Fork 'em

Don't be surprised if its us. Goody and Hird both like a suntan.

Schwabs shield was a mess. The writing of rules in the background was rubbish. No good having it there if ya can't read it. Surely he didn't actually design it himself.

Chinese Olympic team. Bulgarian weightlifters. Tour de France bike riders The list goes on ........

And Petracca looks as happy a player at his club as I've ever seen. And I couldn't be happier.

Cannot "Like this" enough. While they were being supposedly punished they we're also permitted to collect top end draft pics. A pox on them all.

Yep, he'd cut loose and just light us up. Here's a great interview from Dee TV with Robbo. http://www.melbournefc.com.au/news/2014-07-24/leaving-dees-toughest-decision-farmer

We could use the Wiz right now.

Well ..... It would serve us right. We should've stayed a million miles away but no. We traded in their drug taking players and made one of their dodgy assistant coaches our senior coach.

I've often seen Carro describe her opinion as "Fairfax media believes ......" Always just thought it saved her from getting personally sued.

If the rumours are true it seems being married to the AFL golden boy was preferable to being married to a drug cheat.

Tania just preferred to bask in the reflected glory of being married to an AFL golden boy than a drug cheat. Tried to do whatever it took to maintain the former.

And no way should they have been rewarded with Pick# 5&6 last year or Pick#1 this year.

Hird spent a good deal of time white-anting Matthew Knights during the previous season through the media leading to Knights sacking and Hirds appointment as coach. Found this clip of Hirdy addressing the essendon faithful.

I suspect Hirds drug cheating went further back than when he was coaching.

I don't. I want them reminded of their drug cheating whenever they walk into a football stadium till the end of time. Hate the arrogant flogs with every fibre of my being.

And so does Tom McDonald. http://www.news.com.au/sport/afl/melbourne-demons/nathan-jones-sees-tom-mcdonald-jack-viney-melbourne-training-scuffle-as-positive-sign-ahead-of-2016-afl-season/news-story/54b135dcca8c63444c293f3992388f66

Yeah .... I do. Love to see him get Dustin Martin the same way.

No duty of care.

Nothing in it ... Play on.

Needs some blood.

Don't care about Jesse. Ella's the one we want. The one I want anyhoo

The battle is in the school ground. Kids don't like copping crap cause their team is getting flogged week in week out. They wanna be walking tall hanging the crap from where its safe ,in numbers from the top of the ladder. I've got 2 brainwashed kids at a small country school of about 60-70 kids. The only 2 that wear red and blue they are . My oldest girl seems to accept her lot but the young fella would swap to Collingwood or Essendon this afternoon if I gave him the go ahead. This of course just will not do.

IMO Gutnick bought himself the most publicity the promise of 300 grand could buy. No-one new who the hell he was till he showed up waving $$ on our doorstep , then he was all over the media. Can't remember much positive he did for the club but do remember him being outspoken and having the balls to stick it to the AFL if he thought we were getting a rough deal. Also remember he dobbed us in for the salary cap breaches.

You wouldn't have had to. As Don Scott famously showed . It was a Melbourne jumper with a yellow hawk on the front. Make no mistake , we weren't merging. We were taking over.

Not only do we need wins , we need flags and a few of them. The only way to win over the kids "supporters for the future" is to have sustained success for the better part of a decade. Then you have to wait another 10-15 years till these kids can earn an income and become members themselves.
