    Now Wrecker....sorry my friend you'll just have to go right back to the beginning ( its a very good place to start ?) . There's no way to fully appreciate the madness insanity drivel illumination insight pixelated-profanities humour, without so

    If we need new posters...they will manifest. Bananas You see...if you bold it.....they will come
  6. Thanks for having absolutely no understanding of the notion described. Bless you. Indeed there is NO curse in the sense of anything resembling 3 witches at Halloween or a Haitian Voodoo ceremony. The curse as it were is simply the result of our endeavours to date since the great man left the club. But in effect we have been 'cursed' by abandoning the very thing that made us great. Those elements are now being re-instated. They are our new 'rule of club" It is no accident that we are becoming more successful by being more like Norm...None what so ever. ( imho ) edit: need to further explain.
  7. I know its stretching things....but some recurring themes.... First Australian ( indigenous ) .. Oldest known peoples on earth First Aussie FootyClub Melb.....Aussie Rules.....Oldest documented football code in world First recorded game....played by Melbourne Grammar....same school May ends up at !! First Indigenous AFL capt. Bought his Mum a house. Its been impressed upon me , especially in the last week that this club, our club, is a club defined ( now ) by behaviours. It will go to some length to frame many of the ( recent ) actions by the MFC and how we intend to do business on, and off, the field. More and more as I see the club re-emerge it occurs to me we are far from being cursed by Norm Smith , we are being guided by him. It's taken this long to get to the core of who and what we are again. This lad, can't wait to put the jumper on and do it proud. I like this go Dees
  8. There's a number of things which I must confess im really impressed by at the moment with the MFC. Despite the club rhetoric ( aka public spin for fast-fooders ) there was to Freddy and all of his game-observant footy mates a glaring deficiency in our defence. Ill give Oscar his due, he did his role quite well...but there was another role which we had no one for. And there not being a fully conscripted defence opened us up. When we bled we haemorrhaged ..badly for 4-6 goals at a time. Game killers So three things in this instance: Identifying, the role Identifying a player Getting said player Three for three !!!
  9. already in the gym....he's keen as Mustard... First real opportunity to get some work into his legs too.
  10. Jaded's comment had a context. One you plainly ignored or dont get. I.e The reference was to his Football. He IS after an AFL player of particular ability ( the realisation is another thing ). In that light he has decided he'd rather play footy at "home" with some "mates" in front of 'family" yep they're the three things I always look for in an elite player. The absolute irony is that the whole idea of ( Mfc ) Esprit de Corps IS ...playing with mates, who are your football family and the MCG is HOME. So his priorities are his and his in kind, but for us they're threes strikes he's out.
  11. Please explain your version of reality...then I will mine.
  12. I reckon in about 2 years we'll look back and think . The Dees were geniuses. Edit..I already do. Well done
  13. A few changed tunes along the way. That's fine. Jesse's happy enough.. I'm happy enough. All good
  14. He's knows jack.....( and not any player )
  15. That was NEVER happening. You see that now ? He was ALWAYS going... In some respects he'd been gone for a while. Such is life. We'll ( MFC) be fine.
  16. There's a sea out there. It's a mass of perceptions , of interpretation , of half descriptions. Careful where you fish .
  17. The only angst anyone will have is of their own creation. The positive is we are Melbourne. ... And everyone else isn't. Am looking forward to seeing our noobs in red and blue. What others do ... . isn't us.
  18. There's a very apt expression for all of this perhaps... That was then, this is now. What is ... is Can't wait to beat Fremantle again....but simply because they are just another team....and I prefer winning. This bloke that's gone ..just one of hundreds we play against. Go Dees
  19. Boo hoo
  20. I get that ..but May fills a void.. Preuss is a backup icing on the cake. We would still play ok without Preuss... We're back to so-so down back without May.
