Could this prove to be a transition as decisive and irreversible as the 'facial hair -> no facial hair' prime ministerial eras?

Nice one, Goffy (Goughy?) Erudite!

Putting aside our clean faced (though gloriously topped!) opener, Edmund Barton, the latter, and still pertinent, era was kicked off by none other than our Stanley Melbourne Bruce.

    Aye, don't you be loosely mentioning the illiterate branch of the clan around here.

    My parents moved to Canberra in the 70s. My dad was a journo. Can you imagine how hard it was to book a taxi for 'Goff' to pick up from Parliament House late at night?

    Tough times, we thought we'd had enough, although we ploughed through the trough until the big fella was given his rough furlough.

    Ugh.

    There's gotta be some sort of prize for that para and 'full stop'! Its certainly a '10' (if I've counted correctly 😉) 👏

    Waddayareckon @Demonstone?

     

    I arrived as the big fella's nemesis was in turn realising primeministership wasn't meant to be easy, then saw out Bob's heady first couple of terms there.

    Having just ready the past 2 pages I can only conclude that Round 0 cannot come soon enough.

    Perhaps you want to re think that!

    What's there to get? BBO is whoreganizing another orgy? Old news. Escargots straight from the field of the Manor would have been much more interesting...You can guess my age: the days of whine, women and song are way past. I'm deaf for a start and a victim of God's even-handed justice. In other words, Muslim men might get down on their knees to praise Allah for not making them a 'woman', but older men - alte kakkers like me - pray every day to maybe be able to pass 'water' straight into its bowl instead of its perimeter just once, for old times' sake...

    Found this hilarious.

    Tom Morris on the Furnace on Channel 9 said he wouldn’t do the Lions Las Vegas trip story as there is no proof it has affected their performance.

    Seriously, when we look back at his reporting.

    The Dees have been copping it in the media for 2.5 years, with no proof anything said has hurt our performances.

    It's because we are the biggest threat in the Afl to other teams.

    We are a force others are scared of.

    Would Eagles hanging on and beating Swans be the biggest upset of the year, including the rest of the season?

    I can relate, but at least with titanium and ceramic I can walk around and stand as tall as I can. Other things. I wish I had a cowboy hat instead of cowboy boots !

    A warning to all of you wonderful people and good friends.

    A disgustingly named thread has been started on DL.

    It names the unnamed villain of this thread.

    Please for your own mental health and well being don’t visit it.

    I am shocked the mods have allowed this offensive thread to be started and continued.

    I think it is particularly scurrilous that they have bypassed the auto-censors by changing one letter to a symbol.

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?
