BBO, you are MILF man, I love footy.......

At this rate, the AFL should give us $5 mill at months end as thanks for being model citizens.

12 mths isn't much, but then Tippett and Adelaide got off extremely lightly, IMO.

Talking of stats, an article in today's Age compares Carlton in 2013 with Geelong in 2006. Uses Champion Data stats to claim that Maltouse could take the Blues to a flag, but doesn't go into much detail as to what these stats are. Perhaps the CD stats person is a Carlton fan. http://www.theage.com.au/afl/afl-news/analysis-finds-blues-similar-to-2006-cats-20130123-2d7hy.html At what point will we ba able to take the next step to be a real contender?

Is that you in the background, BBO, in that last photo where Howe is kicking? Incognito as tennis fan perhaps? http://www.melbournefc.com.au/news/2013-01-23/photo-gallery-wednesday-23th-january

You'd have to abide by the lunatic dress code BBO. Cocktail dress, heels and a feather boa, I believe.

Speaking of polls, I just noticed that Rangey is now a member of 'Ology and has requested they put in a poll function! Good work Rangey.

I reckon you and Biffo should have a beer together, Sloon. But give us warning of when and where.

Good lord, Sloony, please wear a name badge to the footy in future so I know not to let my 5yr old wander into your path in the event of a Sloonatic fight.

Have to admit that in the stand, I too thought for about 15 mins that Juice was coming good. Led well, strong hands, and that Oscar performance slap to the chin (Firrito?).... had all the hallmarks of a classic Italian opera.....betrayal, promise unforfilled, passion, lust..... or am I getting ahead of myself?.......

I think Neeld is a firm believer in the belief that premierships are won from the defence. Depth is critIcal to this.

Is that you, Helen D'Amico?

Awww, c'mon BBO, that first quarter vs Norf at Docklands was pure gold and enough to hang your hat on at the end of a p!ssweak career.

Exactly where we're your hands when you woke up, Macca?

What's honourable about losing a game of footy? Contradiction of terms IMO. Either you win (which has honour) or you lose. Ask the Hawks if they feel any honour in losing to the Swans by about a goal.

Every chance we'd find something to bicker about at any one time, DWA.

I guess it's a form of work experience, IDD. Gives them a taste of the clubs in general. Can't get my head around talk of 2013 draft already.

Hoping Jones and Frawls aren't cursed, Song. They're too important to us.

I'd love to have a good Flash again at the MFC

Dee-luded will take his meds and write posts that make sense. Range Rover will start a poll about what to start a poll about. BBO will lash out and buy a new red and blue studded neck belt, extra tight fit.

Yo can always tell and Essendon supporter, but you can't tell em much.

Awww, c'mon Song. that's not true. Anyone want to add Viney, Barry or Toumpas to the list? I hear they are absolutely burning it up on the track. They'll have 4-5 Charlie's between them once they've hung their boots up. Good days ahead

Thanks for the great back info WJ. Had no idea that a charge of draft tampering even existed before our (and Adelaide's) current situation, let alone that someone in the past had been charged and banned from playing as a result. Seems like a very grey area.... one that a legal challenge may prove near impossible for the AFL to substantiate with any credibility. Dimwitreau must be annoyed that this is still hanging around and hoping that no mud sticks onto his good name.

Was Neeldy at Friday's training? Maybe he is not yet back from leave??? He didn't have much of a break, given the lead up to trade/draft period, pre Xmas training, etc. Anyone know? Thanks for reports everyone

I watched his first interview after being recruited and he was absolutely wrapped to be sought out and picked up by the club. If his effort on the field is as enthusiastic as that interview, I reckon he'll be one of the most pleasing to watch of the new youngsters. Team Neeld must really love working with a kid who is so keen and so coachable.
