[MFKS]

Am absolutely chuffed I am wasting my weekend to go watch this tripe

Stubbins better be on the flight home Sunday to make it worthwhile

[Nou Camp]

Gallagher to start as lone striker and will take throw ins, free kicks, goal kicks, corners
why? coz daddy said so

[Thomas477]

Member, giving the big ones to Newy's enemies since June 2014.

Stubbins better be on the flight home Sunday to make it worthwhile

He is probably flying straight to Adelaide....he has to score considering his players don't !!!

Strange you should say that.

Last time I came home from Heart away the team was on the flight with me at 8pm that night after the game.

Stubbins was a notable absentee.

I assumed he had ****ed off to Adelaide to get his leg over

What flights are you on?

[MFKS]

What flights are you on?

Going down at 8:20am Saturday

Come back 11:45am Sunday

[MFKS]

Looking at going to some local football on the Saturday to kill time.

FFA Cup is on with a pile of 2pm kick offs across town which would be a cheaper day than spending it in the pub/casino

[Chadandkira12]

Going down at 8:20am Saturday

Come back 11:45am Sunday

So are we and we are doing the mcg tour when we get there and then might head over to the ffa cup

[MFKS]

So are we and we are doing the mcg tour when we get there and then might head over to the ffa cup

Make sure you also check out the Sports Museum there as well then. You get reduced rate with the tour.

Lot of interesting stuff in there. Big Issue is that GAYFL has far too big of an area in there. Compare it to the amount of space football gets just to see how unbalanced it is.

Hopefully the tour with the cricket WC on isn't scaled back with areas off limits.

I done it a few years ago on the morning after Australia played an ODI there the night before and we had some places we had to miss out on because of it

[Chadandkira12]

Yeah we are doing the museum as well and checked there's no cricket of afl on at all so should see the whole place

[MFKS]

**** Stubbins has the chance to achieve something tomorrow.

A draw will get these ****s off the bottom of the table.

The ego will be huge if we actually start Moving Forward

[lquiquer]

That Poppa fellow is starting to seriously pissing me off

[Jetmaster]

Really hope Kew scores today and does an Andy Roberts run towards the bench.

[stopper2]

That Poppa fellow is starting to seriously pissing me off

Poppa's career is following in GVE's path. Two fantastic seasons to start off his coaching career, followed by a terrible one. Back in 2008 GVE was touted as the pick of the young coaches plying their trade but as we all know his career has been downhill ever since. Will be interesting to see if Poppa can bounce back after this season.

ja.

Foz meetup

[belchardo]

Well, it appears we've been put in our place tonight. Game starts at half 7 according to everything I can find, but coverage doesn't start till 8. Finishes at half 9, so it appears we're getting a delayed telecast. Turds at fox are still claiming it is "live" though.

[The Dunster]

I'd like to see Kew and Connor show Stubbins how ****ing useless he is when it comes to judging talent.
Nothing against the current Newcastle players but my dislike for all things Tinkler and Stubbins is a powerful force.
