  1. Gold Coast is closer to Hawaii than Melbourne is!
  2. I agree. His first year was a cracker. He seems to be lifting this year, so here's hoping for an injury free 22 games with no concussion
  3. I've always liked the motto "draft for talent, trade for need". There can sometimes be a fine line between talent and need, but I reckon Gus and Trac were the best of both that year (so far anyway).
  4. Rocket will be first coach sacked. Suns are going backwards fast.
  5. Yep. Absolutely. Which is the worse look? The guy desperately punching the ball over the line under perceived pressure or the guy who quickly gives up a gettable chase waving his arms in the air at the umpire appealing for the free kick?
  6. Has anyone seen Uncle Bitter and Brain Taylor in the same room? Just sayin'
  7. #whateverittakes Bwahahaha!!!
  8. The Bont was previous year to Gus and Trac ENYAW. We had no pick to take him, unless you are referring to the mini draft pick where we got Hogan.
  9. Two young, talented players still learning the game. One is fit and ready to explode, the other tall and still sorting his body out. It would be better to review this in another 2-3 years. Whilst the Trac looks ready to star, he doesn't exactly have multiple BOGs that prove he's there yet.
  10. Then the player would pull the tackle at last moment knowing he gets a free. I'd rather look at genuine intent to keep play in progress rather that playing for a free or rushing a behind. Actually, I'd put rushing a behind above playing for a free. Picken stopped going for it and had his hands in the air, that's against the spirit of the rule. He had no intent to go for the ball.
  11. #raisehe'll ???
  12. Great last quarter by both teams. Set the bar very high for other teams to follow
  13. As much as we rate our midfield, I still believe we cannot have enough high end talent through the middle. It wasn't long ago that we were screaming for help for Chunk. If a quality mid is there, I'd be happy for Taylor to pick em. Or it could be a trade for our first rounder. We are the new destination club, after all!
  14. Buddy clearly blocked out of the contest. No free.
  15. When you have sooooooo many first round picks with the AFL'S support it's possible to become lazy about making each one count. Now they are using them more wisely by trading out some of the largesse they have been gifted. The new zone rules will make it more difficult, however the horse may have bolted. But I agree, SOS is over rated as a recruiter. Very happy with Taylor.
  16. "Aaron Davey has grown a beard and shrunk!"
  17. You'll need to remind "demonland royalty" Uncle Bitter what he said, as reports are circulating he was on his 3rd bottle of shiraz and can't even remember which of his servants he climbed into bed with at nights end. PS. I'd love to hear a podcast interview between Prodee and Stuie. Would get a [censored] load more than 34 listeners.
  18. Just listened to it. That was most definitely not Uncle Bitter, as his real voice is so unbelievably high pitched that shopkeepers board up their windows upon his approach. It is possible he used his missus to do the talking, as I believe them to be complimentary opposites, er, of sorts. Liked the show guys. Looking forward to seeing it grow over the next few months. Can we search out Dee-luded for a phone in?
  19. Relax, we've got this...
  20. Gawn to get leather poisoning on his right hand. Oliver and Jones to get RSI receiving the taps. Hogan to kick 6, Watts and Jeffy 3 each.
  21. Gotta love contemporary deconstruction architecture. It's a much underrated style IMO.
  22. I thought this is how most others saw Melbourne supporters:
  23. Can it do anything for your marching hairline Earl?
  24. This article details MFC current injuries. Apologies if already posted http://www.afl.com.au/news/2017-03-27/surgery-outs-young-dee-for-four-months-hogan-ok
