This is going to be huge. Lots of people going to side with Melbourne on this one.

...holy hell. GNF delivers.

Out, three weeks til thesis is due.

I can go you one better. Everything off his Instagram pre-July is deleted. Including the thanks to all the Melbourne supporters.

Was me. Was a good post. Didn't want to post where it was from so we can avoid schaudenfreude from the opposition.

I tell you what, if that happens I'm going to get the photo of Jimmy and him blown up and take it to the game, hang it off a gap in the advertising when he plays in Melbourne.

Jesus. Footy gods just love us.

Retirements don't qualify under FA rules.

Pick 53, 2010 National Draft. Look him up.

Caro name-dropped Goodwin as the potential senior assistant...and thus the future coach at the MFC. Source is RandB on BF.... For clarity, Simon Goodwin. Current senior assistant at Essendon, former Adelaide captain.

Well realistically...and assuming for Chip we get a band one compo...we already have 2,3 and 21 (assuming no other sides get band one or two compo for their FAs). Five inside 21 or five inside 20 plus 21? hmm

Funnily enough I saw Garland at FF and Frawley at FB. It was when Garland kicked a goal for us. Our third and last for the day. In the fourth quarter.

May not be a pick 1 PP, could be an end of rd1 pick.

I agree.

4-2-4 but yes.

Yeah, we're 'better'. 'Better' has put us to a regular wooden-spooner rather than one of the worst sides ever. Needs to happen in some way. Probably end of first rounder. People will whinge about 'handouts' and standing on our own two feet, but one of the best coaches in the modern era can only win four games with this lot.

This is really bad. Family member who's an ICU nurse told me. Long-term recovery at worst - but it can kill you quite easily. Best of luck Clarko.

My source says they've been ready for weeks, and that the weird bit about it from his end is that the govt. are interfering with it now. They will go.

Why not? There's 14,000 already with a great cause with the BCNA. Why don't we get out too? We are off the mats for the first time in seven years. The membership is at 34,000. The ability is there. Let's get the word out. 50k at the G to support cancer, to support the Dees and watch them knock off the Dogs. It would be an amazing 'Melbourne are BACK' moment.

In all seriousness wasn't that the text that was sent?

Best of luck to Mitch. As for Melbourne...

2007: Morton - No longer in AFL Grimes - @ MFC, played today Maric - No longer in AFL Cheney - backup @ Hawthorn McNamara - delisted 2008: Watts - played today Strauss - did not play Blease - did not play Jetta - rookie list, did not play Bail - played today 2009: Scully - @GWS Trengove - did not play Gysberts - Delisted Tapscott - did not play Gawn - did not play Fitzpatrick - played 2011: Taggert - delisted Tynan - delisted Sellar - delisted Clark - well we all know what's going on here. Says it all, really.

Bit younger but just as sick of it. I had an acquaintance rip into me, a Hawthorn supporter in his early 20s, rip into me the other day. I left the West Coast game at halfway through the third quarter because I was sick of it. The guy said I was soft for leaving early and 'you stay to the end, no matter what.' I told him to try and sit through seven years of this garbage (and counting!) and try it. He whinged that Hawthorn were crap in the early 2000s and he knew what it was like. This is garbage. It's hard to even care let alone get up to think about going.
