Go the Biff

Got a bit jumpy after watching training this arvo so I settled myself by watching Jaka & Ox highlights. How good were those blokes. I've also got the Robbie Tawny Port but I suspect the contents have aged worse than I have. If we get up tomorrow I might just leave it in its nice presentation case and build a shrine around it.

About to start @Jaded. Show is called AFL GF Eve Captain's Run

I hope Max's comments from his press conference on 11/9 ring true when Jones & his legacy are remembered "This guy's a warrior and has set this club up to be in this position. He won't be remembered for the Melbourne of old, he'll be remembered for changing Melbourne" Thanks Chunk

Pretty much my thoughts Dazzle. Our preferred forward structure includes two KPFs plus Jacko & Fritta. Given our 2 current keys forwards are approaching veteran status, we would be mad to punt the Weed as we have no other young KPF on the list. If one of BBB or TMac go down, at the very least Weed can fill a role.

Same. Mahoney had a remarkable capacity to turn what we want into what we need. Hopefully he left his playbook lying around

Niners Vikings Ravens

Yeah, I'll go again

My first hope is that we slay this curse once & for all this year. My second hope is that it's replaced by the "Clarkson Curse" which can stick around at Hawthorn for 50 years or so

I'm gonna assume you're too young to remember 1987 when we made finals after 26 years of [censored]. As we progressed it seemed like the whole city was on board with us....and it felt great Embrace the positives WoK, even the bandwagoners. You'll enjoy the ride even more

Fixed it for you Steve

Hahaha. I think you'll find your self-adulatory posting had its genesis long before the Collingwood game. I've no problem with your opinion nor your analysis. It carries no more or less weight than anyone else's on an anonymous fan forum. But your neediness is concerning. Help is out there. Seek it. Or, full length mirror

Agreed. But we've got some who can put it out in front of a leading player. I get the whole "everyone leads to the right pocket & if we don't mark it we can trap it inside 50" thing. But if I'm running forward with the ball, I'd like at least a couple of options

Same bloke who's delivered our poxy F50 strategy - that being all the talls run to the one spot & we kick it on their heads

I'm not one of the happy clappers. I've enjoyed our successes but have been fully aware of our shortcomings. Chiefly our deplorable structure & system inside 50 and our new-found weakness at stoppages. However it concerns me greatly that someone's insecurity has them constantly posting on an anonymous fan forum to give themselves pats on the back. And to admonish those who don't enthusiastically join in with the Dr. D back patting. I hope UROK. If on the other hand you are just a narcissist and an harsehole (silent first h), I'm still prepared to help you out. For Dr. D A range of options but the Blonde Block Full Length Mirror is 30% off. I believe they'll deliver in lockdown. There you go son, either use it to aid your narcissistic tendencies or to, in the words of the Couldabeens "have a good hard look at yourself"

Anything that gets those blow-ins Geelong, Carlton & Essendon the [censored] off our home ground is fine by me. They have home grounds so they can bloody well use them. Also fine is Richmond having to take a trip down the Geelong Rd and having their supporters fight for the 30 or so away tickets that Geelong give out

The way Hawthorn fans have dropped off lately, we might as well have been playing Freo. Not sure the $$$ hit will be that hard.

Hahahaha. You've been in outstanding form this round @Jaded. 10 coach's votes.

Starting to wonder whether a trip to Specsavers might be in Weid's best interest. It's not just pack marks he's spilling. It's like the ball suddenly gets big on him.

Bradtke has been playing KPD for the past few weeks & has improved with each outing. Thought he was quite good today.

Shocking commentator. Even worse singer

Agreed. The AFLW and VFL commentary teams just get on with calling the game and they do it well. In terms of "special comments" Leppa has been a welcome addition. The two best at this though are Daisy Pearce & Abbie Holmes. Their insight is a class above the other boofheads that 7 trot out . Jobe Watson does my head in. Butchers the language. He dead set invents his own words.

Would like less from Harmes. Every time he touches the footy it ends up in Port Adelaide hands. Reverse King Midas.

Also noted. I am becoming more and more convinced that Hellofatime is in fact either Majak Daw himself ........or Majak's mum.
