4 interchanged players per goal plus the 4 you get at the start of each of the three quarters and you've got a hundred and twelve interchanges anyway. At least it would be tied in some way to a fundamental aspect of the game.
  7. I feel like everyone already knows that, but I imagine there are some young Melbourne supporters now and in the future who will actually need to be taught how important Jim Stynes was for us as a club and football as a sport. Keeping kids aware of past events is a major part of what ANZAC Day is about; and although I know it's considered gauche to compare footy to the ANZACs in any way, I think that particular lesson is one that we should take into all aspects of our lives. History is important, and Jim Stynes is as important as anyone to the Melbourne Football Club's history.
  8. Why not? It takes 3 years to get a degree, and the concept is the same—learning a whole new way of doing things can be hard. In this case its just as much a physical hurdle to overcome as it is an education hurdle.
  9. Anyone who bought into this thread should ask for their money back.
  10. You should replace the 1970s logo with the vault boy. It'll be like Demonception.
  11. Didn't that happen in 2004 or something? That's a very long time ago now.
  12. No no no. You guys have it all wrong. This is clearly the Lennon McCartney duo!
  13. I meant super debut against Collingwood, obviously.
  14. Looking back, Stefan Martin is still the only player I'm sorry to have lost in the last 10 years. He was also the only one I didn't want to lose at the time. But we shouldn't hate on Howe for leaving us. He grew up a Collingwood supporter for crissakes. Let him rot with his own kind.
  15. 6 Watts. Won it when it was there to be won 5 Viney. Kicked an important goal and was great in the clinches. 4 Gawn. Performances like this are becoming the norm now. 3 Tyson. 2 goals and a bunch of possessions without coughing it up. 2 Bugg. His best game for the club. 1 Wagner. Super debut 2nd game.
  16. We need to learn to win first, even when playing below our best. The Essendon game is proof of that.
  17. Question: Would Demonland have exploded if Jack Watts had played like this in his debut game against Collingwood all those years ago? Better late than never, I suppose.
