No. Clearly, everybody hates us. They're all out to get us. It's not just your imagination at all. No siree! Nothing unhealthy to see here.

Please post your "very long list" of Melbourne haters or PM me if you'd prefer.

I suspect it's nothing more than a matter of perspective and bias. Every club has an element of its supporter base who believe they cop the rough end of the pineapple from the media, the AFL and the umpires. Some people just can't help wallowing in the murky waters of self-pity, conspiracy theories, victim mentality and persecution complex.

Why?

I hope so. Sleeping the whole weekend can really ruin your week. Rip Van Windsor?

I dunno. Suns are very familiar with fire.

I think the boot studder has a lot to answer for. Why has he escaped scrutiny?

Bye, son!

Hmmm. Not really catching on, is it?

My queries have been answered. The players are on the grass.

Are we doing speed training? Practising how to ice a game? Being put to the acid test? Bringing ecstasy to training watchers?

You remember correctly!

Debuted in round one of his first season and played 13 senior games that year.

It's no coincidence that the flags dried up not long after the Salary Cap was introduced and they were no longer able to buy success. May their misery and misfortune endure for at least another thirty years.

Is it an Oldsmobile?

Will you be calling us Caulfield one day?

This is his spirit animal.

From their last eleven matches, Carlton have won two - North Melbourne and West Coast Eagles. At least their fans are taking it well.

Demonland posters are pathetic?

In other words, nobody really knows and it's all just guesswork.

I'm not a religious person by any means, but I think I might go to a church and pray for his sole. It's worth a try.

Speaking of which and veering off topic for a moment (I think it's justified) ...

So why didn't AJ get a fine? (presume that's what you meant)

That's a very good question and I think I know how most of us would answer. Here's another good question. If the roles were reversed and it was Toby Greene tackling Xavier Lindsay, would people still think a suspension was not warranted?

The alarm bells on JUH are ringing louder and louder. Any suggestion we might look at picking him up seem highly unlikely to me. His coach said today that he may not play a senior game this season as he continues to work through personal issues and is training away from the club. He must complete a long training block – and regain the confidence of key figures within the club – before he is deemed fit to play. Beveridge said there was no guarantee the athletic forward would be fully back in the fold in the short term. He said Ugle-Hagan would not be selected until senior people at the club believed he had earned his place back in the team, and “I don’t know when that will be”. https://www.theage.com.au/sport/afl/ugle-hagan-may-not-play-at-all-this-season-beveridge-20250318-p5lkco.html
