I hope he was told by the AFL or producers to jump around fist pumping and high fives as his family and friends jump all over him. And Geordie just went, "Fudge that. I'm ready to play some bloody footy." Exactly the attitude we need.

Shoulda drafted her. Seriously. The dude has known for a week we'd pick him. All we found out tonight is that he's not a very good actor.

In a crap shoot we just get the crap - Hansen, Edwards and Hosie had/have no place on an AFL list. Kal Dawson remains a 'wait and see.'

* have beaten 4th, 11th, 13th 14th, 15th, 16th, 17th and 18th. They've lost to 1st and 3rd. And their % is still only just above 100. They get no praise from me. If you want someone to bag an opposition team here goes. St.Kilda's effort in the second half today has been pathetic. These blokes...

As far as true statements go, this isn't one of them. Our list is the pits.

Telling that almost every game this year has followed the same plot. We start OKish without ever calling the shots. The other mob lift for 30-40 minutes whilst we shit the bed and then when it's too late we stem the damage a bit with a junk last quarter. It's like we start in second gear, drop...

Hawthorn are the team I was hoping we'd be this year. Genuinely ordinary, cop the odd belting, but beating other bottom feeders and occasionally giving better teams a fright. Instead, the other bottom sides beat us by 6-8 goals and the better ones by 10-12.

Spot on. Our "aggressive reset" had all the subtlety and cunning of throwing cash at everyone and when that didn't work it was going to the draft with just the picks we earned for being rubbish. Then, when that failed to yield instant results it was to clog the list with Polec, Tyson, Pittard...

I'm guessing the thinking doesn't extend too far past - they're OK, they come cheapish, don't want to risk passing on them and they come good elsewhere, let's keep some mates happy.

Depends which ones. AFAIK Euge has nothing directly to do with this current shitshow. He's as frustrated about what we've become as the rest of us.

Dot worked in a bread shop in Parkdale with my Mum. Through that I spent most days/nights in the 90s at the footy sitting with Dot, her friends and their family. Name any memorable day from 1992-97 for NMFC and I was probably sitting next to Dot during it - including the 1996 Grand Final. We...

"We just want to get to 12 wins" says Brad. And whaddya know? We got to 12 wins. Doofus.

I see were the only team this year not to have a goalless quarter. Every other club must wish they were us.

I'm getting the Jared Petrenko type of shudders after that game.
