At Least I Saw a Flag

Relief ruckman will be Weiderman

Lewis straight back in? Why?

Brings back memories. I copped an infection after a shoulder operation. Couldn't get rid of it after a lengthy course of strong antibiotics. Ended up back in hospital on a drip for 5 days. Then had to carry around a portable drip (which I was attached to) for 2 weeks. As for Trac, 4 - 6 weeks ... obviously.

I'd love to go to a match like this one (which I am) and leave delighted !!

I was there !!!

A pleasant/stress free weekend. Pleasant = poos/wees losing. Stress free = not watching Demons lose

Hey is that Frawley playing on Brown? If so, perhaps a brief respite from Watts talk?? hahaha

Norf v poos/wees. That first goal coughed by Norf in Q2 was so Melbourne !!

Stop posting about Jack Watts? NEVER !!! This could be a season where there is no standout team, and someone could effectively "pinch" a flag. Adelaide did that in the 90s. Dees could have pinched the big one. Beat the Crows by about 45 points in the finals that year ... (Can't remember the year.) If only !! The only Melbourne GFs I can remember (and went to) are 1988 and 2000. No hope in either. Poos/wees and Drug cheats were virtually unbeatable in those years.

They won a flag 18 months ago. You get a few credits for that!!

This is the first time I've watched Jack Watts play for Port. He's been awful.

I hate Selwood, but have to admit he's playing a blinder ...

I didn't expect a break out year. I have supported MFC since 1968. I expect very little. e.g. I expected MFC to lose to the filth last year (Round 23) and even for Max to miss that shot v Geelong in Round 1. So when something unexpected happens (e.g. beating Adelaide last year) I am pleasantly/genuinely surprised. Unfortunately these happenings are all too rare.

The references to Sydney, Geelong, Richmond are ridiculous. They at least had credibility before the quoted losses. Sydney had played finals for years and years. Geelong too. Richmond played finals in 2013/2014/2015. When did MFC last play finals?

Ill spew if Goodwin goes on about 'our brand' ...

I doubt it. Hasn't happened to date ...

I'm glad there's a hyphen in the thread heading !!!

Actually it was closer to 20 seconds ...

Agreed. Other than - Point of order LH. The goal v Essendon wasn't after the siren. After he kicked the goal, there was a centre bounce and about another 60 seconds of the match. I was there. Couldn't actually watch him taking the kick, but have watched the replay dozens of times !!!!

All Australian?

E-I-E-I-O ...

Former callsigns 3XY (1935–1991) Former frequencies 693 kHz AM (1992–2006) 1420 kHz AM (1935–1978) 1422 kHz AM (1978–1991)

Finey lost the plot somewhere along the way IMHO. I used to quite like him, but stopped listening to him a couple of years ago. He became way too belligerent, opiniated and aggressive/disrespectful to callers who dared to disagree with him. Have a bex and a lie down Finey, and enjoy spending more time with you family.

Bomber Thompson ... James Hird ... no wonder everyone loves Essendon !!! hahahahahaha

Yes, he'll make us pay ... part of his salary
