Rod Grinter Riot Squad

Never said pressure was not there. Great win, but we can do better

Thought we were well below our best, but got a deserved win. Need to play at our potential, better than tonight to beat Meth Coast

We played average and won, many players down on what they can do, no excuses no, we got our get of jail free card, need all to lift, because if we do,we can break the curse

I would hate to see us trade for him, but can’t say I begrudge the kid for leaving a club that was a joke to set himself up for life on a crazy good deal. If our football department thought he would make us better, I would back them in

While I understand your point, sadly umpiring can make a huge difference, our game against Port being a great example.

So Argo out Bright future, but not this year

ANB was good, he would have been very good if he took his chances

Which was the case in ‘87

Just showed Jack and Chunk walking down to rooms, brilliant

No. We are Melbourne, a sleeping giant, those that were there in 87 understand

His first quarter was his best of his short career. Gun

Talking to the old man, the eyes welled up, we cut the conversation short, to watch the boys sing the song

Awesome pressure, if we learn to convert, we CAN go all the Way

Surely you are joking?

This is such an important, relevant comment to me. Playing copycat may pinch you a flag, doing something different and successfully can snag you more than one. I can imagine a triangular set up, for example, Weid in goal, TMac and Hoges as high half forwards and rotate the triangle, would be a nightmare for opposition coaches

We need a back up ruckman, haven’t seen much of Preuss, but what little I have seen was good. That said, I can’t understand why he would come to us, as he must know he is coming to play for Casey unless big Max gets injured

It isn’t often 3 big Tals can work, but with our three, I think it can. All of them have fantastic aerobic capacity, Weed doing duties as back up ruck and the A’s deepest forward, Hodges and Tmac roaming. Yes, they will need that connection not many have, but if they click, they will be very hard to stop

Thanks Bernie. I hope, if you want, to see you stick around in a coaching role.

For those interested, post 612 says: ”Sam Mclure on SEN confirmed Freo are not in race for Mcgovern as they are concentrating on a Hogan offer. Grain of salt, but there seems to be momentum building in the rumour”

Except my original post was meant to say, Brayshaw and their first round pick.

Over-rated player

You and anyone else in a similar situation should invoice Ticketmaster for lost income due to gross incompetence. if anyone could mock up a genuine invoice that people could enter their details and send it to them (and the media) I would love to see their response, this is BS and I feel for all of you that got screwed over today

Win all three, we finish third.

Alright, I feel dirty even putting this out there but..... Make a big play for Lynch, can’t see GC matching the bid, pick 3 better than what they will get IMO if Lynch chose to come to us. Then trade Hogan (who I love and this is the only scenario I would even consider trading him) to Fred for say, Andrew Brayshaw. If we could make it happen, then it would be hard not to do it. Need to wash my mouth out with soap now....

Congratulations. there have been many ridiculous posts this year, some in this thread, but this one is going to take something miraculous to not win the worst post of the year award.
