Fork 'em

How long do we have to keep watching this garbage. Till the club has withered and died a slow death. Sack Goodwin tomorrow.

Need to remember we're also in the entertainment business. You aint gonna inspire many kids to support Melbourne if we're boring them to tears. As I stated earlier, same with getting primetime games, bums on seats and selling memberships. Big picture stuff.

May kicks out to left flank to Gawn which results in a ball up. Ball finds it's way rugby maul style till we get a man open at half forward. Wait till forward line is choked full of players and then put it on Gawns head in left forward pocket. Scramble around, snap shot from boundary line surrounded by opposition ... Point. Repeat. I also remember one of the players after the ANZAC eve game stating on TV in '22 that we aim to make the blockbusters as boring as they could after slowly choking richmond to death. Another game Kozzie Picket was asked about our suffocating game plan, his reply "It's all about defence really." And Goodwin KPI for all games was to keep the opposition under 60pts. Problem was we only needed to kick 61pts ourselves. I dunno who the hell you been watchin'.

And that's how you put bums on seats, get primetime free to air games and sell memberships. Something that's completely lost on Goodwin and co. We've wasted most of our window playing boring defensive uninspiring footy.

No Bont , no Dogs.

Was demonstrated at a wedding I attended once. The brides family was all Essendon and the grooms all Collingwood. At the reception a Collingwood/Essendon chant started up with both families trying to drown each other out. Gotta say the Collingwood side looked as they were straight out've the movie Deliverance. And I sheet you not the MC was an actual clown, make-up, clown suit, the works. How apt.

Forget Carlton. I only watched the highlights but can see their small forwards absolutely terrorising our backline. And I've never seen a collection of "Look a' moi" posers in all my life.

I hope you're right.

100% Both supporter bases are interchangeable nuffies. Collingwood are special tho'. Went to Victoria Park once. Walking up to the gate I had a retarded bloke in a black'n white wheelchair tell us to "Fork off Melbourne." while flipping the weirdest bird I'd ever seen. For a kid raised at the MCG I was flabbergasted. Then had to watch 'em overrun a 27pt 3/4 time lead. I thought the Zulus we're comin'.

Beat us to another flag.

I'm surprised coaches don't put a stop to celebrations like it due to injury risks TBH. Remember Roos ripped Petracca a new one for doin' his ankle playin' basketball.

I'm torn. Wish Ooze all the best and Richmond all the worst. It's complicated.

I actually think this is a thing. Maybe not a big thing but a thing never the less. What I'd really like is an exciting brand of footy. No [censored] they bore me to tears mostly with the odd flash of entertainment.

Who's Ricky?

Langfords gonna be a forkin' Thoopa Star. There .... I said it.

Finding any?

Fair call. All those big money guns we got salary capped for hardly got on the ground.

I always felt Troy Broadbridge was the missing piece in Danihers premiership puzzle. Spent years looking for a good CHB and when he found him we lost him.

Sadly no. I had an evil step mother who seemed to take joy in throwing my stuff out without telling me. Also lost 3 full sets of Stanlans footy cards from the late 70's early 80's. A scrap book and autograph book from the same era. Full sets of both Star Wars and KISS cards too. Highly annoying woman to this very day.

Let's face it. Club media during this time time of year is all kum ba yah propaganda regardless of what's going on inside the club.

When my son was a young fella Tom Scully was his favourite player cause they shared the same 1st name. Scully left so he took a shine to Jessie Hogan. Hogan left the Demons and my young fella was lost to footy. When I was young I was horrified when Steven Smith changed his number from 35 to 1. Made my duffel coat that I'd just forked out my hard earned pocket money numbering up during the off season outdated.

Make Melbourne Great Again.

Which would be Chris Judds grandmother.

I stand with Robbo.
