NON MFC: Rd 13 2021
Lets face it. Both these side have proved themselves recently. We are yet to do so.

NON MFC: Rd 13 2021
Sure helps for my reasons above. Also helps when the rest of the competition is hobbled in the draft and you're cherry picking players chasing success from opposition clubs. Same goes for Geelong through the same time period.

NON MFC: Rd 13 2021
Easier to be a genius when you pick up players like Franklin, Hodge, Roughead, Rioli, Lewis and Mitchell in successive drafts then have the rest of the competition hobbled by the expansion teams of GC and GWS while you're on top. I won't be convinced of his genius till he does it again. Either with Hawthorn or some other club.

The captain and the umpires
If the captain wasn't letting the umps know I'd be disappointed.

Demons & Blues Worlds Apart
I've got a Carlton supporting mate and often see his and other supporter posts on Carlton FB forums. Reminds me of ours here and on FB even as recently as last year. Hell, just gotta read the match day threads here now and people revert back quickly during games if things aren't going our way. Anyway, told him pretty much exactly what you stated when he wanted to get rid of the coach a month or so ago. Having said that. Long may they wallow down the bottom.

They're still coming.

Nathan Buckley Steps Down as Collingwood Coach
I don't mind listening to Buckley speak and have felt he'd be great in the media for years. The points you've made are quite valid regarding covid and the uncertainty of scheduling. Why would you wanna go through all that BS, work 11 and half months of the year and get grilled by the media parasites twice a week when you can kick back for 6mths of the year and do special comments for 2hrs twice a week for the other 6mths.

What they're saying down at Lulie Street
Reckon it would have been QB 2018 that De Goey tore us apart from the middle. Getting the ball and bursting clear with power. Remember thinking at the time that was exactly what we needed from Petracca.

University research on fans' views of racism in the AFL
My point is that no-one said anything about any of that sheet but you.

So who's rattling on about snowflakes etc??? Being thin skinned etc. I'll give you a hint ..... It's you.

University research on fans' views of racism in the AFL
Can't say I've heard any racism at the footy since Glen James was umpiring. Yes I've seen the Ph#. No, I've had no reason to use it.

Danger period lies ahead ...
No doubt we'll win some and we'll lose some over the rest of the season. But we just gotta make sure we beat forken Essendon. Hate them plicks with a passion.

Farewell Sam Weideman
Half the time Bradshaw was injured anyway.

Farewell Sam Weideman
The Weids been with the club 6 more years than Brown. Grown up playing with half the players in the side and have some good mates among them. I'm happy he's been given every chance to solidify his spot over the new grub. Be better for team dynamics if Weid holds his spot IMO.

Farewell Sam Weideman
Totally agree.

The MCG of the Desert
Saw it on the news tonight. Even choked up when I saw the melbourne jumpers. Great stuff.
-
Farewell Sam Weideman
Since he missed a set shot to win a game a couple years ago. Has had the jitters since IMO.

It’s time to say it…
Mate ... Last Monday I strutted through the work canteen, beanie on with the finger in the air ?

We'll choke them fools to death like the rest.

It’s time to say it…
I'll throw in poor kicking. I get edgy when we're missing set shots. If we had've kicked straight last night it would have been over much earlier.

Walking into work Monday morning these days be like .....

POSTGAME: Rd 12 vs Brisbane
Same when they surge forward. Irrepressible. Were even doing those brilliant little tap ons. A sign of growing confidence.

Despite what the haters around here think he must be doing exactly what Goodwin wants him to.
