  1. He obviously remembers, unhappily, his encounter with Mr Grinter. You would think he could be grateful to our club for the (rumoured) six figure payout. PS: :-))))) 'tragic waste of skin' :-)))). An apt description
  2. ....yet does not feature in prime time ! I also can watch on demand, but it is used to be good to sit down on a Friday night and watch a good game, and not the same teams each week. ** but the thing is that it is NOT based on the previous year's form, and certainly NOT on the attractiveness of game styles from the previous year
  3. Hey Tim. Thanks for, partly through the absence of leadership from you know who when the team he captained was getting who knows what in an underhanded attempt at gaining illegal advantage, gifting us two of our most valuable contributors. I wonder who taught him what leadership involves? It is about the only win we have had in the trades involving your old club. Thanks. And by the way my care factor for the opinions of you, or the other unmentionable mentioned in this report, or of helium man, is far below zero
  4. Brilliant work Gill dill (no doubt prompted by Fitzpatrick) rewarding the Blues for their mediocrity. May it bite you in the bum.
  5. In fairness they did get there - we had yet to do that for far too long, and haven’t performed nearly as well as they did for 53 years ?
  6. Redraft the thread title Clarry "one of the best to emerge in last 20 years"
  7. And how good is it that there is competition for the place .... nobody can rest on their laurels. And if I heard correctly Pedersen was up there backing the team even though he may have felt he should be in the team. Great club spirit.
  8. A very similar story to Neville .... almost forced to give the game away and returns with dominance. Well done Gus ... hard work and persistence; and also kudos to the footy department for keeping faith in both of these stars
  9. Maybe he should be “managed”? ? But seriously he more than most (Robbie Flower and Bob Skelton maybe exceptions) deserves to taste success. I still remember watching him burn the field at Sandringham earning his promotion. What a hard nut. Hopefully that was “the old Melbourne” The new one I have watched the past five rounds shouldn’t allow such things to occur.
  10. Lets hope that it isn’t so close this time.
  11. Hogan - listen for siren ??
  12. Does anyone really think that he could possibly enjoy playing under Ross Lyon with his 6-8 goal a game forward line? (Could anyone for that matter - doesn’t look like anyone does at the moment) Seriously, what a special talent who appears to be enjoying every moment (well almost, other than the after siren play on brain fade) Well done Jesse - we love you and look forward to many years kicking multiple goals and assisting Demon teammates kick many more.
  13. Apologies Rusty. I was replying to the previous poster who was talking about Max. My bad.
  14. Great idea, helium man. About as successful as your various attempts at coaching.
  15. Unfortunately didn't see the match and am looking forward to the replay. But it is interesting from the stats that he (Max) had ZERO marks today in a dominant team performance. I guess that confirms that stats are just that ... stats.
  16. Whoever made the call to play him as a winger deserves a gold medal. Fantastic move. Calm, aggressive, beautiful mover and reader of the play and silky disposal.
  17. Maybe, but only after watching the replay Thanks Mark.
  18. NO EXCUSES! Just kill from the opening bounce.
  19. I notice that nobody has dared start a changes for next week thread. ???
  20. Even in your day Barrie I can’t remember such dominance ...... but you won a flag and these guys haven’t ...... yet! That is their challenge.
  21. As could Nev ? OMG. Name the 2% and we will admonish them ?
  22. ?? Quite obviously GW$$$$ and Carlton need to share the first ten picks this draft.
  23. Thanks for the summation Drunkn and to you and others for their reports on all Casey games. A few specific queries when you get a moment. Petty - how is he developing, what role is he playing and is he close to a call up? If so whose spot would he be competing for? Baker - same questions and how is his pace you mentioned some runs. Were these runs based on super pace or evasiveness and reading the play? Balic - is he a HFF FP type or can you compare him with anyone in the seniors? How is his pace? Smith - last year started on fire as a HBF type until Riewoldt did his shoulder. He hasn’t seemed (from reports) to have regained any of that form. What is his current role? Does he appear to have made a full physical recovery? Has he recovered mentally? Thanks so much
  24. Easton Wood also was always referred to in full ...... maybe the morons in the commentary box think he has a hyphen.
