Winners at last

I hate Campbell Brown. How a thug like him gets a media gig is beyond me.

Jetta stiff not to win. Bartel's high profile is why he got the award. 

Any of the 4 nominees would have been a worthy winner

He was "amazing". But not in a good way.

Because we played even more ordinary, and at their place. 

Cheers BB.

Mauriesy, with all due respect, pointing to one match/result in isolation is hardly statistically significant. Applying the same logic, MFC is a top 4 side on the evidence of beating GWS!! 

The effort against Geelong was deplorable. The Melbourne side was totally cooked by the last round. And played accordingly. 

Geelong finished 10th last year. Dangerfield dragged them to the top 4. God help them if he gets injured. A very ordinary side, topped up by a gun player.

I went to a ladyboy show in Thailand a couple of years ago. (With my then girlfriend.)

It wasn't at all like a strip show. Pretty much just miming and dancing. I'd imagine the Melbourne show would be fairly similar. I can't imagine it attracting much of an audience here. It's pretty much just a tourist thing to do while overseas. 

I have followed the Demons since 1968. 48 years. No premierships. And TBH, none likely in the next few years.

MFC member for years.

AFL set up a brand new club. Concessions + concessions. GWS may well win the flag this year. In their fifth freakin year!! Or if not this year, within the next 2. 

Long suffering and loyal supporters of Melbourne, Footscray + St Kilda haven't seen a flag for 60 years +. (Or, depending on age, not at all.)

A manufactured team is likely to win one within 5 - 7 years of its inception/creation. Something about all this doesn't seem quite right.

Best Young Player - Jayden Hunt.

Somewhat ironic that 4 players were nominated for Rising star, and he wasn't one of them!!

MCC. Those put down at birth get in as junior members at age 17, restricted members at age 18 and full members at age 30. This has been the same for many years. Cricket is fairly irrelevant as there aren't many matches at MCG these days that anyone is interested in except Boxing Day Test. Junior and Restricted get in to all AFL games except Grand Final for no extra cost over their yearly subscription.

It's got worse than that. My son (born 1993) was offered restricted membership at age 15 or 16.

My thirdborn (born 1998) was just offered that wanky Provisional Membership recently, at age 18. She won't be offered restricted membership until she's 20, or more likely 21. The wait for full membership after restricted membership will be (another) 20 years.

Back in the day, I was on waiting list for about 9 years before becoming a restricted member, and about another 10 or so years for full membership.

It's an awful admission, but I was actually barracking for the filth today. I would have loved to see the poos/wees drop out of the top 4.

The most horrifying thing about yesterday was it was pretty much our best 22.

i could sort of accept yesterday if we had 8-10 of our best 22 out, but we had our likely 2017 Rd 1 side ( minus M Jones and possibly Bugg and Harmes).

Next year it's unlikely we won't have the dream injury run that we did this year.

I thought the same thing. Had a lucky year with injuries. Certainly can't expect that every year.

Geelong must be regretting letting S. Johnston go. He's the icing on the cake for GWS.

Patton could be the dominant forward in the finals. 

It will be carnage.

I agree with the comparison you make in the way Oscar and the Weed have been handled Bingers.

Little Mac was bagged to the max initially and same same for Weeds at present.

Give him game time this week which is effectively a dead rubber for us.

 

EXCUSE ME!!! There is only one Bingers .... and that's me!!!

Like most others I don't like Harvey. Nor Firito. Fairly indifferent towards Petrie. Del Santo seems like an OK bloke. I hate Norf. I presume they will lose during the first week of the finals. Terrible way to deal with these players though; looks like "taking out the trash"!!

Spot on! Yep the coaching told players to miss targets, miss goals, be second to the ball! 

The team certainly carried out those instructions well!!!

Like everyone else, I love Jacky. But he won't be captain. I doubt that he'd even want the job.

From chocolates to boiled lollies

One thing that has scarcely be mentioned on this forum is the relatively low number of injuries this year. Perhaps I shouldn't?

He's cooked.

OK, thread can be moved/closed/deleted...

It has served it's purpose.... Thanks to all who have contributed....

The $300 that my wife found just after picking the young Demon up from school will be taken to the local cop shop tomorrow.... 

The kids will be present during this exchange to encourage them to always "Do the right thing"

Clearly I would've just gone the pub and loaded up the Sportsbet account but alas.... Times have changed 

 

 

I fine you $300 for apostophe abuse. (Pronouns do have apostrophes.) Send me a PM; I will respond with bank account details for payment of the fine. 

Has anyone been able to find that lid?
