  1. You can only raise your chances by posting in this thread.
  2. Watching James Frawley is like watching sex on the football field. He just oozes power and confidence. It really is a strange feeling to have a defender wearing a Melbourne jumper who actually doesn't cause you to crap your dacks every time he goes near the ball.
  3. If we can call our country's leaders idiots, then surely we can criticise a few past players, especially when they're a little too in awe of themselves. Having said that, there's a fine line between criticism and going overboard, and unfortunately, where that line is placed differs from person to person Calling someone selfish because they claim they're biggest disappointment was not winning MotY is as valid as that claim itself. I like Robbo for his entertainment value, but I certainly like him less now than I once did, and that's a shame.
  4. For anyone whinging about our draw, or for anyone who wants a more in-depth analysis, take your bigfooty allergy medication and head over to http://www.bigfooty.com/forum/showthread.php?t=772740
  5. Other potential draftees from that year were Kel Varnson and Martin van Nostrand. Unfortunate tragedy befell the trio however on a pre-season trip to France. Their small private jet ("I bet Chris Judd flies in a bigger one" Vandelay was heard to remark) was grounded in a country town, and the trio, along with Varnson's ex-girlfriend, were embroiled in a legal mix-up. Unsurprisingly, renowned close-talker and Muck-Raker No. 1, Craig "Stinker" Huchison, was there to witness it all. A tell-all account is reportedly in the works, with the rights to the book already sold to Pendant Publishing.
  6. Aaron Davey. Changed the way football would be played forever. Not many people have done that.

    1. James Frawley 2. Liam Jurrah 3. Mark Jamar 4. Jack Grimes 5. Colin Sylvia
  9. I would rather have big weeping sores all over my body than Brown, so what's your point?
  10. . . . newscasters start throwing around the word "we" in their sports reports.
  11. True, but 2008 is an example of what he does do when he plays closer to goal.
  12. That caveat was first raised by me, when I said he would do well in the midfield, if only to change the game's flow. MrReims then agreed with me and the rest of you went and bit his head off for it. James Frawley is a defender, and will always be one, but a guy that size who can run down Lewis Jetta and break tackles the way he can could wreak havoc in the middle for a ten minute burst. If you don't agree with that, then you underrate Frawley as a footballer.
  13. James Frawley would absolutely destroy the mid-field and if we ever get the opportunity to do it, I'd stick him in there, if only just to change a game's flow.
  14. At the start of the year, when I was looking at all the rucks I could put in my Dream Team, Jamar was by far the best value, and so I knew he'd do okay this year. If only the rest of my team were as good . . .
  15. He did it in round 22 against the Kangas, but that was more due to the fact that there was no-one else available for that bounce. He won the tap, collected it and kicked it into the forward-line. Unfortunately, Liam Jurrah was nowhere to be found at the end of the kick. I wonder where he could have been.
  16. That was awesome. I actually found myself laughing out loud, and not that watered-down internet version either.
  17. LOL! You got it in three words when others need 50.
  18. I, Chook, do solemnly swear to never attend a Gold Coast Suns or Greater Western Giants home game. Considering I'd have to travel at least 900 km to do so, that's not much of a statement, though.
  19. Nah. He's more like the black smoke monster. No-one knows what he's gonna do next, and they're all real scared.
  20. Just wait. That'll happen again in about three weeks short of three years from now, and 35 000 Melbourne members will simultaneously jizz their pants, triggering earthquakes that'll be felt from here to China.
  21. JUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUURRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! Wins the game for the Dees. What a champ! 500 000 more members for the Dees! HA!
  22. Jamar is still on the field, so it can't be anything more than a stubbed toe for him, considering how absolutely meaningless this game is.
  23. I'm watching on Chrome. I've tried it on Firefox and Safari as well, but had the terrible buffering problems that you've had. I'm on a mac, and have it on Chrome at 64kb. No buffering problems, so although the video sucks for me, the audio is perfect.
  24. Brisbane by 13 points at the end of Q1. Poor accuracy from both sides.
