Fox Footy playing 2017 Melb Hawks. Scores level half way through the last. We looked ok, but Gee there’s a lot of players not in our current team for various reasons. Watts, Bugg, Pedo, JKH, Jeffy, Bernie, Jesse, Hunt, Wagner. And it was only last year, and we thought that side was pretty good at the time.

I might be one out, but I really loved the deep inky blue/black of the 160 jumper. Maybe without the fiddly overlaid text though.

Out: Traditional strip In: Royal Blue OK I know we could wear the navy, but as the “away” team do you think we’ll mix it up for merch sales? Red back is another possibility; even indigenous or 160 year??? ps would love to see indigenous

Just taken the $41 for the Norm Smith. To to my mind that’s much better value than the current $10 to win the flag. For us to win it, it would demand a big game from Max, so it’s almost the same bet with four times the payoff. Also, he’s that dominant he could win the medal in a losing side; even better value.

I know it doesn't get him to WA,, but would we consider a straight trade with Gold Coast for Steven May, who now need a key forward to replace Lynch. Or more likely, a three club deal involving Freo in some way.

This.

So it turns out our drought-breaking, finals-securing win was the 90+ point win over Gold Coast two weeks ago. Sure didn't feel like it at the time.

And our then-Great White Hope Brock MacLean, after being BOG in the EF, had hurt his foot(!!!) by quarter time and was pretty much done for half the season. Robbo did kick a goal while lying flat on his back, though.

One under-rated aspect of Robbie’s game, and where he’s currently got Oliver covered , was his aerial skill. Unfortunately because Melbourne games rarely got TV coverage (and if they did 10 minutes of one-camera coverage) there’s only a few videos of a couple of famous Robbie high marks. But he took them most weeks, and many better than those on video. He was fearless and sublimely skillful overhead, winning contests he had no right to even get to. Unfortunately this part of his game is not documented nearly well enough. Not a crash the contest beast, but a cat-like leap and balance. There’s not a player past or present that readily comes to mind to compare him to.

What really annoys me is all the times they’re just replaying the set shot for goal; not the play prior that led to the shot. Is this the most un-useful thing you can replay?

This looks like one of those internet gags where you start a sentence and then finish it through your phone’s predictive text

And, by the way, two years in a row beating Adelaide in Adelaide and West Coast in Perth!

Trenners now and James Macdonald playing for the Giants are the only times I've felt really positive to ex Demons still playing. Go well Jack.

For those too young to recall, the clear sentiment on here around 2011/12, when we applied, was that if Melbourne of that era didn't qualify for a priority pick, no-one ever would. So just get rid of the pretence of having them. Then Brisbane, who'd played finals only a few years before, got given one the following year.

Actually in Beginners All-purpose Symbolic Instructional Code...which ran on C64 just as well as my Tandy TRS-80

And Junior with GWS, briefly.

No problems at all. I should have been clearer too! I am worried that there's more going on here though. I've heard thyroid conditions can impeded a person's aerobic capacity for a long, long time.

I didn't say "football related injury". Perhaps I should have said illness.

And we have a winner.

Unless his injury prognosis is worse than the Club is letting on.

So was Buddy...

Maybe we can offer them Salem and Tyson. Oh, wait...

Here's another nice little sideline. WADA rules also require that any games played whilst effectively under a "provisional suspension" do not count. As the WADA ban was backdated to the start of 2015 (effectively giving the players a 12 month "discount"), all games played in 2015 will now no longer be included in players' games tally, which means, the cheating sniper Dustbin Fletcher goes under 400 games played!
