To be honest, I'd be massively surprised if we didn't (and don't again) go hard at Enright.

You mean they do things at the club during the week? I assumed they were overseeing the players' parma intake and making sure they were logging FIFA minutes, whilst lightly suggesting they might like to take a beep test every so often so that the coaches looked like they knew what they were doing.

Unfortunately, I'm in possession of one of those as well......

Just kill this argument and bring back the flick!

May consider wearing my 'Hulkamania' t-shirt when I'm able to get to a game this year, instead of the red and blue.

When you're calling Terry Wallace a playing list expert, you KNOW you're clutching at straws.

I have no doubt that Cosmo Kramer could run a marathon tomorrow.

I thought Barrett was a journo. Somehow, somewhere in the last two years (I'd say now he's with crocmedia) he's gone from that to editorialising. And he's not terribly good at it. All he does is agree with the top clubs and disagree with the strugglers. No matter what. If it came to it, I'd put money on him writing an article defending Essendon, even if the players were blatantly injecting HGH, just because they're winning. An absolute [censored].

waynewussell, are you sure you're not trained in propaganda?

3 useless ruckmen. Fan-bloody-tastic.

Excellent job all! Especially to Wizza and waynewussell......look at what you guys have started! Not only will I be sporting a beard, I'll be wearing the red and blue at work tomorrow!

Nah, they're just more vocal, with an attentive audience.

Well, no, he was signed by Melbourne before their B&F, if I recall correctly. If not before, it was definitely within the week, and he was signed under UFA, not delisted FA.

Jesus tapdancing Christ.

This is about all the help I want from Demetriou. GAGF, Vlad.

I honestly have no idea what some people here would have McLardy say. Ranting and raving, declaring 'Player X is a spud', 'Neeld is the worst coach ever', and 'Cam Schwab must go!'? That wouldn't start a [censored] in any way, obviously. Yes, it's spin, and yes it's the same spin we've heard for years, but realistically right now McLardy is between a rock and a hard place. He responds to the (justifiable) backlash against the club since Saturday night, and gets kicked for responding with spin. He says nothing and is decried for hiding from the problem. He spins some home truths, the media have a field day and it's game over forever. I have no doubt that things are being feverishly investigated behind closed doors, but there's no reason to air any of it in public given the state of the club as it is. Deep breaths, people. Deep breaths.

The small guys get tired but the tall guys don't get any shorter. But a spud is a spud is a spud. Obviously this won't happen, but a man can dream.

Robbie didn't play that day, but you may notice the appearance of one G. Healy on the playing sheet. http://stats.rleague.com/afl/stats/games/1979/061119790728.html

Not being able to be at the game (living in Queensland and all), is there confirmation that it was Melbourne fans that gave Watts the bronx cheer and gathered around the race at the end of the game? All of the evidence I can see is that it was Essendon flogs. Similar to the boos received when Grimes got paid a free and kicked the goal late in the first. What a poor bunch of supporters.

Try this: Paywall free.

If Kyle Matthews was in the team, almost certainly. He has more heart than the entire MFC playing list combined.

The thing is, Grimesy and Viney know what it's like to be a demons supporter. That's why they give it their all every time.
