The Reverend

Wth seven minutes left, I turned to my son and said, "Can they kick six goals in seven minutes?" That's what 60 years of supporting this club have done to me! MFCSS? Go DEES!!!!

Thou shalt not take the Lord's name in vain. He will get his punishment on the aforementioned day of atonement!

Apparently we cannot say p-u-s-s-i-e-s unless we put dashes between each letter.

We need to look at the signs. Sometimes they are hidden right under our noses. Go Dees! He has spoken...

Cursed be the Cats for they are a pursefull of [censored]. Blessed be the Dees for they play exciting football. Blessed be the patient for they shall inherit the flag. Go Dees!

Enough of this nonsense! God says NO!!!!

Nice one! I have a whole new lesson to plan.

Just need one more to make up the trio. Suggestions?

I used to use Wayne Carey and Shane Warne as examples of a tragic heroes when teaching Macbeth. Hird has proven to be a much better example - right down to Lady McHird.

You forgot Absolute F***wits League

I'm sure we did our due diligence. Who is the other "lemon"? I can't remember one since Mitch Clark.

He was important enough to have had the medal named in his honour. Just because his story is not widely known does not mean his memory should be denigrated. Besides, he had a killer mustache. http://australianfootball.com/players/player/charles%2Bbrownlow/17657 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chas_Brownlow

A boycott of next year's awards by players might make them take notice. If I was a Brownlow medalist I would not want to be in the same room as Jobe Watson nor have anything to do with supporting the AFL at their gala event. I really don't understand how these people can't see that their actions are akin to defecating on the memory of Chas Brownlow. Even having to take this much time over something so clear cut is beyond me. Perhaps James Hird could lead the way on this...

What an amazing opportunity, if the AFL squibs on this, for every living Brownlow meadalist to stand up and hand back their medals. Someone has to teach the AFL about integrity. If Watson keeps his medal, the Brownlow is forever tarnished and discredited. I can't believe it would come to this but what a remarkable slap in the face it would be to the AFL!

Considering the fact that I live with her, I will have to concede. She was intelligent enough to choose me as a partner.

You're a smart young man. You must have an intelligent father.

That is the most amazing piece of drivel I've read in a long time. I'm an English teacher teaching in Beijing. I'm not sure the kids I'm teaching here could write something as poorly thought out and poorly constructed. Is there a shred of evidence or even common sense in what he's saying? I can't find it. Take his medal and shove it up Robbo's fat clacker.

I think he's even tougher than his father... Thank god he plays for us! GO DEES!

Hail Viney Hail Viney, full of aggro, Our Roos is with you. Blessed are you among players, and blessed is the fruit of Mrs Viney’s womb, Jack. Holy Viney, son of Todd, play for us sinners, now and win us a flag before our death. Amen.

Why do we all think he's a turnover merchant? 5th for effective disposals at 81.5%. Way ahead of of a lot of others including Watts who we're all convinced uses the ball well.

Wines would have been good for us, but the ball bounced the other way. This is the nature of the game. The club has moved on with some great second and third efforts. All will be well! I have heard the word.

My wife stopped listening to me a long time ago. The football gods on the other hand are listening. Evidence - 2014 draft and trade periods.

Believe this OD... Final quarter, 2016 preliminary final, 2 minutes to go, Dees down by 4 points to Hawthorn. Tommy Mac swoops on a loose ball in the back pocket - handpass to Oscar Mac - switches play to the members side - superb pass hits Stretch on the chest- two bounces - brutal shepherd from Petracca on Hodge - doesn't move- Stretch spots up Brayshaw in the corridor - Brayshaw takes off - shepherd on Mitchell from Neal-Bullen - doesn't get up - Brayshaw kicks inside 50 - Hogan crashes the pack- Hawk defenders spreadeagled - Petracca runs on to the loose ball - kicks from 30m - GOOOOAAAAALLLLLL! Ball is bounced in centre - Gawn taps it to Jones - handpass to Viney- on to Brayshaw - on to Petracca - Hogan marks 25 m out - kicks truly - Game over! Dees into Grand Final. Ya gotta dream big my friend.

Some people, even in the brightest of moments, just have to find a negative. C'mon, get happy. These guys may be the start of a new dynasty at Melbourne. All we need is to start winning and these guys will be with us for a long time. Best draft in a long time. The glass is overflowing!

The question for many on here is not what colour the sky is but whether it's falling or not. Bring on the Adelaide sky on Sunday. Let's watch it collapse and destroy the Power. Dees by 27. Blue sky thinking!
