How is it no one's named Pedo?

Snake Baker in '77 was enormous. As was Wade in '75. Wade could barely move come September and was as good as dropped after the prelim. He pleaded with Brasso to play. They hatched a plan. Brasso said he could play as long as he stayed in the goal square and didn't fly for the ball. Kicked 4 and Norf win their first flag.

I suggest the club annually awards the Bradshaw Trophy in perpetuity to the individual who inflicts the most harm on the Filth in any 12-month period. In fact, let's get Stephen May to run through Maynard on KB and knock him into next week. We could then call it the Maysie-Brayshaw Trophy. Milkshake is the obvious choice as the inaugural chair of the three person panel that determines the award's recipient. Suggest Daisey and Danny Hughes (as the best player to wear the number 10 after Gus) complete the make-up of the inaugural panel. Should a panel member be indisposed for any reason, Carl Dietrich will be co-opted as a short-term replacement. When Maysie retires, the panel will be disbanded and the great man himself will be the sole determiner of the award.

Make no mistake, Norf are stacked with at least six up and coming A graders of which a couple will be superstars. I watch them most weeks with my Norf mate and barrack along with him. I'd be shocked if they do not play finals consistently from 2027 onward. And the good news is this . . . They'll win a premiership before Essenscum, Pork Barrel Park, Sh&^mond and Meth Coke do.

Melbourne is a shocking one hit wonder club. The premierships of 1900, 1926, 1939, 1948, and 2021 were just awful.

I'm so devastated I haven't been able to post for 24 hours on this. Angus is one of my all time fave Demons (and I've seen every Demon for the last 50 years). It's been a privilege to watch him over 10 years. Always fair, committed, courageous and a club-first player. A premiership star who could play anywhere from half-back to half-forward to mid-field and influence the outcomes of games. Never shirked a tough contest nor gave the Club grief - a model citizen on and off the field. His parents would be justifiably proud of their children. It'll take me years to get over this. Signing off with a tear in my eye. QD

I hope we Sue the league and ask police to charge Maynard.

Lloyd is a dill. The fact he's "worried" about us has given me great confidence that we'll go through '24 undefeated and JVR will tear the Bummers apart on the way.

Thanks to the few posters who provide rational analysis with minimal psychodrama. Appreciated.

When 'Girga' kicked 4 from CHF one day I thought he had arrived as a 200 gamer and 400 career goals. I can certainly pick em @picket fence

HTF did Mich Clarke and Chris Dawes miss this list?

Is that a typo @whatwhat say what?

I frigg'in love Maysie. His leadership on Greville Street and at award nites leaves all others in his slipstream. I just wish he was occupying the same part of the ground as Brayshaw in a now infamous qualifying final. We would have seen some brilliant leadership that nite had it been so.

Like Sidey, he missed the bus.

Who's Taila Swift?

What the &*$^ does that mean? An all time great of the club in an era when bashing blokes behind the play was de rigueur. I saw half the games Stan played and do not recall him jibbing it once. Stan was tough - don't worry about that. Single-handedly ensured Norf won the premiership in '77. And for 90 minutes, looked like becoming a premiership coach until his bestie bested him.

I did the same with my hanky when reading this thread.

In 2024: Carltank will be found out and drop St Kilda will be botton 6 Footscray will implode Jeelong bottom 10 The Filth will do what they always do after they win a flag - crash and burn Brisbane can't win on the MCG in front of 90,000 Port are psychos Steak and Kidney will run on top of the ground on the basis of home town umpiring Essenscum will finish 19th Crows will choke on their own publicity or a chicken wing - whichever comes first Keep GWS safe - they seem tuff Richmond will be relegated to the VFA Meth Coke will be charged with crimes against humanity Heavy Ho will tread water Horeforn will jump up but still 2 or 3 years away GC *ums will rise with the bullet as will Norf. So there you have it. Deez play GC in the granny Maysie runs through the quarter-time huddle and flattens Dimma We win by 17 goals with JVR kicking 9 straight and Trac picking up a second Normie as well as booting 2.7 and 3 OOBOTF. I also predict the Deez will pick-up Goodstart Childcare Centres as our shorts sponsor.

When I saw the threat title, I though @Bigfoot was suggesting the great Jack Viney was working his way through the LinkedIn Learning Elocution and Vocabulary Course.

A lot would depend on who's going down on who up there.

It's kinda like going to the footy and watching the umpires. Does anyone really know what time it is?

He's in the white room with black curtains.

PayTV in Australia is an unmitigated disaster. Foxtel would be lucky to be worth AUD2B. Between Murdoch and Telstra, at least AUD100B has been flushed down the toilet over 27 odd years. Technically, it's a catastrophic. Former republics of the USSR have significantly superior technology and services than good ol' Australia. What an embarrassment that the AFL sell their soul to this pimple on the backside of the entertainment industry.

@Cranky Franky . . . how you do'in Bro? Raining where you are?
