  1. Someone suggested " amway" and it suits his name. I quite like it.
  2. "Footy club" does. Just saying.
  3. Good get.
  4. It was thinking of his fiancée that choked him up. He is a pretty great guy.
  5. Goody was pretty upset Robbo called him a cheat. Watched AFL 360 expecting to see Robbo apologise for a pretty ordinary comment. He didn’t apologise. I thought that was pretty ordinary.
  6. I have noticed that too and was surprised at some of his comments in our games, about us. It is sort of like if I attack my old club, everyone will know I am not biased.
  7. As Leigh Matthews said on Sunday on Footy Furnace, it is laughable that people are now saying touching your head to get a free, is now a "disgusting act" on a footy field. He absolutely rubbished Morris and the Medias' obsession with the May stage. Said it has happened countless times this year without Media comment.
  8. Redleg replied to Flag Favourites 3019's post in a topic in Melbourne Demons
    And that was one of the qualities we were led to believe he had, an aggressive streak when he went for the ball.
  9. First club to be done for tanking, or bringing the game into disrepute for discussing it. First club to have had a top 5 and NGA player taken away from the ability to draft him. First club to lose a player for a legal tackle that accidentally caused a concussion, Chandler. First club to have a player miss effectively a third of that season for a sling tackle, ANB in the covid shortened season. First in most games played against the Cats in Geelong in the last 25 years. First club to have a player suspended indefinitely, without a decision or hearing, for 10 months, for using coke 4 days before a match day. First club to lose a player forever, from a bump that a few months later is deemed illegal. First club to have allegations that the Coach was drinking and gambling with the players. First club to have Directors be sued by the immediate past President. First club to have a goal reviewed and disallowed after the all clear for allegedly having the ball touching the hair of an opposition player without any vision of same. First club to have one player have multiple overturned goals on review, after the all clear by the goal and field umpire ANB. First VFL/AFL club Board actively seeking a merger with another club and and using proxies of non club fans. First club to have a player suspended for standing still, while an opposition player ran into him in a practice game concussing himself, May. I am sure you can all have some fun thinking of some other firsts.
  10. I don't think she is "employed" by the MFC, or at least I hope she isn't.
  11. That has to be AI, as the golden boy would never stage/act and of course would never be called out for it.
  12. Not if Petty plays deep and say Jeffo kept leading up the ground. Andrews would then take Petty. Btw I am not advocating for Jeffo this week, but if we are out of the finals race, I am sure he will get a game or two.
  13. Agree 100%. He deserved the fine, just as much as at least 6 others this year that were ignored. Another first for the Dees, the first staging fine this year and maybe for a couple of years.. I love the pile on from the media once again, about how disgusting this act was. Really, disgusting? I will tell you what was disgusting, the media defending a thug who ended a player’s career. That was truly disgusting, trying to even blame the victim.
  14. You and me both. Billings just can't kick.
  15. IMO it's only a matter of time before we see Jeffo, AMW and Verrall in the seniors.
  16. He is untradable atm with his contract.
  17. We have a player who is the best contested ball player I have ever seen and who was instrumental in our 21 flag. He is my favourite player. He is struggling atm. He has had no pre season, injuries, personal issues and plenty of mates in the team also in poor form. Yes his disposal is not great atm and until last night was still at least getting a lot of the ball. He had a hard tag yesterday, where he was constantly infringed and once even thrown to the ground without the ball again without a free and yet is constantly being harshly treated by the umpires. He handballs away in a split second and is then pinged for throwing or htb. The club has not come out and had a go in the media about this to support him, which most other clubs do and would. That could help. It is disappointing. He will come good again, but it might not be his best until next year, when he can have a proper pre season and get over his injuries and other issues. We need to support him and get off his back. He has given us plenty and maybe we should give a bit back. Go Clarry and Go Dees.
  18. And he has a son who might be taken by us this year.
  19. Great post and all our best Toni. Hope the win brought you a little joy.
  20. For those not feeling the happiness of a win, it is always great to have a win, even when it is not the sort of win you would prefer. WE WON and our season is still alive, maybe not in great health, but alive nevertheless and that is good.
  21. The AFL appears to have admitted on their site the Windsor 50 was an error and will this week admit this one too. They will not admit the Sheezel htb, the Kozzie put down well after he kicked it, the Petty non mark, the Tom Mac front on spoil, the Clarry drag down and scrags at the stoppages, several other non htb calls to us and several soft ones to them, giving them half their score from frees or 50's. At one stage it was 9-4 frees to them in the last quarter and 3 of our 4 were marks we had already taken and an OOB on the full, essentially 9-1. My barometer for umpiring is Mrs. Redleg, who unlike me hardly even notices them and she was screaming out "they are blatantly cheating and trying to get the Roos a win because of last week." On a positive note, to have won with nothing from Fritta,and Clarry and playing against 4 extra players was good. BTW are our coaching panel watching the game, where was the extra defender in the last few minutes?
  22. Brad Johnson was going beserk about it after the game on Fox. Reiwoldt and Eddy agreed.
  23. And we will say nothing at least publically as usual.
  24. AFL site saying it was an umpiring mistake.
