Winners at last

Dream on.

Perhaps one could also ask When is a man not a man? When he's a freak in a sideshow ... @"The Freak" by The Zoot

Dream on.

I was always one of the last picked. Thanks for reminding me.

How could Cale Morton fall into the "Below Average" category when there is a "Poor" category?

Cheers bro.

Excuse my ignorance but what does OP stand for?

Clearly a ripping bloke. But repeated turnovers are soul destroying for a side. Hopefully he can improve that part of his game. Otherwise I agree with the majority that a tagger with poor skills is a relic of a bygone era. On that same topic, my favourite coach was Swooper Northey. He got the most out of the playing group. But football's way more sophisticated these days. The days of ranting and raving are pretty much over. (Alan Killigrew RIP). It's about developing plans and systems. Not so many one on ones these days. It's more about excellent skills and keeping possession which is why turnovers are murder.

As if. He's a top bloke though.

Chook, with the utmost respect, I don't think that's a great analogy. I think it is a slightly bigger ask for a medical student (let alone a team of highly professional and experienced medical researchers with massive financial backing) to develop a cure for cancer than for Brian Royal to improve the MFC midfield. if a med student could improve the standard of the MFC, then perhaps that option could be investigated? And Mr Royal could work on the cancer cure.

As for Australian films, I agree that Wake in Fright was a ripper. Lantana was great, and I didnt mind some of those quirky films in the early 80s like The Big Steal and Death in Brunswick.

I am ridiculously fussy when it comes to films. One of the worst films I have ever seen is Red Dog. Corny, dreadfully overacted. If I hadnt taken my daughter to that film, I would have walked out half way. I re-watched The Elephant Man the other day. Now there's a film! John Hurt's performance was brilliant. He was beaten to the Best Actor Oscar by De Niro in Raging Bull. The film was beautifully made and acted. Another one i really liked was American Beauty. As for comedies, my favourites are Napoleon Dynamite and Groundhog Day.

In the words of Frank Woodley "I wish that hadn't happened" (contemplating his unfortunate experience).

I think that wearing gloves is clear evidence of tanking.

Not the end of the world? You can't be serious!!

Not an actual quote? Really? I could imagine Mitch using the word "smite".

I've been watching Real Humans on SBS, Saturday nights. Really good.

The Club's record over the past 5 years speaks for itself. There is only one way to change perceptions, and that is (sustained) success.

For some reason, Gilies reminds me of Clint Bizzell. Hopefully he performs as well. It could be hard to break into the backline, but if so Garland looks to be the player under the most threat.

Jordie McKenzie = great trier and probably a great bloke. But I'm not convinced he'll be in the 22 every week.

I was at that match. Yes, he got a lot of touches, but Saints didn't bother manning up on him at all. Presumably because he did no damage when he got the ball. I certainly hope he succeeds, but I don't think you could read much into his performance that day.

Perhaps even drivel?

I am a grammar Nazi. "Its" as you have used it is a pronoun. Pronouns do not have apostrophes. Or to put it another way pron'oun's do no't have apo'strophe's.

Does anyone else think that Grimes could be our version of Luke Hodge?

i agree with the assessment of good ordinary player.
