P-man

Apologies in advance. Come on Pies. That wasn’t easy to type ?

I thought Jones’ goal was going to be the biggest roar of the night. Then this happened.

Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiddddddddddddd.....

I’ll be on a plane in less than three hours. Bring this [censored] on.

Wow. That is extremely poor.

JKH very unlucky. Has been getting better each game to silence the nuffies. I would’ve kept him ahead of Spargo who by his own admission is basically just running on adrenalin. But it should hopefully not come down to our 22nd man. Can’t wait for tomorrow night. Puuumped.

On recent evidence, Lewis is almost twice the player Murphy is.

Barassi easily. If you can have two presenting then Daniher as well, but the reality is we don’t know when we’d get another one or indeed how much longer Barass will be around himself. Would the AFL allow us to have two? I can already hear the whinging.

Bottom six in descending order would be Vanders, Nibbler, Hannan, Weed, Spargo and JKH. That group would compare well with most other sides in the top 8. With the way he’s playing I think he’d be in the top six. It’s not underselling his performance against us last time to say it was Carey-esque. Stop him and Danger and we win the game.

Man, that is actually a bummer. BnF winner at two clubs is an amazing achievement of which he should be very proud. Thanks Bernie. Fantastic servant and will always be fondly remembered.

I didn’t watch the whole thing but on what I did watch, Gawn and Clarry were the only ones getting laughs from the audience. MFC bringing the characters back to the game ?

Jeffy remains a favourite despite the lack of job security. It will be a shame if we don't get to see him light up the G in September but understandable given his dip in form. I'll never forget Jones' service during the dark times and for that he'll always be a favourite. Vines, Nev and Clarry. Self explanatory. Vanders aka vandenFyfe aka the Punisher is rocketing to the top of my list. As Darcy would say, I love the way he goes about it. Oh and Fritta. Ah to hell with it. I love em all.

Very surprising given his body of work at North. Seems like something behind the scenes that is making clubs turn their back on him.

Cornes is extracting the urine with these teams now. Two Saints midfielders in a side that lost by 4 goals to North in a dead rubber.

A massive achievement. Chris Scott on 360 said he’s probably the best player in the league. Hard to argue against. Definitely he’s the most influential.

Flights and accommodation are sorted. Now for the last piece of the puzzle. Can’t believe we get to thump the Cats under Friday night lights. Could not be more pumped.

Yeah that was mentioned afterwards but originally was about whether Melbourne had ever had a Coleman medallist. It was just entertaining that the last one was the guy they were talking about seconds earlier. BT also spoke about Gawn moving into defence as if it was some recently employed tactic. Was pointed out to him by Daisy that it’s been a long standing move, to which he predictably responded by trying to make out she was trying to be clever. No. You’re just wrong. Again.. It’s obvious the little work he puts in off camera.

BT doesn’t seem to mind broadcasting his ignorance, especially when it comes to Melbourne, but he may have outdone himself today. Bartel spoke about Jones closing in on Neitz’s games record. Conversation immediately turned to the club’s leading goalkicker, with BT asking “Melbourne have never had a league leading goalkicker have they?” Yeah. Neitz. The guy you were taking about ten seconds ago. You [censored] numpty.

6. Harmes 5. Gawn 4. Frost 3. Vanders 2. Brayshaw 1. Hibberd

I can’t believe the elevation of Harmes this season. He’s playing A grade football right now.

Jetta hasn’t had an AA year. Might make the squad again. Oliver should start ahead of Macrae.

54 Brayshaw 20 Fritsch 65 Frost 95 Gawn 32 Hannan 65 Harmes 119 Hibberd 137 Jetta 260 Jones 62 Kent 303 Lewis 142 McDonald 152 Melksham 55 Neal-Bullen 56 Oliver 58 Omac 59 Petracca 66 Salem 14 Spargo 103 Tyson 31 VB 16 Weideman 1964 It’s an omen people ?

I can’t help focusing on the fact we have the smallest number of supporters bar the two most recent expansion clubs, and they have a vast number of supporters in waiting, especially the Giants. A minnow like the Bulldogs has almost double the number of supporters. Decades of mediocrity really hurt us badly. We need to try and win over a new generation of football followers.

lol I know right. I’m a bit ambivalent about Aly but even I want to punch him in the face in that photo,
