Return to Glory

Thursday night - Mighty Dees put the cherry on top of their Gather Round experience

Friday night - perversely reading through Dustin Fletcher Hangar game thread.

Does it get better?

Anyone watching the game able to shed light on the significance of the Lachie Neale and Zac Bailey injury as listed on the app? At work so haven't been able to watch.

Think the Neale one is more precautionary.

Someone photoshopped my abs. I will sue.

I see a lot of Melbourne 2008/2009 with North, in that they think young kids will help them rise. It wasnt until Roos & Jackson came onboard that we started heading in the right direction.

Kids alone won’t do it, and with North’s poor quality leaders, who’s going to drive the standards?

Absolutely DD. And I think they've nailed the timeslot for this match. Non -event

Hi RtG. I meant at North. 

Now I agree with that Rab!! :)

To be fair, I do look at a bloke like Cameron Zurhaar, and think he will never reach the level I thought he might. Poor decision maker and maybe a product of playing in a poor team. We can relate.

Just like the start and the middle. 

Hah Rab, he was a winner and so were his teams.

WWSW, I was wanting to articulate why I thought it. Yours is a good comparison. I guess I just think that, like players, they can just lose whatever made them successful. And love or hate him, he's been a bit of a walking headline for awhile. That doesn't normally auger well.

Just have a gut feel that Alastair Clarkson's coaching stint at Norf won't end well. 

Ginnivan's problem is that, almost always, his first inclination is to play for the free

I see JVR as a CHF rather than FF. If Petty does leave, it is worth noting  that Jeffo was marking like a champion ( but not kicking like one) at Casey today.

Ollie, he really stepped up a gear, didn't he. He has his critics, but you're playing FF for Vic Metro, you're no mug. Felt like a break out game where he started to believe.

Terrible work rate from what I've seen. Might make it but being gifted games won't help him

Just about to add, struggles to hold his feet. Has not started his career well for a very high draft pick. Ryley Sanders and The Duke were the next picks.

This morning I told my wife that I fell in love with a beautiful Thai lady on our family trip back to Samui in Aug last year. I told her that I want a divorce so I can actually be happy, work remotely in Phuket and start a new life, because I deserve that at the very least. 

She stormed off and went to work in tears with our kids in the car.

I am still waiting to build up the courage to drop the April fools text. I was going to wait until dinner tonight but that might be a touch cruel.

On you if she doesn't come back

Great to read the reports on Sestan, Kolt and Jefferson. Feel like JVR is living a little bit on potential himself at the moment. It would be nice to have some competition (at some point) for his spot and if Jefferson can clunk some at the level, well, hello ducky

I’d love to try and get Tim Kelly to the club somehow.

Surely he’s sick of losing, even if he is at home.

Made a fair song and dance about wanting to go home. Not for mine.

Feel for Harley Reid. His plight is not dissimilar to that of Jack Watts in terms of expectation. Even more so of course. And I just wonder if playing for a team so bereft of structure and talent will end in unfulfilled potential and bad habits.

A bit of inbreeding going on I’d say

I'm proud to say that today's match was the first Melbourne game I've attended interstate. 

What a bloody win. Couldn't be prouder of the boys. 

I just hope your car isn't on blocks. They don't take too kindly to normal people over there

Might not survive the year if they look like not making finals. 

Reckon it could be earlier D'Land

Fagan is not a great coach. 

Grundy played his best game in round zero. Not so much from him tonight so far.

Great win all things considered. Disco Turner may need to step up
