    I had the distinct displeasure of watching Essendon this week vs Norf

    My goodness what a rabble of a club they are - if we lose to them in gather round like we have done before my head may explode

    Well, we managed to reverse our fortunes against Carlton this week (in spades), so I’m hoping we will continue that trend come gather round.

    Thanks for the info GW. I have to say at half time on Sunday I had tossed in the towel.

    It’s funny, our apartment block’s general handyguy is a Carlton supporter and when I spoke to him on Monday, he told me that at half time he told his friends who were all happy for him, that they were going to lose… it’s all a matter of perspective OD 🤣

    Did AMW say anything about his prospects of playing senior footy in the short-term?

    Would love to see him back but understand he may need some minutes in the VFL first.

    Considering he had a 32 possie (I think it was) first up game at Casey, I wouldn’t be in the least bit surprised if he came in for Jiath if he’s unavailable this week.

    DOF -

    my Top 5 wins prior to today and not necessarily there and not in order:

    1987 triple-treat: Rd 22 v Dogs, EF v North, SF v AFLney

    1994 QF v Tankers

    2021 triple treat: Rd 23 v PBP, PF v PBP, GF v Dogs

    1990: B2B Rd 22 v The Family Thuggers, EF v same

    1988: PF v Tankers

    today v Tankers

    No win against Freo where we came back from over 50 points down? Can’t recall the year, but early 2000’s I think it was.

    Fantastic feeling to win like that, but now I have the quandary of not knowing how to feel about our next game against the Suns… they are possibly the most in form team in the comp, and not just a little better, but way ahead of every team!

    Did we show form that can see us matching them, or are we, like in the Fremantle game, going to capitulate without so much as a whimper?

    I’d love to think that we will be able to match it with the Suns, but unfortunately my MFCSS is making a resurgence.

    In the meantime I’ll just bask in the afterglow of this victory!

    That’s one hell of a list! Is that in order of favourites from 1 to 500? I don’t think I could manage that (in fact, I know I couldn’t), so well done you!

    I haven’t read it closely, but my main disagreement would be your rating of Fleetwood Mac who to my mind ceased to exist after Peter Green left… while the two songs you cited were big money spinners (chart toppers), I’d rank Albatross, Oh Well Parts 1&2, The Green Manalishi and Black Magic Woman from Peter Green’s Fleetwood Mac, well ahead of them as songs.

    Quote the quote and then quote the next and subsequent quotes. If you leave a quote out you can go back and requote the missed quote but once you quote a quote you’ll have to manually delete that quote. I find it best just to quote one quote at a time. Don’t quote me on this though.

    Can I quote you on that?

    Given that statistically they'll be amongst the 660 AFL listed players, obviously those who are gay aren't currently comfortable in announcing it (eg at a Brownlow function).

    What disturbs me is that it’s the press who get hold of this news (by whatever means), and they use it as click bait on social media such as Facebook, because they know that it’s going to result in massive numbers of hits and it will bring out all of the homophobes in droves! All it does is add to the reasons that anyone, let alone an ex footballer (of any code), will remain silent about their sexuality… and I’m not talking about just in the sense of telling the world…it’s very possible they will be afraid to even tell those close to them. There is far too much encouragement of hate in social media!

    I’d love to see gay players, rather than announcing themselves via press releases or whatever means was used in this case, just rock up to club events (even the Brownlow) with their partner, without making any announcement.

    Adams not up to it!

    Hey PF, not footy related, but…how are you quoting people in your posts? You’ve gone from having the quote appearing twice in your posts, to the quote appearing three times in the post I’m now quoting?

    Friday is my birthday gig, with many of my usual invited guests hopefully sitting in (Richard Bergman, Bob Spencer, Mick Daley, Terry Serio and George Washingmachine among others), so it should be a bit of a blast.

    I thought I’d also post a reminder that I have set up a link to PayPal if anyone feels that they’d like to donate to Cancer research as well as to my birthday bliss (a 50% split); I’m treating my portion as recompense for my cat herding duties, whilst organising these gigs over the years!

    I believe some very generous soul from these forums has made a donation, but my guess as to who it might have been, was way off the mark… regardless, thank you so much, whoever it was!! Much love to you!

    For anyone else that may also feel so inclined, just follow this link:

    It has to be said as well that Patrick Voss is a horrible waste of perfectly good oxygen.

    What an embarassing, self centred, egotistical individual.

    He reminds me more than a little of Maynard; although I have to say I enjoyed the flash back to the old World Championship Wresting, when he lifted Langdon above his head…all we needed was Jack Little on commentary. Both players had a good laugh about it… the security guard however, looked a bit unsure of how it would end.

    Oliver took 1 Game!! And 30 odd possesions today and a goal and KING Punted him., yeah right!@

    You really ARE the ‘king of knee [censored] reaction’… can you honestly, hand on heart, tell us that Oliver was performing up to standard over his last couple of seasons with the Dees? He was not invested at all, and yes, he has done well at the Giants (as has Trac at the Suns), but that’s not really a surprise, as it’s far from unusual for players to be reenergised when they move to a new environment.

    Windsor, Langford and Lindsay will improve, but to expect them to contain midfields of the like that Freo, Sydney, and even Carlton have, is a little unfair. We are lacking in midfield depth, yes, but I’m happy to see these guys given games and a chance to develop against the best. As for next week, I have no idea what changes are likely to be made, but it will be interesting to see whether Jiath and Latrelle Picket survive the cut… Jiath may make way for AMW, and Latrelle for ? (probably too early for Mathews to get a run).
