RUOK? Where did I say anything that even slightly alludes to what you said?? I’m basically saying that how she dresses at any function has absolutely no relationship to how she might or might not perform her duties at the Dees. I was saying that you did not need to make mention of that… just discuss the actual topic which is about her performance at the club. I’m not saying anything is ok. I know there are obviously issues at the club that MUST be addressed, but I’m not engaging in hyperbole that is based on rumours (everyone hating each other etc).

Then that’s all that needs to be mentioned. Judging her on how she carries herself, is irrelevant.

The Japanese have a great expression “Deru kugi wa utareru” that translates as “The nail that sticks out, gets hammered down”. It’s probably best to judge her on her actual ability.

He’d be going cheap.

Yeah, I missed that, but did hear about it. He looks like a twig, but stands up to opponents like a Goliath! He’s going to be something really special… now, if only we could somehow lure him to the Dees!

That didn’t actually worry me… what I loved was the fact that he’d just been roughed up by a couple of Essendung players a minute before, and got to rub their faces in it, and he got to give the crowd a big “Shhhhhhhhh!!”. Pure gold!!

Not mistakes… it was a complete lack of effort in the last minute or so, that allowed Port to kick it amongst themselves, when we should have been pressuring them! I suggest people take a look at the last minute of the Suns v Essendon match.

Just a couple of observations… how is it possible that Port could have a louder crowd than the Dees, and secondly, in the closing minute of the game, how could we just stand back and let them time waste, without even attempting to push up on them?? I just caught the end of the Suns v Essendon game, and it was night vs day..they attacked and attacked right up until the last second (almost literally) and got the chocolates!!

I love HG & Roy! The Dream (show) that they had during the Sydney Olympics was brilliant (I have the DVDs of it)!

I am usually optimistic, but the past few weeks have seen my optimism stretched to the point where I’m happy that we’ll not put in as bad a performance against Port as did the Swans! if we do win I’ll be over the moon, but failing that, I’m hopeful that the likes of Jefferson and Verrall etc might get games in the final two rounds.

He does have a fellow commentator who I think is a former diver, but Tubby tends to hog the commentary 😁

Literally a Spud (in all senses of the word)!

Never mind that fact that our Olympic diving expert is Tubby Taylor!

Beat me to it by a few seconds 😁

These score reviews can be so annoying!! When it’s for a possible ‘hit the post’, why don’t they go straight to the snicko thingy, rather than first trying to establish whether or not it touched, using vision that looks like it was taken from the other end of the ground and with pretty much just the one angle!!

As it would seem unlikely there will be many, if any, gettable ‘big name’ key position forwards up for trade, is Adelaide’s Riley Thilthorpe a player that could be lured away if targeted? I’ve liked what I have seen of him, even though I haven’t seen a lot. A great forward target with a very good pair of hands. BTW Is there any way to search within the topic you’re currently viewing (it could save me asking questions that have already been answered)?

Firstly, I’m a paid up member living in Sydney who is financially bereft and therefore can’t afford the fare to Melbourne and necessary accommodation. Secondly, as a result of six months worth of chemotherapy, I have rather severe peripheral neuropathy that has somewhat affected my mobility. It would have been nice to see more punters there, as I believe that’s the kind of thing that can get us over the line in those close games, but like me, I’m sure there are many who have their valid reasons for not attending; particularly given the predicted weather conditions, the lack of parking, and, I’m led to believe, the interrupted train services.

For what it’s worth, Hodge has us finishing the home and away season with one loss and in 4th spot!

Unfortunately you’re a day out…

I’m guessing that the spelling is the same, but is the Mynott playing for Frankston, any relation to the former St Kilda great?

Who?

Now THAT is my kind of music! He reminds me a little of the Melbourne based singer, Archer. This following song however, is in a style far removed from Jones’s bones’s. I love the fragility of the vocals and the sound in general; a great band in my opinion.

Collingwood and then in no particular order: Essendon, Carlton, Brisbane, Port
