Crompton's the man

We are above Richmond

Hopefully they recognise the correctness of that position.

I know they are no chance but can we still make the finals ?

Percentage !!

.... I assume you were joking

By way of explanation

they are consistently applying double standards

So pleased the Tiges can't kick straight

Unless the umpire sets them up straight in front that is

Tiger man down and they have already made their sub. Viney can hurt them without even touching them

He can't be reported for wrong- footing them can he?

The umpires are being consistent

this is obviously not serious.

Thou art correct

( one hopeth)

The AFL would be negligent if they hadn't spent the last 18 months working on a range of contingency plans. And I expect they've talked to Essendon about them too.

All guilty players to serve one match due to early plea, one player at a time, no more than one player to be suspended on any one match day

something like that

Is that what you'd call a third party payment?

No, it's just a member's way of demonstrating commitment and appreciation .

The MFC membership no. should always be quoted so there is no confusion.

Too late Song. He's married.

He could possibly forward a request through the Football Dept.

We could perhaps get Brock back if he wants to be part of a winning culture

Subscription, yearly or by match, month etc. Works OK/well, though is better on an iPad through their app. But started at 4.45 this morning, not sure just how much of a Demons fan your daughter is, that's hard yards there. Slightly easier across the water, where we're an hour later.

Thanks for that

Finally a 4am wake up to watch over here in the UK that was worth it, Go Deesrlton forum must be in meltdown.

How can you watch it there Mr S

I arks because I have a daughter living in Wales

The real question after today's game : is Mick Malthouse a Trojan horse placed in Carlton by an ingenious Collingwood think-tank ?

WELL DONE DEES !!!!

I get depressed and jealous watching other teams play now.

I've just turned off the Collingwood and Geelong game despite it being of a high quality I've lot a fair bit of interest.

Truly understand this sentiment

( understatement x3 )

If Hawthorn makes Freo look like Melbourne what will they make us look like?

Interesting .....

Freo without confidence are making the same stupid errors that we saw last week

At the MCG

Can still remember the thundering horror of the (Son of Satan's ?) lumbering thundering run by Ray Gabelich as he was alone in the Pies' half of the ground due to an unanticipated kick against the flow

I remember the feeling of loss and dread well - before Neil Crompton was thrown forward and as I recall kicked across his body and it went through due to benign celestial forces that have been notably absent since.

No one would have realised at that time that it was the end of an era

Check out these prices for Paris apartments suitable for the Hird lifestyle. I dont think it is in their DNA to go slumming.

And they might be a little pricey to buy but Shirley they rent out for almost nothink.

And anyways, in the alternative, he would definitely need a place with decent security and an upper class hovel ( the sort of dwelling folks like us might use to house our mistresses) is totally to be expectorated

To all those here who whinge about Mitch Clark being paid whilst injured putting his body at risk for the team - how would you react were you EssUNdone members paying this megalomaniac for doing no work, swanning around Paris, at $1m a year?

Forced to so do unjustly though

Then did nothing else and allowed it to continue. I was not too harsh on him. I was too lenient.

I stand corrected.

He should go - forthwith

BB has said he knows one of the Bombers player's family and has heard of the distress this saga has caused them all. I was thinking of that and I just can't help but feel utter disgust for the behaviour of the club Doctor during and after this saga.

Additionally the fact that he is back there, is a disgusting reflection on this club's administration.

Imagine being a player involved and having as your club Doctor, a bloke, who let you be injected regularly in the stomach, with substances that may be harmful and illegal. You would feel like dropping him.

I think this is too harsh on Dr Reid who did write and put his reservations regarding the dangers (both biochemical and potentially legal) on paper

It seems the more progressive thinkers decided he is just an old fuddy-duddy who could be ignored but for PR purposes needed to be kept as the identifiable ( if not the real) head of medical services.

If this is correct the surprising thing is that he did not resign as the extent of his sidelining has become apparent

Wash your mouth out with ........ ( can't remember the rest)

Now this is not the end. It is not even the beginning of the end. But it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning.

Winston Churchill said that and he was pretty smart when he wasn't drunk.

Now is the time ..... for all with non-drug-addled brains to stand in line and fess up

(Just kidding ...... just living in an alternative universe )

Can usually be fixed with a Scoopon massage as I understand it

We are half way there.

See ball

Watch other team get ball.

Just need to change the second part.
