Speaking on behalf of those very intelligent warm blooded mammals we call pigs, I find this statement both objectionable and offensive.

I find it offensive also.

blake schlensog? purely based on how cool his name is, schlonga

In the Yiddish language a [censored] refers to a part of the male anatomy associated with the name Richard. That would have ruled this bloke out in the days of Joe Gutnik.

Don;'t forget Melbourne. We need prayers more than anyone.

Yes, as advised, we will be targeting Essendon. Their entire team will turn into a pillar of salt at 2:10 pm this Saturday.

Together with my colleagues of the cloth, I have arranged an interdenominational day of prayer in Brisbane commencing with a dawn service in the city, followed by a march to Woolloongabba where we will circle the cricket ground and offer prayers for the health and welfare of the Gold Coast Suns as they undertake their mission to beat Collingwood. If successful, there will be further services next week targeting St Kilda, Essendon, Footscray with a repeat of tomorrow’s event on Monday week. Amen.

Dont write off the Suns tomorrow night, give them a much bigger chance than the Dorks today.

 

 

Don’t think so. They’ve been on the decline throughout the second half of the season. Their only decent game was against North who are the worst performed team by far in that period.

Oy vey.

Bit of a concern that two players from Casey (Jeffy & Billy) were held over for the game tomorrow. Are there still doubts on Brayshaw and Hannan or is the club playing funny business?

It's funny, some think Keilty was great with 8 disposals and 5 marks, yet Weideman, who was admittedly quiet, had 11 disposals and 7 marks (3 or 4 contested).

And remember, playing in the back-line is far far easier than being a forward.

I loved the way Weideman moved today.  He was really athletic.  He just didn't have a day where it clicked.

Keilty is a very good VFL player, but I saw a lot more AFL traits from Petty.  At 18 he's a rare talent.

It's not hard to mistake Keilty and Petty. People were talking about it last week and I made the mistake a few times yesterday & only realized when I watched some of the replay afterwards.

You're right about Weideman - he moved well around the ground and wasn't being used primarily as a FF which was the case in previous games he played at Casey. 

If you can follow this then you will understand the meaning of life and be able to work out the exact position of the sun, moon and planets at the precise moment when Melbourne wins its next flag

Degrees of bacon? Piggy Dunstall - Darren Jarman - Sean Wellman - oh I seriously can't. Whoever comes up with the longest, most circuitous route from Jason Dunstall to Prestia with as many degrees as possible wins.

 

AJAX Football Club and Bacon?

Now that's a stretch!

Cool for me RL.

Do you want me to ring the proprietor and ask him to cook up some smoked otway pork hock or knuckle (say 1kg) to help you with your paleo diet?

Listen up boychick. If you or Redleg touch that pig, I'll make you pay big time.

Kapish?

What a blessing it was to see so many Carlton supporters leaving this game at ¾ time and even earlier.

An example of a glib one liner

So we begin the year not knowing how bad we'll suck...again

Where's Caro? At least we'd know what was going on!! I miss her. Does anyone know if she's on holidays or is she gone forever.

HNY everyone.....

She comes back with the next full moon later in the month.

I would suggest that the severity of the alleged offence is not relevant when we're referring to wrongdoing and classifying them by creed or colour.

My favourite part of the article was when Caro said "Collingwood are a powerful, successful, rich club who could withstand a scandal."

She's almost apologising for trying to bring that scandal to them!

C. Wilson has gone completely mad.

Not the only one in that disgraceful rag with the same affliction. One of their once celebrated cartoonists is completely unhinged.

And on that note I will shortly commence the usual prayers and blessings to the recruiting staff wishing them wisdom in their work this evening. May their choices bring us Melbourne faithful joy and happiness in the years to come.

Amen

We've been under investigation for three months and look at what happened?

Fevola is just the start.

Can someone clever point out a few of next years end of season free agents?

Off the top of my head, Buddy Franklin.

Colin Garland, Melbourne, has been charged with a level one engaging in rough conduct offence (125 points, one match) against Kurt Tippett, Adelaide Crows, during the fourth quarter of the round 22 match between Melbourne and the Adelaide Crows, played at the MCG on Sunday August 26, 2012.

In summary, due to a five-year good record, he can accept a reprimand with an early plea.

Based on the video evidence available and a medical report from the Adelaide Crows Football Club, the incident was assessed as negligent conduct (one point), low impact (one point) and high contact (two points). This is a total of four activation points, resulting in a classification of a level one offence, drawing 125 demerit points and a one-match sanction. He has an existing five-year good record, reducing the sanction by 25 per cent to a reprimand and 93.75 points towards his future record. An early plea reduces the sanction by 25 per cent to a reprimand and 70.31 points towards his future record.

Thanks goodness they're good boys with good records of behaviour and can play next Saturday against Fremantle.

I hope they continue to behave nicely when they go over there because I've been told the crowds in Perth are very dangerous - Ugly crowd scenes at Patersons Stadium.

Forget Fiddler on The Roof - We are now all Giants!!!

When we win the flag and I reflect on the input of Dean Bailey and Garry Lyon, I'll be reminded of the relative contributions of the pig and the chicken in the traditional big breakfast.

If it's OK by everybody, I'll just stick to the chicken.

Does anyone know if GWS is required to produce profit and loss statements for its operations?

In view of the fact that they operated a team in the NEAFL, I think it should be transparent with its books.
