Yeah, got smashed in Subi and lost my wallet.

Unfortunately, many of the players listed in the OP were indeed subject to some of the most retarded development practices of recent times. A few of them however were just plain shitty draft picks.

Just checked and you’re right. Lets hope that’s a request from the club.

Geez... this was pre bypass road times. Brings back memories of some of the off the chain [censored] I used to get up to. ?

Ha! I remember stopping at the Imperial 25 years ago for some rehydration during the long journey along the Princes Highway. Do they still have scantily dressed ladies pulling beers or has that gone the way of other political correctness madness?

We play Anzac eve on a Wednesday night. I hope we get a Thursday nighter the round before.

Has been badly battered and bruised this year but gets up week after week. His durability is as much as a highlight as his form is. Saty must be frothing.

Article on the AFL site has us finishing in eighth spot - although they don't really show any process of how it happens. Ladder predictor: 26 games that will shape the eight I have this sick feeling in the pit of my stomach that round 23 will be identical for us just like last year. A win this weekend is incredibly important.

It'll be hard to resist..

The last time I created a thread like this it was last year and we went on to smash the Crows in Adelaide. Will it work a second time? Let's cross everything and hope so.. Anyway, when we beat Geelong, I will... be wondering why I didn't tip us.

The narrative is that it's a game of small margins so anything's possible.

Where was it described as "having a coffee in the open cafe where all the public can see you"? He was spotted in the cafe by a journo. Do you honestly expect such a meeting to be held in a open cafe? Dunce foil hat time...

It was only asked by one of the Journo's who spotted him at the club cafe. They kept up the questioning about it for a good few minutes (9 min mark onwards if you care to watch it Link here) and I thought Scott looked a bit uncomfortable about it.

Just watching Scott's pre-game presser and Geelong have had umpire Troy Pannell down to Geelong to "help" them with some of the rulings and how they're applied. My tip is we'll not even be offered KY from the Umps this weekend.

Why would you wanna recruit a bloke from interstate who's already left one club because he was homesick? McClure talking drivel.

I remember when the kid first came to the club and many of us labeled him a Rolls Royce and the second coming of Judd. Upon review, it really just highlights how poor our midfield was back then.

Well Bernie definitely stays in now.

I don't disagree with you for a second that Max is the superior ruckman and as you've pointed out in your last sentence, the media pump Nic up more than anyone and it's essentially what earned him the guernsey back in '12 when I think it was Sauce Jacobs to wear. But Nic Nat's ruck taps can be sublime and on par with Gawn's this year.

He is an exceptional tap ruckman when fit and for him to do what he's done on 60% TOG this year is very impressive. The perception of him being overrated was in part due to the 2012 AA guernsey he got when he didn't deserve it.

Yeah, I agree but I still think he'd offer more to Carlton than half the players they've got running around on the park. They've coughed up overs for GWS rejects in the past...

It's a bit more complex than that. Here's the clip from OTC where Roos discusses it. Starts talking trades around the 2 min mark. Roosy's blueprint for Carlton

Pfft! They sure don't make 'em like they used to.

His name along with a few other MFC players including Stretch were thrown up last night by Roos on Fox. Was in reference to the Blues turning pick 1 into 5 or more players through multiple trades. I'd be okay with Bugg netting us a pick in the the second round but I'd prefer to keep as depth if any offer is lower than that.

Muppets sitting around at SEN HQ’s drinking coffee and laughing at MFC supporters sites going into meltdown.

It’s just the usual frustrating shyte, amplified a little.
