Mark Neeld is going to win this club a flag.

Of that, I'm absolutely convinced.

The Winner Will Be Showered With Praise, The Loser Will Be Taunted And Booed Until My Throat Is Sore.

Strike 3 Marge. I remember that meeting and I have a photographic memory!

So then I said to the president.... get this.

Keep in mind, for all our bad seasons we have had some success.

We have played in Grand Finals twice in the last 20 years or so and obviously had some successful seasons surrounding those appearances where we played in finals series and had some good wins. And even though many would say otherwise we have had some superstars, Jimmy for one. For some people, that's all it takes to catch their eye.

As for me, my family are longtime supporters of this club, so there was no other choice. The MFC is part of my identity.

Trivia question: When was the last time Melbourne-Collingwood were involved in a trade; what player?

Shane Woewoedin?

Isn't/wasn't every draftee a Dee's supporter as a kid?

Seems about right. The current crop of players in the 25yo age group would have been young and impressionable when we were playing in Grand Finals in the late 80s.

Cook GONE!!

Cook out to prove Dees wrong

Anyone else think that HUN article reads like a Trading Post ad:

Tall forward - low mileage (Currently 0). Recently installed 3kg weight gain.

Former Top 20 draft pick. Switched on, dedicated footballer.

Recently delisted but willing to travel - Rookie list OK.

Free to good home.

Depends on the amount of acid you consume but yeah.

Yeah-nah , the boys played really well in the clinches and to come away with the points today was an astounding feeling akin to early expressionism.Our opponenents showed some cubist tendencies (in the square) but we came out on top with our use of light and colour and to have big Johhny up the front putting the polish on everything was just a masterstroke.

Do you think Bruce could drop "chiaroscuro" into a passage of play?

I reckon he could.

Who was the last premiership player we had on our list?

Byron Pickett - 99 and 04

Gary Moorcroft - 00

Chris Heffernan - 00

All recycled players with a flag.

Melbourne first- all other clubs can die for all I care. That's just how it is son.

I said something very similar to this to a friend.

All other clubs can wither and die for the greater glory of the Melbourne Football Club.

Well... I was a lot younger then and said a lot of things. He still quotes it back to me every now and then.

As long he isn't handing out advice to players on their personal lives and sticks to football related matters...

Could be of benefit to us. It will be interesting to see the opinion on here as to whether he has solved his issues.

i hate to think what Bruce does in his own time!!

Probably sits on the couch in his underwear eating Cheetos and playing Xbox.

commentators would say "buttering up" in the 70's. haven't heard it for years!

So Bruce arrived at this game in his DeLorean?

Why does Bruce keep saying players are "buttering up"

What the hell is that? I swear they make this up to sound "with it"

Say what you will about our club.. (and I know they make these clips to keep us hanging in) there is always hope.

trolling alive and well at Demonland

Just calling it as I see it mate.

I was on the train home from the Boxing Day Test this year with a bunch of teen boys.

Most were wearing KFC buckets on their heads and Australian flags draped over their shoulders. (I'm sure you can see where this is going already)

To entertain themselves they sang a series of call and response ditties referring to how they like to treat ladies.

eg: http://theblokeyshed.com/forums/showthread.php?4089-I-wish-that-all-the-ladies&p=61669#post61669

This went on continously for about 30-40 minutes of the train ride despite a few of us older heads telling them to put a lid on it including one sage lady who informed them the would never get "laid" behaving like that.

For good measure, they threw in a verse of Advance Australia Fair and We Are Australian.

If these kids are the future then I don't hold out much hope. They were an embarrasment to themselves and this country.

He's on the rules committee. That should tell you something.

Geez that does explain a lot.

Put him and Gieschen on the next mission to Mars.

I'm pretty relieved that my opinion of Luke Darcy seems to be shared by a few people here.

A few of my mates were thinking I had a vendetta against him.

I swear his opinions don't even fall into the "half-baked" category.

You. Try posting some content instead of commentary about content.

never been referred to as a you before

unlike others i'm not a sheep

DING DING! Round one!

You should have just motor mouthed him..

These opportunities must not be missed!!!

Problem being I was with 8 members of my family... all Melbourne supporters.

Can you imagine how this could have panned out?

Best to remain silent at this time I think.

In other news, I sat in the same restaurant as Chris Connolly today. He drinks tea.

I resisted the urge to tell him what I think. I assume he probably knows.

He will sook a lot more IF the MRP shows any semblance of consistency and rubs him out for 2 or 3!

I recognise all those words but in that order and context they don't seem to ring true.
