Riewoldt rates Hogan as better forward than TMac
Jessie is a gorilla that can barely kick the skin off a pudding and is suspect @ distances 40m+ Until he fixes that he will always disappoint. That he has the football DNA and brain is without doubt. FWIW I still think he can find that distance if he works at it.

Sam Kerr to the Demons (I wish)
https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.chicagotribune.com/sports/soccer/ct-spt-samantha-kerr-red-stars-haugh-20180601-story,amp.html The AFL threw a ridiculous amount of money at K.Hunt. (and poisoned a whole team's culture) why can't we (i know why) do something cool like poach soccer's best female talent. She was a footy player first. I am sure she would kick a stack of goals. I firmly believe AFLW will help footy survive today's growingly (is that a work (-;) risk averse society. My seppo mates think NFL is dying because not enough kids are playing peewee/pop warner footy. We need to do everything to future proof Australian footy, including poaching everything from Soccer. And I reckon Sam would look great in a Dees jumper.

Post Practice Match Discussion - Melbourne v Collingwood
Warne-Smith had German ancestry as well.

Post Practice Match Discussion - Melbourne v Collingwood
I agree, unless Preuss is some sort of amazing goal kicker which seems unlikely, not even North would be that stupid to let someone like that go. I still don't reconcile why and how he is with us. They have alot of eggs in the Goldstein and Brown basket.

Post Practice Match Discussion - Melbourne v Collingwood
I can see the pressure on goal kicking go up if the 'coast to coast' goal category goes up? Imagine if St Kilda had another year of shocking goal kicking. I also see the need for defensive forward pressure making Jeffy's spot tenuous.

Post Practice Match Discussion - Melbourne v Collingwood
Your thoughts on Preuss and Gawn in same team please? Am worried we will be found wanting defending kickins with such a large number of talls forward.

Congratulations Bernie
'My new best mate! Harvey Timothy' What a lovely, heartfelt thing for a dad to say, so simple, but those words will make that little fella always remember his dad loved him. Top bloke that Bernie!

Farewell Jesse Hogan
For some reason I haven't understood, he lost his timing, seemed to go to early, confused the hell out of me watching. He certainly did the work leading.

Most Heartwarming Win?
All time (for a bloke born 1970): 87 Rd22 Defeating Footscray 94 QF Schwarz+others Beating Carlton 00 QF smashing Carlton Special mention the come back against the Dockers. When you could believe in a future: Melbourne winning in Geelong in 2015 Melbourne winning against Hawks in 2016. When you knew we had arrived: Melbourne EF in 2018. Looked like the scariest side in the comp. we are a finals winning side, built to smash teams, this year we will be devastating to others.

Fox Footy's 2019 Top 8 Predictions
Yes, I really hope so. Team I want to beat this year, I to wouldn't mind additions to the 'when will this record be broken', such as losing margin. Preferably Geelong to take it over.

Fox Footy's 2019 Top 8 Predictions
Hmm of that list, Collingwood is a top 4 side with the experience at 666, a bit of a worry.

Calling All MCC Members
I am very content to pay both, club membership is such a better model over the owner based system the seppos have.

New Major Sponsor - Jaguar CONFIRMED
Heh, I was amazed to find common interests beyond the Dees too.

New Major Sponsor - Jaguar CONFIRMED
I once thought that too, the name is a coincidence, they companies were not connected. Correction a British engineer bought the rights to the name and motor design but afterwards was always a english company.

New Major Sponsor - Jaguar CONFIRMED
Yes it had the Jag 5.3lt 300hp engine, was released as the double six, Daimler was a UK company bought by Jag in 1960. Basically aXJ stretch saloon.

New Major Sponsor - Jaguar CONFIRMED
Super happy about the sponsor. My dad had the W12 saloon with fabric roof (Daimler), I still remember going to Snowy Mountains for a summer holiday with a little 3 cyl Suzuki 4WD, a Honda moto bike on the trailer, and my 2 brothers plus camping gear blasting along at 140km/h listening to Neil Diamond and Willie Nelson on the cassette player, was epic. My uncle had the E type until the rear axle broke off. I have had a life long love of Jags ever since. Dad had the car until I was 18/19 and I got to drive it, including at speed, you really could see the fuel gauge move.

Demon expats
Thanks I will and it's not, but the scuba diving is 1st class in DJB, swimming with whale sharks next week. Reason for going is my partner got a (good) job there. It is 50 to 55 deg in summer Jul/Aug/Sep, utterly miserable, but she is the love of my life and mother to our kid so what to do. Security wise it is safe in Djibouti so no stress there. I also bought 200kg + of italian produce ( kilos of walnuts and pine nuts and pasta etc) so I can make pizzas and bread etc which are hard to find. The cheese will require some more logistical expertise but that is in my lane as well. As for Yemen it is close to her and has good FIFO ratio, and well my life insurance is huge... and we will build a bunker at the port like you wouldn't believe for when those Saudi S.O.B. are bombing everything. Upside to Yemen is the Houthi hate ISIS and they have all been potted, so hopefully no orange is the new black style jump suit for moi. But yes sad to be leaving Rome. PS she did organize an awesome TV and internet connection for home so watching footy will still happen.

Demon expats
This is seriously good info, I always bought a club family membership, I wonder if I can get a pass being overseas?, the membership has always been more of a donation than used. Because paying for watch afl on top of the membership is expensive. FWIW Rome Italy the last 4 years- hugely enjoyable place to live, places to watch afl as well. Moving to the ar$e of the earth, Djibouti, this month to follow wife's job, I will probably end up working in Hoediadah, Yemen, on a 4 week rotation, so big changes, A big fear will be slow internet. 2 years and hopefully our last crappy gig and back to Europe.
