Fork 'em

C'mon Freo 😅. Jackson 126 SC pts at half time. He's on a blinder.

We'll take the 4pts and move on.

Of course they do. How do ya think they got Franklin, Roughead and Lewis in the 2004 draft. Picks 2, 5 and 7. Mitchell has followed Clarkesons template.

Carlton and Dawks with their tails up and then Swans. The run in doesn't look so cruisy now. We'll be battle hardened.

Funnily enough I recently found myself talking to the HR dept cause I asked that exact question of a sensitive fellow worker. They called it abuse whereas I disagreed.

Told a Collingwood mad workmate a couple weeks ago the Demons are eyeing off 2nd spot. He poo poo'ed me. I told him this week it'll be a Melbourne/Carlton GF. Looking forward to talking some footy with him Monday 😂

Strange days indeed.

C'mon Geelong. That's right. I said "C'mon Geelong."

I saw a theory awhile ago that made sense to me about how and why the big clubs got big and it was due to the emerging TV coverage of the late 60s and 70's. It was this time when Carlton, Collingwood and Richmond were all top sides and so dominating the footy show replays. Teams on the bottom of the ladder during this time barely got a look in. Every year for eg I'd watch the Grand Final eve replays and we were never in them. Same with saturday nights when they'd review the days games and then show the last qtr or so of the game of the round. We very rarely got a look in there either. Essendon and Hawthorns era of dominance during the 80's helped their cause. Meanwhile we for the most part were stinking up the bottom of the ladder for multiple decades. Can't explain Norf but I do feel for them pioneering Friday night footy only then for the other clubs to muscle in on their lucrative action.

Watching the replay I reckon VR has abit of a Heath Ledger thing going on.

I'll always remember watching that draft with Martin sittin' there front row with his scowling bikie old man. There was no way he was coming to Melbourne. Not our style at all. And I'm not sure we could've handled him if he did. Reckon he woulda left.

I agree. And another thing I've noticed is he'll regularly pass to a 1st game player. Multiple times I've seen him set up young blokes with lace out passes to give them their 1st shot at goal. Stories they can tell their mates forever no matter how their careers turn out. "Got my 1st kick/goal from Dusty Martin".

I was a Headbanger man.

It is part of their job. Allir Allir assessment should have been open and shut. Same the bloke with "the migraine." 😒

As they say in the classics. "That's what good sides do." The boys are startin' to sharpen up nicely.

Yeah, I though all our HTB frees were hilarious. Icing on the cake in the goal square 😂

Max Gawn in the mood has to be the most dominant player in the game. Best ruckman I've seen.

Torquay apparently.

That song with the families was fantastic.
