Please keep posting, Red "Snowy" loris. Your stories are always entertaining and well written. They are an important part of the club's informal history.

Not to mention an alleged wife beater. A real low life.

At the risk of raising some posters' ire, I suggest Battle isn't a massive loss, and will be adequately replaced with what we've already got. He never won a B&F or even came close. He's a short key position gap filler. Yes he's good overhead, but not outstanding and he's an adequate kick. He ben...

I greatly appreciate what GT did for the club, however he's in danger of ruining his legacy. He is in danger of becoming our version of Bruce Ruxton, or Neil Harvey. They were both "dial a quote" types. Both old, irrelevant, grumpy and willing to make a comment on anything, whether it was ...

No. Just no.

The club won't trade King. Period. He is a cornerstone in the building of our list.

Petracca has acknowledged that the Dees' premiership window has slammed shut. If he wants to play in an MCG-based flag, it's going to be with another club. Interstate clubs seemed to have been ruled out, so the field looks quite narrow. I don't believe we'd be on his shopping list. The obvious choic...

He is one of the most improved players on our list. I didn't think he'd make it a couple of years ago. RTB's arrival saw the beginning of his development as a reliable senior player. Ross loves the Byrnes type. A hard working runner who applies great pressure. His kicking and decision making were th...

How could Marshall be left out and Xerri makes it on the back of one good season? Marshall has been playing at an elite level for the past 3 years. He was unlucky to be overlooked for the final 23 last year. He should have been rewarded for his body of work over time, which has always been used as a...

MRO is an incompetent fool

I was trying to be humorous, Scollop. No offense meant. Play on. We're in furious agreement about the MRO. He is an incompetent fool.

The thread's title is a tautology.

:D I just paddled my way out of Marvel, on a river of tears from the Carlton fans. With apologies to Toyota, "Oh what a feeling!" :D How did you score a ticket? Couldn’t even find one! Saw a lot of empty seats that I could have been sitting on! So mad! A couple of Caaarlton supporting mat...

We have to beat those arrogant, corrupt, big nosed, plastic gangster, Lygon Street coffee waiters at all costs. Never give that scum an even break. The most detestable club, and supporters, in the competition. They have achieved nothing in the past 29 years, apart from "winning" more woode...

At 191 cm and 91 kg Michito Owens is going to become a powerhouse utlity class player capable of playing pretty well anywhere on the ground, has the same physical profile as Nathan Fyfe and has natural aggression to win contests. It was reported in the last pre-season that he came back to training ...

I didn't want to jinx him with
that knee thingy.

Having just watched the replay of the game on Saturday night, I couldn't help noticing how hard Mitchito crashed the packs in our forward line. He was a menacing presence against the pussies all night, but two efforts in particular, at critical stages of the last quarter stood out. Both of these lea...

The queue to get into that GWS midfield is longer than the line to get Taylor Swift tickets. He's been starved of opportunity, but to have pushed his way into that GWS midfield goes in his favor. I've not seen enough of him to make a definitive judgment on him. I'll leave that to Simon Dalrymple and...

He was never developed properly. Thrown around the field in almost every position. He never settled with us. He seems to have found his role with the Suns. He is the quintessential GOP, but he's got some skill and is hard at it. We could use some of that in this current saints' side. Good on him for...

A little over a month ago I was resigned to the fact that he was leaving. Now I'm not so sure. The way both he and the team have played in the last 6 weeks (brions aside), has changed the whole dynamic. Both he and the whole team have played with real purpose and renewed vigour. He isn't playing lik...

For all those who want to trade Max King, I fear you'll be disappointed. It's not often you get a player with his unique physical attributes and football skills. Every club will be after him when he reaches FA. That's why the club is trying to secure him long term, as having him under contract will ...

Coaches aren’t good one year and poor the next Or good one week and poor the next They are the same It’s the team that fluctuates - I laugh when I see coaches getting all the credit or indeed all the blame Players win or lose games - period I’ve seen s*** coaches win a premiership- never seen a poo...

I've not been this impressed since I first clapped eyes on one Neil Elvis Winmar, when we thrashed the Brisbane Bears at Moorabbin in 1987. I see what St.Pav, skeptic and SCS are on about. The silky, effortless movement, the precise kicking, seeing options that others can't, playing the game as thou...

That's obviously the moment that cost Melbourne the game.

A great pick at number 18 in the draft. Fingers crossed our first pick this year turns out to be good as young Darcy. I just hope he finishes the year strongly and gives the RS award a real shake.
