As much as I would like to boo cheats.com.au I wouldn't, though if I had a chance to vomit on them, I would  ;D

I remember Essendon supporters waving wooden spoons at us at the MCG back when we first hit bottom, I was dumbfounded to think that large numbers of adults had purchased these items and carried them to the ground with the intention of belittling the supporters and members of a rival football club.
They only belittled their own club, which is what our own supporters do whenever they boo Dale Thomas.

Congratulations Cam Polson on a well deserved debut.
Wear the Navy Blue with pride and passion.
Can't wait to see Cam in action with the baby Blues.
Do us proud.

All the best to Flippa on his return from LTI.

Go Blues

I have no words for this. Shame on these people :o

I was at that game. Just another reinforcement of my hatred of those ferals.

I really only ever boo the umps if they make a real howler, and some opposition players in extreme situations, e.g. I did loudly boo Milburn off the ground when he pole-axed SOS back in 2001.

Port backline looks a bit small and rubbery.....unlike their centre and half forward line.....Gray and Wingard are ultra dangerous for us, we are very slow learners with players who are repeat game winners, hope Bolton has some plans for these two and not the same players who get burnt on them like in previous games.
Aaron Young is another underestimated player who needs a tight tag, gets too many easy goals...

Spot on EB. IMO, we dont need to do alot wrong to throw it away, but if we play with intensity and stick to a plan, we can win, I simply dont rate Port. They hit their straps a fews years ago and I dont think they will get any better.
Our last 20 games against them read as follows

LLLDLLWLWWWWWLWWLLWW

Bookies are offering $7.50, I'd like a piece of that.

The elephant in the room being ignored.

Etihad stadium

Kreuzer and Daisy have been fine in terms of condition but one match there and neither are available the following week.

In any case good luck to Phillips and Polson.

His name was Cameron polson.
