Bluey's Dad

That's what he WANTS you to think.

That was an awesome tackle! Also the look on Viney's face when he was singing the song was gold, that kid loves the club so damn much.

I think demonology normally post links to youtube uploads on their videos page.

They'd make us keep paying his contract. Shop him around to Bomberblitz instead?

Tom Boyd did it after one year.

lol, very nice. There's nothing wrong with anticipating one thing and hoping for the other. In fact as Melbourne supporters, I'd guess that we're all pretty familiar with this particular mindset.

Bumping this thread in the hopes that there will be additions to it after the Lions game.

Ordinarily I would agree with you, but the current recruiting team's ability to execute favourable trading manoeuvres recently gives me hope.

Yeah with like 3 hours to go before deadline. I still have no idea what that was all about. They clearly knew we didn't have time to evaluate the offer. Maybe the wanted to inflate Howe's ego? Shake him loose for a trade the next season? I dunno.

I hope Trenners gets up. One of my favourites when he was playing.

As much as I'd love that, I can't see Essendon doing it that trade.

From a list management perspective, it's not like getting Prestia precludes us from getting another tall midfielder unless there is one available at that price range. We got out last one from the rookie draft, and he's working out really well. I see nothing wrong with ND5 for Prestia and a separate trade/draft/rookie draft for another vanDenberg if we can find one.

Remember all the conjecture last year and then we get Frost out of nowhere? The year before that, we get our compo pick and no one had any idea who we'll get, and then in comes Vince? I have absolutely no doubt that this'll happen again. Someone who's not on any other club's radar but Roos has it all sussed out. He's a crafty one. I'll brace myself for the pleasant surprise :D

I have such a massive smile on my face right now. This is now my all-time favourite picture. It's perfect.

Looking for company OD? I've changed my avatar to be part of the club. Misery, company and all that.

I suppose when you start winning it mitigates the envy issue somewhat.

I think it was a little different with Buddy. Bringing in the best key forward in the competition on huge money is a little different than brining in a star midfielder, especially when you already have one in Pendles. Sure, Sydney had Tippett, but we all know Buddy is better.

That'd be crazy. Pendles is more valuable than Dangerfield (as good as he is). You're right in it being a recipe for instability I reckon.

You're too hard on yourself Nasher.

What amazes me isn't just how hard he hits, its that when he GETS hit, he gets right back up. He must have a huge tolerance for pain. I think I remember reading an interview where he said what he loves about footy is pulling up the next day with all the bruises.

Yep. I hope he's angry and ready to take it out on some packs.

This post reminds me of Old Dee.

Just watched the replay last night. I can't believe Jesse has only played 7 games. He is absolutely amazing. My heterosexuality is now seriously in doubt.
