    I'd be interested to know just how many football related injuries Salem has a history of having had. As far as I am aware, he missed the most time suffering from a thyroid condition (hardly football related), then concussion as a result of a brick hitting him in the head (again, hardly football related... self inflicted) and most recently suffered a hamstring injury (and I get the feeling Salem is not the first AFL player to have done a hammy). So, just what is this injury history he has, and what "worse prognosis" could the club possibly be holding back on?

    Aaaaaaand cue GNF!

    Larry's first post was suggesting Jones request a transfer out of the club, and now this. As previously suggested, Moe and Curly are in need of your assistance.

    I thought the arm slipped up during the tackle while the player was attempting to dispose of the ball, pretty much unassisted... so it's not so different to a low tackle slipping down the legs resulting in an unintended trip. That is, a free kick is given. I had no problem with it.

    Actually, the goal was referred for review (you could hear the umpire referring it) and it was deemed ok, so the Centre bounce went ahead. Regardless of that, as the earlier goal by Port was accepted by the 3rd umpire when it was clearly touched at the same point of impact by the kicker as that Kennedy goal, then it had to be given. But wow, what a game (apart from the 2nd and 3rd quarters).

    The Swans are scarily good.

    I thought I'd accidentally switched to the NRL final on the other channel. This game is almost unwatchable.

    I used to enjoy going to the Tiger Lounge to watch Paul Madigan and the Humans winding up the "radical feminists". Joined by Ross Hannaford, Wayne Duncan and Fred Strauks, Madigan certainly had a way with words, set to the best possible musical accompaniment.

    Have to say that I didn't mind Lever's game.

    Agree on all except the Richmond result. I want to see Richmond go out in straight sets and hence, the balance of the universe restored. Geelong will not make it to the Grand Final regardless, so I won't begrudge them a win this week.

    Would love to see them go out in straight sets. The only decent thing to come out of that club was one of Melbourne's best music venues in the late 70's early 80's, the Tiger Lounge at the Royal Oak Hotel in Richmond... it was managed by former captain Francis Bourke who was a really nice guy.

    Um, what question was he supposed to be answering? At least he had something to say, unlike yourself who prefers to dismiss everything as leftist.
  13. hardtack
    Because people see some merit in some of the issues he had (note the word SOME), they (we) are the "touchy feely brigade"?? I think the tunnel visioned blinkered brigade sums you up nicely.
  14. hardtack
    Soft [censored] brigade? Maybe some people see beyond his being a player who failed our club. Sure he was an attention seeker, but that wasn't always a bad thing. I'd say the real soft [censored] are the posters that take the easy way out and simply dismiss him as an arrogant [censored].

    How can it be revenge when the MFC screwed it? We had our destiny in our own hands (and feet) and blew it badly. It's not Collingwood's fault that we blew it. They turned up ready to play for the future of their coach and for their own pride... we couldn't even get motivated by the prospect of playing finals for the first time in years! We should be thanking Collingwood for what has hopefully been a massive wake up call, not seeking to exact some sort of misguided revenge.

    That membership cost argument doesn't really cut it for me. I am one who, if that argument rang true, probably shouldn't be paying mine and my son's memberships, having not worked since being made redundant a couple of years ago. However, the reality is that those two memberships amount to nothing more than a couple of coffees a week at my favourite cafe; so for me it's not too difficult a decision to continue supporting the club financially.

    I believe it's been renamed to "Merde Monday" (excuse my French)

    Please pass on my best regards to Moe and Curly.

    My band is playing in the Sydney suburb of Engadine (south end of that godforsaken area known as "the Shire") which for me is a 45 minute drive. We start playing at 2pm but I have to get there earlier to make sure everything is ready to go. So, by the time we have played and I've managed to drive back to civilisation, the game will be over.

    Gee, some harsh critics on here... but yes, I would have gone for something a little more lyrically appropriate like "Jesus Built My Hot Rod".

    I know you have an immediate connection with the club, but is your comment based on that or is it just your own belief? I was wondering whether perhaps Frost had given Goodwin some indication that he was looking elsewhere, as that would make sense of the fact he was dropped to Casey for seemingly doing not too much wrong, and hasn't been able to even get a spot on the emergencies list since. I hope my gut feeling is wrong and that he remains at the club.

    I believe it was a severe case of tonsorialitis that did it.
  23. hardtack
    Well, it could very possibly be Bucks' grand finalé.

    Unfortunately we can't afford a trip to Melbourne at the moment and my son goes in for a full knee reconstruction this Thursday (his arthroscopy of 2 years ago failed) which means travel is out of the question anyway ? I wouldn't write us off against the Swans quite so readily... yes they're the form team of the comp, but they are due for a loss. Having said that, mine was purely selfish motivation and yes, a final against Richmond at the 'G' would be fantastic... I think we would actually send them packing.
  25. hardtack
    I'm torn on this one...I want it to be in Sydney so my son and I can go along to watch the game.
