bush demon

According to all the "Cliffs from Clematis" on here Jack is cooked. According to Ben Guthrie on AFL.com.au Jack has "an ankle" but will be right this W/E.

What about Jones and Viney too lazy to use conditioner?

Melbourne once again dining out on its own bath water. So much press about being a premiership contender, everyone basking in mediterranean sunshine, meanwhile port shows what no BS football can achieve. Jones' dropped mark reeked of prelim. hangover.

Our new theme song: Blue dubba Dees dubba da:

Has the skinny legs/ zig-zag style of pre-knee Schwarta. Still, lots of soccer players recover from ACL's so hope Lever has a fantastic career with the Dees.

Anthony Ingerson.

Bennett was one of them, maybe Jakovich another? I'll look it up. 1989 semi final. Geelong 22 18 Melbourne 12.18. but only Bennett. Must be thinking if another game.

Does that mean we all have to get fit over summer as well?

Was it Bennett Schwartz and neitz lining up in a final in early 90s v Geelong where we got thrashed. The three amigos shook hands at the start of the game but when it came to game time we didn't function well with an overloaded forward line. Jesse's only option was to pplay his final year as a CHB.

I couldn't give a navicular. Freo gave up a lot to get H. = Neale out. Onwards and upwards the two sharpshooters, Weidemann and McDonald and into a big season for us. The real losers are Gold Coast, and their parent club, the AFL. GC needs to be merged with Brissie forthwith, and GWS merged with Sydney to become The Greater Sydney Somethings.

The Age reporting Hogan/May deal imminent.

Fantastic runner, and accumulator but can't hit a target and doesn't kick goals.

He was happy to Let Ron go. And Big Bob Johnson just seemed to walk out of the club when we needed him . There he was, starring for East Fremantle and Oakleigh in the 60s when we needed him.

Any AFL players stupid enough to read these childish would just have a laugh. One of the great traditions of our code is the mateship which transcends club loyalty. You only have to watch the players having a friendly chat post-game to see this. The Jimmy stuff should be left in the past.

Leigh Matthews got a statue.

Too young, and living in the country. But we had just bought a TV and ABC 2 scrolled the football and racing updates and on some kind of typed rolling sheet. The score updates showed the lead fluctuating until, "final score... etc with Melbourne winning. a few years ago i purchased from ABC archives the radio commentary of the game ($70) and then mixed it with the rothmans video and grainy tv footage to provide some sense of the last few minutes. in a scrappy game, amazing how barassi, townsend, and bourke combined to give Mann a shot at goals from directly in front (which he missed). amazingly, the kick-out was a very markable drop-kick which Brian Dixon duly marked. Ron Barassi, unable to mark seems to bring the ball to ground - in front of Crompton - who then purposely slots it through. the radio commentary later tells how Barry Bourke later took a telling mark in the last line of defence to repel Coillingwood. the footage shows how collingwood COULD have been paid one or more free kicks in the dying moments... but as they say, the whistle is usually thrown away by this stage. I know this is not direct memories of the game but hope it is helpful.

Put Ray Gabelich to shame.

'complement'

I remember George Bissett and Ricky? Spargo often carving up the Dees in the 60s. Sad for FFC that they missed this bloke.

Tinker's cuss

We got a call from Clayton Oliver, which prompted an early renewal. All our bling and glitter duly delivered. No complaints.

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.

Totally agree. Thompson was jet in 2004 when we were charting.

We've leaked Frawley and Howe, so about of leverage would be appropriate.
