At Least I Saw a Flag

Is he playing?

Long assaulted a player (Darcy) bending down to collect the ball. An example of the apple not falling far from the tree? (Michael Long/Troy Simmonds - 2000 GF)

Perhaps consult Baldrick?

Normally I'm pessimistic ... and place a bet on the opponent. Sadly my pessimism has, for the most part, not been misplaced and has regularly boosted my Sportsbet account balance. FWIW, Sportsbet have the Dees at $1.60, GC at $2.35. Contrary to my normal practice, I'm not placing a bet on GC. My position may well have been different if Rowell was playing. While I'm not going so far as to place at bet on the Dees, we could and should win. . Go Dees.

Filth v poos & wees Kennett v Triplechins Eeeekk!!!

Penultimate means second last, not second best.

Marty Hore is injured ... 4 - 6 I believe.

The Club would be attracting very few new supporters. Why would any person choose to support MFC other than for family type reasons? And even then, some kids may refuse to support MFC because of the team's longstanding lack of success. The Club is a laughing stock. How many supporters, let alone members, will the Club have in 10-20 years time? I suspect that a high proportion of supporters/members are oldies like me. We may have dropped off the perch by then. Or be in nursing homes. I started following the Dees in 1968. Zero success until the John Northey years. And that success was limited. There were a few years where the Club could have pinched a flag, but sadly it didn't happen. I am a cheerful soul. I'm not angry, just slightly wistful. I am so jealous of Bulldogs' fans who saw their time just pinch a flag along the way. Something I'll never see. Excuse these ramblings...

Stopped watching. Will collect on bet on Richmond (Sportsbet) ... more than 6 points up at half time.

Turnover ... goal ... rinse ...repeat.

A great play in the final 20 seconds of the quarter leading to a goal after the siren. So un-Melbourne like...

BT (Big Turd) is such a moron. He's commented on Oliver being a good handballer (or words to that effect) several times. Oliver's handballing has been nightmarish.

Preuss is a powerful unit. Unfortunately he isn't much of a footballer.

It's like choosing between typhoid and cholera.

It would help if he actually directed his taps to teammates.

I'm not sure that this is totally on topic. However ... Andy Maher has the swagger of a daggy girl who has been unexpectedly invited into the popular girls' group in Year 11.

I hate the filth ... and I hate Triplechins.... Not sure which/whom I hate more. They are interchangeable I guess.

Shame we couldn't get one of those King boys. Ready made big guys. Such a rarity.

I've had enough. I think I'll do some vacuuming ... and clean the bathroom.

should have been ... front on

Harmes tries to break tackles too often.

Hilarious ... Geelong player punched when he had an easy mark. So Melbourne like.

What a rabble ... Looks like my $100 bet on Jee-long is pretty safe.

Fritsch ... then Pickett ... cue Benny Hill music.

I met him while he was playing with MFC. Such a nice guy. Sorry to hear that Pia dumped him.
