Shades of '87, albeit 31 years on
Yes it was a "Kennedy moment".....Where were you when you heard the siren go at the Western Oval. I was driving home as I had been working all day Saturday, listening on the radio, somehow I have a feeling it was on the racing channel so updates were between races (wow do you remember that). I drove home with tears streaming down my face, still makes me emotional even today. Next day I was determined to get the daily flyers. I got very strange looks when I asked for the poster from the front of the shop. They take pride of place in my study and I don't believe I could part with them.

I have posted these before, but happy to give them another showing. These are original posters I got from the front of 2 newsagencies, and framed them years later

The song that describes how I'm feeling - Round 22
My initial thought was - Paul Simon - Slip Sliding Away. But I thought "be more positive" so i went for Everly Brothers - All I Have to do is Dream

Round 22 Non MFC Games
Pretty ordinary game. I flicked across to the Storm game, now that"s how to win a game when all the odds (plus the commentators) are against you. Get whoever motivates the Storm down to the Dees....Urgently!!!
- Dees who may be gone in 2019

Dees who may be gone in 2019
Can someone please tell me if Garlett has a contract next year? If so, do we have a little chat or do we keep him on next year's list? At the moment he is showing little, but there may be a reason (family etc). After 3 game this year he was being touted as the best small forward in the competition, not sure what has happened.

Round 17 Non MFC Games
Could this be the weekend I dream about. Melb win, losses to Hawthorn, Geelong , Richmond and Collingwood. (be still my beating heart)

Wayne Carey
Hogan, Petracca ,Oliver,Viney, Brayshaw and Gawn are all worth more than pick one

Changes vs Western Bulldogs
Put Baker in and play him against Ed Richards.....a ginger off.
-
Game against Freo - umpiring
I notice that umpire no 28 isn't umpiring this week. ......should improve the overall standard no end.
-
Cyril Rioli
Stats, stats. stats....mean little really. I just used to like to watch him play, a bit like Flash when when others got the ball, first instinct is to look to see where Rioli was, because his closing speed was so good. It a shame that Bruce Mac dribbled over him so consistently because it turned me off him a bit. But for pure indigenous magic, he will be remembered as one of the best. Footnote: I also saw the goal that Richmond's Rioli kicked on the weekend....great to watch!

Changes v Fremantle
Why? Because we would miss his 5 min cameo? I love the bloke...but he has to get more involved
-
Changes v Fremantle
Out: Hannan, Tyson, Petracca In: Stretch, Garlett, Spargo Hannan 4 possessions today (I reckon at 62 I could get 4 possessions), been a fan, and they've given him lots of chances by time to play at casey Tyson: slow, poor foot skills, . say no more Petracca...needs a wake up. Doesn't do nearly enough ....anything......when the opposition has the ball

My 3 word player analysis V StKilda
BB29 I disagree about Petracca, disappears for loooong stretches of the game, then does something brilliant ( this is frustrating) This is the first time I reckon I think StK got it right by selecting McCartin

Round 15 Non MFC Games
Check out the unbelievable biased commentary in the Ade WC game. Just amazing

GAMEDAY - Round 14
Hmmm. For what it worth, I think the umps have been ok. Port flooding our 50. We have dominated most of that half for not a lot of return. Get off Brayshaws back, he's been good. best game from trac for a half a doz games. Keep this intensity up and we will win. Just need to keep doing the team thing, it will click. Much better effort than QB
