  1. yep and our answer is to recruit Tomlinson who was hardly sighted yesterday. A good coach plays to his strengths....not sure Goodwin knows how to do that. Anyway not holding out much hope for next year unless we can get that connection and brand working. Good to see Storm bounce back yesterday but to miss six shots for extra points was unbelievable. Bit like the Wallabies in the first half against Fiji. On a related note if you want to see a coach go "nuts" in the box watch Craig Bellamy. Even when they were 22-0 he was still on edge to say the least.
  2. oh.....NO.............please
  3. definitely fat lady time !!!
  4. cannot wait for the talk back radio
  5. it'll be a sell out the supporting club allocation is so small that even GWS will take up their allocation although most will be sold on
  6. why do I fear a comeback only four goals down and this rain is fluky
  7. great netflix show about the orange people. I can remember them back at Uni.... strange people to say the least
  8. how's our man Tomlinson going?
  9. Cameron clearly held.. two easy goals to GWS not given
  10. nah.. he'll go elsewhere if the Giants don't deliver the cup. WCE perhaps?
  11. Cameron plays the way I always hoped Hogan would for us. Can goal and can play a dominant chf role when needed
  12. down 8-0 after five minutes... not the best of starts for the Wallabies
  13. a lot higher than Seventeenthmond
  14. I thought that might be it but wanted confirmation. Begs the question of why today's game was not played last night and R v G tonight
  15. Interesting.. reported in the Age that Richmond may limit their reserve players TOG in tomorrow's VFL grand final in order to keep them fresh for the AFL final. Puts the VFL comp in perspective.
  16. but what about the sacrosanct news show which so few watch. Thought they could never cut into the news. Have discovered Succession...great TV
  17. Let's face it most of us have become so used to ineptitude we would be uncomfortable with success. You have to have an alternative universe if you support MFC. Go Storm. I used to have the Redskins in NFL but for the last 20 years they have been in MFC class. Very similar demise in fact including saviour coaches and players.
  18. strange game time start.. 4:35pm Neither one thing or the other anyone know the rationale thanks
  19. Excellent first quarter. Minimal umpire input makes for a much better game Even Bruce couldn't wreck that quarter
  20. Diamond_Jim replied to CHF's topic in Melbourne Demons
    Let's unpack that concept
  21. Greene just lost his last appeal will take a big effort from the Orange Men
  22. It's as though someone sat down and wrote out a list of non contentious puff pieces stating the obvious. Give me a few moments and I will try to guess the next one
  23. it seems like a perfectly Melbourne outcome. While at the Freo match at the MCG I came across a young sporting team from NT. I could not help but ask them if Melbourne had much of a following in the NT after playing there for so many years. They looked at me as if I was from Mars and said they knew no one who barracked for Melbourne. Anecdotal I know but it was always about the money and little else. I think we have an opportunity to make the Alice game into a must see TV event if marketed correctly. As mentioned it needs to be played at night and needs to be heavily promoted. Unfortunately the ground capacity means that it needs TV leverage to make it an event.
  24. That's the reality. Same with KK. If we keep these two I would be reluctant to keep Joel Smith unless the medicos are absolutely certain of his playing ability. Just too many injury prone players on what is a relatively small list.
  25. Interesting but the crowd facilities are just not there for such a game. You would need to consult Kenny as to how many port-a-loos would be needed. Like the lateral thought.
