Not sure if it's been noted before, but an interesting comment was made in an article on The Age website about Jac Nasser becoming chairman of BHP:

"Born in Bundaberg and a Brisbane Lions supporter, Mr Argus will hand over to Mr Nasser, a supporter of the Melbourne AFL side, early next year."

Good to have heavyweights in our corner, hope he has some involvement with the club...

    Douglas Adams still Rules. The '82 BBC Series is pure GOLD.

    The world is about to end in 3 minutes...Isn't there anything we can do to stop it, like put a paper bag over our head or something...If you like yes....Will it help....No.

    Disagree!! May well help to put a bag over our heads (or at least over Vlads for next 1 to 2 weeks). Is the answer to - How many days until we are safe regarding the PP = 42??? :wacko:

    Alternatively get the Bill Highy character to come and recreate the world circa ealr 1960's with a clone of the Red Fox as coach of MFC!!

    BTW in the AFL version Vlad and Adrian A see themselves as the mice!

    If you look closely in that scene in the pub when the world is about to end Douglas Adams is sitting at the bar. I know, it's sad that I know that.

    Yes the observing mice could well be Vlad & little anderson. Most observant pick up there.

    Lets watch how much cheese they devour between them on Brownlow night.

    I was actually pretty happy with the film. Letting Americans produce such a masterpiece was always a scary proposition. Douglas one said that getting a movie made in Hollywood was like trying to cook a steak by having a succession of people walk into a room and breath on it (or something to that effect).

    Other choice DNA quotes:

    "I love deadlines, I like the whooshing sound they make as they fly by"

    "Time is an illusion, lunchtime doubly so"

    One from Arthur himself "Ah, this is obviously some strange usage of the word 'safe' that I wasn't previously aware of."

    Pity you couldn't find a Demons scarf to go with the snappy dressing gown Arthur :lol:

    How do you not understand it?

    Don Argus was born in Bundaberg.

    He is a Lions supporter.

    He is handing over to Jac Nasser.

    Nasser is a demons' supporter.

    Not rocket science.

    Yeh i think the problem is i know for a fact Don Argus is a demon supporter so it begs the question the reporter may of got his facts wrong or written it up wrong meaning Nasser is a lions supporter?

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
