At Least I Saw a Flag

How many Pedersens does MFC have?

He's a ripper. Reminds me of Gunston ... Jack, not Norman. (Yeah, yeah, I've posted this before.)

It is 100% correct. I used to go to the footy (Melbourne matches) with Andrew, his mother and younger brother. All Demons! Father was (and is still presumably) a Tigers supporter. His younger brother used to be a Tigers supporter too, but changed to Demons. I bet he regrets that !!!!

and the Constitution ...

I've always been envious of other sides who bring in new players who seem to slot in straight away. I can't remember offhand a Melbourne player like that ... until now. He looks like he belongs !!! I realise that young players often lack consistency, and CS will no doubt have his good and bad games. But he looks a ripper !!!

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?

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

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

Chronic underachiever ....

Bit of name dropping in this thread!! Healing Force released that absolute classic "Golden Miles". Mal Logan (keyboards) is a good mate of mine. (Also a long time Tigers' supporter: he's still in seventh heaven!!)

yes

In October 1994, Beitzel was sentenced to 18 months jail, with a minimum of eight months to be served, after pleading guilty to obtaining financial advantage by deception over matters related to his work for a lottery organisation.[2] He served his sentence initially at Pentridge Prison and then at the open, minimum-security Morwell River Prison Farm. Beitzel strenuously denied that he had ever intentionally committed a crime.

Last night's match was easily his best match for MFC.

Agree with most posters. He has really underperformed. Hopefully he puts in a good one today.

1976 for me.

They do things differently there.... Also Alan Bates

"The past is a foreign country". L.P. Hartley, The Go Between.

Probably worth retaining on the rookie list once his contract has ended ....

I just put $10 on Clayton for the Brownlow @ $67

Don't you mean lucked IN?

For the purposes of certainty (putting on my lawyer hat), Oliver (the player) reminds me of Voss (the player).

He reminds me of Michael Voss

As much as I hold Hird in low regard, I wish him all the best for a full recovery.
