whatwhat say what

alan johnson on the wing is who he reminds me of the most

i really hope we don't debut a player as a sub, ever

hate it when other teams do that and we're better than that

amazed neal-bullen isn't up there

swans' supporter mate reckons heyward is fritsch-like

i told him he's about as 1/4 as good as fritta

you forgot the 'crypto.com' at the start of the thread title

the baggers chase has been on since last year

good to see we're keen - very, very good player

Fair comment.

I'm the time bandit. I appreciate the feedback and will take on board (genuinely, ie not being facetious).

the only way i would accept half the length being acceptable is if it was an hour a day

it's the best footy-focused podcast out there

yes, it's specific to the dees, but the information imparted within is extraordinarily detailed

i would happily listen to y'all cover the competition as a whole and not just melbourne as a focus

good ol adrian

such a nice chap

brisbane will always be the bears that feasted on the rotten corpse of ol' fitzroy

disgusting state of affairs

ross oakley...scum

it's almost like they're a) not professional ii) have barely any training and 3) are never held to account

Really?!  I didn’t r realise that.

That is much more informative and interesting than the OP!

 

i thought it just required three consecutive dots?

obviously op got it all wrong with four, either way...

from first gogol search result (and thus, the only one that anyone will pay attention to):

turner was terrific in the final round against the bloods at the scg and him being dropped for the final the fortnight later was a bit of a surprise

i'm very confident he will be a very important player for us going forward

listen at 2x speed and you barely notice um

Do my ears deceive me?!!!

Gerard Healy currently giving praise to Melbourne's talent finders for drafting Oliver, Trac and partic for finding McVee (said Juddy is just about the best kick in the league) and for trading for Lever and May

Though he did give a levelling backhander for picking Weid above Curnow and McKay

Maybe Gerard might even don a red n blue scarf if we make the GF, being Demon alumni and all. Won't hold my breath, though

not if it's against his beloved bloods he won't

I went to Sunday morning training session.I have been to a few sessions over the pre-season, but this time l when Max came onto the field, l couldn’t believe how big he is.Not just tall but his overall body size. What a magnificent specimen.

my wife and son saw him at the local cannings

they had the same reaction - "he's HUGE"

disappointingly, they reported that george in his arms looks like a normal sized child for his age...disappointing

heeney just about lapping the field

For what it's worth Kane Cornes today while commenting on the football said he would be surprised if Petty stayed at Melbourne.

he said the same about pickett this time last year too

Adelaide may have to cough up a top 5 pick for him. They may not be willing. Good chance for us to put forward a 4-5 year contract and show our commitment and belief in him.

two first round picks please - one for every premiership he'll have at the mfc at the end of 2024

If the umpire didn't hear so be it he only gives decisions on what they see or hear or do we now just say that if a player says he touched it it must be so.  Stop blaming umpires for everything it's a damm hard job,  players make more mistakes than umpires during the game yet all supporters can say it's the umpires fault we lost the game.

No game with officiating officials is not perfect.

i can't think of another 'professional' league where the 'officiating officials' are part-timers

how do you accordingly hold them to account? in the afl, they don't

When is Mac Andrew coming home?

he's looking the goods as a tall defender

if i was in charge of the peptides, i'd let McGrath go as a free agent at the end of the year if you got a band 1 compo pick for him

pros:
- he is clearly a leader around the club
- he speaks will in the media

cons:
- if he's a leader, what does it say about their leadership?
- he can't play midfield (cos he's too slow)
- he's not the #1 rebound defender (that's martin)
- he's arguably not their #2 rebound defender (that's laverde)
- he's not 'smart' enough to play on the #1 small forward (rioli tore him to shreds in the first half, which was all i saw)

so is he really worth keeping given he's probably going to want to be paid like a #1 pick expects to be?

Robbos just an average bloke with alcoholic dementia,doing an average job,for an average paper and an average radio station and tv show with a below average IQ and hygeine regimen.I actually tip my hat to the poor c.nt.He's the highest achieving slob we've had in Australia since Sir Les Patterson and he isn't even a parody.

Wigg before ANB was a bald selection

it's a bit disingenuous tho - forgarty and wigg were both 'local products'

I don’t think so Demonstrrative I think that only applied to JJ because he was drafted and then put on the Rookie List, once he was elevated back to senior list ha became UFA at  the end of his contract.

and the most annoying thing is that basically doesn't apply any more

we got stuffed by an arbitrary rule change that has since changed, again

Salem will not play midfield all year does not have the tank for that he would blow out just like Kossie, Salem is only good for short bursts he foes not get involved enough for midfield.

he was set for midfield for the season prior to bowey being broken
