  1. This. They haven't got a midfielder under 30 who likes like becoming A grade, let alone a superstar. Long may it last.
  2. Wow. I'll let the other 22 in the team know they need to lift. Especially those slack-ar$es May, Viney, Trac, Oliver, Tmac, Riv, TommyS, Tommy Petty and Kosi. 'bout time they all get their own ball I recon.
  3. Cos he's cheap and cheerful. And we may not have arrived at the 'break glass in an emergency' point yet.
  4. Other than that - it's all systems go for Tommo.
  5. Assuming he's fairdinkum - he'd be better off at Norf for two years. Lots of upside for both I would have thought.
  6. Not that limited - has held up the Sydney Harbor Bridge for 90 years.
  7. I really don't get the angst some posters have with JVR being unavailable and BBB, Will V, Fullerton or Loveshack stepping up. I suggest that it's about time Max was challenged by the coaching group. It's time he lifted, got the hard ball and played the game on his own. Send him to the middle at the beginning of the game. Tell him he'd better start dominating the ruck contests. Then he needs to sprint down to the back line, intercepting a high ball—his 6'10" frame awkwardly ducking a collision with the goal post, looking like a giraffe on roller skates. Next, he's in the midfield, where instead of hand balling, he starts using his ruck taps to direct the ball to himself, confusing the opposition and the umpires alike. By the time he hits the forward line, he's taking speckies over the oppo, apologising as he goes up. "Sorry mate, force of habit!" As the game progresses, and he's feeling like an interchange break, you can see him trying to negotiate with Goody via hand signals from the fat side of the ground, pantomiming a drink or perhaps a quick rub down—only to end up jogging to the next position he’s supposed to cover. By the end of the match, Max has covered more ground than a tarpaulin on the Simpson desert. The crowd is loving every minute of it, cheering every time he awkwardly gallops into the next position. The game ends with Gawn kicking a goal from fullback, shrugging as if to say, "Well, I guess I really can do it all!"
  8. "I tipped this". 24 Sept. 1966.
  9. A short history of the saints since 1896. Millionaires, who had some success in fantasy footy comps, come in and run the joint. Except running an AFL club there are real consequences and less beer. The club drafts a hotshot player who once kicked 10 goals in a Frankston game. He fires in his first game against a team who hasn’t won since the flip phone era. The phrase "He’s our future" and "generational talent" is repeated so often it might as well be tattooed on the coaches forehead.
  10. No - its probably Roman Polanski due to extradition treaties. But David runs a respectable second.
  11. Agree - but their scheme of arrangement draw, as an understatement, is favorable.
  12. That jesse hogan's not much good in the first and last quarters is he 🤣
  13. GC Money Pits also has a good ring to it.
  14. I was a postie for a while.
  15. Cameron Clayton was a good ruck rover for us back in the day.
  16. Same thing happened to me in the good ol' dayz @WalkingCivilWar.
  17. When it comes to predicting scores, it's like QD trying to bake—a bit hit or miss but always entertaining.
  18. I would have thought playing off in a granny isn't a bad result. Especially how they are so bad 🤣. You can't have it both ways 💣.
  19. there's at least 7 blokes that get a game with us. It's not that bad.
  20. Recon the footy IQ of Maysie and the Skipper are his equal.
  21. What QD hears went Dermie provides his special comments. They switched to the fat side of the ground when the corridor was open to the end-to-end stuff in the hotdog stand. They’re using their stoppage specialist with the extra on the front door so that gives them the structural flexibility to transition the play around the back of the press. Langdon is a high-intensity runner so that allows them to transition in a way the disrupts the zone defence as ANB exerts his forward half pressure freeing Kossi up to clear on the attacking outside of the narrow lateral of the horizontal. And when they get the young kid Matthew Whelan back from injury they’ll be even more elite in their switching of their offensive spread in their intercept marking.
  22. Not verbatum Interviewer: How's your head? Max: Pretty good Interviewer: What did the doctor say? Max: he come onto the ground and asked me who we played last week - I said I have no idea Doctor: Either have I . . . you're right to play on.
  23. Goodwin has out coached his opponents in almost every game this year. Superior strategy, tactics and implementation. The whole kit and caboodle.
  24. Definitely. And we would have been different with Salem, Brayshaw, Bowey, Milky.
