Just when you thought David Mundy couldn't be an even better bloke after helping sink the crows.

Mundy - Great footballer and great bloke.

Also Mundy - “****. We have a supporter outside WA? I’ve got to get my photo with that kid”

 

[powermacs]

I don’t remember him being so averse to physical contact

He wasn’t and that’s what made him a two time AA. He will hardly even fly for a Mark now, doesn’t want to land on his head.

Rory Riley 50 possessions
Percentage over 200
Top of the ladder

That’s what I got told would happen.

I did laugh when Rory Lobb and Riley O’Brien were rucking together and the ump kept yelling out “Rory Riley”

Ziebell with 38 touches, 33 kicks and 946 metres gained playing off half-back. Our 'defensive' forwards are literally useless when you're getting torched this badly.

geelong are ******* cooked lmao

imagine getting torched by the corpse of fat ziebell

Knowing Geelong, they'll make a big play to recruit Ziebell next season.

In five years time they'll probably send over another contingent to try and recruit Boaky

Joke's on them, he'll only have about three or four years left in him by then.

Will be a black day this ANZAC Day. Probably should let both teams wear black shorts and black socks.

 

[Doctor Feel]

Is that fur on the collingwood jumper?

So Collingwood are Black and Grey now. Another perceived, or created, barrier removed.

Its supposed to be rosemary, which grows wild/naturally around Gallipoli. Lot of veterans wear a sprig of rosemary in their lapel when they march.

Seriously, why isn't that Collingwood one inverted.
It would look so much more like a Collingwood guernsey and provide a better clash against Essendon.

Their shift towards predominantly black is at the crux of our guernsey issues.

 

[Alberton Proud]

I really like both Anzac designs but shouldn't be black v black

On jumpers, love the Grey Away BIB that we wore Sat Night

Closest to the PB and a solid tough looking colour combo

We joke about this, but I'm fully expecting it to happen. Advanced age + tired of playing for a perpetually sh*t team is the perfect storm which leads to a move to Geelong.

 

[Visenfest]

Yes. Made using a blend of mink and locks of Chris Mayne's hair.

Just looked at the '02 draft. Me so sad seeing Mackie passed up for Salopek

My memory is a bit dim but I reckon Mackie was seen as a bit of a reach at the time.
I was very happy to get Sal

 

[Frank Hansen II]

Is that real, or just an urban legend?

I thought it was more the assumption everyone made when they heard of the amount of interest and the offer from Collingwood.

 

[backtozero]

Looks like someone has used the cat hair roller in a vertical direction.

Mackie was a noodle-armed accoutrement who thrived in a bulldozing dynasty.

If we drafted him he’d have probably maxed out as a more consistent Cam O’Shea, while if Salopek ended up at the Cattery he probably retires with a couple of AA guernseys at a minimum. Just always seemed to cop a weird injury/illness at the worst possible time, usually when he was looking a million bucks.

Having him as a fit, healthy,
experienced 28-29yo mid in that 2013/14 side would’ve been rather handy.

David King - I've got Richmond , Bulldogs and then Port and Melbourne for the flag right now. I just don't trust port to beat Richmond. Then said imagine if Melbourne or the dogs beat Richmond we'll have a new favourite.

Did he not watch the game a fortnight ago when we beat them with nobody on the bench?

I'm sick of this ESPN try hard

At last, I am performing like Buddy Franklin!

Probably the same top 3 and order that I have right now. Don't think Melbourne or the Dogs beating Richmond would shift that either.

In fact I'd have Wet Toast over the Dees as well, and even Sydney would be at a very similar level to Melbourne. Melbourne simply haven't beaten a good, in form team yet. If they beat Richmond next week I'd move them in to fourth.

I'm not 100% sold on Bulldogs yet. They have thrashed easy beats. We've seen this before and then when it comes to the top sides, these sort of teams lose.

Richmond are #1 due to proven track record
2. Sydney. They've had solid wins and against some good sides.
3. Port/Melbourne/West Coast. I think they're more even than people think.
