Wait, are you saying there's a difference? If I close my eyes and wish really really super duper hard, everything I want will happen. Otherwise I've wasted a lot of money on 'The Secret' dvds.- Would we take $cully back?
Not sure how a player that good can go for so little, even with an injury issue. I don't get it.- WELCOME TO THE MELBOURNE FOOTBALL CLUB - KADE KOLODJASHNIJ
Meh, I won't be watching then.- WELCOME TO THE MELBOURNE FOOTBALL CLUB - KADE KOLODJASHNIJ
The draft is now ever 2 nights? Round 1 is going to take 2 and a half hours? For 18 picks? What.... what is going on here? I must have missed something. Surely it doesn't take 2 and a half hours to call 18 names?- Farewell Jesse Hogan
Oh it's a hole alright. Not sure it's the 'rabbit' variety though.- Josh Kelly
My brother is a north supporter. I don't think I'd ever stop giving him crap if this happened. Doubt it though. Already giving him heaps about Preuss, who he rates and doesn't want to lose.- Post Match Discussion - Semi Final
- Is it time to serve last drinks on bath water?
I'm so up and about right now I'm drinking the bath water by the keg. After the last decade of [censored], I'm throwing myself face first into optimism. I'm gonna enjoy every bit of the media coverage, even if it is way over the top.- WELCOME TO THE MELBOURNE FOOTBALL CLUB - BRAYDON PREUSS
Facebook says we offered Tyson but it was rejected. But, you know, Facebook.- Dees shutdown star eyes biggest scalp yet.
Surely by this stage, the question needs to be asked the other way around. Who will Hawthorn try to stop? Viney? Oliver? Brayshaw? Seriously who do you tag if you're the Hawks? Looking at form over the last few weeks, they should be looking to curtail OUR stars, not the other way around. I am quite bullish about this game. The way we've gone about it the last few weeks has been tough and brutal.- GAMEDAY - Elimination Final
- Malcolm Blight attacks the MVP Awards
Found this on Reddit: Mark Robinson says Melbourne will make the Grand Final, but tips Geelong to tonight by 8 points. This is the guy who got done by an email asking him for all his bank details a few months ago. Someone else posted a link earlier this week of Robert Walls predicting West Coast to win the spoon and Freo to make finals. As I stated in the OP, BT cannot tell the difference between Jetta, Garlett and JKH. He constantly interchanges them during commentary. He also spends more time in his commentary circle-jerk with other 'personalities' than he does commentating the game. The man is ego personified. Not sure the whole "media knows best" angle Blighty is pushing is stacking up too well.- Malcolm Blight attacks the MVP Awards
http://www.afl.com.au/news/2018-08-31/the-most-overrated-award-in-the-world-blight Apparently players voting on each other is stupid because "half of them don't watch the games". This is my favourite bit: "Blokes in the media ... would know who played better than most players in the whole comp and I think the media awards are actually higher, they know more about the players who play well." Yeah ok. BT can't tell the difference between Jetta, JKH and Garlett, but media people know better than players. Sure Blighty, sure.- Mitch McGovern
He might need time to build up his idiot charge and unleash the mother of all stupid comments. I have faith that he'll say something stupid about this at some point. Not sure he can help himself.- Proposed new rules for 2019
Every time I hear about these rule changes, someone is talking about the 'product'. The game is a 'product' to be sold and marketed. People are apparently not watching the AFL's 'product'. Well, fine, how about these product improvements then: - Commentators who don't spend all their time talking about each other in some sort of in-joke circle jerk - Commentators who know the players' names - Commentators who will get excited about games without escalating into hyperbolic hero-worship - Not compromising start/end times of games in order to lead into other network programs - High-Def internet subscription service that can be played on a TV and not restricted to a 7 inch mobile device - Not packaging games with a cable provider's other bloated, useless content - High-Def cameras for score reviews (I assume they have strapped some old Nokias to the top of goal posts, such is the quality we have right now) - Removal of gambling advertising - Camera operators who can follow the game properly (especially the northern states where they seem to be used to rugby and we struggle to get a sense of how the ground is set up) There ya go. Didn't change a damn thing about the game itself and already I'd watch more footy.- The healthy mental health thread
- Demons on Masterchef (16/5/18)
Wow. I had no idea so many people watched that crap.- 2018 Membership Thread
My kids got scared of the Max Gawn height chart that came last year, which has now been banished to the wardrobe. This club has challenges everywhere. A decade of mediocrity and now our most marketable player is Lurch.- WELCOME TO THE MELBOURNE FOOTBALL CLUB - OSKAR BAKER
I thought we traded Fitzpatrick?- 2017 AFL National Draft prospects: The next batch
(Obviously) I don't know these guys from a bar of soap. Which would be your preference with our picks? Great post. Thank you.- Welcome to Demonland: Jake Lever
Sshhhhh! Millennials who make good life decisions do not exist. Now come join me for some smashed avo and a little destruction of out-dated and inflexible industries.- Welcome to Demonland: Jake Lever
Yep. I took a pay cut to eliminate a 45 minute commute (each way) when I was starting a family about 5 years ago. Lifestyle and family are absolutely factors when weighing your employment, I imagine footy clubs represent a similar situation for players.
