Anyone see Eddie refer to Richmond's Rioli as a "black boy" on the Thursday Fox footy coverage? Hmmmm.......

@daisycutter I tried to pm you to offer assistance but i think your pm box is full.

Suggest you go to a Ticketek outlet and do it over the counter Daisy. Their website is designed to deliver heart failure. Might be able to squeeze you in between BBO and I if you can jump the gate... I ended up getting 7 tickets in lots of 2, 2 and 3 in the same area but not together. Wouldn't let me get any more than 3 at a time even if I punched in all membership numbers. These bozos who run Ticketek need a Toby Green kick in the rrrse.

"ANOMALITY DETECTED" WTF!!

Not enough tickets to get even two together. WTF!!!

Ah yes, but as a MFC member his spiritual home is the MCG

I sat next to him on Fri night, Toady. If he was wearing yoga pants, they were under the taffeta frock he had on.

We'd ask for 5 plus Andrew Brayshaw, and probably settle for 5 plus Langdon or 5 plus Freo 2019 first rounder In that case I'd use 5 to tempt a star like Whitfield or Shiel, though talk is hot on Shiel to Bombers.

That's just ridiculous. He's needed, will stay, unless he has second thoughts. But I'm not as against a trade as others on here, were it to arise. Howerver, your trade scenario is irrational. No way Freo would give up that.

Mr Leg, where did I say this? I think it would be a great statement for Jesse to re-sign before the October trade period. After all, he loves the club, he loves living in Melbourne and we are on the rise. Gives him certainty during recovery from foot injury and the club would have clarity. I want him to stay, I've posted that repeatedly, but a strong club is more than any one player. No sane person wants to push Jesse out. With his contract coming up in 13 months, wouldn't it be fantastic for him to recommit soon rather than watch it drag on?

Yes, we will get enquiries. No harm looking at what's available and talking to Jesse about his next contract. His current one expires in 13 months. It's a fair conversation to have, especially with the development of Weid. Those saying Hogan should play as a tall mid are completely missing his main strength: a big bodied, contested marking beast. Any other team would stick him at CHF or FF and say "clunk a stack and kick a handful". We have such tall riches that we're actually talking about making him into a running mid??? Madness!

Che??? Can't see why you went back so far to quote me. At the time Weid could well have been considered whipping boy. Nothing to see here

TIME TO CLOSE THE THREAD!!! WHY? BECAUSE I'M SCARED OF SOME THINGS I THINK ARE STUPID, THAT'S THE REASON!! I LOVE HYPERBOLE AND I THINK CAPITALS MAKE MY VIEWS BETTER!!!!!! Sorry to shout....

Nooooooo!!!!! ?

Hyperbole ^

Do you think tackling pressure can be taught to a young player? Do you think our FD would be good at doing this? If the answer is yes, then those numbers could be seen as a baseline for improvement rather than the standard to expect.

Watching The Kid waxing lyrical endlessly on The Front Bar. Is there a person alive more self absorbed than Dermot Brereton? Sheesh!

Clearly we disagree. 2 games ago we were looking at missing out on finals. Needed to beat top 8 team/s where we hadn't in the previous 21 weeks. After 12 years, that's called falling in.

Really? Really..... Cause we have landed so many big free agents over the journey so far? Nothing like getting a big head based upon falling into the finals for the first time in 12 years. Let's achieve something before we assume to being remotely close to a destination club. The problem with free agency is the receiver pays nothing and the compo isn't close to what the losing club should get. Even if GCS get pick 3, that's not better than what Lynch offers. That needs to change.

Not sure where to put this, but ex-Victorian Cerra has signed an extension of 2 years at the Dockers. He's there til 2021. Will be a ripping player by then.

Big Max has played a lot of footy this season. Its worth remembering that he's had a number of knee recos and other significant leg injuries. King appears a bust, possibly Flipper too. Will Pedo be on our list next year? We are one knee tweak away from being caught with our rucking pants down. I like the idea of Preuss playing some kpf and some ruck. But as others have said, we will be too tall with 4 big men in the seniors forward line. So does Preuss play at Casey in 2019, or does Weid play there, or are there other factors at play..... ?

Agree. Perhaps Mayes really needs exposure to culture, leadership and standards that he's lacked at Brisbane. After watching Zorko's childish carry on against the Suns and seeing good players leave over the last 5 years, it's no wonder they pulled a geriatric ex-Hawk captain out of retirement

He should go to Richmond where Phil can "eat 'em alive!"

Sounds like Mayes' problems might be more in the mind than with ability, regardless of best 22 or 30 at Brisbane. If Goodwin and the FD think that he's worth it, I'd back them to turn him around. We have an infectious culture growing at the club (not talking about the changroom showers) and blokes like Macca who can change a player's habits and mindset pretty quickly.
