Fork 'em

When the MCG really was our home ground. Having a kick on the field after the game. Having a kick on the concrete behind the goals during the game. Watching training at the "G". Sitting where-ever you liked. Proper all in brawls. The Bump. Affordable Superdogs.

Same here.

Spoken like a true downhill skier.

A couple years ago when both Schwab & Connolly were at their chirpiest they constantly spoke as if success was just around the corner . We were peeking at lists of a future premiership side that had kids names (Blease , Strauss , Trengove , Scully , Tapscott etc) on them we hadn't even yet seen play. All we had to do was get games into them and watch like proud fathers as they blossomed. Great salesman they are , we gobbled it up.

I'm going with laziest which leads to most unfit.

At least we weren't bored to fricken tears when getting smashed under Bailey. And if you in the southern stand bring binoculars as the only time you'll get a close up of the action is when the ball wizzes past held by unmanned opposition.

Same when Scully came and the players were in awe of his fitness and professional attitude. Had the good sense to take the money and run. And we thought he was stupid.

I've always said that its easy to support a club thats at the top of the table. It shows character to endure what we have IMO. And it's also been shown that we have the lowest turnover of members from year to year.

Richards career was quite long enough. Had the tools but very rarely produced. Kicked about 3 goals against the top side Dawks and earned his nickname Rhino by putting dipper on his arze the day you mentioned but that was about the total sum of his career.

Didn't take Sheedy long to turn a ball player into a thug . Won't do McDonalds reputation any favours if he spends his last year ironing out kids.

Funny you should say that . Went fishing with a mate who is a Pies supporter on the weekend who is good mates with Nigel Lappin. Lappin reakons the Lions rarely bothered putting a tag on Buckley as they knew he wouldn't hurt 'em . Anthony Rocca was their main focus apparently.

Macca was good at racking up 30 nothing possessions . There .... I said it .

Can't believe the AFL is confirming by Tweet now .

BJ & AJ . Before Jim .... After Jim .

On another Tangent . Interesting the difference in mindset for Mcdonald since listening to the aggressive Sheedy for a pre-season . In spite of being on the MRP over the last year, McDonald though a strong tackler with us, ran past the ball to make heavy high contact with an opposition player . Can't remember him delivering too many hits of that calibre while running around in red & blue.

For worse .

I haven't looked at it closely (ie whether his feet were on the ground etc) but geez that looked a good hit. Thats the problem with todays game , the Fat Controller has sanitised it far too much. As for the MRP , my tip is , due to Vlad & GWS circumstances ...... He'll get off.

Anyone have a league that needs a player ?

I agree, he had to put his grubby fingerprints all over it.

Yep , cover Blown . I'd like to know what really went on leading up to 186 and what "Hells Gates/Cols" take on it was.

What is Akers career again , dial-a-dumb-quote ?

But Erin Mcnaughty is gonna be on it .

Gotta agree . Maquires arrogance riles me like no other. Even yesterday he wrote how he and Stynes would talk about building up the QB clash. This after numerous backhanders of late in the media with several threats to get the QB game taken off us. Would love Mclardy to step up and rip some shreds off him. Point out a few home truths that Maquire turns a hypocritical blind eye too.

We cannot let the club disend into the state of disrepair that it was before Jim took over.
