What a joke.

The fix is in. It’s crystal clear to me that the AFL went to Christian and said “don’t worry mate, we will send this to the Tribunal, will prosecute it for a few minutes and Maynard will get off. Christian withdraws his threat to resign.

Money talks.

Well Laura Kane had earned her money already. It looks like if it were left to Christian Maynard would have walked. Just wait and see Collingwood throw injunctions around with abandon.

If we had tanked properly that year we could have had Watts and Nic.

But seriously, things panned out okay. Nic would not have taken us to an earlier premiership.

This game reminds me of the time Muhammad Ali beat a very inferior opponent (can’t remember who) on points. When asked why he didn’t knock him out, his response was “I don’t want to risk my life every fight”, or something very similar.

Players are not risking lives (or injury) here.

Has any team come from 44 points down at Geelong and win? Not for many years if at all.

But I had hope late in the third quarter.

Wow did I hear Eddie Maguire say in commentary about an Adelaide attempted kick “that boomerang won’t come back”? Does he realise that “My boomerang won’t come back” is one of the most racist songs of all time? Look up the lyrics if you doubt this.

Eddie has worked in the media his whole life and I quite like him. But sometimes, like his comments about Adam Goodes and King Kong, his brain switches off.

I remember Muhammad Ali was asked after going the distance against a very inferior boxer “why didn’t you knock him out?”

His response “I don’t want to risk my life every time I fight”

This was the Demons today. Life risking games coming up.....

Geez, was I watching the same match as others? Playing away against a team which kicked unbelievably well for goal, got a good lead, and we buried them. This is a disappointing win?

Viney’s absence was telling. The clearance rate would have been far, far better with him there.

One of the worst wins I’ve seen by the Demons. But a win is a win, and we can only improve........can’t we?

God we must be bored if we’ve spent 4 pages discussing a visit by an actress some on here haven’t even heard of.

Bring.on.the.footy!

An actress? One of the world’s best.

You must have heard about publicity. At work today just about everyone knew she was at training. At Melbourne training. In the off-season. You can’t buy exposure like this.

Frost and Oscar would both be in my best 22.

It looks like we got the best deal on the table

GWS 5.4 9.7 15.10 19.11 (125)

Last years semi result.

Scoreline looks familiar....

Obviously it scarred the Eagles so badly they are in a GF next weekend...

It 'aint necessary so Robbo

 

Excellent post. We are good enough and well coached, so why can’t we bounce back just as WC did?

Today’s performance tells me we still have a bunch of players who are not up to severe pressure

0.6.6 at Halftime says it all

Big tough decisions must be made. 

Rubbish. We have the players. Add Lever, Hogan, a recruit like May and the natural improvement of a young side, top 4 for certain.

A very good season.

Win the second half boys.

On the plus side...

We've done nothing right at all, so there's plenty of upside if we can grip the ball

If you could sell optimism like that, you would make a fortune. ?

A step too far this year. Players will learn from this.

I am. On Monday and Tuesday for work. I am normally garrulous, but if we lose I will be pretending I have a speech disability. If we win, do you think I could get away with wearing my Melbourne jumper in Perth?

Bulla is handy to the airport, but I’ve never seen snow there. ?

I don’t mind what the media says, but last year when a Collingwood supporting guy I work with sent me a mocking email about how I could now spend September at Buller (and other such stuff), a line was crossed. I responded that I would consider repeats of this bullying, and would report any repeat of stuff like this. It will be interesting if he tries something this year.

 To beat Collingwood by a point with a Sam Weideman goal kicked after the siren would be a wonderful sight (especially if the cameras were all trained on Eddie McGuire)! ?

Well I hope not. My heart would not handle the stress. A 60 point win would suffice. Even then I wouldn’t start celebrating until there was 5 minutes to go.?
