Chook

Like Brent Moloney did against Geelong one infamous day? The basest of baseline standards is if you're unfit, you don't play. Why else were we huffing and puffing in the first quarter?

I was reading lucifer's post, and it wasn't until he started talking about Russell Robertson that I realised his message was almost five years old. If that doesn't tell you something about this club's predicament, I'll go hee.

"He is - if it's possible when you play your first game - he's probably been a Melbourne person for longer than anyone else in that room." - Mark Neeld on Jack Viney after the young man got up and spoke to his team-mates after the loss. It's that kind of leadership and strength that will get us out of this hole we're in. What a great kid. I hope he's capable of taking on more than he should ever have to take on, and is able to turn this bloody ship around before it's too late.

If we had won this would have been a great thread, but I just can't muster the will to make conversation about it. Someone put me out of my misery.

More like "Ban the mindset that thinks the bugler is a good idea."

He's a [censored] footballer.

That's disrespectful to chooks. We a mile off the second worst team I've seen this round.

Looking at the stands on the TV, it looks like there's absolutely no-one there.

Yes he is.

Ha! That's a brilliant image. Get well soon.

I'm not going to lie. I loved his performance even more considering I tipped the Suns and had Gary Ablett as my SC Captain.

A Captain and a star full-forward is not a waste.

Lynden Dunn is like a cockroach you just can't get rid of, and I mean that in the best possible way. Congratulations on the ton, and may you produce many ill-tempered and obnoxiously moustachioed progeny.

Today has shown just how irrelevant pre-season form is. We won't know anything until 3 PM tomorrow, and there's an outside chance that we really have improved a lot. We could also have gone backwards, but there's absolutely no way of knowing so don't worry about it.

Also, surely this breaks the record for most threads started in one day.

Stud Easily the best I've ever seen, although my age precludes about 99% of all the players who have ever played.

Me too, although it took until Saturday night for me to cotton on. But I still reckon the Bulldogs win was the upset of the round.

Having just realized that Leigh Montagna is suspended for the Saints, I've made a late change to my tip for tonight's game. I've picked the Suns to beat St Kilda up at Metricon (though this might just have undone my headstart from tipping Essendon and Fremantle last week.) We'll see how it pans out. Also, Sam Lane has been horrendous tonight on the Channel 7 pre-game ramble.

Dollar for dollar Trengove is miles ahead.

NAB Cup form is now officially less than meaningless. Also, the goal review system is a joke.

I don't think you know what the word neutral means.

Unfortunately I grow as much facial hair in a year as some men do in a week. A man can dream though . . . a man can dream.

Moron.

Only real men appreciate the true manliness of a hard-earned crop of facial hair.
