Supermercado

No bloody wonder they're shellshocked, they've been defending for the best part of four years.

I don't think it's the people who post on here who are the fair weather tossers. Write a letter to the papers.

Tapscott is in the team though

If the people who voted no can find us a way to make the same sort of money without doing it then I'll be happy to change my vote.

Approaching Sheedy-esque levels of irrelevance

Good on the club for getting involved http://www.melbournefc.com.au/news/newsarticle/tabid/7415/newsid/120103/default.aspx

A losing record against every foundation team other than St Kilda?

Losing about 20% probably didn't help, but bonus for positive thinking.

Would have probably pulled the plug after this year anyway so no. But at least he'll be in the first few lines of "reasons why it went wrong" lists forever.

Assume you're correct on that one. Other times our seniors and reserves both lost by 100 on the same day: http://demonwiki.org/Round+19+1978 http://demonwiki.org/Round+21+1983

Blame Ferguson for turning it down.

If that was true.. words could not describe how angry I'd be.

130 point loss. Great day down at Kardinia Park.

Agreed. Bonus points for not being tarnished by the Casey debacle either.

Was great news for Tom. He didn't have to debut in that garbage.

At least buy a load of chicken manure and do it the Australian way.

I was there until the end too. Head in hands for most of it. Then I missed the train by thirty seconds. Then I had to go to a movie and pretend I was interested. Then some cow behind me wouldn't stop talking for 90 minutes. Then I got into an argument with said cow. Quite a day.

Yes, it promises to be a thrilling day

I once saw Carl Steinfort moping around Chadstone. The next day he got delisted so that explained his hangdog expression. Wait, did this have to be MFC and recent?

Surely the insanely optimistic post about our chances at Kardinia Park can't be far behind.

And ask yourself why does the membership card say "& 6 Vic away games" when the only Victorian ground which isn't MCG or Etihad is Geelong where you don't get in. Every year I write this on the members survey. Say 6 MCG/Etihad away games - because there's nothing to gain in putting Vic other than saving a few characters and annoying people who are on 17 game memberships for the first time.

I'd rather get an on-field $hit bloke in our side than an off-field one.

Was absolutely sure I'd open this thread to find somebody suggesting he'd be "a good fit" for us. The resulting brawl would have been epic.

Even Essendon and North have managed to beat one of the top four sides once in the last couple of years..
