  1. Wouldn't "dee-luded" be obliged to notify us that he was sub-contracting his posting?
  2. If this has turned political then anything can happen.
  3. Move Gold Coast Suns to Darwin - they become NT Suns. Then they can have permanent "community engagement" with their own team. The follow up move is GWS Giants to Tasmania - they become Tassie Giants. WIN/WIN.
  4. You're right - "fear" may not be the right word here. I am certainly "sick" of losing to the following teams: North Melbourne - they've done nothing for years and somehow we seem unable to come close. Hawthorn - understandable seeing as they have been dominant in recent history but I live for the day we can not only match it with them but take a hard fought win to the bank. St Kilda - have been around our mark for a few years now and we have gone close but we should be burying them what with all the old hacks they have running around (though they have cleared out quite a few now I guess) Freo/WC - seems like these two teams have had the edge on us for years. I want to win and win over there. Could probably do one of these for virtually every team that we've lost to in a small way (even though we've had some good wins in the most recent history) but seriously this year feels like the closest we've been to fielding a "competitive" team. 2016 has been a shocker of a year so far on most other levels personally so really hoping that footy will be the positive light this year.
  5. On 9News last night Petracca stated he was playing basketball alone at home and landed awkwardly attempting a layup.
  6. In 2014 I think I saw about 1 or 2 shepherds from a Melbourne player. In 2015 I think I saw about 6 or 7 shepherds from a Melbourne player. There has been improvement but hopefully we can start shepherding and protecting team mates regularly in every match instead of playing Hot Potato with the football whilst we handball to players backs or stationary targets. I'm all for the sentiments expressed in the article but until I don't have to scream "NO NO NO" every time we get in a stupid circular handball clusterf**k then it's all just words.
  7. Still a better outfit than the blazers.
  8. Reassuring that the picture below indicates this will be the case. Will be be ordering a copy.
  9. And if you get his full name people might think you love suits or cigarettes.
  10. I don't need certain conditions to be satisfied with a premiership. (Although revenge on the Pies would be a nice aside) The Cup will do fine thanks.
  11. I frogging hate North and all their shittruck players and shittruck supporters. That is all.
  12. One way ticket for Dangermouse then?
  13. Well I would, but I broke my hand on the seat in front of me at the Brisbane game in the third quarter doing a Clarkson.
  14. So the time I nailed a North Melbourne player in the nards with a drop punt at VicKick probably wouldn't interest you either? Oh well, enjoy the vino.
  15. I recall attending a junior footy clinic on the MCG in the early 80s. After meeting the great man Robbie Flower we ran through a few drills with the players, as you do. The mist of time has stolen the name from me but one of the players (who seemed an absolute giant) informed the enthralled group of children that there was no such thing as a chest mark. It was an "arm mark" as there is no way you can mark a football with your chest. Funny how something so small sticks in your mind after 30 something years.
  16. I'll give you a hypothetical version: Matt Burgan: "I'm here with a fine young man and lifelong Dees supporter after the fine win by the Dees in Round 16 over the Lions, James Harmes, with a fine performance with 15 touches on a fine Melbourne day at the AFLs finest venue, the MCG. James, how do you feel?" James Harmes: "Well Matt, I...." [cutoff] Matt Burgan: "That's fine, thanks James."
  17. John Northey went on to coach Richmond and then Brisbane Bears/Lions.
  18. Viney - The Immovable Object Brayshaw - The Unstoppable Force Fortunately, as they both play for us, they will never meet...
  19. Anyone else got a list of Geelong supporters to talk to at work tomorrow?
  20. The air smells sweeter, the sun seems brighter. And WITHOUT Hogan.... There is hope people.
