  1. Unfortunately all water under the bridge, but the two decisions that day just showed how clueless and inconsistent are the MRP.
  2. ..we don't actually have a great record in milestone games, as I recall. We need to get Nike as a sponsor - JUST DO IT !
  3. Thanks to you and to KC too for sharing your observations. Disappointing words re the Weed - clearly he has lost all confidence and needs a prolonged time at Casey - Jesse returning soon will help his cause. Also disappointing that Billy Stretch is also not making an impact. Has he been asked to play a different rôle, which has hampered his confidence too? I had thought it would be only a matter of a short time before he was recalled.
  4. Certainly is. Not really up to standard as a feeder comp for the big league with all those byes. Presumably WAFL and SANFL are better organized?
  5. And I understand your reservations about my 'cliche', so I will rephrase. Until we play at our best for far longer periods within games (and between games) we will struggle. One has to wonder just how much is physical / conditioning, and how much is mental / psychological.
  6. Trouble is, so far, our best is only 1-2 quarters a game. There is a huge difference between "should be" and "is"! Until that is addressed by the playing group we will remain marginal.
  7. I'd love to run into anyone in the finals, because it would mean we were back into finals after far too long.
  8. What would enhance Melbourne's finals chances would be to play four quarters every week. Getti g tired of depending in others: fate helps those who help themselves.
  9. Not if we just keep on winning
  10. What would enhance Melbourne's finals chances would be to play four quarters every week. Getting tired of depending on others: fate helps those who help themselves. A bit like Garry Player's famous quote: "The harder I practice the luckier I get"!
  11. I don't think they were going to pay high if you drive head down into an opponent's midriff And Norf goals from a throw pass Can Toiges pull off a narrow loss from here?
  12. Poor discipline by Norf Scott will be apoplectic at ¾ time - looking forward to seeing him. Toiges throwing away set shots though.
  13. I have been a bit of a fan but don't think he will find a place of his own and suspect that he will be delisted.
  14. Yes. There is absolutely nothing like able about him. Never looks happy - Druggists deserve him and vice versa.
  15. Remind me who is on the MRP? Even the one who said a couple of weeks back that he had no idea about striking rules will be determining the fate of one of his ex teammates. A totally disreputable inept and corrupt body Just looking at the lead up to the "jumper punch" it looked like Menagola may have sunk in a short slipper jab. I am sure it won't be looked at though.
  16. Essendon v West Coast - both are used to being high (on something or other)!
  17. GC look like choking again
  18. Has anyone seen him in the ruck? Is this a role he can or may be able to fill? DA - you have ruined my weekend! I had totally forgotten about this self centred headless chook!
  19. I had to read that a few times - I presume the prudish censor dislikes a term referring to feline creatures.
  20. Jimmy will say he has no conflict of interest when Hawkins gets off, or offered maybe 1 - he will say he is still confused, though he didn't;t seem too confused when they offered Jesse 2 and Salem 1. And just how awful a commentator is BT - just appalling cliches. I do have a mute button but unfortunately don't have an old fashioned radio, and AFL web radio is s few seconds behind.
  21. Further back - Dr Don Duffy started it all
  22. Froggy's surely must be THE one, snatching our last flag against the great enemy in most unexpected circumstances.
  23. Ty the Hawk would seriously challenge on all of those criteria. Will call it a nil all draw.
  24. A final? What is that? Is it what happens in September when we are up at the lodge at Buller? ? Jokes aside, he is an opportunist who opponents will lose sight of for just a moment, at their peril
