  1. WTF free off the ball to Wagner s we streamed forward !!
  2. Prophetic, Norm
  3. Just a thought - I understand that the Elsternwick golf course is to be closed and used for "open space". It is right next to Elsternwick Park cnr Glenhuntly Road and Nepean Highway; close to Elsternwick station and also trams. Would that be worth at least exploring?
  4. Probably a bit of both actually.
  5. I think Titus O’Reilly suggested that some 3D Marvel superhero would be coming at us from the scoreboard after every goal, presumably with loud music or smoke and mirrors. It is an appalling affront, and prevents any conversation during the breaks, which used to be one of the great things about going to the footy. Still I imaging Gillon and his mates behind the glass wouldn’t be bothered by such stuff, so couldn’t care less what the peasants wanted.
  6. IF Colonwood did return to “their ancestral home” then would not the Olympic Park oval and facilities become vacant ...... I realize it would feel dirty for a while, but .... In the meantime the small size of our training oval at Goshs could being an issue, surely be modified to match the G with little or no disruption to trees and other amenities.
  7. 90 percent of statisticians believe in their craft, but another 60 percent don’t. ? Maybe someone could find comparative club by club stats for contested marks inside 50 as well as total marks inside 50.
  8. “Tassie” Bob Johnson, number 8 full back in our glory days, though iirc he rucked part time and also spent a bit of time at CHF in the early 1960s. Drop kick, from the muddy goal square to the muddier centre glue pot, time after time even with a wet muddy ball.
  9. ManDee - it is usually (or at least used to be) primary syphilis at uni, tertiary sneaks up on one many years later and ...... sorry I forgot what I was saying ..... can cause early dementia (though not as far as I am aware DEEmentia)
  10. Nothing that would get past the (&^*&^^&$^$$#@%$^%&)(* auto censor.
  11. Perhaps he is the sane one, realising that there can be a lot of harm from overusing antisocial media. If that is what he has done and why, congratulations to him.
  12. Just did google map - from the G to Casey Fields at 8:30 pm 45 minutes! Much longer any time in daylight any day of the week. certainly plenty of area. A matter of claiming a spot of our own. And of course preseason training would be disrupted by the Grand Prix. Maybe Gil and the other Grand [censored] could sacrifice the polo pitch opposite pit straight? Cricket (and Grand Prix) clash with preseason. Sadly MFC don’t have many heavies (other perhaps than than Steven May presenting for preseason ?)
  13. chook - your own observations, statistics, or speculation ??
  14. As I recall, nobody played well in 1978 ?
  15. Some sort of record low inside 50 conversion to any score let alone goals. Can some stats guru find the data Please? Queen’s Fat Bottomed Girls? A very rare moment of joy in an awful game. Two come from behind wins in a row - how un Melbounian. Didn’t mark what he should have but recovered composure in the nick of tome. Like last night’s game, did the siren sound before the vital last kick (mark last night)? I must say I feared it had.
  16. In 2018, out 2019
  17. Past tense D Beat news is only 11 more minutes of this [censored] to watch before we can move on to planning 2025
  18. 14 more inside 50 and a only just ahead, somehow. What an absolute rabble.
  19. Are you sure you are not an alias for Titus?
  20. Yet another goalless quarter. Are there stats re dominating inside 50 without scoring goals? We must surely be near some sort of record.
  21. Early call on Keilty I reckon but OMG OMD can’t defend.
  22. Technical stuff dreamed up by Gill and Shocking who of course will never dream of admitting it contributes zero positive to the game.
  23. How could that possible in anyone’s mind not be holding the man. Corruption reigns
  24. IN: S May to pour beers for the GC$ before the game and at breaks.
  25. That is in fact a tiny oval for match simulations. Could however be widened without major works from what I can remember, and also maybe lengthened? But could we get the next Brock McLean or Chri$$$ Judd to buy in to the long drive? And who is going to pay for that? Transport alone would be a huge investment and would be starting from scratch. The Feds and State have already overcommitted to Kardinia Park and Western Oval redevelopments - would they be prepared to do the same for us?
