I know from our experience that journos love bringing this up to cause outrage when the club hasn't asked for anything yet, but it's a bit early to be discussing it. Who knows if their kids will improve and they'll win 4 or 5 games. I'm not against priority picks if they're no better than end of the first round, but they've also got to take some responsibility for dumping senior players and concentrating on kids.

English football manager Barry Fry took a ceremonial pish in all four corners of Birmingham's pitch to try and reverse a supposed gypsy curse. Let's see the people in this thread who think curses are a real thing load up and have a go at the same sort of exorcism.

Harris just kicked four goals in eight games for a team on the cusp of the finals, I wouldn't pay her $3.50.

What about it being our first 8-0 start "since 1956... err... 1965... when Ron Barassi was in his first year as coach". Whoever wrote that fun fact for Darcy forgot to include the bit about RDB coaching Carlton.

I'd rather be boiled in oil than do community singing - even for a good cause - but hope you have better luck than when Collingwood tried to get the crowd to sing Nothing Else Matters by Metallica and were greeted with dead silence.

Thank you @Whispering_Jack and all, also to Slattery Publishing/Hardie Grant for giving me the chance to turn pro. If you'd like to contribute to Jeff Bezos' next divorce settlement you can also pre-order at Amazon. And yes, I am very much hoping that by the end of September the title is rendered irrelevant. Should come with a free texta so you can alter it in the event of another flag.

As if Melbourne 1956 wasn't better.

The real Hutchy would have had Carpet Call presenting the post on behalf of McDonalds and Drouin Machinery Maintenance.

I always thought we put him away as well, but just looked it up and he went on for five more weeks and won another game before leaving.

We finished off both Stan Alves and Grant Thomas by beating St Kilda in finals. Bit hasty on Alves given he had them in a Grand Final the year before.

To quote the name of a great Demonland poster, I'm @Bitter but optimistic

Nobody ever goes winless for a season (and I'm not prepared to contemplate it further until we win on Sunday) but if North get any more injuries and have to rely on this lot they're going to have a dreadful season.

I would take anyone back except $cully but he's done. For free (or close to) as a backup yes, but not for any serious price. Screamers massively overrated considering most were turned over immediately or came when we were 82 points down.

In 2017 we had it in the second and fourth quarters - Q2, kicked 6.5 to 2.0, came into the last quarter six points down, kicked 2.4 to 2.2 and lost by four. Classic Melbourne.

After about two years off I gave SEN another try now that we're good. There's about 30 minutes of ads an hour and the other 30 is almost worse. Maher/Murphy would be alright as a frivolous 12-4 show but it's a disaster of a drive-time program. They need to get over the formula of duos in the afternoon and find somebody with a good balance of serious and light hearted who can handle the shift solo.

Might do an Essendon fan and complain that the game wasn't moved somewhere more people could see it.

Liam Jarrah, Brock McClean, Brent Maloney and Ricky Pettard needed a thread like this 10 years ago.

This is undeniably a good thing but geez our salary cap must be bursting.

This man once said the winner of the pre-season competition should get a bye to the finals. At that point I stopped listening to his ideas.

Were you supposed to do this last week? Not against doing it but don't remember it being an issue.

Please no more Tararnt kicks across defence. Cost us one goal last week, then did it again when things were tight. Magee has improved drastically already but the only thing she's got in common with Goldrick is country of birth.

As many as we get but with a better percentage.

We can go full Essendon sook and demand the game be moved to a bigger venue.

Classic footy fans. Five years of massacring the bloke, then has one good game elsewhere and we're idiots for sacking him. Glad he did well, and hope he plays with them for years but geez let's wait a bit before jumping off the cliff like lemmings.
