Chook

I defended him. But then, I also defend Dawes.

I think that when we finally win a modern-day premiership, it will revitalise the meaningful nature of our history. No longer will it be something we did a very long time ago in a totally different world; it will be a rich testament to our ability to succeed for over a hundred years. Win another one and the rest will gain new life.

Now that IS a horrifying stat. At least I've only had to sit through four of them. That was more than enough for me.

How are we supposed to equalise a competition when everyone involved in it just wants success, and damn the money?

The longer the AFL is around, the less these VFL records mean to me. Sure they're great, and they're far more meaningful than any of the other state records; but there's still a large part of me that feels we have no premierships. Does that make me a bad Melbourne supporter?

Sure they are. Haven't you ever heard of the Calder Cannons Footy Factory™. BT talks about it from time to time.

Well that goes without saying. He also got a lot more than anyone here will ever get. James Frawley gave a lot to Melbourne, but it was still nowhere near enough. Certainly nowhere near as much as the real Hawthorn players have given Hawthorn.

The best thing about this video is that every time you think "Geez, he can't possibly kick this!" he puts it straight through the middle. Also, did anyone notice how many of Jesse's goals were basically from the goalsquare? Talk about a cherry picker.

What did he do? EDIT: Saw it. Yes, carrying around a 6-day old like he's a loaf of bread is not a good look. What if he dropped him putting on the Auskicker's hat?

H2O is a compound.

God what a lame grand final this is. Terrible end to an otherwise fairly entertaining year.

Too bad Paddy Dangerfield isn't in it, but then I guess he's too busy running away from the Adelaide Football Club.

My god there are some spudly names in that lineup.

Just wait till this guy gets a full pre-season in.

The body he has now is ridiculous though. I wonder what the hard-work/genetics/good-training-methods ratio is there.

In reality this result only means he was the 17th best midfielder this year.

Why’d you mention Fyfe then?

Clubs with picks 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17 also forgot to pick Fyfe up too.

Must have been hard to care about WAGs when Hitler’s corpse was barely cold and half the world was in ruins...

The round by round retrospective COULD be good if they actually put some effort into it. Nathan Jones polling well. Too bad we can never win enough games in a season to give him a legit chance of getting near it.

My mute button is really getting a workout here. I aim to only hear one voice for the rest of the night. Too bad it still has to be Gil’s voice.

Whose bright idea was it to have a bunch of mealy-mouthed footy players reading each round’s highlights from a script?

Every time I see Mark Robinson on my TV screen I simply can’t fathom what series of mistakes caused him to be there.

Here’s a list of things Jeremy Howe is:

The way some Demonland posters have treated Jack Grimes this year is a very poor reflection on them.
