Hope he put it on auto-renew. I'm not going to get worried until Joan Kirner signs up.

Are they really suggesting Jonathan Brown might walk out to go to a premiership chance? That would be such a ludicrous blow against loyalty in football that I'd almost have to apologise to Tom Scully.

I'll go absolutely spaz if we lose full stop. And I expect the other 26 people who are there to do the same.

What a load of rubbish, his finest moment was signing a $6 million contract.

Strike rate of this sort of thread currently running at about 0%.

Coming from the peanut who spent the entire game calling Trengove 'Trengrove' and once called for a torp goal to be worth 9 I refuse to take any notice of anything he says.

Agree with the OP in that if it had gone the other way around NicNat would be floundering trying to work with our midfield and that Watts would be a bit-part player with the Eagles but probably looking the goods because the team is playing well. The upside to NicNat would be a.) a marketable player that would get fickle kids interested (which is hardly a reason to draft somebody) and; b.) a highlight reel player who would at least 'make things happen' (CLICHE!) in the middle. Given the choice I'd probably have him now just to have a buzz player but I'm still holding out hope for Watts to go supernova.

Nobody's moderating that list, they've set it up so it shows all the tweets from 'their' accounts. Unfortunately for them that automatically includes any rubbish attempt at comedy by players. Much like James Frawley telling everyone to 'get around' (urgh) an Aussie Wonaeamirri fake account because he thought it was real.

Agree with OP, I've had enough of being the Big Issue vendors of the AFL.

Two years ago I enjoyed the gimmicks on the Triple M coverage, now it's just a blokey circle jerk. Footy Show on the other hand has been pish for five years. They've nailed some killer interviews and broken a few stories but unless something's happened and you know there will be an interview there's no point tuning in for gags about how Garry is hairy. I'd rather come on here and watch people tee off on Bennell.

It's one thing to be a shattered group going into the game, but the worst thing is that pride clearly didn't come into it when we were 19 goals behind at half time. I know Geelong didn't do what teams usually do and put the cue in the rack once it starts getting perverse but still, the way most of our team (from memory McKenzie the only one even remotely worthy of credit) rolled over and died was rude - and the only people involved that day who have been shown the door are Bailey and Emo Maric. Sadly we'll never be able to haul the rest of the them over the coals for the shame they brought upon the club. I suppose they might have lost by 38 goals instead of 31...

Deserves to be turned into an episode of Seconds From Disaster.

Doesn't excuse people acting like filth. It's one thing to let rip with a few choice words or to have a loud whinge but there's a big difference between that and people being outright abusive or threatening. Also doesn't help that the TV loves showing people acting like fools about umpiring decisions. Hardly discouraging.

How often do you want to change captains? I'm not thrilled about Grimgove and would rather let them play rather than burdening them with captaincy, but they've got the job so let them get on with it.

Who's paying the (presumably ludicrous) amount of compensation to the catering contractors?

Good luck to the kid following Franklin then going to a game and sitting in front of people going off their tree about Kyle Cheney and Cameron Bruce. It happens everywhere, and it shouldn't but unless you're going to tell people off or lag them to the crowd behaviour hotline they're not going to stop. Given that most of our games are half full at best there's always spots up the back where you can get away from people and I'm sure the kids don't care if they're not sitting on the fence. Top deck of the Ponsford has been very short on nutbag behaviour in the last couple of years.

When you're absolute rubbish and playing a good team. We're rubbish and so are they so it's depression all round if the scores are level.

At the very least your kids should be taught not to take anything from Footscray or St Kilda fans. Agree that the lack of a superstar for kids to identify with hurts. God knows how much money Franklin generates for Hawthorn.

Maybe Malthouse is sitting there going "this is awesome!" and Bucks has just been stooged by the bottom dropping out at the wrong time. Still, it's three weeks in and they've lost to the two premiership favourites so I wouldn't be burning his effigy just yet. At least if they do go under at a million miles an a hour at least they managed to snag one premiership first.

Hold on, I watched that - and went back ten seconds later to see Mitch's virtuoso performance again and "Video has been removed by the user". Disappointing, it was the finest MFC performance since Watts/Grimes/Fitzpatrick's SEN ad for Outback Jack's steakhouse.

Bring back that ripping jingle that used to play at the 'G in the late 90's "When your whole car's singing it's Ultratuned!"

The download option is the killer feature. Site to run riot for about two weeks until they get shut down.

Barassi's son played Under 19's for North Melbourne. Flower's son played for Eastern Ranges and Sandringham in '02.

Does he look even remotely like his dad yet? Knowing the way we're going he'll be exposed in a DNA test and we'll miss out.
