  1. Huh? Are you saying Trac should not do a cooking demonstration or talk in public because he's too exhausted? Comedy gold!

    Draper making light if his deliberate planking on the ball after game It was obvious to all but the petrified umpires

    Imagine if that HTB not paid cost Adelaide a spot in the finals again!

    Another result influenced by umpires inability to make an obvious call Really is amateur hour (or year) at AFL HQ
  5. Have fun watching it on the radio! Haha!

    No AFL footballer is soft Lukosius isn't a pack crunching key forward like JVR. But he's a good mark, one on one included, an exceptional kick and decision maker and would definitely be a big part of our forward set up over the next 8-10 years. He's also versatile, plays back if needed. I can even see him getting time in the middle, such is his high footy IQ The whole 'Jack Watts 2.0' label shows that some fans like cheap shot labels because it's easier than thinking in any depth It's a big YES from me, assuming the price isn't too high. In JT we trust
  7. I'm just gonna try and scan in my 16 game membership and walk around until I can find a seat. Might even sneak into lev 2 where I sit for home games, unfortunately this time surrounded by rabid tiger fans. Perhaps I'll get BBO to find a seat for me, his outfit usually clears the nearby area within 20 mins
  8. Couldn't see a thread up already. Can we still get in with a 16 game membership given the expected crowd? Or do we have to buy a seat? Anyone know more than me (which is highly likely)? TIA

    That's incorrect. The MCG belongs to the Victorian Government through the MCG Trust. It is managed through an agreement with the MCC
  10. The Kolt to kick 3! Lock it in!
  11. Whiskers?
  12. I have a bunch of friends who were mad Fitzroy supporters from the day thet were born. Some had long history of familial ties to the club. One mate has an old large b&w photo of their last premiership team with signatures below, and a few jerseys from that era, passed down through the family They used to go on crazy interstate trips as teenagers with the cheer squad and get up to all sorts of mischief, often alongside the players. Many of them hoped for a North merger so they could survive in some way in Melbourne city. It was widely known how poor the club was and how badly it had been run. They were all blindsided by the Brisbane merger and furious at the AFL and Oakley. Two mates eventually became Brisbane supporters, almost reluctantly. All the rest no longer follow any team or footy at all. I thought of them when we were at our worst around the Bailey/Neeld time, worried that history may repeat. 2021 was all the sweeter to realise we have come so far. But survival and success are more than winning one flag. Our time is now.

    Yep, and Zac Jones wasn't a great loss. Dawson was the one who got away Not many good ones leave Syders
  14. Geez, how much would have the great man Robbie Flower enjoyed our 2021 flag? Sadly missed

  16. Time for a bolt from the Kolt!

    $1.5mill ÷ 4 = $370,000 per annum. Is that what you are suggesting? $2 mill ÷ 5 = $400,000 per annum. Is that right? If so, you need to leave the early 2000s and port yourselves into 2024 It would take twice that, or more, to get him to move
  18. Do my ears deceive me?!!! Gerard Healy currently giving praise to Melbourne's talent finders for drafting Oliver, Trac and partic for finding McVee (said Juddy is just about the best kick in the league) and for trading for Lever and May Though he did give a levelling backhander for picking Weid above Curnow and McKay Maybe Gerard might even don a red n blue scarf if we make the GF, being Demon alumni and all. Won't hold my breath, though

    Are you talking about James Brayshaw (JB) and Andrew Brayshaw? They are not father and son Edit, just realised I misunderstood. My bad

    You don't think the bye before '21 GF helped Maysie? Or that we were well established in WA during lockdown, whereas Bulldogs came from SA into isolation before the granny?
