Fork 'em

Was listening to the radio commentary of the Bulldogs game today. When the Blues kicked out to a handy lead the commentators declared that this will be a good test for the Dogs to see if they can come back. "The good sides .... Like Melbourne just seem to have another gear when they need it.", was the statement from Ross Lyon. Hearing things like that I feel like I'm living an alternate reality at the moment. And I was spewing when the dogs did come back. I was licking my lips for 2 games clear for abit there.

Yes you are. For the most part the umpires are just happy the ball's still moving. The AFL wants fast flowing football and if they let a few throws go to allow that ... So be it or so it seems. And he handballed with as you said a closed fist so .... Play on.

You might not win flags in May but you can put yourself in pole position to win them in September.

Watch the replay. It was a handball. Oliver special.

Reckon the umpiring is garbage as a rule these days. Very rarely do I think a game was umpired well.

What about Franklin trying to bury I think ... Fritta. Thought we'd have to dig him out've ground but of course ... Buddy so no free. Or Olivers handball deemed a throw.

The only time I watch the swans is when they play us so .... Never taken any notice of those blokes. But yeah, with a couple of those goals you'd think they'd hit the front and were kicking clear screaming and thumping their chests.

Looking forward to a few games with decent conditions and good delivery to Brown. Tmac's firing and if Brown starts clunking them look out. Loved that mark at the top of the square he took last night. Big man who takes the ball at full stretch.

It begins .... Bandwagoners. Hope there's many more to come over the next decade.

I'll tell ya what. Papley is right up there on the 'Punchable Head List.'

And then rag dolls you .... Lol.

Not yet but he will be. Confidence growing in front of the goals every game.

You think this is stressful. Just wait till finals.

Gonna be a big game folks. Another test.

I didn't mind Range Rover at 'Ology. He often kept threads rolling which was often needed at times of quiet. Couldn't handle TGR. Was sure he typed with one hand while pleasuring himself with the other.

Nah, Bluey was a Legend. He'd chime in with some biting wit about the club that was usually on the money that the snowflakes would lose their minds over. Never bothered arguing over any of his posts. He'd lob a grenade and watch the carnage. Always amused me.

I'm pretty excited. Not thinking premierships but definitely thinking deep into finals. Boys are playing for each other and enjoying their footy. Young guns Jackson and Picket coming along in leaps and bounds and looking to be genuine thoopastars of the future. Key signings without all the usual BS. Mounting injury list my only fear. Long term knee for Tomlinson a huge downer.

100% Could end up bargain basement for a top of the line footballer with his best years still infront of him. And hate to say it but Max Gawn is closer to the end than the start. He'd chew up abit I'd guess.

Thanks Tracc. And thanks MFC. Getting some great signatures of late without all the will he/won't he BS. So happy right now.

Love the fact it looks like butter wouldn't melt in Frittas mouth but he has the mean streak to dish out an elbow fend Dippa would have been proud of.

Robbo and his teammates needed to address this back in '05. Lost to bottom side Carlton twice that year. Forkin' hopeless.

Yeah, I want the scalps of the Dogs, Port, West Coast, Collingwood and Essendon.

When the Fox hears the Rabbit scream he comes a-runnin'. But not to help.
