    question: As an AFL Member with club support, does that mean I am part of the "competing club" category on the tuesday, or afl members?

    anyone criticises spargo again I'll dox them.

    that quarter was okay i guess

    Melksham okay? GWS is bruise free and want the easy transition. Give it to them. Once the ball gets to a contest they are average.

    lol you're basing a bad habit on experience...these are tough to break and the kid is built and thinks like a line breaker, not someone who moves back on the mark to fulfil your need for a crispy clean pass. Again, you're just being trivial here.

    Geelong with the fixturing equivalent of a reach-around leading into finals. Will go into the EF without having been challenged for 4 weeks. We will absolutely smash them.
  10. Every team has feral supporters. I'd classify the type of feral like this: Refined feral (likely to have a wine and some cheese pre-game, and criticise someone's earning capacity) Melbourne Adelaide Fitzroy/Brisbane Self-important feral (thinks they're better placed in society than they actually are) North Melbourne Port Working class, and weirdly humble feral (will abuse you but then apologise and say, "Nah you're alright you're my second favourite team") Bulldogs Living in stolen cars feral (can be found at your local Magistrates Court) St Kilda CFMEU-brand and high vis-wearing feral (will abuse you simply for existing) Collingwood Calls-in-sick-every-Monday feral (drinks. a lot.) Richmond Loves smell of own farts feral (came from money and lives in a nice suburb but lives paycheck to paycheck) Hawthorn Essendon Doesn't-realise-they're-feral feral (thinks drinking an espresso at Brunetti makes them better than you) Carlton Isolated feral (confused when they visit Melbourne and shops are still open past 4pm) West Coast Freo Academic feral (unnecessarily wears reading glasses) Sydney Racist, smells like cow dung, entire wardrobe from K-Mart feral Geelong

    Now at 130.
  13. praha replied to Chook's post in a topic in Melbourne Demons
    Incorrect. Geelong is likely to win, therefore if Port were to win by 150 and we were to lose by 150, they'd have come in for us. It went right down to the wire.
  14. Is he the right guy though?
  15. praha replied to Chook's post in a topic in Melbourne Demons
    He was also one of the lowest ranked players on the field. His career is running on fumes now unfortunately. This will be his last contract.
  16. I also like JKH and see a lot of Jetta in him. Much like Oscar 24 months ago (and even Petracca by some here), the criticism is rife, but I can sense mature heads who with time, experience and patience will come good. All it takes is a bit of confidence. Jetta was cooked at the end of 2013.
  17. A lot may disagree but I really like the patience afforded to Spargo. He is a smart player that works hard and does the non negotiables. Doesn't shy away from the contest and doesn't appear intimidated by pressure and big crowds like Garlett does.

    I do find it interesting with the media pumping up Richmond this week with they're inclusions. IMO even without Prestia and Cotchin they would still be healthily in line to win the flag because they get such a consistent team performance.

    lol you could have said the same of Ablett Jnr in his first 3-4 years in the league, or even now. Under the radar for most of the game and then kicks into a gear. Agreed he doesn't do it enough but I feel you're just finding reasons to criticise a kid that has only just kicked over 50 games.

    He was very good in the last 15 minutes. It's why we drafted him. Those performances win games. He, Oliver, Harmes, Salem and Gawn all went to another level when the Eagles hit the front.
  21. TBH, I would much rather avoid Richmond until a GF if we were to make it. Playing them the first week and losing still stands having to play 4 finals. And I really want to see us smash Geelong for once. If of course we beat GWS this week.
  22. I remember going into the season, we were Victoria's best chance to bring the flag back home. According to The Age. Went into the Saints game full of confidence. We were awful. Lost the first 9, beat Adelaide and the Pies, and then got smacked by bottom placed Richmond, who hadn't won a game. Daniher was done. Genuinely thought we had the right foundations in 2010. In hindsight it is no surprise we crumbled as badly as we did. What terrible recruiting. Undoubtedly we have the best young core that we've had in my time supporting the club (28 years). In the 90s and 2000s we were led by an older brigade. On the weekend, Oliver, Harmes, Petracca, Kent, Salem, Hannan and Melksham got us over the line. Some good leadership by Jones Lewis and Gawn in the final 10 minutes as well. But it was the young core.
  23. Introduced to the classic '87 season by default given I was too young to be involved or remember. My house had a VHS of each final (official VFL 'Name A Game'), as well as a recorded copy of the "replay" of the Bulldogs game on...I think it was ABC? Just the last 10 minutes or so. The full game is on YouTube now but I remember watching the matches growing up in the 90s thinking "WOW The game has changed so much!". Looking back on it now, I can finally appreciate the joy of supporters on the day. In the 90s and 2000s I saw quite a bit of finals action, 90, 91, 94 and 98 were great, fun years. Then you had the 2000s as well. But the last decade has been brutal and I didn't really dawn on me how long we've been a non-factor until I started watching random highlights from 2010 and 2011 earlier this week, and then saw the 2008 comeback against Freo pop up in my "RECOMMEND" section. That match feels like yesterday but was so, sooooo long ago.

    Ideally: Sydney to beat Hawthorn. Melbourne to beat GWS. This would set up a Richmond v Sydney, and Melbourne v Geelong in the first week. Provided Richmond get the job done, and we do against Geelong, it would pit us against Sydney at the SCG, an ideal scenario imo. Get the job done there, and this would set us up for a Prelim matchup vs WC in Perth, or the Pies at the MCG. IMO, the best case scenario would be to avoid Richmond at the MCG, and Hawthorn as well. EDIT: obvs we'd have to play Richmond at the MCG at some point, which just prefer it to be in the GF.
