thanks for the updates! good work mate! keep them coming!!

also from the same thread

3.6.24 to Geelong 1.1.7 at QT.

Newton 2, Robbo 1.

Cheney is a gun.

from a big footy thread

2's win 19.16.130 to 12.9.81. Preston got a couple late to keep it respectable.

I only saw 2nd half, so wait for the coaches report but Strauss didn't get an enormous lot of it running off hb but looked good when he did. Zomer kicked a couple but doesn't do much to set him apart from the other forward line contenders, and Wheatley was good but clearly nowhere near 100% fitness.

6. Jamar

5. Rivers

4. McLean

3. Frawley

2. Whelan

1. Moloney

possible link for tonights game!! (for people who dont have foxtel like me!)

http://www.myp2p.eu/broadcast.php?matchid=...amp;part=sports

looks like it might have a password and down the page it says code=sirengate

hopefully it works! enjoy!

Great report!! a very good read indeed! thanks mate!!

^ Yeah, I think 'Hutchy' is a decent media performer.

I don't particularly like his false bravado though, and I find his Footy Classifieds persona grating.

I find it odd that you think it's strange people would want to know what the lass looks like after a thread was created to point out she's good-looking.

I'd understand if the thread was created after someone spotted her out and about, but her identity/image is hardly a secret - it was broadcast on national television.

I'd also understand if you had an issue along the lines of objectifying her, but given your reply - 'Barts !!! BLOODY HELL' - it seems you don't, so your position seems inconsistent.

but its hard to produce a picture out of no where? she isnt exactly a famous celebrity we can just search in google images and she will come up? they just ran into her in street talk and she mentioned her boyfriend was a footy player.. they asked her who it was.. and she said Barts!

sorry for the confusion! i cant even remember her name to search it!

would love to smash the pies then watch them cry again

Missed it. What happened?

for those who missed the richo v huchy segment last night

enjoy!!

GAA minors is the premier under 18 competition in Ireland, basically the TAC Cup. Cribbin is starring for one of the best teams in that competition.

that sounds awesome! so if he impresses ..we might be able to pick him up in the pre draft or something end of the year?

WT I missed it. Am trying to do some work so I want to know. DD why do you try and belittle everyone?

The title clearly states what the thread is about so if you dont think your going to like it dont click the link. Pretty simple really.

Not only people from the Melb metro area read this site and coverage of the footy show in Northern states is not so good.

I didnt see it so I really appreciate it. It was good to hear how Brock went last week also as I couldnt catch the show.

Thanks fellas!!!!

Missed it. What happened?

it kind of related to last weeks show where hutchy reported on the terry wallace meeting! he was in all of the players faces as they left the meeting, etc and i dont think they appreciated it! well richo certainly didnt haha

Incase you had not noticed mate at least 300,000 of us in the Melbourne Metro Area watch the show every week and have done since its inception. Therefore the chances are pretty good that we did se it, but thanks for letting us know anyway. If there are any more pearls of wisdom that you wish to send our please feel free to fire away. You could even make it about football to be really daring.

well done buddy

Bartram, batting well above your average there son!

"We met on myspace"!!! HA Bart will be copping it for that you'd reckon.

Miller and Bartram, well played chaps!

yeh the myspace thing is funny as! nice work bartram!!

anyone else see street talk? They ran into Clints girlfriend! wow!!

first miller, now bartram... the demon boys do well for themselves!!

also on a side note.. how good is richo v hutchy.. would love to see backstage footage of that!!

hey guys this leads me to a question. I don't have foxtel and whenever I go to watch some of the game on the internet via the afl website, it never works. Itsalways lagging, buffering, glitching and freezing. Is there any IT guru's out there that can possibly turn those videos into a simple format like youtube? I still haven't seen the melbourne hawthorn game and I particularly want to see Stefan Martins goal in the last quarter but i cant. so frustrating!

i dont know if you have tried.. but BigFooty usually post where the stream is! (if there is a stream)

Either justin.tv or usteam seem to be the most popular

just before the game try this link and usually if a channel is 'live' it will appear..

http://www.justin.tv/search?q=afl

or click on the 'all channels' section on the above link (http://www.justin.tv/search?section=allbroadcasters&q=afl) and you can see which games might be scheduled... if you click that link you can see 'carlton v west coast' is already there.. so once that game is finished the person streaming might change it to the dees game for saturday!

if you havent used the site before it is similar to youtube where you can maximise the video window... some streams are in a higher res which of course means you will need faster internet to run

if that fails.. head to the nearest pub with foxtel!!

bring on our saviour and true overlord.... (watts)

lol. of course he is still playing well. He was only cut because of our youth policy. He would still embarrass the likes of jamar, spencer and paul johnson if he came back now.

:lol: so true!!

Not sure if any of you even care.. but a mate of mine is playing with him up in QLD and apparently he is still playing good footy!

http://www.sportingpulse.com/club_info.cgi...sectionID=60069

apparently its one of queenslands 'vfl' type clubs

if only we still had a young jeff white on offer!!

robbo has 1 bad game and you want to drop him? give him a chance!

and how could you drop jones? you really think bell would do a better job??

i dont think any changes are really needed.. solid team!

i was in the mcc area and had 3 friends with me and there was a bit of a mix.. there are usually a fair few dees supporters in the mcc area every week though!

Nathan Carroll

Lynden Dunn

Simon Godfrey

Ben Holland

Paul Johnson

my partner is a Lions supporter.. but i have already softened her up and my plan is working perfectly... she now owns a Melbourne jumper along with her Lions one... its just a matter of time..

confirmed: wallace is still the coach of the tigers!

Rumour has it that Dunbar has a complete blueprint of Melbournes underground drainage network.......

hahahah dude that is classic!!

almost as much as a Newton.

you're a harsh harsh man haha

I'll have a stab at summarising the various outlooks regarding Bruce

Essentially heres a bloke who played some very good seasons , in fact played one blinder which history suggests was aberant and possibly hitting above his weight as he's never come close really to mirroring it. ( Some would argue he's never been quite the same since Guerra cleaned him up).. possibly thats too simplistic but strangely works with time lines.

No one questions his endeavour or ferocity for the ball. He will play in at the ball and is to be commended for it ....HOWEVER...for all this his real effectiveness is somewhat gilded. Anyone who has watched him over the years just knows that more often than not he'll butcher a kick or add to the workcover policy requirements of the club with his 'dubious' handball skills.

On this basis many often question his value. Not his endeavour nor indeed dedication to the jumper. Thats legitimate and beyond reproach.

thank you belzebub.. nice response!

i suppose i can see where you're coming from.. i just think there are a lot of other players in the team that are worse then him.. but i suppose everyone expects more when he is getting paid a higher amount!
