DEE fence

This is what I really want. We are far from it now, but at the end of the day, the most Premierships is true bragging rights.

Not everyone is as smart as Lever, talk about timing. Probably would like a better game in Round 2 of the GF match.

I am not sure if I can cope with another 12 years of being told about his basketball ability... a'la Pendlebury.

Willing to bet Bourke Street to a Brick that the final team will be selected after the Friday game. Goodwin was very clear 'sore' players will be rested, but the one's on the field will be playing to win, a nicely mature response. BTW Sub text from the interview on 360 is they care more about venue than crowd. And after watching the souless game vs Adelaide there was no problem with team spirit, since we can’t go, I'd prefer to play where we go best and players get to rest at home. I agree with Tmac, May and Viney back for Sparrow and Melksham and Smith. But I would also consider Harmes for Jones. Also did anyone notice Garry L's driveby on Melks? On the couch they highlighted the kick into the stands, and Garry's sly backhander was 'it was his best kick'.

Help pay your fine

As far as I am concerned the Curse is dead, I am not sure whose footy boots got burnt in pagan offering, but it has worked. My reasoning is thus - Has anyone else noticed that Essendon and Carlton now play like we used too? Occasional flashy attack but so often shooting themselves in the foot and not winning when expected and with everything to play for. It is particularly Carlton's insipid performances that make me feel like they have taken over our role as class clown. Gives me great joy - Win or Lose this year we have become a consistent team, make sure the next time you go to curse millennials (for what ever reason (usually being young and bright) you remember it is they that are removing 56 years of mediocrity.

Not sure we should be helping - I used to think the Spanish were mad lazy buggers for having siesta. I now realise they are inspired geniuses, love my nana nap (when I can get one!

My Taliban is Essendon by a long way, (even the club nickname is disgusting-an indiscriminate killing device) but still a hierarchy of loathing after that, Carlton (despite their flourishing mediocrity), WCE, Adelaide, and Hawthorn. Dislike: Geelong (more from being a protected species and good for a long time) Roos Non plussed about: Dogs Lions Swans Saints Tigers GWS Port Amiable intent: Freo (continue to spoil us as our trading bunnies). Pity: Suns Shakespearean Rage: For family reasons Collingwood, they are our Capulets (without any Juliet).

You have been clear on this point - When it looked like there is a possibility of playing them 4 times in one year, I must admit it did occur to me to worry for you. 😁

Hawkins smashed May’s eye socket… so for this VDB and Jones last game, time to put some pre finals hurt on, Hawkins and Selwood at the top of the list. Personally I don’t have it in for Danger.

WCE should really chair Margetts off the ground...

Ripper contest this Derby, umpiring is pretty good except for that boundary boo boo.

Kind of you-Hopefully this includes Sudan/African based MFC fans. (-;

Just putting it out there, if anyone has a GF ticket guarantee, and it is in Perth and sadly they can't go, I would be willing to pay, and I would be flying back to Australia anyway, so the quarantine is no matter, I will need to do anyway. And even if we don't make it I still get to see family. Is obviously a risk because it feels like a jinx to plan for a GF we are not in yet, but it is doing my head in at the thought of missing it. Seeing a prelim in Perth wouldn't hurt either.

I think on their forum they said if there is a link to the club by the (moderated) they would be binned. I really liked Adam Simpson's take on racism on the Amazon Prime documentary. He was clear about not walking past it and calling it out on the spot. Explained clearly and with passion.

Personally I think Clarko is coaching for wins just to [censored] with Hawthorns draft position. 😈

I was meaning to do some research on this, but i have only seen one lost all year, any other tragic who has the stat on this?

2m Peter at Essendon yesterday had me thinking about Weid. Persist I say, I would also be happy if Tmac took a rest, we need him in good shape for finals and I actually reckon Weid would be better in a mobile role a’la Tmac, even if not as good… yet.

Bern saying this about Viney all year perfect for finals and the GF dance.

G'day Rab, thanks for the hello, I assume from the likes to your post, more than one was interested so will reply here and not on PM. I work as the Operations head for the UN World Food Programme (https://www.wfp.org/countries/sudan) , which basically means professional garbage sweeper. Whenever there are dramas with our operation (generally vibrations between our Programme and Logistics units or Government interference) I gather the folks together and we either sing Kumbayah or crack heads together, whatever folks choose. Have worked in lots of countries (East Timor/Kenya/Somalia/PNG/Italy/USA/Sierra Leone/Ghana/Uganda/Ethiopia/Sweden/Germany+++) I did a trip to Meroe and it was very cool, sunset, a full moon and sunrise with the pyramids amongst the sand dunes was way cool, felt like i was on a starwars set. there are also temple ruins not too far away that are ultra impressive for detail. Glad you ask about the railway, quite proud of that, we (WFP) are fixing it, we did Port Sudan to Kosti (so freight can go now from Port Sudan to Kosti then by Barge to south Sudan. Now the old régime (Bashir) is on the outer, we don't have a bunch of @#$^$%& generals forcing us to use their trucks for transport and we can support the rehabilitation of rail, good for so many reasons, including environmental. We now have a 80 million dollar project to fix connections to Gedaref, the Darfurs and eventually South Sudan. Re Wadi Halfa the train is not regular but will be getting better. The first operation for WFP (#001) was actually feeding people dislocated by the Aswan dam and relocated to Wadi Halfa. will stop there as this is a mighty derail (sorry) of the thread, replies for more detail please PM. Re what's it like, the people are brilliant, a level of hospitality and honesty that has to be seen to be believed, if you only watched CNN you'd never understand how brilliant people usually are. It is also hot and dusty and often tragic. The alcohol ban is mega annoying, but I specialize in logistics. I enjoy my job which helps, recently working on the Tigrayans displaced from the civil war in Ethiopia, setting up food supply and distribution to some remote spots.

Agree with all this, and was going to ask what you thought of Taylor but you finished it off nicely.

Taylor owned Hawkins and is to the eye, 10kg+ lighter, that was a serious game by him. I also watched Hawkins do half a dozen dirty things to try and put him off. Was sitting CDG Paris waiting for my flight back to Sudan (would rather be in Melbourne believe me) and had nothing to do so watched the game. I was very impressed with how excited they were about the win as well.. Just sad we don't pound the cats next week, they will be very sore [censored] after tonight.

Real gold there. Loved how the giants banged up the Cats, very good for us.

Personally I am hoping 2018 PF still burns and that the club has had this one pencilled in all year. This is the one I want more than any other in the H+A season. This gets us 2nd or 3rd and the perfect drop into the finals. (Adelaide etc)

LoL, is this original, is genius?
