Crikey, are people that negative that they're going the pre-emptive sook now?

No change ... for this year. Inevitably, the tail will wag the dog and Channel 7 will get its wish very soon.

Nice to have a game to talk about after that nine-day sookfest we've just had. Demons by a few goals for me.

Or what?

Great, another hair shirt post. About time we gave the self-flagellation a rest girls.

Sounds to me that people are just looking for shadows to jump at.

Apparently, he told the boys to go out in the last quarter with one goal in mind , which Nibbler duly delivered.

You can sort of understand it. McKenna IS Irish and Dickson IS a spud.

Lucky that Peter Filandia isn't still at Essendon.

Commonwealth Games?

Anyone else reckon this thread becomes redundant once the team is announced in the other thread? Each week we seem to end up with two threads essentially discussing the same thing. Mods?

Sorry Barrie! I agree that Tassie Johnson may be the one you're thinking of, and what a prodigious roost he had. As a kid I had the big Mobil posters of Tassie and Hassa Mann on my wall, and Hassa's 29 was on my first guernsey.

Are you blokes sure about Danny Hughes? The dropkick had disappeared from the VFL in 1980, a few years before he debuted under Ron Barassi, who most certainly would not have permitted anyone to dropkick. ps. Just checked my 1987 Elimination Final tape ... no dropkicks from Hughes or anyone else.

I tried breeding Easter Bunnies once, but their eggs don't taste nearly as chocolatey as they look.

Never in doubt.

I think we've all heard this song before. It's by Captain Hindsight and The Monday Experts.

That's Hogan alright, only with a goatee and a different face.

Who is that one on the left meant to be? Like fndee, don't think much of the caricatures.

Sorry man, no idea why that would have happened.

Everybody complains about the weather but nobody does anything about it.

?

Nah mate, that was the reality bus. It was what it was.

Where did he go?

If you wanted to be political, it could be Barnaby on one cheek, Tony on the other and Malcolm in the middle.

Josef Fritzl? If only we still had James Sellar.
