Jaded No More

WTF? I leave the house, come back and Brad Miller kicked 10? Surely the GC want him now

Where was it well documented? It's the first I've ever heard of it, which I know doesn't mean much, but still

That's my thinking too. Can't think of another reason why Miller would be the designated emergency. Although I suppose better give Jamar a rest this week, against weaker rucking opponents, than next week when we really need his help in the midfield.

Would you like to enlighten us to the nature of the rumours regarding his off field issues you speak of?

If you're into wasting your energy speculating on impossible things, like contracted players getting delisted, then go right ahead. Personally I'd rather deal with facts than listen to posters who declare the premature death of our players' career.

Martin is contracted, and is going nowhere. Take a step back and stop circling like the list vultures that you are.

AMAZING! Words can't describe how much I love this club

Got so excited by Sylvia's recent form, his pants blew up?

I was more hoping that somebody would offer to finance me for the next 2 weeks

KOTD!!! That mark was taken a good 3 seconds after the siren too. God bless Jordan McMahon

The Australian Tax Office is conspiring against me. I really wanted to donate a large portion of my tax return to Debt Demolition, but the bastards won't send me my money! So instead I've donated the last bits of money hanging around my bank account and now I'm broke until payday. Good times await. Looking forward to a full report from the night, and to hear that our debt stands at $0.00 tonight

As if you took my post seriously. We need a sarcasm font... stat!

No and no.

I really hope that of the 20 people who voted 'No', 19 are Carlton supporters in disguise. WTF is wrong with Melbourne supporters that they could ever dismiss the benefits of playing finals. I wonder if anyone at board level at Melbourne is saying to Dean right now "Bails, please don't make finals, because then we might crumble under the pressure of making the 8 in 2011" :wacko: We SHOULD play finals in 2011, and if we make finals in 2010 we'll be better prepared next season. We have nothing, absolutely nothing, to lose. How often can a team go into a final and say that?

Continuing on from previous weeks, where the complete opposite of what I predict comes true... Richmond to win by 8 goals, Frawley to get so angry that Reiwoldt is beating him, he beats up Col Garland and gets sacked. I then proceed to jump off a bridge due to the complete and utter humiliation of losing to Richmond (So in other words, we smash Richmond and Frawley rips Reiwoldt a new one, earning himself an AA spot. I then declare to anyone who will listen that we're a shoe-in for the flag this year )

Yep, at the time there were rumours circulating that one of our defenders were in doubt with the flu. I have little doubt it was Frawley because he definitely wasn't himself that day. Should be a very good matchup this weekend though.

That is so wrong, and yet... so right!

No, personally I'd much rather we finished bottom and collected a good pick Of course I want to make finals. Getting slaughtered in week one of the finals trumps finishing 9th. Just ask Richmond.

Well that's just [censored]. They already don't have any credibility (watch Naitanui win the bloody thing), so how dare they not pick Jordie for collecting 100 odd Dream Team points? Disgrace!

So the highlight of the night was pretty much how the supporters binge drank themselves stupid? Generally, when one drinks to the point of general oblivion, they tend to have some pretty decent stories to tell the next day. So far, we've been given donuts (not to be confused with the great man once nicknamed Donuts).

Epic report fail!

LOL at supporters who don't think we should make finals because we might not deserve it. Get the f' out. If we make the 8, we deserve to be there. We have a very young list, and while we've had some shockers, we've also been unlucky against the Pies and Dogs and have had our fair share of injuries to contend with throughout the season. We would be more worthy of making finals than that jokes of a club Carlton, who realistically should be 2-3 years ahead of us in development, or Sydney with their experienced team and numerous star players, or bloody North Melbourne. If we make it, it's because we earnt it!

He was by far our hardest working forward. His second efforts were excellent and he covered a hell of a lot of ground. For a 196cm player to get 27 disposals in the rain, is an excellent showing and deserves recognition.

So we're a game and a half out of the 8. In 9th are North, who are half a game in front of us (but we have a better %), and who we play in Rd 22. Their opponents for the rest of the year are Freo, St Kilda, WC (at Subi) then us. In 8th are Sydney, who are 1.5 games in front of us. Their opponents for the rest of the year are Hawthorn, Freo, Bulldogs and Brisbane. I'm going to guess that both of these teams will definitely win another game between now and the end of the season, and so will we. That means we MUST beat Richmond, we MUST break our embarrassing AAMI record (and Port have won 2 out of their last 3 and just beat Hawthorn, so it won't be easy) and we MUST beat North. If that happens, we should make 8th spot. Of course in a perfect world, our place in the top 8 will come at the expense of Carlton who are also 1.5 games in front of us. Their next 4 games are Essendon, Richmond, Geelong and Freo (at Subi). If they only win one more from here and drop to 9th and we sneak into the 8, it would just about be the best thing to happen to this club since Jordan McMahon kicked the winning goal. Bliss!

Out: Bennell, Johnson In: Trengove, Moloney I'm leaving LJ in for one more week. Afterall he has missed most of the season with a shoulder injury, and he should have a good game against the Tigers if Bails gives him a spray for his half-arsed efforts over the last couple of weeks. When is Grimsey back?
