Why did Donald Trump cross the road?

Because the taxes were too high in Boston.

Trump would cross any road if it meant lower taxes (Boston being a centre for high taxes)?

With his history of bankruptcies (6, or is it 7), I imagine he’d walk straight under a bus, which might be a very satisfactory punch line for that joke.

Trump living rent free in your heads.
Now that's funny 🤣🤣

I think there's a fair bit of tall poppy in there but that's the way it goes in AFL.

I prefer to call it the "Haves" and "Have nots".
The big clubs with their preferential treatment are the haves.

Sorry, constant night games are rubbish for taking kids to the footy. Particularly when most with young families live towards outer suburbia these days, your looking at 12:00am - 1:00am until you get home. Doing that with pre-teen kids every week isn't fun at all.

That said, early Sunday afternoon games aren't that great either, because they tend to clash with Jnr footy, which is typically played on a Sunday.

I am so over the AFL constantly scheduling games to suit whatever their TV masters desire as opposed to the real fans. Please give us back more of our traditional Saturday 2:10pm time slot.

Sorry, primetime night games are where the eyeballs are and everything else flows from that.
Sponsorship and advertising dollars while your team is front and center as often as they can be which keeps the membership and kids attention flowing.
Sunday arvo graveyard shift are death.

People have to open their eyes.
This is the TIK TOK entertainment era.
People can't their attention span for 45seconds without scrolling on.
You reckon they're going to watch 2hrs of monotonous defensive footy on a sunday arvo.
Forken .... NO.

I prefer Sunday afternoon to Saturday evening.

Maybe cause Saturday evening is past your bedtime.

If we want this club to survive into the future we need to be able keep the Mobs attention (especially kids).
Play fast entertaining footy or die.

That is the result of finishing 14th 2 years in a row.

And a boring as Bat sheet game plan.
We're in the entertainment business and need to play a brand people want to actually watch.
Until we prove we can ..... Sunday arvo it is.

Correct decision has been made.

I am just grateful he didn't end up at Geelong, that would have the bitterest of pills.

I won't begrudge him a flag at the Giants. Go well Clarry.

IF Oliver can help Hogan get a flag I'm all for it.
Just as long as Hardwick doesn't get another one.

I'd rather be boring and win a flag than be entertaining and watch teams cut us up every other week.

Could be just me.

You wanna fill the MCG, get prime time games, sell memberships, attract sponsors and inspire kids to follow Melbourne and build the supporter base.
You don't bore them to tears.
You play fast exciting footy.

We're in the entertainment business.

Ya know when the season starts and 2-3games in you realise all the pre-season talk of a new faster gamestyle has all been BS and you're just watching the same stale stuff that didn't work the year before ....
Well it's not going to be like that this year.
Yes there will be teething issues no doubt but at least we're trying to head forward.
I'm excited to see something different to the boring gameplan Goodwins been dishing up.
Hope King brings what he's been selling.
Looking forward to it being far more entertaining.
Cáuse we are in the entertainment business.

Collingwood living rent free in our heads.

Tell ya what list managers.
Maybe I can deal with Oliver leaving and I'll wish him the best.

But if you send him to Collingwood I will SPEW UP! and hate what you've done forever.

That game and that moment were one of the few high points of the season just gone.

He aint perfect but he's ours.

Maybe, but Bedford was on our list for 3 years, then exploded for GWS.

Maybe cause Goodwin only gave him a game here and there to come on as a sub.
We were crying out for genuine speed yet he kept playing Spargo.
He hobbled us and blew a chance at least 1 more flag being stubborn and boring.
Shoulda got rid of him 2yrs ago.

Personally losing Clarry hits harder than Petracca, I really thought he was coming good towards the end of the season and would have a spot in the team moving forward. Sad end for a guy who will always be an MFC champion and one of the best players to ever wear the red and blue.

Not expecting us to get much at all for him.

100%
He's my favourite player.
I dunno what he's like around the club but it pains me no end a 4 time Bluey winner, 3 time All Australian, 2 time AFLCA player of the Year and 1 time Premiership gun has found himself on the outer somehow.
And looks like we're willing to cough our Champ up for bugger all.
Speechless.

I didn't believe you at first but you've kept it up long enough.. I'll give you the benefit of the doubt.

Just ran across these.
But the one I saw he had whippet/greyhounds that could really hammer.
Was entertaining 😁👍
