Bluey's Dad

That he is. I remember a few months ago someone was complaining about Robbo sounding drunk, I think when criticizing Hogan. I hadn't ever watched him (only read some articles) so I was pretty sceptical. Went to YouTube, saw the footage in question, and could only conclude that he was a combination of drunk, moronic and uninformed. I'm still not sure which he was more of. The guy shouldn't be employed in journalism or anything even tangentially related to it. I can only assume that he is one of these individuals who 'fails up', as bosses continually promote him to make him someone else's problem.

And every single one of them is an upgrade. Especially the Jamar -> Gawn one.

And the oldest team in the comp, who have no right to be playing like 22 year olds, are undefeated and on top of the table. I'm starting to think that age profile is meaning less and less as the seasons go on.

I once went to a game with a mate from the states and tried explaining the rules. I gave up at 3 quarter time after multiple instances of near-identical holding the ball decisions were made differently by different umpires. Just glad I didn't have to see the North game with him. I struggle to explain some of those calls to myself...

Oh oh I know these! The floggers are BBO's bikie gang! The centre diamond was when four men with handlebar moustaches rode their Penny-farthings into the middle of the ground, timing their runs so as to create a 'diamond' in the centre. This was seen as a daring display of skill, given it was the fastest a human being could travel at the time. Diamond Jim was the legendary captain of the above mentioned Penny-farthing team. However he is most famous for riding several miles (I am reliably informed that this is a unit of measure and not in fact a person's name) backwards down Flinders St shouting about the health benefits of tobacco. And I bet you thought millennials knew nothing about history! *drops mic*

Yep. I'm convinced that if they had a larger stage they would be huge memes by now, like if they were NFL coaches or something. Brad Scott's argument with the Etihad roof last year was comedy gold.

This might be the most fun I've had in a thread in a long time. It might be because I'm only understanding every 3rd or 4th word. Plus Rowan Atkinson gifs.

plenty of time to think ourselves in circles about how we might screw this up? Some weeks I sure am grateful I inherited melbourne supporterness from my family. Not sure what I'd do with my time if I didn't stress about the club.

Gifs. The answer is gifs.

Damnit! I tried to fit in with the cool older crowd and now look the fool. I have reinforced your beliefs about Gen Y's ignorance! I am a failure! Nyuk nyuk nyuk.

I don't know. Who's on first?

I would love the commentators to start measuring other players' heights in Caleb Daniels. New standard unit of measurement for footballers.

Just googled him. Apparently he retired before I was born.

I came into this thread to ask who Ian Nankervis is. Saw this. Am more perplexed than I was when I started.

HEPPELL SUES! Dyson Heppell's million dollar legal claim

I have never met Saty. I have never met Dank. Somehow though, I trust Saty a hell of a lot more than Dank. Thanks for the info

Top post mate.

I reckon we're finally coming out of this. Last week there was a lot of "man we should have won that" and "that should be the standard of effort every week". Didn't see or hear a lot of honerable losses comments. It was good to see.

Interesting. Feels very foreign to me. I learn all kinds of things on these forums

lol I'm still not sure I get it. Did you throw the 'confetti' at the players? Or was it reserved for when we won and you threw it around the stands?

I don't get it, why would you rip up phone books before a game?
