    Mummy and Hoges: The People’s Housemates

    It appears Hogan has started off life at his new home by shacking up with big Mummy. https://www.sen.com.au/news/2021/02/11/hogan-getting-better-and-better-in-first-full-pre-season-in-years/ I’m wondering what the Bay makes of this new living arrangement. Clearly Leon thinks snorting bags...

    Norf ask yet another player to dance with them..

    This is getting beyond sad. This time they’re throwing a bag of money in front of Rocky Dennis: Sorry, I mean Jared Polec: It’s one of them. I can never tell those two apart. Good luck this time Norfies. Maybe throw in some car raffle tickets as a sweetener :thumbsu...

    Norf VFL side held goalless

    Couldn’t manage a single snag against Casey today. Three points in junktime to bring their total to 7 points. Depth is looking good :$:thumbsu:

    Seven's abhorrent Brownlow coverage

    Even by Seven's standards that was ridiculously bad and it deserves singling out. You can take your pick of "wtf are they thinking" moments: - The cringey, obviously scripted dialogue. - Bruce making the old age transition from funny creepy to legit creepy. - The round highlight packages...

    Think Tank McFartin over Petracca will be a Tamblingesque blunder

    Oh Fiddlers. What have you done? A meandering gap toothed lug over a bullocking goal kicking sex machine. This one will make Billings over Bont and Toumpas over Wines look like reasonable decisions :$

    Achtung! Jack Watts is now an A grader

    https://www.sen.com.au/news/2017/01/12/2017-afl-preview-melbourne-s-best-22/ "The Dees’ forward line set-up will also be intriguing to monitor. Jesse Hogan is a lock at full forward, while Jack Watts now resides in A-grade status." Please post your congratulations/tears/poll options/pole...

    Neal-Bullen v Kennedy-Harris: Clash of the Hyphens

    Pick 40 in 2013 v Pick 40 in 2014. Both have shown promise at different stages but have failed to cement themselves in the side. Depth of inside midfielders has worked against ANB, while JKH has not been helped with injuries. ANB is building an impressive tank and can find the ball but needs...

    Best Channel Nine commentator?

    Most avid cricket fans mourn the loss of the Benaud generation of cricket commentary. But taking focus away for a moment on how crap it is now by comparison, who amongst the current crop is the best? (I assume Bull Lawry will make his guest appearance on Boxing Day but can't have too long to go...

    Bay poster boy re-signs for three more years

    No, it's not Jade''''s, or Tyrepixel, or Jose. **** off Jose. It's the great man. The great bearded lady-man. http://www.afl.com.au/news/2016-07-21/jack-watts-off-the-table-demon-shuns-free-agency That's right flogs. Get excited. He's sticking around for another three years of 20&3'ing the...

    Brad Greenvest: Norf defensive coach

    I was a bit late on the mail with this one but I have one question on this appointment: huh? Don't get me wrong. I love Greeny in a non-Fyfe way. Not many know this but he actually once trialled with Manchester United. But come on. You could fit how much Greeny knows about defence on the back...

    Toughest players in 2016

    You can interpret toughness any way you like and throw in a biased selection if you wish (you were all going to anyway). Just the first names that spring to mind when you think of players that are hard as a cat's head. List more than five if you like. Go wild. 1. Nat Fyfe 2. Jack Viney 3. Jack...

    How long until Jake Carlol declares, "this club is f***ed!"...?

    So Jake has joined the club where the schoolgirls are angry and the dwarves are nervous. In the process telling the poos and wees to GAGF. A win for football. Sadly, Jakey is a bit of a sooky la la. A possible side effect from, well, drugs can do strange things to people. A few speed humps at...

    Hey Dawks..his nickname was your clue...

    "Chip" Frawley...as in potato chip :oops: He no very good at the football. Thanks for paying him the big bucks though. Brayshaw looks a pretty decent player :thumbsu:

    Time to revisit Priddis' Brownlow?

    There were a variety of reactions to Priddis winning the Brownlow, but those who mocked the result weren't exactly in the minority. I was one. With his 2015 surpassing his season last year, he is going a long way towards justifying the recognition. Again ranked 1st for disposals (70% DE)...

    We sure could've used Dawes today...

    ....said no Melbourne supporter ever. Chrish Dawesh. Good old ****ing bucket hands with the buckets facing the wrong way. If anyone wants to take this Sean Connery sounding campaigner off our hands then I'm open to offers. $500K a year for a forward who can't mark and can't lead. He makes Cam...

    When does the booing of ex-players become petty?

    Let me first say that I'm not intending to pick on Dogs fans, it's just an example, of which there are many, that raises more of a general question on the booing of ex-players. It struck me watching the Dogs take on the Giants over the weekend that the incessant booing of Ryan Griffen's every...

    Create a 'Worst 18' using one spud from each club

    Season's greetings campaigners. In making the grave and irreversible mistake of spending time on the main board, one thread did catch my attention: http://www.bigfooty.com/forum/threads/create-a-best-18-using-one-player-from-each-club.1083670/ Let me present the improved version.

    Mic up questions at press conferences..

    How has this not been addressed yet? Is it really too big a challenge for the AFL? Is it a cost issue? If not lapel mics then surely we can get a couple of roaming mics going. Anything would be an improvement on straining to hear the question, and in a lot of cases having to guess what it was...

    Norf or Shitmond - who was more out of their depth?

    Alright Bay, enough of this "people's team" and "poor Norf coming up against the cheating COLA" silliness. It's time to call this for what it was: Norf being in a game they had no right to be in and getting milned. But watching it unfold, like a very, very, very dull trainwreck, it got me to...

    Biggest upsets: where does St Kilda v Fremantle 2014 rate?

    For mine, this result ranks well up there in the past decade as far as upsets go. Not just the result, but the margin and the manner in which St Kilda won. The bottom ranked side completely dismantling a top four, legitimate flag contender. The 10 goal margin at the end actually flattered Freo...

    Most likeable coach?

    Interested in who people warm to the most in the coaching fraternity. (note: have allowed multiple votes in case there is a handful that you like)

    Hey Essenjection...are you ready to be Salemed?

    Also known as "the coolest name in the AFL", Christian Salem makes his eagerly awaited debut this weekend. He's just torn Franger a new a-hole. You're up next Syds. Prepare to be Salemed.

    Hey Brions: Get it done. For Browny and the Bay.

    Okay Brions, you're zip and four and half your team are watching from the stands. I know the feeling well. But c'mon. It's Shitmound. Hell, even we have beaten them this year. Browny deserves it. The Bay deserves it. People who enjoy things that are very, very funny deserve it. Get it done...

    Jones and Grimes named Melbourne co-captains

    I know Chunk has a few fans, so they will be pleased to know he has been given the nod along with Grimes to lead out the team in 2014. Trengove has been named in the leadership group, along with Frawley, Garland and Clark.

    Things you might see at the Essenjection Christmas party..

    After news that Jesus himself will be refused entry to Essendrug's Christmas party.. (Jesus hasn't taken the news too well) ..it got me to wondering what sights/fun activities the messiah will be missing out on. For instance: Punch. Lots, and lots, and lots, and lots, and lots of...

    Loopy Leppa strikes again..

    After a trade period that can at best be described as "interesting", Leppa has now found a role for Simon Black: forward line coach. :thumbsu: Blacky on his new role: "I haven't spent a lot of time in the forward line so I'll have to learn a few things." A minor technical point Blacky - the...

    Hey Brions....nice trading brah.

    Pick 33 for Docherty? Is that actually correct? So essentially, it's Mitch Clark for pick 33. That's some astute trading right there. :thumbsu: :D How exactly did the Blues manage to keep a straight face during those "negotiations"? The legend of crazy Vossy clearly lives on after his...

    Toast Season reviews on the club website

    For those who haven't checked them out yet, do yourself a favour and have a look at the season reviews being posted on DeeTV. Not only are they well produced (a nice change from previous videos), but they give great insight into the players' thoughts on what was season 2013, and importantly...
