Next, Shorten. Remember that time the old scallywag knocked up one of his staffers, while he was married. I should have become a politician. Even the ugly, nerdy ones get a heap of action.

Now that is controversial.

    An old country preacher has a teenage son, and as it is gittin’ time for him to choose a profession, the old man decides to try an experiment. While he’s at school, he goes into his room and places on the bed, a bible, a $20 note, a bottle of whiskey, a copy of Penthouse.   “I'll just hide behind the door and see which object he picks up. If it's the Bible, he's going to be a preacher like me. If he picks up the dollar, he's going to be a businessman. But if he picks up the bottle, he's going to be a no-good drunken bum! And worst of all, if he picks up the magazine, he'll be a womaniser all his life!". The old man waits anxiously, and soon hears his son's footsteps as he enters the house and heads for his room. The boy throws his bag by the door, and as he turns to leave the room spots the objects on the be bed. First, he picks up the Bible and without reading a word places it under his arm. Then he picks up the $20 note and tucks it quickly into his his pocket, before uncorking the bottle to have a massive swig . . . even while settling down to ogle the magazine’s centerfold.
    “Lord have mercy,” the old preacher disgustedly whispers, “He's gonna run for Parliament, and will probably end up leading the Nats!"

    Can you explain that one please Moonshadow.

    Is it a moral tale?

    What some clubs have is that superstar like Danger, Selwood, Dusty and Pendles who can drag a team over the line. I know they are few and hard to find. We have developed a very good list and it would be even better if say Trac or Jack V could elevate their game to that level.

    I know a champion team will always beat a team of champions or so they say, but it wouldn't hurt if we could develop/ find one or two. 

    Max is probably our best at the moment and most valuable player.

    Not sure I agree with your last line Mr. leg.

    He did not show that in 2017.

    Also in today's AFL I am not sure a Ruckman can be that sort of player.

    I think T Mac has the potential. He did it in that game in WA against the Eagles.

    The wife and kid are away tonight and I haven’t had takeaway for months. I’m thinking of going a little stupid on Uber eats, any suggestions? 

    Early nominations are a McDonalds family dinner box followed by Churros for two from San Churros. The Churros come with sliced banana which is a bonus.

    Oh you are a wild one Ethan!

    I would've gone a rare beef phò from the local, or perhaps a little hipster veg curry, extra pappadams 

    BBO might have ordered wild game caught withing the expansive grounds of the manor

    Biffen would invade the local KFC going from table to table looking for fly blown leftovers

    The Earl would Uber fish and chips from Donovans in Sydney, even though he's in Upper Fitzroy

    W Jack and Red would pick up take away from Wongs, because this new fangled thing called Uber eats is beyond them

    Daisy would eat leftover pureed meat and 3 veg from the Borewood nursing home

    It was sliced well. It cut through the 16 sticks of Churros quite nicely.

    Clever Moon.  Wondering if this was a re-hashed lampoon.  An old Labor leader / PM comes to mind also ?

    Nice work Moonie, but you left out Old Dee and Beelzebub fighting over the last banana fritter ... :D And jazza, bless his memory, would have an inch-thick steak with produce grown on his own farm.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

    • REPORT: Sydney

      A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

    • POSTGAME: Sydney

      The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.

    • CASEY: Northern Bullants

      The Casey Demons travelled to a windy Cramer Street, Preston yesterday and blew the Northern Bullants off the ground for three quarters before shutting up shop in the final term, coasting to a much-needed 71-point victory after leading by almost 15 goals at one stage. It was a pleasing performance that revived the Demons’ prospects for the 2025 season but, at the same time, very little can be taken from the game because of the weak opposition. These days, the Bullants are little more than road kill. The once proud club, situated behind the Preston Market in a now culturally diverse area, is currently facing significant financial and on-field challenges, having failed to secure a win to date in 2025.
