Knowing our luck we'll get a nice, new home base in Warrnambool.

I reckon there might be somewhere in Casey that needs some updating too...

I thought 246 was Paul Johnson?

Na it was definitely Nick Smith, always unlucky with injury and 426 always ended up being like 8 to 10 weeks.

Edit, maybe he was but 426 was Smithy.

From The Guardian.. fingers crossed there are some events to be held in Melbs that needs an awesome brand spanking new facility built...

Nick Smith was the 426 man.

That was the one!

Imagine Goody and the Dr at the time of 426, it would have been a verbal blood bath for the poor old Dr.

"Hmmm .... let's think ... we're too old? .... no, we are too old. Melbourne got lucky? Nah ... umpires are terrible ... nah, that never flies ... Corona virus? But we've all been tested. .... hmm .... virus ... we got hit with a virus ... Got it. We were affected by a mysterious virus. Measles? Malaria? How about good old gastro? We got hit by gastro. Several of our players were affected pre-game by gastro. Okay, I think I can make this work."

…”rheumatoid arthritis, gout and a goiter.”

Ah bugger, that sucks for him and the Suns.

Ahhh yes Cards.  The chances of copping a fist behind the earhole or a swift one to the guts was pretty much guaranteed against those apes.  I remember the heavily tattooed McSweeney brothers as particularly nasty individuals.  I had to wait a whole year to repay the favour to one of those bustards.

In those days (early 80's) there was only one field umpire.  I just happened to play cricket with the guy who was umpiring my revenge game.  I played in the middle and teed it up with the umpire to look and see where my opponent and I were standing and then he would ensure that his back was towards us as he bounced the footy to start the game.  The ball was bounced and the objective achieved.  The umpire of course saw nothing.

You can only imagine what it was like in the 70's, oh the memories.

Lads I was “lucky” it was the Southern Football League and not the old Federal League from what i was told.

The Bentleigh Bell Ends. Sounds like a good name for a suburban club. 😄😉
Perhaps the compromise position is to film a doco on the eponymous team? 🤓🔔

You know what song they run out too

What are you trying to say? I only played juniors there but my cousin played seniors and went alright. Mind you it is the only place I saw mothers and sisters jump the fence. The club rooms were always an interesting place after a win. Yes, I went to school with the Henwoods

Some of the lads would be cherry ripe at training on Thursday to only have a mystery 24hr flu on the Friday if we had to travel at to Dovey. They’d be right for a few beers on Sat night or Sunday though… 

One the biggest punch ons over I’ve ever seen was with Dovey, finals at Caulfield park in 04, was mental.

Yes, and more people should. Anyone who has read my posts on here would know I have a very low opinion of the "media". Neroli Meadows has me thinking not all media/ people are created equally. This is raw and honest interviewing without judgement or sensationalism for "points" (read clicks).

Ultimately a "bogan" from Frankston ( Somerville) can teach us all a lesson in humility, reality and acceptance. At the same time giving an understanding of the importance of support and appreciation of a situation. For clarification: I'm a product of "Dovfton" so I can use the adjective "bogan"  with some authority.

This podcast should be required listening , not necessarily for Dee's supporters but for anyone who is  battling with their  circumstances/emotions/ inability to move on.

On a very Melbourne FC point of view; I must emphasis the "Melbourne Way". Anyone who listen's to this podcast should be taken by the honesty and in turn support of a quality individual that results in a wonderful premiership player and a wonderful role model to show the way.

I played footy against Dfton, without fail a few lads would come down with the Dfton flu on the night before a game. 
 

Thanks I’ll have a listen, Meadows has always struck as good at her craft.

Uncharacteristically large amount of photos of Goodwin smiling with the players this morning. I don't like the look of this; they look like they're having fun. Must be in complete shambles. 

Maybe they had a big win on the Dapto dogs last race last night.

Zoom.... how many spicy questions re the Board elections will they "run out of time to answer".

So long as they stay out of each others way.

Robbo interfered too many times with Neita.

…. Unsavoury Robbo!

Maybe he and Goody are working on a joint deal with another club?

Nope would be happy for him to win another 5 with them, they deserve them as much, if not more than we do.

Bowey will leave Melbourne at age 30 having played 220 games and join St Kilda for two years to honour his dad.

As long as he’s won the 5 flags, good luck to him.

In my season rewatch I reached the prelim final last night. Unlike most games where I watch one quarter an evening this one I watched in one sitting.

It is arguably the most comprehensive performance of the season. Other than missing a few gettable goals in the second? quarter it was near faultless.

The GF was special and no one will forget that 35 odd minutes of domination but I think this game was the pinnacle performance wise.

Obvious kudos to Max but the performances by Brown, Spargo, Petty ANB..the list goes.... on are what should stand us in good stead in the coming season.

I’d have to watch them again but I felt the rnd 12 Brisbane game was our most complete, they were up and firing, have us a real contest… Cats were terrible the Prelim, god I love it!! Long may it continue.

Harmsey… what were you thinking.. do you know who I am, just tap out bro..

Thanks PF.

youve taken training reports to another dimension.

were you viewings from an elevated position? What security measures were in place.

i do love the fact that there is training with intensity, that seems to me the realisation of requirements of premiers.

Intergalactic planetary… another dimension… another dimension… well now don’t you tell me to smile…you stick around I’ll make it worth your while…

“Man this is going to be hard… when do I tell him… I’m sure he knows but I don’t think he knows how quickly it’s going to happen… how will I do it, over a wine at his restaurant or a coffee from his coffee van… I don’t know but I’ve got to tell him at some stage and possibly this year he’ll be spending most of his time playing as a forward and becoming a relief ruck to Dogga…. What tough decisions I’ve got to make….

oh chit he’s staring right back at me.. say what.. oh nothing Maxi, you’re looking a million $$$ mate, can’t wait to see you in action this season keep up the good work mate, do you mind doing some goal kicking practice now buddy, off you go…”

What odds could you get for Clarry and Tracc to joint win the Brownlow?
