Strategy Round 1, 2014

[LeverPuller]

Hey lads,

Heading to the medallion club on Sat night because it was free. What might one wear there? The more casual the better.

IIRC its MCC rules, been years though

 

[Devastating Boris]

I guess it depends on your terminology, for me

Superstar: Ablett, Pendlebury, Selwood, Mitchell etc etc...
Gun: Nathan Jones, Bryce Gibbs, Brett Deledio, Dale Thomas etc etc.

Terlich is a foot soldier at best.

Who was the last superstar we had?
Green?yze? Stynes? Neitz? Struggling to think of 5 in the last 25 years.

 

[Sylvia Saint]

Probably one of Neita, Jimmy or Garry Lyon if you're a lenient judge and Flower if you're a harsh one.

Yeah I think at best we had like 15 guns but not many superstars.

Jesse Hogan

 

[Bluelegs]

Yze came very close to winning a Brownlow at one point.

 

[stretcharmstrong]

Game day y'all! And I'm actually excited. We should beat the saints tonight - although the ever-present fear that this side just can't win is niggling at me...

Yeah I would use gun as a throwaway term for someone who does there job well

Yze came very close to winning a Brownlow at one point.

So did Cameron Bruce, Bloody Woewodin won one but he wouldnt go into the superstar category, Farmer was probably a superstar at around the 98-02 period

 

[Topkent]

Also lads its fair to say if you add Clark and Hogan to our starting line up our Pre season fitness wise has been excellent, most guys have completed full pre seasons and guys like Grimes, Watts, Trenners Blease and Strauss have had full pre seasons so it will be interesting to see how they go

Schwarz would have the quality

Had it in the bag until Big Bad Brent came along.

[jhong]

Alan Jakovich was more a shooting star than a super star but still worth a mention.

 

[mrmonkey]

I don't think there's a Melbourne supporter that doesn't agree with this statement.

 

[RandB]

Will that loveable whore with a heart of gold be opening the game day thread tonight or has he permanently gone AWOL after that 2 week ban he copped in January?

I was fine with jeans and a tshirt with a guernsey over the top. I wore runners too.

I wondered the same thing for the corporate box, but I'm going wearing the same as I wore to the medallion club.

 

[ponsdale]

FIRE UP Demons.

He's leaving his run pretty bloody late

 

[raven echo]

I'm shocked to see we are on the tv in prime time

Riding the 'Roos wave of excitement' early in the season.

 

[raven echo]

Riding the 'Roos wave of excitement' early in the season.

Getting on the bandwagon nice and early

 

[Jordie_tackles]

Lots of dees supporters on the train from Geelong, only seen two saints also

 

[CM Sean]

 

[Cannon82]

Not an enjoyable evening at the pub. We didn't look like working our way back into that game.
