Good Times Grimes

Has anyone seen/heard a figure as to what the attendance is?

Sounds like a thriller!

I just watched a bunch of related videos from that one. There were at least 5 dog acts, and I'm sure that's not all of them! He should get weeks for his actions last night.

As would Brad Green...

An article on the MFC site confirms it. http://www.melbournefc.com.au/news/newsarticle/tabid/7415/newsid/141248/default.aspx Can we not get fined for this? I thought we weren't allowed to announce inclusions/exclusions prior to 6:25pm.

Finally! Well deserved... great to see a young player's perseverance pay off.

According to the HS, a new deal for Cloke at Collingwood is imminent. http://www.heraldsun.com.au/afl/more-news/travis-cloke-ready-to-deal-with-collingwood/story-e6frf9jf-1226422913637

This is going to turn into yet another drafting vs. development thread. Wait for it.... 3, 2, 1... GO!

The Dees are offering $5m over 5+ years according to this morning's Age. http://www.theage.com.au/afl/afl-news/demons-weigh-in-with-5m-cloke-bid-20120709-21s1g.html

He'll probably be 1-2 weeks for the next month.

It'll be below 15k.

Saturday's game.

Subbed out after having less than 5 disposals in 2 and a half quarters and absolutely shanking a set shot for goal. 6- Jones: Not as good as he usually is, but far and away better than anybody else on the team. 5- (Now I'm struggling) Sylvia: Seems to be working harder than he did in the first half of the season. 4- Watts: I'm a huge Watts fan, but his disposal did let him down at times. That being said, he is the person who's hands you want it in when the ball is in our back half. I also loved seeing him go in really hard and thought he was harshly pinged for holding the ball. 3- Spencer: Much better than Martin was in the ruck. A promising performance against a likely AA Ruckman. 2- Howe: Can someone please teach him how to kick? 1- Nicholson: (See Howe)

Finally, somebody diagnosed the problem!

I was thinking the same thing. Riewoldt has only kicked 1, which would usually indicate Frawley had been great, but he's sprayed about 5 other shots. Jones is always good value. Watts has been decent, but his disposal has not been as efficient today as it has been this season. Many players have put in shockers. I haven't seen Blease for a while...

Hopefully Tappy is okay...

Moloney in, Magner out.

That's a horrible call. Watts went in hard, got the ball, and was pinged when he had no opportunity to get rid of it.

Has Trengove had a touch?

He looks like he's in Auskick when he's about to kick the ball. Takes the time to ensure his form is right, but doesn't seem to realize that he is under pressure, and by the time he actually kicks it there's no chance it will ever hit a target

How many of Martin's kicks have been smothered???

This umpiring in B.S.

The two big UFAs (Parise and Suter) both signed identical 13 year/ $98m contracts with the Minnesota Wild. A funny fact: Both Parise and Suter are 27 years old. The combined goal total from the past season of all the NHLers who were 27 13 years ago is ZERO.

If we had big Mitch playing today we'd be winning.
