My God DF who would want to live for 117 years? Certainly not me, figure I have 7-8 left trying to enjoy that lot irrespective of the MFC.

So should we do a poll?

Would 8 premierships in the next 8 years cause OD to:

a) get a new lease on life and live for the next 15-20 years?

b) see the first 3 cups, then get palpitations from all the excitement (regardless of the lack of a social club) and happily turn his toes up, with an enigmatic and everlasting smile on his face?

c) live out whatever timeline is destined, regardless of MFC successes?

Looks like the best option to me Ernest. That is actually what I am doing, MFC is an enjoyable part of my life but nowhere  near the top of my enjoyment lot.

When it comes to life span bjDee what we desire and what we get is usually different. A bit like following the MFC. I only want to live as long as I have a reasonable quality. If that is 8 years so be it if it is 20 than great as long as I can get around under my own steam.

Very balanced OD.

I feel the same way, although if MFC enjoys a sustained period of success and wins a flag, this may change!

I now have moderate desire where the MFC is concerned. I have already settled for a "sustained period of success" Ernest. If a flag comes along well and good but it is not compulsory to me any longer.

Hopped in the lift at work with Junior and in came Adem Yze. Had a little chat and told him that IMO he was one of the great hbf's of the Dees. Brought a smile to his face and a very humble thank you.

For the first time in years, I’m really looking forward to the season with vigourious enthusiasm. I can’t wait to see how well our boys will do this year

Can we get off the morbid talk of death guys and discuss something uplifting like bananas.

It is not always morbid Mr. Leg. As for bananas Just finished a lovely banana and peanut butter sandwich. Very nice even if the price of the noble fruit is rising.

Surely it is poor decision making not will power. Oh did you add to your waist line on your latest sojourn?

Well it was a great start to your 117 years, however the past 54 years had not been so good.

Keep drinking Biff's magic potions, its appears to be working for you.

No hosanna in excelsis for you Red ?

If Dusty can develop a spiritual life there is hope for all of us. 

Certainly nothing spiritual about a banana, only sense gratification.

West Perth FC was close to death last year. 2019 is looking good.

My  waistline always increases after a holiday. Luckily this time it was only a small increase. Then again it was pretty big to begin with.

Well the big thing to come out of this pre season was the lack of face painters at family day. 

With 1000’s turning up to have one face painter for all the kids was a joke. 

If we want to be a premiership side we have to address this issue.

I'm microwaving my membership card Red. What a disgrace!

Next year after we win the flag!

Disappointing long weekend in the end. Jane Bunn was Moomba Queen and no Banana float in the parade. Terrible!
