Fork 'em

A moment in time I'll ever forget was when I was behind the goals at the Jolimont end watching Mebourne V Geelong during the 80's. High fly ball into the goal square and you had Ablett, Brownless, Danny Hughes and aother Melbourne defender I can't recall coming from different directions at near full pace to converge at the drop of the ball. 4 big men , knees up, flying for the mark/spoil with reckless abandon for their personnel safety. No-one actually took the mark, no-one was injured but at the time it was something I felt like putting my hands to my face and watching through my fingers such was the impact. Awesome stuff up close and what makes ya pay ya money to go see it.

Consensus from a bunch of one-eyed alarmists.

Hmmnn .... Where have I seen this before 😕

Correct. I cannot remember a single player being knocked out and stretchered off after a hanger had been taken on them.

Letting Collingwood do what they wanted with Langdon after the "Duck/Dinner" hype of the previous week was a disgrace. Also saw Weitering standing over Pickett last year trying to intimidate him with his size after they exchanged a few words. The only fella who turned up to support Pickett was Spargo who grabbed Pickett and steered him away. Players have gotta know their teammates aren't gonna let them to get publicly mugged by their opponents. Viney will always fly the flag but though tough he's also small. And when he does, usually against a larger opponent .... He gets no back up. Not good enough as a team.

I disagree. May is hard but fair. If he was flyin' with his knees there'd be opposition dropping left right and centre.

Looks like its gonna be Gawny the one man band. Thoughts for Trac ... He'd be feelin' it right now.

Problem is our goal kicking is abhorrent more often than not.

Yep ... And though he's tough as they come he aint big or scary.

We'll go down. The 'Dynasty' is over and normal programming will now resume. Sunday arvos here we come.

And this is what bugs me the most. Essendon and Collingwood are celebrated on ANZAC day because no matter how bad either of them are going they put on a show usually. Us ... Nup, turn up our toes like the basket case we are. Oh .... And sick of all the BS coming from the club. Just STFU and play. Don't care what ya think ya gonna do. Just forken .... DO.

And that .... Is why I went fishin' instead. Still had to turn the radio off just after half time cause they were ruining my serenity. Pathetic.

Just found a clip I hadn't seen before.

Which is exactly what they want.

He would but he'd have to get his own ball.

C'mon Ooze.

It's only dusk. Unless we do some amazing trading/drafting the dawn is ages away.

Ah Demonland post loss. Get tired of dissecting the game and then turn on each other. I've just dropped by to declare my disgust before bed as I prepare to face the clowns at work in the morning. But hey, done it most my life so I'll just chuckle, agree the Dees are a joke and move on. Gonna be in a world of pain when Tassie comes in. But hey, done that a few times before too eh. Chins up folks.

100%. And apart from the flag they played in another state during a season with no crowds and almost choked, the era's been a fail. There are few clubs who can embarrass their supporters like ours. Forken Goodwin bangin' on about earning respect ... My god.

What a joke this club is.

The AFL will come up with some BS propaganda for the Golden Boy. St.Kilda player already in a falling motion, Low impact , accidental football action , yadda yadda .... Here's a fine play on.

I'll just leave this here. 40mins of poetry. And didn't we love him.

Been bangin' on about manipulation of outcomes by the corrupt AFL for ages. Fixturing, umpiring, goal review, MRP are all used to manipulate an outcome. The AFL follow the money and their "Umpire Coach" excuse was typically shonky AF. The sheeple call them conspiracy theories. I call 'em Spoiler Alerts.

And how do you get a huge supporter base? Not by boring everyone to death that's for sure.

If sport isn't entertainment .... Why do we watch? The AFL is fighting for the attention of the masses against all other forms of entertainment out there. And if you have contact with any kids these days you'll notice they have the attention spans of gnats. Then try keeping one amused through a Melbourne game.
