Just announced on SBS during an ad break while they were showing a Slovakian soap opera.

Who knows? He might straighten us up!

Melbourne is at least consistent. We’re consistently bad unlike Essendon and North who are [censored] one week and perfect the next.

With your eyes closed.

Not having Mason Cox will improve the Pies.

So Jake Lever left the ground injured but came back. It was apparently a rolled ankle and not what we thought. However, in the tradition of the club’s handling of injured players, expect:- 1. No mention in the club injury report on Tuesday night of Jake Lever, and 2. An article on the club website on Thursday afternoon entitled - “Lever ruled out for 2019 with toe injury”.

You know it’s tough when this happens ...

This was issued on Tuesday but by selection on Thursday we have N Jetta, T Smith and C Maynard not playing at the weekend.

Damn ... he went to St Kilda? I was wondering what happened to him.

Quite right - and we needed the 4 points at the time too!

What?

Massive contribution by this bozo today -

As a life long Rampage fan, I have to confess that I shed a little tear when the 2019 champions trophy was held aloft. To know that a bloke like Fritta has dedicated hours and hours of his lifeblood and soul to the cause had me swelling with pride, especially after watching him win the rock, paper, scissors in the second home game. I have to admit that I got drunk after the game and only woke up now outside a shopfront in Bourke Street, near someone resembling BBO who was reeking of methylated spirits and snoring his head off. I must say I did feel sad for Nev who fate cruelly decreed would be denied from making the Deadly line up due to injury. The roars of the crowd are still ringing through my ears.

No Bayley Fritsch, no Melbourne.

If they had the same conference system back in the day when Mark Neeld was coaching us, we would have been a chance to make the finals.

Mr. Clayton Oliver

I guess this definitely rules him out of the AFLX and JLT.

Port Adelaide : It’s not cocaine. Me: It’s not a woman’s breast.

I’m not even going to start with the second goalkicker.

First goal of the season to Newman!
