Well, not many have responded yet, but already 40% are under 40.

I think you’re probably right re Brisbane, but it wouldn’t be the first time they’ve faded after starting the season well.

They are pretty much just being Freo… look the goods only to run out of puff mid season. I’m half expecting Brisbane to do the same.

Yes, all of our unaccountability on this site is really going to have a big impact on our team’s performance.

On one of the Dees Facebook groups, they have a Nancy Award for our worst player each week… Max however, should be eligible for the Nance-y Award.

Two of his three goals today have been under pressure, one a snapped goal and the other a strong contested mark. If he’d kicked a little straighter, he’d have five goals. When he’s not marking, he’s getting the ball to ground for the crumbers.

Surely you’re having a laugh! The guy is a star and I for one, would love to have him in our forward line.

Is it possible that the club is giving us a hint as to who will come in on the weekend?

The speed at which Chandler ran down Foley from behind (so unless he had eyes in the back of his head…), meant that Foley had no chance to do any of what you are suggesting he should have done. It was a great tackle until the last part where Chandler ‘flips’ Foley to his left and that causes Foley’s head to take the full force of the impact with the ground. If it had been the other way around and Chandler was the victim, I’m sure we would all have been calling for blood. I honestly can’t see him getting anything less than one week.

That’s true, but they were still considered easy beats and our side went in with that mindset. I’m sure we’re not going to make that same mistake again, but when you look at the Eagles on paper, they have the cattle to give us a fright if they somehow manage to get themselves firing… although, having said that, I think the late outs of Hurn and Gaff are really going to hurt them.

Weren’t we saying things like that, about the Adelaide Crows. last year?

I know this is a family page, but only in your throat?

Yes… we don’t need a massive win to increase our percentage; just restrict them to as low a score as possible, and a 50-60 point margin is suddenly a big percentage boost.

Mothers Day is just the creation of Hallmark and retailers. Surely every day should be considered Mothers Day.

Hey, we don’t want to get involved in aNarrms race!

The only game my son and I got to attend last year, the Queen’s Birthday game against the Pies at the SCG. Thankfully there are no games up this way in 2022, so we can’t put the mockers on the Dees by attending.

I’m becoming more inclined to think of Max as not just the best in the league, and not just the best that Melbourne has produced, but as the GOAT to have played the game! There are (and have been) great midfielders, great forwards, great backs and great ruckmen, but Max encompasses the best qualities of all of those footballing ‘arts’. The fact that he will most likely never win the Brownlow (read, midfielder’s medal), is an absolute travesty!

That new indigenous guernsey is definitely face palm worthy. The lower half looks like a homage to West Coast via Collingwood while to top half looks like a clown’s face. It’s far far far too busy. It’s an abomination I tells ya!

Is that a euphemism?

The ‘Refresh’ button is your friend.

When I’m watching games involving the Bulldogs, I find myself concentrating more on the free kick count than the scores… 5 minutes in and already 4-0 in their favour.

No, unfortunately I didn’t. Acari, to my ears, I’d like an Irish Tom Waits… but I do get what you mean about the Hyatt similarity.

Yes! I first saw this quite some time ago and immediately loved it. There’s another guy I would like to cover named Dave Acari:

Another video from the Smith's Alternative performance:

No idea if anyone came as a result of my post (although we did have a good sized turn out), but in case anyone is interested, this is a clip comprising bits of our final three numbers on the day. We’re back again at Smith’s Alternative in Canberra on Saturday 28th May with a local band IL Bruto.
