Carlton last won a flag in 1995, Essendon in 2000. They aren't powerhouses anymore. And one is a drug cheating collection of reprobates

PJ has been the recruit of the decade.

Because Essendon has been so successful? Sorry DL it bulldust. Carlton has 6 night games on FTA I believe. People should stop sprouting that stuff and complain more about the short shrift we get.

And they finished second, played in a GF and lost by 4 points?

One cliche does not a summer make....

I didn't buy a membership so I could specifically see Date Mature Ladies ads......

Wow. Comprehensive study. Well done. Only skimmed it - not doing it justice as it needs a proper read!

Its a marathon not a sprint. Need to perform well. We should win but if we perform well and lose its not the end of the world.

He said Ablett would play

Not all from 2008 but I still laugh (well maybe laugh isn't the right word) that Port have our 1, 2 and 4 pick....

Danger won't play. Spoke to snr Geelong person today. Said they would be mad to play him if there was the smallest chance he does it badly and misses 6.

Fair point. It was a class goal and plenty of others would have fluffed it. No one doubts Watts has class skills.

This is what happens when you don't have leadership at the club. The club failed collectively as we know but imagine Cpts Trengove and Grimes telling Max and others to pull their head and work harder. Un-fricken-believeable we made such a poor decision to appoint those two but just as bad is the fact there was no-one else to lead.

So, according to Caro there were reports that 14 players individually contacted the union (AFLPA). But we were told that not 1 essendon player contacted the club doctor, the AFLPA, ASADA , their wives, girlfriends, player managers, parents and other family members etc about a 'black ops' secret drug programme involving tens of thousands of injections offsite, waiver forms and including exotic substances like calves blood etc. Yeah, it makes sense. Sure it does,

I agree. I don't want to waste another 9 years on the next great white hope.

Best return from Jack in a real game? 4 goals You'd be the kind of person still waiting for Col Sylvia to have a good pre-season.....

I think this is a fake news story about Fake news. It smells....

FWIW in 2017 not ONE captain said that Richmond would even make the eight yet win a flag. https://www.foxsports.com.au/afl/live-coverage-all-the-updates-and-reactions-from-the-2017-afl-captains-day-at-the-mcg/news-story/57eeb7c170e9434050f8850a52db088c Meh...

FFS Jack was told on many occasions what was expected of him. He failed to adhere to the standards of training, playing and rehab that the club wanted. He drop himself for one game you will recall. Unheard of. He was also dropped after he had played 150 games. Where else does that happen to a player in the prime of his career? If you have players that won't play the way the club/coach want you to don't act surprised when they are booted out. You can never say the club didn't try to get the best out of Jack. Get over it move on.

Todd has some personal non-negotiables about player habits and work ethic. He wasn't enamoured with Stef Martin a few years back. Watts would have frustrated the daylights out of Viney.

It's not about bollards and speed it's about cars packed with explosives. Last year they banned motorcycles parking on the concourse outside the members for that reason....

I believe he is the longest survivor with MND.....

Good to see that government exhortations that terrorism won't change our life is being adhered to......... What's next? No cars in the CBD? Thanks Osama.

Not sure if this has been written elsewhere but I read a line that warmed the heart re Roos. "This is my fourth year back in Melbourne, I grew up in Melbourne, I barrack for Melbourne, go to Melbourne games with a Melbourne scarf on when I’m not working....."

It's no mystery. The club didn't want Watts. They took what they could. Don't beat yourself up. Players come and go all the time. We have 5 players playing from rd 1 2014 in our best 22.. It is nobody's fault other than Watts.
