think I might indulge actually....where's the Capt Morgan ???

Ok heres the thing. this thread was created to be a refuge from mentioning HWSNBN...and comfort lounge away from all the bullshlt. Hnece it's name I propose we have a moratorium on mentioning thing anything about the MFC as there's no bigger can of bullshlt that it right atm !! Hows the banana crops going ??

I know what i should expect. I know what id like to expect to happen. And yet I don't expect anything. It's MELBOURNE. I'm not being negative, pessimistic, mfcss or "season's stuffed hangover" when i just think if they didn't understand causecand effect this year why will they next ? None of this lot seem to get it. We're all hype and fluff and the clubs motto ought to be "et faciam dies unus" .. Will do it one day...i.e...The Gunnas !! I seriously don't expect anything from us anymore, again, anytime soon. 14-15 wins would be nice. A shiny Jag in the drive would be nice too. I just don't expect it. I'll just watch. NO expectations. I'm tired of being Charlie Brown.

Had we made it you'd have been off to Sydney...an equally waste of time as you suggest. A lot of butchering on Sat. It was hard to watch.

I know its a Melb thing, brothers , but is it about sets or best fit/available ?

Adelaide aren't in the box seat here perhaps !

I have nothing to base this upon. I'm wondering who's more interested in whom ? Who instigated what ? ?

I don't think in the context of this discussion that many over-rate Frosty. In the main Id think most would accept that he's still a bit raw, still more potential than 'delivered' but that all in all he's shown promise combined with a touch of verve. He's not there by a long shot.. but he might get there. Then you have Lever, who has indeed "arrived" and all things equal can only get better still. If we are to land Lever what is the currency to do so ? Most folk here , myself included, think Frosty might be part of that. If so..such is life, if not...such is life

Dee-licious i was accused elsewhere of dabbling in sense; you however just served up a meal of it. As always it's about list improvement and the means and wherewithal to do so. That we've had a sort of history with Lever is very relevant. If he turns around to the Crows and says he's on the bus (sts) to Aami park ..get it done..then we only need to requate with something acceptable, not necessarily what Adelaide might really want. That seems to be the go these days.

We all love a happy ending ( to a good story )

No, no...all chance frittered away

You have no idea how spooky that is. Driving past a week or so ago i laughed to wife how dodgy that place looked/sounded. She's on a road trip with her three sisters but as it happens had just sent through a link to that article via messenger. How bizarre lol

Many things to like about this . Can't see it happen, but i like it.

Vote for Pig ... or not... http://www.afl.com.au/news/2017-08-22/afl-fan-awards-vote-for-best-defender

We seem to be everyone's destination club now

well...if he joins us, let's hope not and if he doesn't...let's hope so !!

Yes. He's in a better side. Conversely the side is better for him being in it. The comparison is there because quite simply it is. It's been part of this discussion for along while and is nothing new. Part of the Omac critique over the journey was to compare him to the likes of Lever even before it seemed a possibility that Lever may indeed be on our radar and a possible get. At this point it gained another dimension. It would , I agree , be more than likely that Omac will develop into a role somewhat augmented than the one he is charged with currently. He sort of needs to. Lever is already quite accomplished. I see no reason why he would plateau.

Possibly a little too succinctly. STMJ ..whilst possibly overstating his position is right to suggest its not just better...but more a case of chalk and cheese. That's all

That is fair appraisal Its also fair actually to acknowledge that these two are particularly comparable.

Exactly. I alluded to it earlier. Facts are facts As is the demonstrated bias at certain locations. It's not footy mythology, it's real. It happens and it shouldn't.

A lot of Roswell...did actually happen. Some trimmings a bit fanciful but at the heart of of the Gov was lying through its arse. Very quaint if somewhat kitsch museum lol. Some figures regarding umpiring are worrisome. That just is. The figures for the Dees are actually the MOST worrisome. Dont let the facts destroy your patronising dismissive though.

Yeah........

RIP Harry....Al things being equal...you could umpire a game fairly. Seems a long lost talent

Gee I don't know. This thread is supposed to be salvation from HWCBN and Bullshlt. This time of year nearly all talk re footy and MFC turns to BS ( more so than usual ) Nowhere to relax now

My opinion on Carey. He did what was required. Someone had a word in his ear and acted on it. Do I buy it. Not ONE bit. Some very interesting aspects to this one
