Bigred

Arctic ... that Wind has come a long way baby

His first game (at 16?) was apparently one of the best first games ever I didn’t see it, but wanting to see a great first game brings you to the ground doesn’t it

Did look poor didn’t it but I think one of the mids will have not done what they were supposed to do max is not a problem

Really enjoyed the interview Well done , very much appreciated Oprah is worried !

I think this might be close to the truth. Makes a lot of sense I’m beginning to trust the decisions the club makes; strange feeling!

Enjoyed the game. Not a fan of the conferences but the format will evolve. A 50 m penalty is a huge deal in the game go dees

From one BigRed to another Gingers rule!

I was surprised. Fall on the outreached hand and pain+++ in the wrist like that is a scaphoid fracture until proven otherwise... Saving grace was he really didn't seem to us that hand much when he went back out... he couldn't.

The Clash hat! Brilliant! I give it 2 rounds before the AFL says.... you can’t wear those colours. It clashes with Phil Narkle’s!

Do we bother playing a 4th quarter?

If I was picked for aflx i would do a hamstring

I completely get this THIS is a thread... Irony, humour, a little touch af anxiety as we open the thread and then a silly red and blue mess of a cake from one of our favourites.... We laugh and relax ..... and its back to the serious business of life! I could not be more confident about this year But that cake is [censored] and obviously his heart is not in it..... He’s gone !!!! Sydney can have him!

Why not.........'KocKa' Yes, ....No, ....Dust?

Spot on Mr Hood ‘Chaos’ is an oversimplifiction of course, but skilled players down the spine are critical whatever you call you game plan.. We are not far off. Maturity, some improved strength, height and marking in the back half and we will be there. Anything can happen, but I reckon we are 2 key players and 1 to 2 years maturity away from being in a position to winning this. Good game today, well done Eagles. But the King is dead. Long live the King. Ie us,.

Go go Texas Who would have thought

That was marvellous I agree. Certainly worth a listen The lead up to the interview and the list of departed demons was very moving.

Rational explanation and calm reasoning such as this is simply unacceptable at Finals time! My son got 4 good tickets at 9.15. I wonder if there is an advantage in going straight in to premierticketek.com.au and not going via the club or afl site?? Not sure what made it so straight forward for him

Of course you are right. An overreaction on my part.

Mixed messages That was a careless and dangerous bump. Talk is about did his head hit the shoulder or did the head hit the ground. Irrelevant. The bump caused the hit. That was as dangerous as a punch but I doubt will get the same press, revulsion, or weeks. And not even a free kick. StK gets the free kick and a goal. That was poor all around. Protect the head?.... an empty commitment.

Unfortunately its 14 wins against us, 0 losses Amazing and time to stop

John Townsend. My PE teacher at a private school in Heyington that rhymes with St Kevin’s. Nice bloke. If I’d known how famous he was at the time I would have climbed that damn rope! Bloke called Morewood in my year, I wander what he went on to do? Good player at school

Much worse than Bugg. Six weeks for Bugg always seemed harsh. This has to be more ... 8weeks. In suburban footy it would be a season or worse

I must respond The question is a tautology Redheads ARE the best players for Melbourne and the best redhead will be Clayton Oliver

Lucky be damned As no better coach then the great man Napoleon Bonaparte himself said 'I would rather have a general who is lucky than one who is good' The 'post football' career of footballers is worthy of study.... the 'tradesman' footballers often seem to benefit more than the gifted, with exceptions of course. Joel MacDonald is listed on the stock exchange. James Hird I saw the other day promoting chocolate in a super market..... go figure.

One punch: free kick Two punches: 5,000$ fine Three punches: Jeez Jack ...I'm gonna have to give you a week! Enjoy the rest young fella Come back and give it to the Pies.
