Thx for that - always thought he was worst captain

Unbelievable 

Willie Rioli gets 2 year ban for failing to comply with urine test - was drug free anyway. 

Essendon - banned for drug misuse

 Carlton - fined lose picks for draft. Violations. 
 

…and did I see a Fritsch handpass out to Kossie

Not as good as Guthrie 😀

Wouldn’t mind getting the Pies at the G if they’re still unbeaten 

Brisbane won a triple limping into finals each year and bringing Clarke Keating in. 
Hawthorn’s threepeat must’ve had some disappointing or unexpected losses. 
 

Can’t actually recall single one of those losses in six years of flags 

Viney!

I only caught Seinfeld half way through in the 90s. Now watching every episode and catch glimpses of Fraser Gehrig in Jerry

Like to see them get Swans in finals. 
Swans have good finals record v cats especially since Nick Davis game. 
Swans also have good record v Cats, even at KP. 
In Covid, Swans were happy to use KP as neutral home ground in VIC - not MCG or Telstra

Make that 0-8-1 of non MFC games going our way since round 19.

Destiny in our own hands

Last year we had quake before huge win in Perth. 
Looking for any omen but here in Luzon felt a full minute tremor on Tuesday from Force 7.0 Quake 200 km north. 
Sadly 4 folk died 🙏

Maybe she is a fan of USA VP Kamala Harris, who cackles and laughs when speaking on such frivolous topics as the Afghanistan debacle, the porous southern border, the Ukraine invasion and school shootings.

Agreed - but thankful no “vocal fry”

Random  observation:
Anyone notice Daisy often laughs as she speaks even though she doesn’t find the topic funny.

For example when she was talking about  the unfortunate injury to McNamara (Melbourne’s women side) on SEN with Whately yesterday she broke into laughter as she was breaking the down the bad news.

Not sure if it’s on air nerves or just the way she naturally talks.

 

Woman at work did that. Do CPR on a cardiac arrest and break out with a giggle requesting more adrenaline. 
In front of public. 
And relatives. 
No joke. 

There are few bars down “Walking Street” in Bui Vien, next to District 1. 
I’d walk by night/day before check which ones are showing AFL and enquire. 
 

I’ve kinda been based Vung Tau (2 hours south by ferry or bus) last 8 years - Covid excepted. 
Expat Aussie popn down there and I can recommend Tommy’s Bar. 
Mine host, Rob from Hobart is ex Camberwell, Hawk supporter and mate of Gary Baker. 
 

Currently I’m in Luzon, Philippines and have AFL LIVE on my phone. $40 month - all games. 
They do a weekly subscription as well I think.

Great post totally agree the level of disrespect for the reigning premiers make the mind boggle. A season is like the Melbourne cup. Pace yourself and time your run. Dees are sitting snug behind the leader and will unleash the shackles come September. If they do the collective brain trust of the media will be eating humble pie

Brisbane did that few times. Dog ordinary til R22, bring back Clark Keating. 

Norm Smith coached Fitzroy for three years before us

Not normally a fan of players coming off after a goal but Meilk’s 2 efforts yesterday - chase, then running goal seemed to leave him gassed. 
 

Maybe no energy to run to bench. 
 

Wonder how many games he played alongside Hibbo at Essendon?

Fritta critics take note - watched highlight reel. 
 

Handpass to Kossie goal

Handpass to Jacko goal

Handpass in busy forward pressure play that led soon after to yet another handpass to Kossie (free) goal

Kick to advantage - running Meilkshem goal 

That was in 13 minutes 

The kid arguably booted our most vital goal in 57 years and backed up 28 seconds later. 
 

Gets them back into the next contest quicker and with our fitness …

The venue is a huge influence in this game. I wonder if they get a home game there come finals, as they have been lobbying for some time, anyone know?

They’ll only ever get a home final against a no name side like Freo or GWS. 
Another Vic Club would see 40 000 miss out when it could’ve been at the G. 

The free kick stat was not shown on TV. And Fitzroy were murdered 

Well the Judd deal worked well for Carlton - JK still kicking them 

plus Masten  - both Premiership players

There is fair argument to be made that Carltons twenty plus years in the wilderness is a direct result of thst cheating and the penalties they copped - in particular the draft related ones 

Twenty years not long enough. 1995 needs to be reviewed and possibly stripped from them

Any idea what the Carlton reject thought about the bruise-free football?

 

Made those comments the week of Max’s debut in 2011. 
Long time ago now. 
I haven’t forgotten either - different team now 👌
