  1. Cannot get our hands on the footy
  2. Bailey Smith looks huge
  3. Definitely had hell but not much back
  4. I think by the end of his career he will easily be in our top 10 of all time. Everything from there on is just too subjective
  5. All the best to Ryan. 16 years is a fair time and he would have overseen plenty of strategic shifts within our marketing plan so pinning one or two negative things to him probably doesn't paint the whole picture. Good get for the Dons.
  6. Also didn't get to see today but just caught up on the 5 min highlights and have been well filled in here. Thanks everyone. T-mac looks a different person.
  7. I can't see anyone other than Melksham being the whipping boy for me. Spargo for the surprise packet!
  8. I've probably noticed it and said it before, memory isn't the best at times!
  9. Wanted to hate him after reading and hearing the stories of the 58 grand final but he was just such a lad. Always loved his story telling and just an all round good guy of the game. R.I.P

    Have to watch it again, only tuned in for the last 5 mins .
  11. Love your avatar mate!

    Is there anything more MFC than making you go to an expensive car dealership to collect your scarf? :p
  13. If this was a thing then North would have rotated Mckernan and whoever their other ruckman was at FF in the 90s every game.
  14. I remember after Ox's goal early on where he raised the ball he was just sounding off. "I reckon it sucks, I've seen so many games turned because of that shocking behaviour"
  15. Love the question, these are the first ones that come to mind: - 2000 Qualifying Final last quarter against Carlton - 2005 Rd 21 last quarter against the Bulldogs and Jeff White's winning goal - 2006 Elimination final against the Saints - 2016 against the Hawks - 2017 against the Eagles. Might have been my favourite Sat night ever as a Dees fan -2018 against the Eagles. I still have this gane recorded in the Foxtel planner and watch that last quarter probably more than anything I've mentioned. One of the best days of my Melb supporting life. - 2018 finals. Also, I always had a really special place in my heart for certain pieces of play by us that involved a massive team lifting bump that flattened the opposition that leads to the team kicking a goal straight after (usually from about 15 - 20 years ago). I used to jump through the roof when this would happen. The 2 that come to mind are the Neitz one on Mccabe that effectively ended his career. And the Wrecker Whelan one on James Hird in the 2004 down the members wing that led to the Trapper goal.
  16. Sounds great, just get the guy some more dental floss
  17. Hard not to agree. There's people that still think this list has the highest ceiling out there, the question is where is the improvement coming from?

    At least we can agree he's a jerk!

    Pete Carroll annoys me too, I can't figure out why other than because it's Seattle. I like the Trojans. I think he's a good coach but I also kind of feel like he lucked out with Wilson. 2 failed head coaching stints and 2 x 7-9 Seattle seasons before RW got there. I did like Kam Chancellor though back when you could hit.

    I hated the Rams growing up. They were easily our bitterist rivals. But then the greatest show on turf and that Superbowl run a few years ago, you wanted to hate them and did but they just looked so darn good doing it. It would have been like hating Barcelona in their prime. The Seahawks on the other hand is such a manufactured hatred, although the Harbaugh vs Carroll thing a few years back brought some feeling to it. Other than that it's just meh and they always beat us anyway.

    Haha, latest chapter in my new book "How to make Gorg's blood boil" :p

    This is the Dan Patrick interview yeah? Had a bit of a Mick Malthouse Carlton about it :p saying hes been sacked 400 times and 'we need to do better'. I say get the paperwork out and direct swap for Jimmy G.
  23. I sure hope so 58er. Can only have faith!

    It's different to what we usually hear from the usual 'get on with the job' Wilson we usually hear. Got that bumper deal just 12 months ago but the guy obviously wants to win. I also think Pete Carroll has gone a bit stale in his play calling in recent years, doesn't vary it up much. Does he trust Russell enough? Speculating of course.
