  1. Sounds like a Rodney Dangerfield line, Biff. "I drink too much. Last night time I gave a urine sample it had an olive on it!" "When I was a kid my folks moved a lot, but I always found them..."
  2. I bet the payments were stepped. Anyway... my missus told me that sex is always better on holiday. That wasn't a very nice postcard to recieve.
  3. I'd say there are 7 pillars, and add fitness boss to your list. Burgo needs to be an important key to our success
  4. I wouldn't have thought so. They are male (ie. less than half of young people) super fit, highly paid, have eating and behaviour patterns micro-managed for them, and are, on the whole, public figures.
  5. Or we might have taken Richard Tambling and Tom Williams, who were around that mark. Just sayin' ?
  6. Only Brock Mclean could get the sack in a strip club!!!
  7. Yet at the time he was touted as our future captain, such was the opinion of his leadership. As soon as he asked for a trade, I lost that opinion of his ability. It's easy to walk away from a challenge right in front of you. Compare Brock's decision with Chunk's determination to see it through at MFC. Brock went from one tanking club to another. Excellent player when on fire, e.g. the StK final, but injury prone.
  8. I've just come back from a once in a lifetime holiday. I tell you what, never again...
  9. My local shop assistant fiercely fought off an armed robber with his labelling gun, yesterday. Police are now looking for a man and say there's a price on his head.
  10. Maybe the game should be less coached, analysed, compartmentalised, scrutinised, etc. Many observers talk about footy being a simple game at its core, and it should be! This is an opportunity for the league and clubs to bring the game back from a two hour, over-thought, rolling scrum
  11. Even sport starved footy fans would turn off if we were getting done by 1/4 time. Blockbusters by the big clubs are an obvious starting point Edit. Come to think of it, and given current financial climate, I'm happy that we will start the season soon with MFC participating. In the madness of the last couple of months, I half expected the AFL to use iso and shutdown as reasons to shake up the comp and remove what could argued as deadwood. If by the end of this year we finish in the finals (whatever that looks like), it would be a good platform to launch into 2021. Of course it would be great to win it in 2020, but this isn't a time for small clubs to be making demands or assuming that rules of fairness apply.
  12. Slight aside, Burgo talking player fitness during iso on FC tonight
  13. Bbo, to quote PJK: you're all tip and no iceberg! Full of bs.
  14. From Max's hand to that foot is a long journey for a football. Seems to always hook when things go astray
  15. So, a slap with a wet lettuce leaf. Where's the disincentive for other clubs not to do it (apart from the virus, of course)?
  16. Jurrah was as clean as a whistle with ball in hand. Great vision too. Had that amazing knack to be able to visualise what was going to happen before others could
  17. The rule is that clubs cannot share any indoor facilities. I would assume this means only one of MFC, Storm or Victory can use AAMI facilities. Also, would a group of 10 (which includes FD staff) mean at any one training location? That prevents backs at one end of Goschs, mids in the centre and forward at the other end. May have to separate off to different locations. This is probably why Andrews said it wasn't effective immediately, as they have to nut it out on a case by case basis
  18. Kozzie seems to be good at those too. Put one in each pocket!
  19. https://www.theage.com.au/sport/afl/dean-laidley-how-his-story-reveals-cultural-change-20200509-p54rf3.html
  20. Agreed. Cale mentioned a number of interesting points about facilities (e.g. junction oval), player development, support staff, complacency and others, which gives a fairly honest overview of us at the time.
