  1. Hmm, not sure about that. In my mind, the X factor belongs to very special players, and there are only a few of them. There is room for good, solid team players, the ones who notch up 200 games and opposition supporters have no idea who they are. In fact, I'd love to have a few of that type right now.
  2. Is Blake Howes being played in the right position? Maybe he's not a backman, but better suited elsewhere?
  3. I might have dreamt it, but didn't we used to be good? Once upon a time?
  4. Can you show me the way to Fumbletown?
  5. Like last week, they're walking it out of the centre.
  6. Free kick goals are killers.
  7. I have a radical, pipe dream suggestion: Jack Viney to become our lockdown defender on opposition small forwards. Hear me out. This could address two problems. 1. We lack a small defender for this role and his tenacity could work here . 2. JV is one of the main culprits in bombing into the forward line, a regular cause of turnovers. I respect JV immensely, and I know that this suggestion is far fetched. But, still ...
  8. On the escalator to Level 4 of the Olympic Stand I always admire the old photo of the game's founders, Wills and Harrison. Some serious biceps on Harrison. I bet he lifted.
  9. It's a grey day, the low clouds glowering over the MCG as if they're unhappy with the rejigged game plan the Demons are playing.
  10. True, but that is a strangely exact estimate.
  11. I would have preferred it if we'd won.

    Set shot kicking. I know this is a well worn tune but when Sparrow missed that one in the first couple of minutes, pretty much straight in front, it was a taste of things to come.

    What did you think of the Irish jig after each goal? Personally, I would have liked it one more time because that would have meant we won.
  14. Yep. I don't hear 'honourable'. All I hear is 'loss'.
  15. Agreed.
  16. I could be wrong, but I counted seven set shots with a total outcome of 1.1.

    4 set shots for goal. 0 goals.

    They're hoovering up ground balls.
  19. I had to see a wrist surgeon about an operation recently and I asked about rehab. When she said, 'Four to six weeks' a chill went through me.
  20. We're living in a simulation.
  21. I'm ahead of the times. I've had my Lego avatar for many years.
  22. Right. Next year we have our Match Sim/Practice Match the day BEFORE SSP cut off.
  23. 'The action of estimating as worthless' as in 'I floccinaucinihilipificate Collingwood and all it stands for'.
  24. Ah, Match Day Thread, how I've missed you!
  25. Could help to fill a gap we've had since Harmes left and we lost Angus😪.
