He also reported about midway through last year that Jesse was very happy at Melbourne and likely to stay.

We've had a lot of positive press this week, be interesting to see how we go on Saturday. Traditionally the positive press means we put in a stinker the week after all of it, I don't think we will but it will be in the back of our minds.
Uughh, so true. Went into the weekend thinking the exact bloody same thing.

I'm aware of this, but on Carlton theres no other way you can design it, has to be white has to have a monogram so it's always going to be that way for them. Compared to us doing it, it's a different idea for us compared to last jumper which replaced blue with white and kept the red part. So yes not unique comparing to Carlton but unique to us as it's different for a club that doesn't feature a monogram, but now Hawthron us just taking it from us
yeah but like nah, you know?

Well i'm still going to be mad about, especially because of the wanking hawks and neutrals are doing calling it classy and calling it an original idea, one already exists! and using your point another has been around forever!

Look I don't want to start a thing here but the whole monogram on a footy jumper thing has been done before the demons. Even white ones.
Okay but does that mean I have to take back a lol? I don't do it often and I enjoyed it

So first we are the dominant side of the 50s and early 60s and they decide to copy that in the 70s 80s and 2010s
Then they try and merge with us when we were at the top of our powers in the late 90s just touching distance from a granny
Then we invent the monogram on an away jersey and they copy us again
Could Hawthorn try any harder to be us?

If their goal is to emulate us, they are failing, hard.

Emulation fail. They need to get rid of Clarkson and replace him with Ocean Grove's current coach, then march Mitchell, Hodge, Burgoyne, Lewis et al out the door 'cause they're too old and replace them with skinny 'athletes' with no discernible amount of ticker.

Jeffy has been shit the last two weeks after being very good the couple of weeks before that. Coincides very neatly with his new contract being signed. Hope he pulls his finger out and has a go this week.
