Dr. Gonzo

If he's worth it he'll get the big $$ offer from us. He's with us for the next 3 seasons at least, that's good enough for me

To Hell and Back episode 3

North had a great decade in the 90s, 2 flags (4 since our last) Essendon were a behemoth of the competition until the drugs saga, you could argue they still are and won 2 flags in the 80s and 2 in the 90s/00 Gold Coast are a new franchise the AFL is funding in an expansion market Not really comparing apples with apples Even the Saints made grand finals in 97, 09 & 10 and were one of the top teams for about 3 years at the turn of last decade

Except when we lost by 31 goals ???

Tell that to Barassi ?

Do we want him on the list next year? If the answer is yes you sign him up as soon as he and the club can come to an agreement. To try and play around by delaying talks from the clubs side would be amateurish in the extreme.

Matt Jones and Dean Terlich finished top 5 in our B&F - we were a vfl team!

Kids had a ball my son got his number 5 jumper signed by Petracca and had pics taken with Petracca, Gawn, Oliver and Viney. Players were all great with the kids, my boys are already looking forward to next year's one ? Cassie - Daisy was standing next to where Petracca and Brayshaw were signing autographs to the right if the rent where Gawn was @Cassiew

I'm taking the kids, first time I've been since I was a kid

Petracca ??? Good to see Langdon and Tomlinson out there and Brown looks like he could be a decent pickup - not sure why Essendon let him go. Kossie was great, some of his repeat efforts were fantastic. The tackling pressure inside our 50 is exactly what we've been missing probably since Davey left. Love it. Wasn't sure he'd play seniors straight up but he's too dangerous not to have there. I'd lock him in round 1. Would like to see them put Jackson in one position and let him develop he was all over the shop today and couldn't get in the game. He started ok early got to good position up forward but couldn't take a mark. Then he was almost unsighted taking backup ruck duties and starting midfield. I'd leave him as a 2nd/3rd tall forward with TMac and Brown and let him develop there. He can look at ruck/midfield duties down the track when he builds a tank (I know today he had ruck duties out of necessity)

It's not Viney's fault, he was chucked in the deep end too quickly instead of being able to grow into the role. He is a "jump on my back and follow me" leader (witness his game vs WCE 2017 the TMac winning goal one) but needs to develop his emotional intelligence or whatever you might want to call it. Gawn as captain with Viney as vice captain is a great combo and Viney should regain the captaincy down the track I would have thought. Also channel 7 can get stuffed, instead of "Gawn appointed captain" being the headline it's "Viney loses captaincy" - always looking to create a crisis.

Not many hard nuts in that group - good players when they footy is free flowing but hard tough lockdown finals footy and they're going to struggle

Oh yes it was - every single year we would lose a string of games and lose games to bottom 9 teams that cost us the double chance in finals.

We also beat west coast twice in 1990. The Pies beat us in H&A but we had knocked them out of the finals in 88 and 89 and our September record against them overall means we would've had a chance. Truly the one that got away

You're just a caricature of yourself now. Whatever the club did you would have had a crack. If they had've stuck with Viney or gone co-captains it would've been "typical conservative Melbourne, too scared to take a chance on someone who has a bit of character, too scared to back themselves in and admit they made a mistake appointing Viney as captain, still stuck in the old Hollywood Boulevard days etc etc"

Hard liquor or GTFO

A social club would be a white elephant. You have to pay all the overheads and the revenue would be absolutely minimal.

Frost is [censored] get over it, it's going to be hilarious when Sicily finally snaps at him for being an idiot

I thought both teams would've been happy with that hit out. Saints looked pretty slick for PS1 and had a good look at Hill, Butler, King, Coffield and Clark in particular. They'll be knocking on the door of the 8 this year Hawks wouldn't have been happy with McEvoy going down but he should be back round 1 or 2 if it's a minor hamstring. Patton looked ok and got through unscathed as did Mitchell, that would be the only thing I was worrying about as a Hawks supporter at this stage

We don't need facilities for supporters, we just need proper training and admin facilities for the players and staff. This is a professional multi-million dollar per year club not a local pie night and chook raffle deal.

Saints cop the same raw deals we do except at least we get to play at the G (better stadium deal) and get to host ANZAC Eve and Queens Bday every other year. Saints aren't the problem, the AFL's inequitable policies that create these disparities are the problem.

Me neither od

The Demon Spirit was created by Checker in the 30s and led to our most dominant period (10 flags in 25 years) We abandoned that when Smith was sacked and went back to the amateur/silvertail/MCC mindset.
