  1. You can be very cruel Luci !!
  2. I accept the fact that pre season medical issues impacted on our fitness - no doubt about it. However, SYWL makes a very valid point about skills - or lack thereof. In the games I have attended, I have witnessed appalling kicking, marking and handballing that reverted to the embarrassing level that I thought we had left behind us. I also saw terrible decision making time and again in the way we enter forward fifty. Although our forwards also have to carry a share of the blame in this as they are too often stone footed and seem unable to lead or are caught way out of position. They have generally been poor in keeping the pill in our attacking zone. These matters cannot be explained by lack of fitness.
  3. That is precisely what it is.
  4. Terrific news !!! Now give Max the weekend off and let's see what Pruess can do!
  5. For once a sensible decision from those toss pots.
  6. Well [censored] me ….. no [censored] you! I didn't need to know that Goffy!
  7. I agree Jones hasn't been at his best this season. He has been unusually inconsistent. In some matches he has played some very good quarters but then disappeared. His last couple of weeks have been much better. He has not been so poor as to deserve dropping and we don't have ready replacements pressuring him. He is experienced, versatile and always busts his guts for the team. He will and should play on next year.
  8. Disagree Garbo! Jetta will find the going a bit easier with better support around him - Lever, May, a vastly improved Frost and a developing Hore (!). He was too often left with a very unsuitable match up. Provided of course we can keep them all on the paddock.

  10. You better slurp a bottle or so tonight as well RTG!
  11. Think back to the final against Geelong last year. Have a look at the ladder now Goody. Please tell us what the [censored] has happened!
  12. You may not be able to pick footy teams Luci but your taste in booze is excellent!
  13. Not a bad effort- for a side without a forward line FMD - I’m glad I stayed in Melbourne
  14. [censored] up by a pretty boy FMD!!!
  15. FMD!! That’s some seriously frantic football!
  16. Yes no doubt. I believe that Sir Bill rather famously left some ..... err .... “ evidence “ in the room!
  17. Journalism at its best SWYL !!!!!
  18. “Heart Balm” was quite risqué as I recall
  19. I can do "creepy" really well. Without even trying usually. Wonder if that will get me a job as a journo?
  20. I hope your maid proves to be more affable than mine was this morning mine Sku !
  21. Geez, I had hoped to get up there for this game. I had planned to impose on rellys for free accommodation and grog but, sadly, it fell through. I was confident of a victory last week and am even more confident this week. I shall enjoy my own booze and celebrate ( in my typical style) at The Manor.
