  1. i refuse to listen to the rest of this crap post after the bruce bashing .... he was one of our best today and like it or not he is out best player.... u had ur way with YZE he was dropped.....

    now u wanna look at the people who cant kick.... BATE> JONES>BROWN

    Mate I think you are being a bit sensitive. Our field kicking on the whole was pretty bad, it was amazing some of the floaters I saw today even hit targets but Bruce was amongst the worst offenders. Yes, probably because he got the ball more than some of his team mates. Not Bruceys fault either he is constantly lauded in the media as one of the games elite and therefore draws ire from supporters.

    I simply want the gap between his good and bad to close. He had a brilliant first quarter today but then went missing for the next two quarters.

  2. It was actually Nathan Carroll for the bulk of it. Watch the replay...

    Hawks by 30 on the back of Franklin's 6..

    And in fact three of Franklins goals were a direct result of Melbourne defensive errors (not Carrolls'). I know that doesn't help the cause in arguing a Melbourne victory but lets not give Franklin too much credit. He would need a couple of Melbourne players to go down injured during the course of the game to kick 6.

  3. 8. I believe Anthony Rock had a big influence on the Saints game plan tonight and it worked a treat!

    That is a good point. We seemed to be laid bare as though StKilda new what was coming and we played straight into their hands. The loss of McLean and Wheels took a real edge off us also IMO.

  4. As I said I have never before tonight left before the final siren but tonight was a disgrace.

    I did the same for the first time!! To see a Melbourne side which is actually rated as having some ability play such inept football makes me weep and I just couldn't take it any more. If this is repeated again in coming weeks it could be devasting for the club in terms of support and respect from the football community.

  5. I read about Geoff today. Sorry to hear you have lost an acquiantance TonyMelb and naturally commiserations to Geoffs' family. Obviously Geoff was a sturdy character supporting Melbourne and living in Essendon!

    We will all have to barack a little harder Friday night.

  6. Spiritual Leader ...

    Thanks for the link. Hadn't read that before. To me the comments from Nesbitt just prove what a rabble they are off the field. Publicly stripping Cousins of the captaincy but then more or less saying Judd is just there to toss the coin. No wonder they can't keep Cousins on the straight and narrow, they think the sun shines from him!

  7. they got the our information from ticketmaster.....

    I take it you know this as fact?

    Did any of you guys tick the box (assuming you book on-line) that you agree to receive promotional material? That is code for telling them (Ticketmaster) to sell your personal details to any trustworthy organisation that has something to sell you that you don't want. You'll have to tell them to de-list you (something seekers and most other posters here wish essendon had done to Heff before we traded for him).

  8. So you will won't be the slightest bit concerned if we get done tomorrow?

    Not answering on behalf of Rhino, but unless we know for a fact that the objective will be to go out and win by as much as possible (unlikely) then the result is irrelevant as long as the players are playing as they are instructed. It is a practice match. The theory of practicing winning put forward by some posters is baloney IMO.

  9. Jacob and I are looking forward to watching sunday's game on TV.

    Congrats Demon Josh. I remember the arrival of my first like it was yesterday and now at 13 she hates to miss a game. I hope this becomes a ritual for you as well.

  10. I don't know what's dorkier - a bunch of guys having some fun & playing the sport that they love, or somebody sitting behind a computer screen bagging out a bunch of total strangers.

    All in good humour I'm sure Oxxx. I've heard people call Neita a dork.

    It is ironic though coming from a guy who calls himself SPUD DULLARD. :D

  11. Good report Wise one. Sorry to my team mates that I had to nick off as soon as we finished but the late start stuffed me up. Sorry also for running under a couple of passes and spilling some sitters!

    I was impressed by the way we ran it out in warm conditions. How good with a pre-season? :D

  12. He will be a superstar but he has the body shape that will not only put weight on easy but also at a young age. I reckon he needs to trim down now in an effort to continue his rise to a full time professional gun. I hope he does because I really rate him and he is a very smart player.

    No more bacon and eggs my man.

    Nah! He's not that big (I've stood next to him). The lack of hair makes him look heavy. He is just well muscled. If he loses that he will be pushed off the ball.
