bush demon

Such a silly comment. As if the bombers would change their motto because it represents bombing, As if Collingwood members would know what a cakewalk was but what supporter would change that. As if any demon person could imagine dumping should auld acquaintance be forgot. These outdated lyrics are the DNA of the supporter preserved by tradition and not the possessions of the AFL corporates.

This is definitely true. anyone who went to the football in the 70s for example could suck in fantastic atmosphere. now it's silent before games and subsequent breaks in the game are saturated with noise from the P.A and ground announcers. Peak Football Cometh.

Driving to Traralgon and got one of those pesky call centre calls. I said who is it and the caller said Clayton Oliver. I told him he was doing a great job doing a membership drive and our family were all dedicated Dees. He said awesome. So my prompt renewal is thanks to his yet again good work in heavy traffic.

I suppose it should be noted that we also have five good "ins" to replace these discards: Tyson, Lever, Pedersen, Garlett and Bernie Vince.

Scully Martin watts Frawley Howe. So sad to let good love go by.

Any club would have loved to have had Steven Powell or Brian Wilson in the guts. Both great players and ball-winning magnets.

I made it.

Was a key game in our last premiership year. Although we lost the season opener (narrowly) to Geelong we went on to beat them at Kardinia park and later claimed the premiership:

We nearly didn't make the finals in 1987,ended up only one buckn' kick from the grand.

The issue has not gone away, only the management of it: No longer sports’ dirty little secret, tanking is on full display and impossible to contain http://wapo.st/2HZ6xGz

Medical science now considers that every incidence of concussion leads to brain damage. In the long term our code is doomed because courts will eventually spell this out toz sporting administrations. Anyone who saw what Daniel Bell went through would not want to see the likes of Brayshaw and others being exposed to the same thing, in the name of sport.

In the very early days games were broadcast live, at least the last quarter. Grand finals inc. 57 58 and 59 were also broadcast live but went straight to air and were not preserved. I can still (barely) remember the cameras set up behind the goals and filming down the ground. About 1960 the vfl stopped live telecasts because they felt it damaged the gate.

Wore my Melbourne jumper around England in 1965 (see me pictures at a Butlins Holiday Camp in red and blue.). Recorded kicks, marks and goals from radio commentaries as a kid. Lou Richards was the best commentator. In the old days we used to run round the ground each quarter so we could be at the end Melbourne were kicking to.

The AFL is diluting the clubs' brand so that they become the brand. Typical Heysenburg.

He better, cos we've leaked Howe and Frawley in recent times.

Gawn is a giant. Hope he gets a premiership medal.

Norm Smith and Ron Barassi were into table tennis big time and both hating losing.

We go to Darwin for 'home games' whilst on our ground and on the same day Richmond and Essendon play the heavily promoted Dreamtime game. The humiliation.

AFL supporting the alleged victim but waiting till their people get back from holidays. Imagine this being the police line. Meanwhile the player concerned is also left in limbo. Unfair to both parties.

Just like the Kokoda/western Front days of yore, when the young enlistees were sent to the battlefront.

Send them all off to Port Adelaide, they are in the premiership window.

Players shouldn't be subject to macho stuff like this at Christmas time, there is a thing called tapering off. Athletes don't have to be robots for 12 months just to appease their boozy smartphone supporters they have to train smart and be respected. Gone is performance enhancement and gone is the special forces commando mentality.
