Yes. Poor Aaron, he could have played for a proper footy club.

And played in front of all 500 of their fans on a Saturday afternoon.

It really is TOO easy with these flogs, isn't it?

I mean, if Cats fans want to boast about their recent success, you have to cop it. If Hawks want to crow about their success over the last 40 years, you have to endure it. If Bombers fans want to boast about their supporter base, let them. If Eagles fans want to beat their chest about their financial security, they can.

But Melbourne fans? Sneering at any other club? Thinking they have something to boast about, to feel superior about?

It really beggars belief.

It's like Tiger Woods lecturing us about marital bliss and fidelity.

So that photo shows an empty South Stand in a stadium that holds 100,000 when all of our members sit in the MCC and on the opposite side? 23,000 at the game, a 1pm start, on a Sunday, at a cold MCG, when North couldn't get 20,000 at the Dome on a clear day on a Saturday afternoon.

Wow. Just wow.

When I went to find this after I saw your post, I couldn't have hoped for a better result.

There is actually no talent on that list.

Boomer Harvey - premiership player, captained his country, EJ Whitten medallist, All Australian, club captain

Adam Simpson - two time premiership player, club captain, All Australian.

Shannon Grant - premiership player, Norm Smith medallist, All Australian

Peter Bell - two time premiership player, All Australian, club captain

All four of those players have achieved more in football than every single Melbourne player since the 1960s.

Fact.

UNAVOIDABLE FACT.

Jurrah to....

Ouch!!

?? hadn't heard that one.

I still worry that he is a bit thin to withstand the physical side of the game, long term ; but no doubt he has skills to burn.

 

[SweetLeftFoot]

All the Davey/Jurrah stuff proves is that Melbourne can't identify talent.

They wait for other clubs to do it and then poach.

Piss weak club.

If I can correct you on that point : Stan Alves did play in a premiership team in 1977.

(Of course, he had to go to a proper football club in order to do so).

So what you are really saying is that you needed a top player (Alves_ from another club (the Dee's) to help secure a Premiership for you .....That's Poor


Just like you flogs had to recruit a heap of 10 year players from other clubs to get you your first Premiership.......After 50 years of pathetic results.....That's Piss Poor


But you seem to be under the illusion that you are a superior club to the Dee's...................Don't Think so



12 > 4 Last time I checked the Premiership Ladder

HAHAHAAHHHA
A MIDGET KOREAN HAS WON A KANGAROO BEST AND FAIREST

It pains me to do this to a fellow Dees supporter, but I'll have to introduce you to another midget Korean.

Jurrah to....
Ouch!!

No, we stole Jurrah from Collingwoood.

No, what I am saying is that North in the '70s was a successful club, one that a great player like Alves wanted to join once he realised that Melbourne had degenerated into a social club for a bunch of port-swilling old-school-tie types who thought they had taken control of the club when they sacked that Norm Smith chap.

There is no shame for North in the fact that we made good use of the 10-year rule back in 1974. Fact is, we were the only club that voted against it. Fact is, once it came in, we were smarter than every other club, and made use of the rule that was there. (A bit like Geelong did in recent years with the father-son rule).

You reckon '12>4' seals the argument? What if the 12 is something in the dim, dark past (pre-decimal currency, when grandad was a lad), while the 4 is something I have personally witnessed and enjoyed? Tell you what, it works for me.

Cool, we can all feel good about that.

I'm happy that it works for you


Just that the record books say the opposite

Hey, Holland and Portugal were great imperial powers, back in the day.

Have you run out of Football Logic?

Have you run out of Football Logic?

Just making the point that, for all their great success 60 or whatever years ago, for the last 35 years or more, Melbourne has pretty much been a running joke. As a North supporter, I've enjoyed more success in my life time than any Dees fan under the age of 60. Therefore I find it both baffling and amusing when some of these trolls, who are probably too young to vote, start thumping their chests about the 'mighty' Dees.

Is that too esoteric for you to follow?

 

[MAXIMUM GRUNDAGE]

I feel that our next success is not too far away. We're starting to get back on track, and a Premiership within the next 5 years isn't out of the question.
Melbourne have been rated the #1 drafters in the period since Daniher left.

Tell me, champ, how old are you?

How many times have you actually seen the Dees win a game of football?

I'm not talking premierships now ; just home&away games.

C'mon, I'm guessing it won't take long to work it out.

Does it actually get to double figures?

Now THAT is laughable.
