Might be selling a lot of ponchos for gather round.

Might need to change the name to Huddle Round.

Not only have they felt the need to make the plastic $20 (max.) rubbish bin thief-proof, but it’s encased in thick steel, with a dirty big padlock.

They wouldn't be that high tech in St Albans dc.

au contraire uncle, standard equipment in st albans. very useful.

anyway i don't see the problem if the bin is only worth $20. council would pay >$20 every time to get it emptied. Of course this assumes the thief takes the rubbish with him and given it's st albans they probably would

I think the thief would prefer to take the rubbish truck, rather than one bin with rubbish.

No self employed, so it’s leave and door slams behind me.

So your boss is too slack to sack you and you can't be bothered quitting.  That was my excuse. Bite the bullet Red you won't regret it.

So the would-be thief would have to pop into Cashies (Cash Converters) to buy a cordless angle grinder that he probs stole the previous day and sold to Cashies. Doesn’t make sense, Daise. 

You know you’re on the Sunbury line when…

It’s not the fact that he’s using a soft drink bottle as a pillow. It’s that he’s actually asleep, comfortably, even snoring!

Blues lose and it’s a great start to the new footy weekend.

They create a new record too, the first and also, only team atm, to have lost every gather round match they have played.

Thanks for the heads up Uncle Bitters.

So quite simply the place has run amuck?

Where was that firm hand , where was the 'discipline' 

The sanity of a long suffering Melbourne supporter has always been long understood ;) You cant be long suited in all things ......

Perfect response as it wouldn't be stolen if it wasn't locked up.

I'm sure they will take the bin with them when they take the grinder back to $ converters.

  • PREVIEW: West Coast

    It was bad enough that the Melbourne Football Club created yet another humiliating scenario inside its wretched season at Marvel Stadium last Sunday, but the final insult is that it has been commanded to return to the scene of the crime to inflict further punishment on its fans this week. Incidentally, if this match preview, of a game that promises to be one of the most unattractive fixtures in the history of the game, happens to cut out of your computer screen three quarters of the way through, it’s no coincidence. I’ll be mirroring the Demons’ lacklustre effort against St Kilda from last Sunday when they conceded the largest last quarter turnaround for victory in the history of the game.

  • 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.
