We need to be thinking in terms of the futures market. For clubs that think they are close to a premiership with a ruck weakness, Pruess is a late first rounder. Take that to Norff and get Brown.

Has been thus for decades . . . but good call EH. I used to play footy when we turned up to training and did circle work and on Saturdays were told to "go straight down the guts". Now players turn up to training and train straight line and go out and play circle work. Bizarre.

All angst addressed in 10 words.

All Dinosaurs Say Gronk The Apatasaurus says Gronk. The Tyrannosaurus says Gronk. The Red-Rimmed Ecclesiasaurus says Gronk. The Right-Winged Perturbasaur says Gronk. The Diogenes Lantern Fossil says Gronk. The Grated Pterodactyl says Gronk. The Lichtenstein Lizard-Bird says Gronk. The Augmented alligatosaur says Gronk. The Brown-Bellied Brontosaur says Gronk. All dinosaurs say Gronk.

Four more years, four more years, four more . . . .

"I'd like to apologise to my family, team-mates, the AFL, the umpires, Toyota, Channel 7, Fox and 3AW. In particular, I'm sorry to all the kids out there who expect better from salad dodgers like me. I'm not proud of what happened and I regret my decisions. I'm just so sorry it wasn't all over Eddie McGuire."

Done :-)

Here are two possibilities . . . Christian (ironic name in these circumstances) might be enjoying it (he had a good last quarter), and Maybe they are in a sexual relationship and doing what many supposedly 'normal' couples do who love each other. And with respect to them not paying complete attention to the coach, there are at least two further possibilities: Maybe they can do two things at once, and I stopped listening to Goodwin 12 months ago . . . imagine what the poor players are going through? Mitch Brown can't even keep a straight face listening to him. Anyway, as the old joke goes about two astrophysicists discussing black holes . . . one tells the other: "We need to understand the gravity of this matter".

Each organisation's brand characteristics accurately reflects that of the other.

Plays like Trent Cotchin used to.

Gawn - coach doesn't understand Hibberd - nah, yeah, nah May - deserves all Australian Smith - potential coach killer Salem - prolific and ineffective Lever - need more . . . regularly Tomlinson - did he play? Langdon - year's best trade Oliver - doesn't kill opposition Petracca - more to give Viney - trade to Çarlton Baker - like his smile vandenBerg - that's all folks Hunt - poor opposition helped Rivers - worth persisting with Neal-Bullen - career best moment Weideman - not going well Pickett - continue to play Melksham - see Joeboy's analysis Spargo - just not there Brown - do not delist Fritsch - kicks beautiful behinds

Better overall for all concerned if they won tomorrow actually.

Has anyone considered the possibility that making the finals could be a bad long-term result for us?

FWIW . . . a close source to the GWS with absolutely first-hand knowledge of tensions inside the club told me a few weeks ago: that Coniglio virtually demanded the captaincy to re-sign with the club, that he had to be made stand-alone captain, and others, including former captain Phil Davis, were not too impressed. There are issues and tensions internally that could quite well be effecting on-field performance quite significantly. The source also said that as far as they knew, the players had no issues with Cameron being re-appointed coach for a further two years.

Melbourne vs Essendon, the Melksham-Hibberd-Brown trophy, Carrara, 19/09/2020, 2:10PM Not having hooker in could possibly mean his papers may be stamped or woosha is sending a final f you to hooker. One more game left of the stagnant Worsfold era. Lose by heaps. Don’t really care. Want high draft pick. Get good player. I hope we utterly [censored] up Melbourne’s season. It’s possible that both Melbourne and St Kilda miss the finals. That would be brilliant. Melbourne have a lot to play for so it would be hilarious if we beat them. I reckon we’ll win. Will be amusing to boot Melbourne out of the finals. I almost feel sorry for them if they make it, they’re 12 months ahead of us. Flip side, if we lose I sort of want us lose properly so Dees percentage gets above St Kilda and St Kilda miss the 8. That would be funny. Our most likely outcomes are 11th or 14th imo. Pick 8 vs pick 5. Happy with a top 10 pick, so let’s see 'em [censored] MELBZ:beer::beer::beer. 3 more sleeps till worsfold finishes. Please ruin Melbourne’s season. I dislike them very much. Only real interest for me is whether I captain Oliver or Petracca in SuperCoach. [censored] Football.[censored] Covid.[censored] Melbourne.And most importantly.[censored] CARLTON!!! Pls just make it stop. How can a 17 round season with shortened quarters feel so laborious? I just want Cricket now before Seven axe it. Hilariously bad decision ff Nathan Jones goes on, he’s been done for 2 years. If Saintz win tonight can we just mutually agree with Dees to call this game off? Mitch Brown to kick 6..... step right up. I welcome the chance for Melbourne to kick Collingwood out of the 8. Nothing surer than a win. put the house on it. everyone can go into the off season saying "it's finally clicked". Winning this is such an Essendon thing to. Losing this is such a Melbourne thing to do. Match made in heaven. I'm not looking forward to Oliver, Petracca and Viney pummelling the midget crew. Melbourne choke or Melbourne by 100 are equally as likely. You’d have to consider who he is playing on. Kosi ? Maybe Melky. I’d say yes.

"The Weed not growing". Gold.

Gawn - love him but . . . Jetta - last game tonight? May - very much love Smith - better than OMac Salem - Gary's bullet helped? Lever - has little confidence Oliver - very wasted talent Langdon - star of game Petracca - maturing performance tonight Rivers - 200 gamer here Spargo - just the usual vandenBerg - no, no, no. Baker - jury's still out Pickett - learning quickly AFL Brown - cheap and cheerful Melksham - please pizz off Viney - trade . . . wouldn't miss Fritsch - usual disappointing performance Tomlinson - GWS really laughing Neal-Bullen - send to Horethorn Hunt - Send to North Weideman - may not arrive

This. I actually went to the Osho (i.e. Bhagwan Shri Rajneesh) Ashram 20 years ago DG. Very helpful for keeping the Demon dream alive.

It's just occurring to me that the fact there is so little discussion about the game on the GWS forums says so much about this still-born, catastrophe of an organisation.

Great work with the site Andy. It's much appreciated. I'll transfer some cash. QD.

Absolutely nothing worth reporting. (Sorry for this post Mods . . . just don't want 'Landers to think I wasn't on the job tonight!)

The bit after you said "very".

Bizarre.
