I'm enjoying myself down at sunny Paynesville, thanks CQS. I do enjoy our little stoushes. Always interesting, if nothing else. Sorry about the crack about your intelligence being on a par with common cold. That was an unecessarily low blow. I started this latest series of posts with one about thing...

Who looks after our development? How much time & energy does the club put into not only making the draftees feel comfortable but also helping them grow as footballers and people? What systems and structures do we have in place? As a supporter base we tend to blame "bad luck" on most o...

Make Billy Longer captain.

Facts are NO other coach in our modern history has EVER developed a feared, dominating side like Lyon did. He commands respect and yes has a ton of mongrel and I think that Street brawling mongrelmis sadly now what we lack I still think for Lyon to be a “great” coach (apart from flags) he needs to ...

No footy journo writes articles without a motive... He might be accurate, but he should be writing the same stuff about his beloved Bulldogs! They stunk last season and have been non-competitive in their two this season. Rumours of in fighting and a lingering cultural issue. They won 2 more games t...

I don't know how many on here have been challenged to put their resumes up, but why doesn't common cold put his up? Did he wear the jumper? Hahahahaha. Maybe in a dream. During kick to kick, or maybe he's one of those unfortunate adults who still wears a club jumper with a number on it to the footy....

We can always console ourselves with the fact our yearly marquee game is The Blue Oyster Club cup. A blockbuster that lost us money. i think a production of Betty Blockbuster reprising the role Reg Livermore made famous would've drawn a bigger crowd. Would've been more entertaining as well.

Plenty have done poorly on the psych tests and have gone on to great careers. What would you do if a young Wane Carey, Tony Lockkett or Nathan Fyfe tested poorly? Would you pick them on demonstrated ability? It depends on exactly what you are testing for, the strength of the test, its validity etc. ...

Agreed, Saynta. I don't for a minute believe he's not trying his best. It's just his best is nowhere near good enough. He wouldn't cut his nose off to spite his face. My initial lack of respect comes from his behaviour I witnessed when I went to an Essendon pleasant Sunday morning at Windy Hill in ...

I did post why a number of weeks ago and was howled down by the usual blue sky specialists. At the time I said the team was playing as though there was a malaise affecting the whole club. It coincided with Roo being cooked and injured in the last seven games of last year. Despite the protestations ...

Another marvellous contribution. Firstly, you don't know what I know. Secondly, this is the last time I'll respond to you as you lack the intelligence and common decency to have a reasonable argument. If you want to abuse me, send me a PM, but stop clogging the forum with your drivel. Didn't you rea...

It was a joke. I've posted plenty of positive things about the club, it's just there is a crisis that I could see coming at the end of last year. I would like nothing more than the team to turn it around and succeed. That's why we support the club, cough up membership money and donations year after ...

Carlton got flogged today. Cheer up. This is good. :D Indeed. The filth and the dopers lost as well. Had we won our game it would've been the perfect weekend. Alas, I'll have to satisfy myself with a bit of Schadenfreude. Lyon vs Drug cheats... North Korea vs Hitler's Germany! Easy on the compariso...

tony74 agreed with one poster on here, that the players didn't execute the game plan. Don't laugh, there probably is a game plan, just like Elon Musk has a plan to send astronauts to Mars; I think Musk will get there before our geniuses get another cup in the bloody cabinet.. There's a poll in this...

Only McCartin out there today and he was disgraceful again. Dropped marks, fumbles, missed easy set shots and a complete inability or desire to chase. Did anyone see how pathetic his second efforts and chasing were? Team mates would've been disheartened at his apparent lack of effort. Maybe he just...

My initial lack of respect comes from his behaviour I witnessed when I went to an Essendon pleasant Sunday morning at Windy Hill in e...

R U OK? Bookmark this one. McCartin can't make it. Not tall. Not fit. Slow. Not that strong. Immobile. No agility. No ground game. Average kick. No awareness. Anyway back to Paddy. I think he can make it … which one dude? Obviously the second option. Paddy can make it. As a cigar store Indian or as...

Trout never liked StKilda and year after year he proves it. This. A Sheedy and Pagan acolyte and protege. Both held St.Kilda in absolute contempt. You can't tell me some of it didn't rub off. Rubbish!!!!! Another stunning insight from common cold. How would you know? Stick to what you know best. Hi...

I forgot to mention our "leaders" pathetic response to the Murphy sledging incident. It was a typically spineless display from Finnis, Summers and TMBK. I know one player who couldn't believe our response was so weak. It did upset the playing group which took a couple of weeks to recover. ...

Hey, SC. why don't you rock up to training and tell Tom Hickey how terrible he is and that he's cooked. And call him Hickledick to his face and tell him how bad a player he is. Or give him the ultimate insult and tell him he's worse than Billy. That would really sting and would probably hurt him mor...

Excuse me SC, but what do posters' footy resumes have to do with the performance put up yesterday? I admire your loyal defence of Billy, but it seems obvious to everyone on this forum and many in the media that he's simply not good enough and never will be. It seems you're in denial about that. If h...

bit poor to have cody in that presser - soften the media, deflect. Agreed, desertsaint. That was one of the most inappropriate and ridiculous things I've seen. Cowardly, in fact. Hide behind a poor sick kid and use up three minutes of an eight minute presser asking the poor boy stupid questions. TM...
