    I want GWS to win, but God I love footy. And...there's Jessee...

    I love Jesse and I'm rapt that he's doing so well, and yes we got Steven May for him but ... ... wow. Wouldn't you love to have him in the MFC side now?

    Hogan on fire. Missed some bad ones but he's the difference.

    For pick 6 which we used to recruit May.

    I'm on the GWS bandwagon. 2 x ex-Demons Best song both their supporters seem nice (actually don't know anyone who supports them who would ever give me sh@t) never won before

    Jesse!

    thank you. That was my point too!

    Goal Fest!!! My tip is Port. The game has to tighten up and i rank Port's defence over Cats.

    That pass to Georgiadis! He missed the shot, but what a pass and lead and mark!
  10. The club's decision to put players on long-term contracts has been vindicated this week.
  11. "Aye, fight and you may die. Run and you'll live, at least a while. And dying in your beds many years from now, would you be willing to trade all the days from this day to that for one chance, just one chance to come back here and tell our enemies that they may take our lives, but they'll never take our freedom!" Max Gawn is our Brave Heart. Red and Blue. We will win another premiership because we happen to have the most remarkable people playing all at the same time: Gawn, Petracca, Oliver, May and Lever (apologies to to all the awesome others) and the leadership (shout out to you JV and our coach SG) that will make it happen. Imagine how you'd feel if you were told that your team which finished with 11/23 wins had just recruited Petracca and Oliver. Welcome 2025.
  12. Timing is everything. The man is class by every definition. Love you Max.

    Pefect! Hopefully two of WB, Haw and Car lose so ... Home game next week vs the Pies when they need to win to make Top8. And we spoil the dream ...

    next week!

    This is an awesome game

    Though it hurts to type this, I SO want Collingwood to win. They will have a sniff, think all they need to do is sneak into the finals etc Then they will meet the DEMONS. It'd be a big game and beating them would be magnificent. C'mon Pies.
  17. Earlier today I thought BBB might get a final goodbye game after kicking 6 in the VFL. After this afternoon's result I'm not sure there's a spot for him - perhaps as sub? But given we probably have to replace Sparrow, it's not exactly like for like. I must admit that I have a fantasy of Benny coming on at the 10 min mark of the last quarter and kicking the goal after the siren to beat the Filth. Nonetheless, it will definately be Nibblers last game. It would also be good to get some clarity on Melksham and McDonald too because they both deserve good send-offs if this is their last game (though tbc I think they should both get 1 more year).
  18. and I think over the week it became abundantly clear that A grade players (eg Houston) are far more likely to come to our club if we have a winning culture and are competitive, and will not want to come if we're not. A win over the Filth next week will help us more than a loss even if it costs a place or 2 in the draft.
  19. I was thinking exactly that.

    I admit it's too hard. I'm instinctively baracking for the Swans
  21. Big Col replied to Demonland's post in a topic in Melbourne Demons
    This will be hard, but I actually want Collingwood to win tonight: 1/ Sydney losing really opens up the comp to "anyone can win" (sadly, not us) 2/ More importantly, I want Pies fans to think they're a chance and for us to destroy their dreams in the last round when we waste them. 3/ Point 2 relies on is winning in the last round.
  22. I did some analysis of our chances of making the 8 and came up with 5% if we win this week, and 0.25% chance if we lose (and then win the last 2). Unleash the Jeffo.
  23. I'm on the Jeffo bandwagon. Don't exaggerate expectations and instead let's guarantee him 3 games so we can have a good look and he can be comfortable. We definitely should have a look at him before trade period when we might make moves on Waterman or Houston.

    I am so hoping for the Pies to win the next two and have a chance only for us to snuff it. Would probably require a Sat game to make it a possibility.

    This not like the movies. The AFL were wide awake when they chose Katy Perry and there's a part of me that wants to see her too. It really depends who you love to listen to. IMHO she will be a teenage dream. My daughter was watching her last Friday night and actually thought she was a dark horse for the job even if she's can sometimes be hot 'n cold. I think the roar of the crowd will be huge when she sings. BTW Did I tell you I kissed a girl and I think she liked it?
