Going deep

Can anyone drive Weightman to the hospital?

They're going pretty fast

I'm not saying we'll try but we'll try to try.

Would have loved to have caught some more of his career. Still so grateful, thanks Tulip.

Go Doggies

Honestly if all we do is kick straight we'll win. Less Collingwood kick-ins.

The 3rd quarter against West Coast was their worst quarter across all those games mentioned. They looked like pee-wee racers, they got it together in the last but by then the Eagles had fired their shot and were running on fumes. They're a good side for sure, but they're far from the best 11-1 side I've seen. If it bleeds we can kill it.

Never know, it's easy to hire a few rent a clowns with speakers these days..

So important for them last night, will be a big loss if he's out.

With the big game against the old enemy only days away, I’d like to share an interesting book by a local author. The Dominant Years by Ken Mitchell documents the period between 1926 and 1966 when Melbourne and Collingwood were the superpowers, during this time the VFL Grand Final featured at least one of these teams on 25 occasions. Ken Mitchell is a former VFL boundary umpire of 13 years and a former MFC director when Ron Barassi was lured back to the club as coach in the 80s and passionate about the history of the game as a neutral. He’s also good friends with former Collingwood premiership player Thorold Merrett who was a big supporter in the book being published and to remind the football world of the rivalry between these clubs and how the 1958 VFL premiership could be the most significant in history. Year by year they go through the premiership seasons of both clubs and there are some amazing photos from the time. A very accessible read. He isn’t selling in bookstores yet (Doesn’t have an ISBN yet either). I bought mine for $25 at the Cotham Rd Newsagency in Kew as Ken lives in that area. However if you are interested in getting a copy you can make an enquiry to [email protected], he’s always up for a good footy chat. Or DM me and I'll let you know if the newsagent still has any next time I'm in the area.

Is that us or them doing that 😝

Remember when Brock McLean was a late out in the 2006 QB game? I remember thinking we'd need to play the game of our lives. We did.

Gee $500 could get you many heads!

It's the one stat that doesn't flatter. Tackles inside 50 are worth their weight in gold.

Ouch

It was just really strange, Dermott can be bizarre at the best of times but I honestly thought he was about to state some list and structural related reasons as to why they didn't go with Ryder. Nek minnut he says they might like the nightlife too much and disrupt (or a word similar to disrupt) each other. I don't think Dermott is a racist but it does give you that little glimpse into the overall attitude at that time for HFC.

Really hope they have more in them. A Carlton friend of mine says the only thing that gives him more joy than seeing Carlton win a flag is seeing Collingwood lose one. I on the other hand would prefer they stay away from any of that and stay bad for the rest of eternity.

Yeah no idea, it's a real doozy though. Might be best to go with WatchAFL or get on a trial for one of the better VPNs.

Great stuff. I also just liked seeing 31 mentioned a lot.

What if you gave them 50 bucks?

Noah Vanderhoff (Nice name...NOT!)

We really need to get his kidneys before he can get Max's.

First Tony Randall cancels now this.
