A man of obvious taste and breeding biggie.

Shame is a bit mild tu. I think they are terrible.

You are not alone.

I think they are all poor, it's voting for the least disappointing.

Agree Mr Leg but I still think they are great examples of getting every last drop out of their careers.

For many years I went down to Tassie for work and I got to know the Aussie rules situation. The divide between the North and South is the classic “them and Us”. Back in the early eighties they tried to have a play off between the North and South Premiers. First problem was neither league would agree to hold the meeting in the others area. South would not go north and vice versa. A couple of years later they meet at midlands, as the name suggests it is approx half between the North and south. It still didn’t achieve the desired result . One item which I believe neither league would agree to was where would they play the first game. Now a lot of water has flown under the bridge since then but there would still an element of that now. I had customers in the North that had never been to Hobart. Why go there would rather fly to Melbourne! It’s a strange place. I have an affection for it, it’s one of the best holiday destinations in Australia. In a lot of ways it reminds me of England.

I have noticed in past years it seldom gets done this side of Christmas. It’s just another example of the AFL’s poor treatment of the people who make the game possible.

Him and Milkshake are amazing, the fitness levels they maintain for guys their age is great. I hope this year they get a high number of games, dropping Tmac last year was a disgrace .

You are not alone Rab

And get the ball in the first place.

bb can you please not use that "learning's" it is an abomination.

Hmm, I have thought for a long time that our blue and red makes us look slimmer that other playing strips. I have never liked it to be honest. Compare that to Geelong's horizontal jumpers and we look a bunch of little brothers playing their big brothers. Our traditional jumper is much better not that we see it very often these days.

Spot on BLWNBA.

You have set a low bar there CF.

I hope in a year or two's time we can comfortably talk of him as being as good as Gus. That a high level you have set for him.

I watched Cook in his first year at Casey. After the first game I was thinking what were the recruitment people thinking? He seldom played a good enough game at Casey to be in the top ten players. Terrible selection.

That's a very high std you have set. IMO Max is in the top five of ruckman to have played the game. I believe Max is the best ruckman who has played for Melbourne. If you are drafted as a rookie ( his farther was a 1st round pick ) I doubt you will be as good as Max. No interest from other clubs says it all IMO. If he turns into a useful ruckman I will be happy.

The kid has good taste, nice jacket. I have one the same!

How could have missed that!

That makes at least three of us. Like I didn’t know the word existed until I heard Goodwin using it. Not sure how I got a second Redleg comment.

So in effect nothing concrete no pun intended.

We won a premiership with a half forward who struggled to kick beyond 40 metres. You need to know your capabilities and play within them.

So what are the odds there will be an announcement at the AGM? I have gone to the last 6+ years hopeful of a result. Nil zip, zero has been the result. It's a bit like our player drafting results. Hopeful but not confident. Even if a plan is agreed then money then has to be found. I cannot see any coming from the state government they are broke. How much will the Federal government supply? I struggle to see us using it before 2030 at the earliest.

It's far from panic Mr Leg. It's only taken us half a century with no success. I will believe it when I see it.

If it wasn't DJ it should have been. If the boys at MP created an episode about the MFC's inability to lock down a home we would have found it to be very funny. But here we are and it is not funny at all. More like very sad.
