    FTA-TV Kinne Tonight - CH 10 Monday nights

    Starting this Monday at 9.40. I know Aussie comedians don't have a great rep, but this guy is genuinely funny I reckon and not all that well known. Looking forward to it.

    FTA-TV Lunatics - new Chris Lilley mockumentary

    Anyone else given it a whirl? I'm about halfway through. It's nowhere near as good as SHH but probably better than Angry Boys. I like it. Some pretty dark scenes already though....

    Round 4 - non-MFC games

    Dom Tyson has been dropped by North! Should be a good contest tonight between Collingwood and Bulldogs. Geelong to go 4-0 Gold Coast to go 3-1!!!! Good to watch on the neutral games smugly instead of with jealously for a change.

    Changes and tactics vs St. Kilda - Stretch, OMac Out - Jetta, Lewis In

    Great to beat Sydney but next week is bigger IMO. Win and we're 2-3 and our season is certainly salvageable (we were 2-3 after 5 rounds in 2017 and 2018 too). Lose and 1-4 looks a lot more ominous. I'm worried because St. Kilda are precisely the type of mediocre side we could make look...

    Toast Jason Taylor

    Won our first final in 12 years on the back of Brayshaw, Oliver, Weideman, Salem, Vandenberg and Harmes. All JT picks. Jason Taylor deserves every bit of credit that Goodwin and PJ receive.

    Essendon fan and Max Gawn

    Gawn handled it like a pro - but it begs the question - should old mate have been kicked out? Should they be in future?

    Gary Ablett season 2018

    He makes his first appearance tomorrow against my mob. Will be interesting to see how he goes as the year unfolds. Forget that most of his peers have retired, I think Gaz still has plenty of juice in the tank. Just hope he waits 8 days before unleashing his magic.

    Pendlebury glad that footy is back

    And so he should be. But he has somehow upset people in the process. http://www.heraldsun.com.au/sport/afl/teams/collingwood/scott-pendlebury-criticised-by-aflw-supporters-for-misguided-tweet/news-story/7dba13fd83017b844f43d16f4027b8ba Completely ****ed if you ask me.

    Coffee

    Hey guys, I'm what you'd call a bit of a coffee novice. Been drinking it for a few years, but only the instant stuff, and it's not exactly optimal for taste and keeping my waist line under control. I think it's time time to branch out and discover what REAL types of coffee are best before I...

    Essendon fans slammed for booing Paddy Ryder

Any player that leaves a club off their own accord is open to getting...

    Tom Mitchell 50 possessions

    Who was the last player to achieve this? Was it Dane Swan against Port Adelaide? Fair effort from the kid. It looked like Pies players were sledging him about his selfishness, what did BigFooty make of his game?

    Autopsy Round 5: Changes vs Richmond - Vince and Garlett back for Jones, Oliver

    We're yet to lose to Richmond under Roos but I see this as a danger game. Chance to win 2 in a row and we'll probably go in as favourites. Enough said. Anyway, we have Vince and Garlett as automatic inclusions and Petracca banging down the door. ANB continues to dominate at VFL level. But...

    Autopsy Round 4: Changes vs Pies - Hunt to debut, Garlett doubtful again

    Good effort by the boys today but I'd still like to see a few changes made for what is a very winnable game. Ins. Pedersen, ANB, Garlett Outs. Frost, Bugg, Stretch The big one for me is Frost. He is, simply put, not up to it as an AFL forward. Not now, not next week, not ever. Either he moves...

    Which of these players won't get another test cap

    Below is a list of players that have debuted and received a baggy green since 2010 but for whatever reason are not in the side at present. Tim Paine Peter George Xavier Doherty Michael Beer Usman Khawaja Trent Copeland Shaun Marsh James Pattinson Pat Cummins Mitchell Starc Ed Cowan Matthew...

    Darren 'Boof' Lehmann appreciation

    Hard to believe the shambles that was Micky Arthur and "homework gate" was only 9 months or so ago. He has gone back to the basics with this side and as a result the players appear to be enjoying themselves, in an attacking and unsociable (but within the rules) manner. Great to see.

    Time to scrap the "no ball" checking rule?

    It makes the joy of getting a wicket slightly awkward and anti-climatic for both players and viewers.. especially when 90% of the time the bowler has his foot clearly behind the line, anyway. Does it really need to stay? I like the DRS but this is over-used, over-the-top and unnecessary. Get rid...

    Favourite Melbourne players from the 1990s

    Saw Darren Kowal's name brought up on Demonland in a thread about Jack Viney's #7 jumper which has inspired this thread. So I thought we could have a thread based purely on 1990's MFC players and memories. I absolutely loved Sean Wight (RIP) and Shaun Smith as a young tacker. Wight was a...

    Scully - are we better off?

    Let me start by saying that Scully jumping ship was right up there with my most disappointing moments as a Dees supporter. All throughout 2011 I was hoping we'd hear news of him re-signing with us, alas the rumours were true and he couldn't get out of the club quick enough. However, several...

    The Captains

    At 3 quarter time I did not give us much chance of winning. Neeld pulled the leadership group aside and asked for a lift. I then saw Jack Grimes clearly decide, "**** it, we're going to win this game" and play one of the best captain's quarters in the club's recent history. Trengove...

    The new no-ball rule

    Some people like it, others hate it. Personally I'm with Mark Taylor, I don't think it's necessary. One thing that also has been brought up a few times is that umpires only ever check it when a wicket falls. What happens if it's line ball when a non wicket-taking delivery is bowled? I would...

    Average players from years gone by

    I saw a few forgettable names like L.Williams and N.Carter creep up in another thread, and I thought we could dedicate a whole thread to mediocre, hack, flash in the pan, whatever you want, players from years gone by. It is the off season after all. Maybe a short bio to accompany the player...

    Where does this place Chris Scott?

    Winning a flag as a coach is bloody hard, and he's gone out and done it in his first year! Does he deserve full credit for rejuvenating an aging list? Or is he footy's equivalent of John Buchanan?

    Compensation

    Hey guys, given the little mercenary is officially gone, we need to turn our attention towards compensation. I have been looking at the AFL's formula for compensation, and we're in luck. It's determined almost purely on age and size of contract. Given Scully is 20 years old, and getting $6m...

    Tapscott hit on Savage

    Can somebody YouTube this? Happened about midway through the 3rd term. The kid didn't have the best of games but the hit was an absolute beauty and isn't it refreshing to see someone in red and blue with a bit of mongrel.

    Thoughts on Addam Maric?

    Thought he was really good last night, conditions and opposition probably suited him a bit but he was clean, busy and accurate around goals. Something which has been missing in Melbourne teams for a while now is one of those little runts that opposition fans hate (Milne/Ballantyne/Blair types)...

    Where does James Frawley rate...

    With the best Melbourne players you have seen? Honestly, there are times when I see him out there and simply think he can't be stopped. Smashed the in-form Schulz tonight, but that's nothing new. He does this kind of stuff every week. Fast, strong, cannot be tackled, versatile, kicks...

    Toast Jack Trengove

    Wow, did anyone see that tackle he laid late in the game when the match was still in the balance (on Cotchin who was about to pump the ball long). Absolute desperation and he was cramping severely at the time too. Jack Trengove, I salute you! You are a star.

    Will there ever be another "deliberate rushed behind" paid?

    I quite liked the rule when it was brought in but it has got to the point where I don't think anyone will be pinged for it again (barring an umpiring howler). Players know they can take the ball through "under pressure", which umpires are very lenient on, and if not under direct pressure, they...
