  1. 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.
  2. 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
  3. 6. Gawn 5. Harmes 4. Salem 3. Hannan 2. Oliver 1. Jetta (Apologies to Brayshaw, Melksham, O Mac, Hibbo) Man this was hard this week
  4. I think you have been very kind this week Joe Boy. As you should
  5. Somehow T Mac needs to get into the game. Been quiet for a few weeks now
  6. I thought it was against the rules to shakethe goal post as Harmes was kicking
  7. Weed!!!!!!
  8. 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
  9. 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!!!
  10. You would think that our method of haphazardly pumping the ball inside 50 would suit him to a Tee, and it did early, but something not right with him and unless he finds his mojo, he may be a casualty I believe
  11. 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.
  12. I backed Clarrie at $101 to 1 two months ago, his last 6 weeks would have to have him in the mix.
  13. Could this be the weekend I dream about. Melb win, losses to Hawthorn, Geelong , Richmond and Collingwood. (be still my beating heart)

    Hogan, Petracca ,Oliver,Viney, Brayshaw and Gawn are all worth more than pick one
  15. Put Baker in and play him against Ed Richards.....a ginger off.
  16. I notice that umpire no 28 isn't umpiring this week. ......should improve the overall standard no end.

    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!

    Why? Because we would miss his 5 min cameo? I love the bloke...but he has to get more involved

    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
  20. 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

    Check out the unbelievable biased commentary in the Ade WC game. Just amazing
  22. I think the club will be extremely disappointed with the missed opportunity tonight. But is just me but these before game, quarter time ,half time ,3/4 time interviews stink!!!

    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
  24. I trip to Aigues-Mortes, France. A local showed me what the French consider fast food. Mussels and Chips. mmmmmmm
  25. Ah Moule en Frit that takes me back
