no, 1 does not equal 200, but in the context of wins versus percentages essentially for our ladder position a one point margin is the same as a 200 point margin. I think we can concede percentage this year and just concentrate on the wins instead. Now, what was the mathematical chance of finals again? Oh, and to add to the other important sub-thread of this conversation, (hen) and (rooster) are subsets of (chook), whilst (nouns) is a subset of (words), but (hopefully) Jesse Hogan will be a subset of (great full forwards of all time).

somehow i don't think the new administration will be considering emblems and similiar items for quite a while. i like the current one, just wish we had a club/team good enough to match it. I feel everything started falling apart when they de-demonised the emblem and went the silly square one.

just a toilet stop on the way to Portland! (but yeah, Portland was just that little too far from the G. Now its 20 minutes via the Eastern freeway)

Captain Jack - the GOOD draft selection.

Noddy (our nickname, Nephew of (our) Dentist) was so nearly brilliant IF ONLY his kicks had travelled just that little bit further! Haven't seen the clumsy nasty Fletcher for a while, thought he was playing out his career nicely.

yeah I was going to bring up the Hawthorn game too, the boycott is already in place, even the cheersquad barely attended that game. Is it true that the half time contest when fans held up a Hertz banner had to be abandoned because they couldn't find any Melbourne supporters?

Out: demonrob In: hawk Rob. Damn, someone already said that. To go with the really new 'bomb it to the forward line' game plan, I really liked the 'pick up the opposition player just after he's received it and passed it onto the player you were just marking' game plan. Gee, haven't seen that since the Bailey years. Thought Flash actually started well but then lost his confidence and became embarrassing. Blease I was liking till he missed that shot at goal and then he seemed to lose it too. Maybe the only in we need is John Northey to teach them some heart and endevour.

Winners and Sinners Mike Brady got it on my phone, will have to make it the ringtone I guess!

Jimmy was an inspiration to me as I've had my own cancer journey over the last two years. For him to cope with it as well as he did, when much worse than me, made my own troubles easier to cope with. Jim has made me cry twice; this morning when I heard the news, and in 87 when I was sitting behind the goals at waverley. Actually, after watching the replay tonight of the tribute I did cry last time I watched that too.

Its still cricket season, shield final isn't finished. this game doesn't count. off to watch the swimming instead, go Australia!

Just enjoy it, the players do. Injuries? how stupid. ban preseason cos people get injured there too, and that's not even for australia. We are going on friday and we will have a good time. Pity its not at the G though. And Green/ He's played well on the international stage before and is well chosen to captain this team. Take it as an honour for MFC, not an insult. You lot are sounding like Denham or PatrickSmith. Enjoy life more, its much nicer that way.

unlike everyone else on this forum, I still believe him, that he wouldn't decide until the end of the season, and that he hadn't talked until the end of the season, and there is no evidence from managers or him that he didnt stick to his word. If any of you were offered such ridiculous amounts of money, and with no guaranteed fitness with a dodgy knee, playing for a club you hadn't even barracked for as a kid, how could you resist. Would you stay in your current job if offered millions to join another company? So stop this [censored], please. But I did boo each time his name came up on brownlow night!

I think KB has his guests for laugh-at-the-guest entertainment value, they are all consistently negative and in most matters, just wrong wrong wrong

Were you there last year? Lionel was brilliant. Everyone was up and singing along with him. Surprisingly it really worked. Meatloaf - should have been the same, but just didn't work.
