The Backyard Charizard

11,426 HaHa.... Just realised I put 426.... How we all miss Mr Smith

I have been a member here for a long time..... I have also seen blokes like you come and go..... I would be interested to know if you could give me the name of the cemetery you were spending time with my mother in????? Huh???? Just a word of advice..... Think before you type! And you gotta earn your stripes here mate , before you can go and make a fool of yourself <_<

I never implied stupidity..... Merely implied that I believe you drool a lot whilst typing your posts I do not need you to tell me your IQ.... It matters little to me.... The way you portray yourself on this forum has given me a more than adequate idea of the type of supporter you are.....

This post has just proven to me that your posts are not worth the drool laden keyboard they are typed on.... Clearly we are all sick of losing.... But to be honest it is not a new feeling for most of us :angry: The fact that you have come out and blatantly abused the $hit out of DB for setting a good example to our young list just makes me feel sorry for you.... The fact that you say most coaches could take our list to finals is an absolute joke! Have you even watched our team this year??? Dean Bailey is one of the best things that has happened to this football club in decades! He is a "take no $hit" kinda guy and if dropping a senior player for a few selfish acts makes him a [censored], then I'm sure Dean won't mind one bit! Not that he gives a rat's toss-bag what you think of him.... Success will come with a culture change.... And DB is going a long way to ensuring this!!

Some players I would rather have before we went for Fevola : Jason Laycock Fabian Deluca Cain Ackland Simon Crawshay Clinton Wolf (Ex Freo) Ryan O'Connor Richard Lounder (No. 1 pick who played 4 games for Richmond in `89) Courtney Johns Luke Molan Ben Doolan James Manson Brett Chalmers Greg Stafford Stuart Wigney Steven Sziller Sudjai Cook Brent Grgic So, after racking my brain for those names, my answer is NO.... Stay away Fevola.... You are a disease! Keep infecting your current club

You could be on to something there RD

The rest of this season will go a long way to deciding Col's future at Melbourne IMHO.... He has the opportunity to really stamp himself as one of the A graders of the competition this year..... If his form continues as it has over the last few weeks, we could be hearing a lot more about our No. 12 in the second half of the season! He has the size, toughness, skill and goal kicking ability to really make a name for himself.... It is there is you want it Col..... It really is! Listen to ya mate Brock and keep up the good attitude....

Also when he was asked to name a few younger players at the club who he thinks have what it takes to really make it at AFL level, the names he gave were great to hear! Jamie Bennell - Great ability to beat his opponent, but also great ability to run the ball out of the backline and deliver to a teammate. Jack Watts - Seemed like he didn't want to harp on too much about our great hope, but said enough to wet the appetite for his future. James Strauss - A hard-nosed player who will run the lines and could play off the half back or half forward and push to play in the midfield. Jack Grimes - Quality player (he obviously really rates this kid) who has leadership written all over him! WooHoo! Also made the point, when asked about our training facilities, that our new training base should be up and running next year and looking forward to having their own gym, recovery baths etc... When asked if it makes a difference when they see clubs like West Coast, Adelaide and Collingwood who have $hitloads of members and money, he replied that money is good but not having as much is no excuse for not reaching your potential.... Money, members and training facilities do not substitute EFFORT and COMMITTMENT!!

Holds himself very well and IMHO he seems to have matured a lot over the last 12 months..... Speaks really well and is obviously starting to finally feel comfortable playing the game at the highest level.... I would have no hesitation in making him a captain in the future after seeing/listening to him this season! Go Dees!

I know..... He is just so casual..... It makes you sick doesn't it!!!!! Great to watch though

Just thought those who haven't seen this video should have a look at it..... And those of us that have already seen.... Just watch it again.... The kid can kick a goal Motlop's Magic Show

Agree 100% Dale Thomas is a tool..... Yes he can kick, but because he gets the attention of 17 yr old girls they throw his head up at every opportunity.... Imagine what they would do if Pendelbury had beautiful golden locks?!?!?!?!?! (10x better footballer)

I was 9 years old in '87.... I remember my father taking me to Footscray for the last home 'n away match of the season.... With our finals chances on the line the boys got up and won.... I just remember my father crying and holding me up in the air screaming "We did it boy, we f***ing did it!!".... It was then that I realised how much pain so many Dees supporters had been feeling since '64 My Dad and I attended the drubbing that we gave North Melbourne.... I remember running around the backyard for the next week kicking the footy to myself.... "Brett Lovett handballs to Stretch, Stretch takes 2 bounces down the wing and kicks it to the leading Spalding who takes a huge grab at CHF. Spalding goes BANG and finds the leading Robbie Flower who runs around the man on the mark and kicks a goal" (Great memories ) Then the next time I went to the football was a day I will never, ever forget! I remember standing on the seat at Waverley.... "Booo Boooo Boooooo" as Gary F'kenara took his kick.... After he had kicked it, I remember looking up at my old man who was actually crying.... The first time I had seen my father cry.... I joined in and we stood there for what felt like an eternity just holding each other in what was a moment that will last with me till I die I remember on the way home in the car and Dad turned around to me and said "We would've beaten Carlton next week!" From that day on I have hated Hawthorn! It is actually quite emotional even now, remembering that finals series..... God I love our football club!! Go Dees!!

APS Website.... For all your School footy results/fixtures

Very nice work..... Maybe they could give Dunny the flush

It is good to see a man who obviously enjoys his job so much that he never wants to leave Any edge is a sharp edge when it comes to the opposition

Does that mean I have to boycott when we eventually play GC17 and West Sydney?!?!?! Two of the worst ideas in history..... Add Sunday Twilight matches and you have a trifecta of poor form.... Shame on you Vlad..... Shame on you!

Who will hopefully tear the Pies a new ar$ehole on QB at the MCG.....

Gerard Healy is a bloody [censored]..... Everyone knows that until he admits to the fact that he is developing a serious "Friar Tuck" hairstyle and does a "Yeah-Yeah" ad, no one will take him seriously! Tool of the Year/Decade

Now THAT is funny! :D

You can't be serious?!?!?!?!?! Have you not felt enough pain?!?!?!?! I am sick of losing..... Let's win some F%^#ing games next year!!!! Winning culture = Happy Players = Happy Members = Happy Bank Account = Some F'ing Respect!!!!

A fitting tribute to a legend of the game!

Would not argue a trial of this change in a few weeks if Dunny's form doesn't improve.... Cannot question Bell's effort and courage, it is just the awareness that I have a problem with (or lack of)
