Probably not, but it sounds like Oliver's a goner 'ere.

Pfffft. Of course not. It's not as if the MFC ever leaks, no siree.

I love how you always use both names of a person, even if you refer to them numerous times in the one post.

Oliver Twist's mentor was Fagin. Clarry is off to Brisbane for sure!

My opening letter is "G", followed in turn by "e", "t" and "F". You can guess the next five letters.

According to the live lobsters in their tank in the kitchen, it was a miracle.

Peter Daicos was recruited from Collingwood's Metropolitan Zone, as was Peter Moore. It's sheer good luck for the Magpies that their sons are excellent footballers. Luck of the draw. Contrast this with Alwyn Davey's two underwhelming sons at Essendon. Luck of the draw. Melbourne could possibly have Jeff White's and Aaron Davey's sons playing for us. Luck of the draw.

The plot thickens if Pert really was trying to Hawk the Demon.

I think we both know the answer to that!

Nowies to Owies.

Looking forward to seeing him stand and deliver for MFC in 2025 and beyond.

He did his ACL at training. The basketball incident caused a broken toe.

Is this a case of making a molehill out of a Mountain Dew?

Buckley hid his medal in his sock. Peter Moore famously threw away his runners-up medal after one of the many Collingwood GF losses.

Me too. I'd rather sort your sock drawer than listen to Trade Radio.

The current deal guarantees that the Grand Final will be played at the MCG until at least 2059. At that point, Essendon will still be waiting for their first finals win for 55 years.

That's probably a fair assessment, @titan_uranus.

Wayne Harmes was younger when he won it in 1979, although it was still the VFL then. I don't think Harmes removed his medal from around his neck for at least a couple of days.

Who is Sam Marshall's father?

Jordon was part of a midfield that was comprehensively thrashed. Maybe he's not the star that some here make him out to be and constantly lament his leaving?

Jordon must have only had a part-time job, then. He went missing for large chunks of the game with a mere 13 touches and four tackles.

The father-son rule is a lottery that all clubs have a ticket in. There's nothing flawed about it.

You might say it was a Bloodbath.

Must be almost time to turn the TV on. Is all the pre-game bullshirt finished yet?

Screw JJ. He dumped us, don't forget. Yes, I'm being very mature and taking the jilted lover approach to this game.
