Fork 'em

Lets not forget the bloke who should've retired 3 yrs ago.

Ok ... I've finally had enough. Later losers.

And slow it down

The problem is Prime time free to air games. Put us on and we're Forken embarrassing.

Playing junior footy maybe.

FMD.

Cause thats how we roll.

Put Petracca on the ball.

And Jones centres it to 2 port players .....

To be honest I would have voted yes at the time too. There was often talk in the media how Victoria couldn't sustain so many sides. My thinking was that we get on the front foot and go for it to capitalise on any AFL concessions. Join memberships and players making a quite formidable outfit. It was looking as Melbourne would also be the dominant party in the merge which was a reason Don Scott went on his now famous jumper striping rant.

Typical home ground decision. In the Fritta one the crowd were screaming for the 50. For the Petracca one they weren't.

Essendon didn't get looked at when Nixon outed them for paying both Hird and Lloyd outside the cap in 2000. https://www.zerohanger.com/ricky-nixon-explains-rorted-salary-cap-9852/

No. And you wouldn't want to.

Be content for the next week.

I'd pick Nibbler over Jones purely for his workrate. Jones is finished ..... Or should be.

Have a look at the faces on the Richmond blokes ?

Lyon was at the helm during some pretty flaky stuff as well. Also was the Mayor of Hollywood Boulevard.

I'd suggest they hadn't actually ruled him out and didn't want the opposition to know he had a very sensitive cheek.

The great Ronald Dale also said if he had a choice between a goer and a kid with natural talent .... "I'll take the goer everytime." Or words to that effect. In the book 'The Coach.'

I'd die a contented man.

He doesn't just tackle them. He grinds them into the ground. Provides the mongrel. Love his work.

Well .... I found it funny. Not sure if I'm allowed though. But I'm sure a couple of the local preacher men will tell me.

I'll throw in Essendon. May they permanently occupy the bottom rungs.

Reckon you're spot on. They hit the jackpot in a couple draft years picking up Hodge, Lewis, Franklin, Roughy and Rioli. Poached Burgoyne and Gibson and as you said held their position on top with Geelong cherry picking other lists as the rest of the comp squabbled over the draft picks that GCS and GWS didn't want. And as you say their arrogance believing their "Culture" will turn average players from other clubs into superstars has failed. Remember they also took Fitzy. Saw today that Clarkeson still doesn't believe the answer is going back to the draft. I hope that dooms them to a decade or two in the doldrums.

You mentioned some others. Some good stuff And try this one on. Should really get you pontificating with one of your sermons.
