Rainbow paper Ernest my God you are old. Not sure there are more than two of us who know what you are talking about.

Old and proud OD. 

But as they say your only as old as you feel, although my creaky bones, dust and shroud suggest otherwise. But the spirit is strong.

    I think the original joke was, in Parliament a Cabinet Minister stood and said " I am a country member" and a voice from the opposition benches yelled out " yes we remember".

    We used to say this about Doug Anthony if anyone remembers.

    That voice was none other than Edward Gough Whitlam. 

    The same man who, when asked by an annoying journalist about his position on abortion, replied, "In your case, I believe it should be retrospective."

    Ernie is beyond old od he's dead. And good luck to him.

    However, I also know what rainbow paper is. FMD, is there any benefit in this aging process?

    I have yet to discover one Bbo. But as my wife constantly reminds me ageing is better than the alternative.

    That’s a matter of opinion.

    Moon, are you telling me that Bitter But Bent actually exists in a recognizable form ?

    Just assumed that he was an insecure little man with big man complex seeking reassurance, a sense of identity and a purpose in an otherwise sad existence in rural Romsey .

    You mean he is not a little guy in hat, glasses, gaberdine overcoat and a kit bag with cut lunch in rainbow paper ? 

    I must admit Ernie, that I have found a gaberdine overcoat a useful accessory when out strolling in the park.

    You suppose I am a ghost, however remember that all the main religions believe in some form of afterlife whether it be spiritual, the separation of body from soul, or the on-going cycle of death and rebirth. Of course the details vary but the essential elements remain the same whether it be early Yiddish teachings, Vedic (Hinduism) philosophy, Christian theology or  Islamic teachings. That is the explanation of why I have returned in a form that allows me to watch footy and write on this site. 

    Philistines, boors, oafs, ignoramuses, louts, yahoos, hoons, vulgarians, plebeians, atheists, sceptics, heathens, beasts, brutes, peasants fail to understand these deep issues.  

    That excludes you OD but perhaps not some notable posters on this thread who are concerned with their vanity and matters of the flesh.  Short term pleasures but forever condemned to hell, a rabid dog scouring the gutters of Mumbai looking for scraps. 

    Hineni, Hallelujah, Samsara OD.

    I'm busted.

    As a youthful peasant, with vulgar, loutish  tendencies, veering into oafish boorish and ignorant behaviour, my scepticism leading me to atheism, I gathered together with a bunch of heathen brutes to form the Plebians and wrest the Traralgon basketball title from the reigning elites.

    One of my esteemed number was Bernie Quinlan.

     

    Aah those were the days, short term pleasures indeed. I still recount that I played with two browlowmedalists having also played tennis with Kelvin Templeton.

    Gough was known to refuse door stop interviews (apart from his last one ).

    When a young lady tried to ask him a question on the street she got;

    "Madam, I, try to avoid speaking to strange ladies on the street".

    Would you prefer the attention seeking, Christian lead, 2 x left footed ScoMo? Give me an atheist PM any day.

    Having said that, we could do with a few more left footers in our team

    Very close. Something winds back to an old fashioned shack.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
