Friday

Dear H, Put your head down, train your arse off, win yourself a 2 year extension worth more than what you would have got for the past 2 years. The end.

100 games = life membership?

We play on sunday every week. the top 3 umpires umpire Friday night. The next best on the saturday. then we get lumped with the spuds on the sunday. It wasn't even a free to air game = borderline VFL umpires. Razor ray would have a fit if he had to umpire a melbourne game and would blow his whistle about 200 times in the first quarter. 27 field umpires umpire each week. We consistently get numbers 20-27 all the time.

he has terrible taste in music. and he couldn't commentate an egg and spoon race.

yes, lets get rid of everyone over the age of 23. Then we can really get to the foundations of the rebuild's rebuild's rebuild.

big max's mark was 10x better. And goal of the year combined. Wrestles 2 off and goes BOOM

it's just what happens when 17th plays 18th..... you get the 25/26/27 ranked umpires...

Being injected with vitamins by one of Australia's leading sports scientists is nothing to worried about. It's common practise to inject vitamins, flu shots etc. Essendon pushed the boundaries of the WADA code WITHOUT doctor supervision. the sky isn't falling

"ONE GAME OUT OF THE 8"

Love it. Non negotiables must to be met. Watts, Blease etc did not meet them. FFS he's in his 5th year - THEY ALL need to know, if you don't compete, you're out. there will be others, and until they do compete... look out.

11. GROW A BEARD

Solid advice from someone in the know - for anyone looking to get a beard on for this Saturday

Actually Daisycutter, they will have MORE time to focus on football instead of wasting 8 minutes a day shaving. You sound like a someone who fears the beard.

The beard does consume a lot of time. I'm already 1 hour into my beard growing and i'm absolutely consumed by the thought. I think Jack watts wasn't looking at the floor, he was looking at his beard. It's a powerful thing.

I'm sick to death of everyone telling these boys to Shave their beards off. Don McLardy: Grow a beard. Cameron Schwab: Grow a Beard. Gary Lyon: Grow a Beard Every supporter, player, coach, trainer needs to GROW A BEARD. Show some solidarity as a club united as one under the beard. Do you really think a beard makes you play badly? If anything it makes you 10% tougher. Adds to balance and stream lines the body making it faster. A beard demands respect. FEAR THE BEARD. you want a song to play before the match?!? I'm sure this band have one http://www.youtube.com/user/TheBeardsAustralia

the most inside 50's ANY team has had. That is unacceptable. Royal has to go. HAS to. The back line can't help if the midfield lets the ball in ALL the time. He is responsible for it. It's him or Neeld. Someone HAS to go. Surely there is a fresh out of the modern game midfield player who wants to impress who can come straight in and inspire / lead this midfield group to improve.

there is no gameplan?

ANY ONE WITH A BEARD WILL BE SACKED

about as much as your mum. you don't trade the captain. Ever. The above is a sly snipe at the bloke to lift his game. Nothing more. S'house disposal. needs to lift.

Is Jack Grimes the only Captain to have kicked the ball out of bounds on the full more than ANY other Captain (player?) in the competition (2012) ....? C'mon you stat monkey's. Prove me wrong.

i'm sorry. but green? give up. You are a battler. Green would beat probably 3/4 of collingwoods list to a game.

LOL HOW CAN YOU LIST PEOPLE WHO HAVEN'T PLAYED AHEAD OF OTHERS. caps are for effect [censored]

LOL jaded... you stick up for jake spencer and snipe moloney. pathetic.
