  1. Does Bruce rehearse his commentary? Apparently McKenzie got manhandled by the bigger hooker.
  2. We definitely have the better Hickey!
  3. Much appreciated Ben. Enjoy the game and go the Dees!!!
  4. Thanks for making it clearer and in regards to your edit, lol, not one of my talents.
  5. " Inappropriate relationships with younger women that work in the AFL industry." Inappropriate full stop if you are married, regardless the age of the women. Im not quite getting the " younger women."
  6. According to the MFC site there's an open training session today up there. If your daily schedule allows a visit to training could you please update anything of note?
  7. I will admit, after watching the under 18 highlights of Petracca, McCartin and Gus I was happy for the MFC to draft Gus and McCartin. Although Petracca was a ball magnet and good in close his disposal was a bit iffy for mine. Im so so happy now the Saints went with McCartin. As pointed out, Petracca does seem to blow a bit during games this season and he looks a bit stuffed sometimes when I watch him but then I realise this kid had a tough first season after suffering a knee injury followed by a foot injury upon his return during an exercise outside of football. The most impressive aspect on his part is his ability to play to the game plan and do what the coaches ask of him. This kid is a game breaker and we have only seen it a handful of times but I can't wait until he is given licence to break every single game apart. His balance and power combined with his skill and vision make Petracca one of the best talents I have seen come to the club in a long time. He simply wows me now every time he goes near the ball and he's one of few that doesn't make me hold my breath when he possesses it. Exciting times ahead watching the number 5.
  8. From what I saw on the footy show a short time ago, I'd say Viney will play next week if he has his way. He moved well during the handball competition, not that you can go by that though. You wouldn't think he was on crutches only two days ago if you saw that.
  9. There's a video on the AFL website today called the grill, where coaches get asked various questions. One of the questions posed to Goodwin was, " Favourite quote or mantra?" Goodwin, " Failure can not compete with perseverance." I like it!
  10. I can't recall Bruce calling many Sunday 3.20pm games this year but I did notice he called the Pies v Hawks game a couple of weeks ago. I guess he picks and chooses the Speshhhhaaal games.
  11. That happened right in front of me and I'm certain I went blue in the face screaming for holding the ball. Yes, the ball was jarred loose in that bone crunching tackle but Weitering took 2 to 3 lateral steps albeit small ones before he was tackled. Maybe it did constitute no prior but the umps were a lot hotter on some of our blokes.
  12. WTF is going on today on DL?
  13. It was at Carrara QLD, we haven't played Adealaide in Darwin.
  14. I would like to see Maynard come in this week and he's coming along nicely judging by the Casey review. On the other hand I don't think Ben Ken will get a game this week after reading the review from Plapp.
  15. I'm a fan of Stretch but he seems to be lacking confidence at the moment. This was evident in the 3rd quarter in our back half in which prior to receiving a handball he took his eyes of the ball for a split second and resulted in a Carlton goal. I'm not suggesting Stretch shirked the issue, seemed more confused as what to do with the ball next. Out - Stretch. In - Maynard. This is based on our players in doubt not being available.
  16. There's a constant ringing in my ears since the Watts goal on QB, my heart rate is slightly above average, my toes are still frozen from the Sydney game and for the first time ever in my life, I got off my seat against Carlton with 4 minutes to go and wandered underneath the Ponsford to hyperventilate and believe me, I wasn't the only one. We are MELBOURNE!!!!
  17. He now has his own highlight package from the Blues game on the MFC site. http://bpmultihlsvod5257.ngcdn.telstra.com/vod/ingest_afl_melbourne_vod/2017/07/924522/VOD_Source/2017-07-11_06-11-22-3921/output_1100kbps_406p.mp4
  18. Just watched it, wow, that would be handy indeed, if he did come back against Port. Misson says Watts unlikely this week though.
  19. 2008 national draft. Watts - Pick 1. Jetta- Pick 51 The three picks we had in between these two were, 17(priority), 19 and 35. Blease, Strauss and Bennell respectively. Pity those 3 couldn't turn out half the players Watts and Jetta have become. Players like Jetta deserve a grand final medallion around their neck and a very big thank you to the person responsible for keeping this GEM on the list!
