More relevant than Essendope, it got moved but voted back again!!!!!

I think any game that affects our ladder position and any hawks game this year are highly relevant and should be able to be included on the main forum.

Well, that is my opinion.

Amazing what can happen when you drop a few old hack 'foot soldiers' and back your youth.

RSVP what?

You want to play with me, against me?

You realise it's a team sport, are you going to ask the coach that you wander in to the club of, and say I am here to play against a guy who I believe doesn't like Paddy McCartin on an anonymous fan forum.

That coach is going to think you are a complete moron!

Anyway, If you're such a player... shouldn't you be playing?

Then are you going to ask if you can line up against me?? And what, teach me a lesson?? Show me how it's done?? Again, how the hell are you going to know who I would be... or who I play for... because I sure as s*** won't tell you, you stalk me on here, wtf would you do if you knew me.
It's forum, I don't want to know you...

And even if this all comes to fruition
And you beat a 43yo and get a kick.. then what, put it in your trophy cabinet? Come on SS and gloat, like really?

Thing is buddy, I've played too long, and in my prime at a good enough level, not to be too worried about opposition players or be intimidated by hero threats. Played with and against ex AFL players, played with guys on Saintsational!
I love my footy, love all sport, that's why I was a PE Teacher for 15 odd years.... and I have no problem with saying I have been ok

So a grudge match against some weird bloke who won't leave me alone on the internet because I expressed (common) disappointment at our #1 dps output at this stage.... really doesn't interest me, or will add to the fullness of my achievements.
My career was done 8 - 10 years ago, now I just play to have fun and get a kick.

If you wanna know if I can play or not, a few of the old SS guys probably had a kick with me years back? Ask them??
I don't remember you ever having a kick?

Not buying it. Milne was stuck in Lyon's ultra-defensive, low scoring side.

If he'd been playing for Adelaide right now he'd be kicking six every week.

Was watching this game and thought in the second quarter that Melbourne looked a tad cocky and Watts was going his normal half pace and waiting for cheap kicks. Then the siren rang and I watched as Melbourne ran around the boundary line to get off the ground as they lapped up the applause. I thought to myself hmmm look out they think they have this in the bag. Then they showed the rooms at half time and the melbourne players were sitting in nice deck chairs talking to their coaches. Freo were stretching on the floor. I had a funny feeling. Then we saw what happened in the third quarter.

Melbourne still love to drink their own bath water. Jack Watts is so full of himself it isnt funny. I was so happy that they lost. I thought they would beat us being the first game of the year and that they would be really up for that game with a full list of fit players. However they still go into matches thinking they have it won.

Milne would probably kick more goals consistently, but some of the things betts does just defy logic. Both are at least three times the player Rioli is

Where are all the lyonologists?

In all seriousness, we want Melb to lose to create spots in the 8, but Freo winning makes Fyfe staying more and more easier...

Strike me pink. Both sides 2-2.

Melbourne are SO beatable at the G.

Great news for us, given our start.

Milne's primary role was always blocking for Gehrig and Riewoldt, goal kicking was only a sideline.
When have you ever seen Betts block for a tall forward.
Just selfish. All about Eddie for the cameras.
If Eddie copped half the abuse Milne did, Eddie would a curled up crying in the football bag behind the goals.

Rioli plays well in finals - and wins Grand Finals off his own boot - when most small forwards disappear.
But I prefer Milne during the Home and Away season.

Eddie cops plenty of abuse, he only addresses it because the media get hold of it. Yep didnt he just roll up in a ball, how many did he kick last night? Thats what I like about him, he gets on with things. He never brings it to light, its the media that does. He is an amazing player, and I love how he goes about life outside football, just loves his kids, I wish we had him.

I don't understand why anyone would have a negative word against Eddie.
I just don't get it at all.
Tracking for 600 career goals.
Entertainer.
Great bloke off field.
Takes hangers. Kicks goals from everywhere.
Excitement machine.
If you don't like Eddie you must be very miserable.
