  1. Article largely promoting stroke awareness. He got early treatment. Was due to undiagnosed heart defect.
  2. Great get Andy. Can you ask him what he thinks about not being the best 'Jetta'? IIRC when his mum was contacted to interview him at draft time, she asked them if they had got Nev mixed up with his cousin Lewis, who was supposedly the better footballer. Something like that, anyway...
  3. Yeah, and probably thinks GCS will win the flag....
  4. And to think that (according to Roosy) we could've had Greene for a packet of crisps before his break out year. Btw, nice avatar
  5. Interesting to read about Bradley Wiggins up in arms about what he believes is a witch hunt against him and Team Sky. "I'd have more rights if I murdered someone!" Bwahahahaha!!!
  6. I don't suppose by any chance that he finished 11th because he had told them beforehand he was leaving the club? (And anyone claiming club b&f's are democratic, transparent or a valid basis to judge a player's worth need book a room with the tooth fairy) Also, is Lever being paid "much more than anyone else" on our list? You know this as a fact?
  7. One size big fish does not fit all examples. Sure, some have flopped (pardon the pun), but many others have been pivotal in their teams GF success. Lynch at Brisvegas quickly comes to mind, and now Boyd's super granny performance two years ago. As Stretch mentions above, a big fish is wasted in a crappy team. Amongst quality depth and where needed, a big fish can make a huge difference. Jake Lever at 21 years of age, surrounded by the likes of Hibberd, Jetta, Lewis and Hunt is imo the perfect asset to compliment the development of Oscar and Frost.
  8. Oh you are a wild one Ethan! I would've gone a rare beef phò from the local, or perhaps a little hipster veg curry, extra pappadams BBO might have ordered wild game caught withing the expansive grounds of the manor Biffen would invade the local KFC going from table to table looking for fly blown leftovers The Earl would Uber fish and chips from Donovans in Sydney, even though he's in Upper Fitzroy W Jack and Red would pick up take away from Wongs, because this new fangled thing called Uber eats is beyond them Daisy would eat leftover pureed meat and 3 veg from the Borewood nursing home
  9. West Coast and WB a bit low for my liking. Essendon's prediction is laughable. It's clear many reporters let their own support and emotions get in the way of objective reporting, which is what 'reporters' are supposed to do
  10. My kind of festival. Reckon there'd be a few on here that could challenge the judges Mulletfest 2018
  11. I have us down for the next 3 flags. Relax, we've got this
  12. I hope the MCG stocks up on Geelong Bitter and winny blues. They'll make a killing
  13. Sometimes fatherhood also settles a player, accelerating responsibility and maturity. Goodwin made mention of him becoming a parent in the after game presser. I always thought Milkshake was a bit lost and lacking focus, even when at Essendrug. Simplistic to say, but perhaps he is now happy with where his life is at. Was certainly a talented junior.
  14. Except those you mention are essentially forwards, and Gus is a midfielder who can play back, as he did yesterday when Lewis went down. It's not a pecking order, as such, more who can play their assigned role for the given conditions and match ups. But I respect your view and won't be offhand or dismissive of it despite not being in agreement
  15. An old country preacher has a teenage son, and as it is gittin’ time for him to choose a profession, the old man decides to try an experiment. While he’s at school, he goes into his room and places on the bed, a bible, a $20 note, a bottle of whiskey, a copy of Penthouse. “I'll just hide behind the door and see which object he picks up. If it's the Bible, he's going to be a preacher like me. If he picks up the dollar, he's going to be a businessman. But if he picks up the bottle, he's going to be a no-good drunken bum! And worst of all, if he picks up the magazine, he'll be a womaniser all his life!". The old man waits anxiously, and soon hears his son's footsteps as he enters the house and heads for his room. The boy throws his bag by the door, and as he turns to leave the room spots the objects on the be bed. First, he picks up the Bible and without reading a word places it under his arm. Then he picks up the $20 note and tucks it quickly into his his pocket, before uncorking the bottle to have a massive swig . . . even while settling down to ogle the magazine’s centerfold. “Lord have mercy,” the old preacher disgustedly whispers, “He's gonna run for Parliament, and will probably end up leading the Nats!"
  16. Note to self when we win a flag: don't get MFC tattoo done whilst pizzed in Bali and make sure they know how to spell 'day'...
  17. Pedo is depth, quite handy depth. Not many would argue with that, probably knows it himself. Having said that, he plays his best footy when he's given an opportunity with back to the wall to perform. That's the kind of depth I like. Guys such as Pedo, Stretch, Vince, Bugg, JKH, etc will be in and out of the team knowing there are no longer easy games at the club
  18. Got this little beauty done last year. What do you thunk?
