One of my favourite missives of yours was something like

"been eating a lot of this rice stuff-any nutritional value in it?'

I wanted to reply

"No you imbecile ,3 billion people have been faking it just to suck you in".

But I thought better of it .

hahaha i remember that day well. I needed potato very badly..

Now that the thread has been found, I've merged the reincarnated thread with the original and we can call off the lynch mob.

Thanks Nasher for your intrepid detective work in finding it even though, with its resurrection, the quality of this site is irrevocably damaged.

Just to get this thread back on a serious note, here's the Monty Python dead parrot scene which I dedicate to our recently departed thread:-

And just like the forementioned parrot, this thread wouldnt zroom if you put 400,000 volts through it.

20,000 d/landers are now coming out of therapy

Not worried about Finkelstein QC. I had Caro's people at Fairfax Media legal everything I wrote before I posted.

Well you should be, because the Age has defamed us several times despite their legal vetting.

Well good news

I have not been on for a couple of days

And just discovered the mighty thread is back.

Can December get any better.

Bananas all round I say!

Waiting for the spotlight to go back on us over the tanking inquisition.

A certainty I would think Redleg.

I think a lot of it heat has gone out of it now the draft has come and gone. The whinging 'aged' one was baying and lobbying for us to be hit with sanctions. More to the point in time for this years picking to be dented. It didnt transpire. I think the AFL has its agenda...and its timeline. I cant see us getting whacked now.

True, I was worried we would have everything thrown at us - kitchen sink and all - because of what happened to Carlton who were made an example of with salary cap breaching.

With most of the focus being on Adelaide/Tippett, the draft over and the latest ruling on Adelaide I have a good feeling about all of this.

... However I'm sure Caro can conjure up some she-devil magic and write some more bullsh1t

bb the "aged" one was asking questions about this sorry episode at the Adelaide press conference on Friday

She is far from finished on this subject.

I think the result from the AFL might come soon, from their view point best to get all this negative crap out of the way before Christmas

then 2013 can start with positive football stories.

I reckon we are going to cop a sanction.

Absolute guess. No first round pick in 2013.

Added the following from the President's latest report today.

"Finally, the AFL investigation continues. As I have stated previously, we will not comment until the investigation is complete, but I can assure you we will use every resource available to us to defend the integrity of the Melbourne Football Club in the strongest possible way."

That looks interesting, I wonder to what length we would go to?

Makes my heart glow

That would mean we would have to be found guilty of tanking old dee, for a sanction. It would also mean opening a can of worms including a lengthy legal stoush for the AFL including other clubs.

Maybe this thread should be referred to as the No Tanking, No BS thread.

That wouldn't worry me.

I am just in a relaxed position over the "inquisition" at the moment. Surely we are now into the final year or two of the "inquisition" and I can see it being over, certainly by the end of next year.

While the "inquisitors" still have to interview several boat people, the last 4 Australian Prime Ministers, Brynne Edelsten, Hamish and Andy, the South African Cricket team, Dick Smith, Kieran Perkins, Johnny Farnham, Tina Arena and Kylie Minogue, AC DC, Russell Crowe, Israel Folau, the Bananas in Pyjamas, Bindy Irwin, Hilary Clinton, Germaine Greer, Rolf Harris, Lou Richards and a host of other relevant people, it should be only a matter of time until it is concluded.

I have heard they are also examing the computer records of Microsoft and re reading the Australian Constitution to see if they have overlooked anything.

Yes it should all be finished soon.

The Hag can jump up and down; scream her self senseless ( a short journey id imagine ) and insert our name into every kindergarten pagent and shopping centre pantomime ; it wont matter didly as Andy and Adrian are determined to look the other way lest they espy her and turn to stone.

Someone ought to call the pound and taken to the Rspca. Hard on the innocents i concede.

You are correct it would mean we have been found guilty H_T

I have always though they would pin something on us.

They now need to IMO placate the likes of CW.

I am very happy to be wrong but I cannot see us getting off scot free.

Part of me wants the MFC to fight till the better end

and another part wants it too be over and if that involves a penality so be it.

The AFL doesnt wag when Kerro barks. If anything this is a bit of payback . They will all but ignore her.

This is simply the too hard basket for the AFL. Mind you they were the ones who weaved the basket in the first place. We, like many other clubs just borrowed the basket. it was after all left out for all and sundry to use.

You cant prosecute a driver if the camera is wonky. You cant penalise a club for employing a regimen based upon the Leagues own guidelines..

Salary breaches , the like of the Crows etc are clear and flagrant actions in defiance of clear cut rules. Weve done nothing of the sort. What are the rules weve supposedly broken and how did we explicitly and/or implicitly do so ? Hint...first find the rule. Good luck. ^_^

To sanction us is to ignite an explosion at the very core of the league and just watch the walls come tumbling down around the Emperor and his senators.

Call it what you like: impasse, stalemate, Mexican standoff . CW may well cry 'swindle' but i couldnt give a sh!t !! That kick of Jordan's must really irk her !! lol :lol:

That kick really irks me bb.

I went home filthy that night because we should have won.

The whole issue of trying to get extra picks annoyed me then

and still does to this minute.

2009 created a culture that exists to this day and it has not been a good one.

I hope we can banish it over the next few years

and in the future the MFC never ever again takes the field with anything less than a 100% win attitude from the players and FD.

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session.

Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date.

    BEST OF THE REST by Meggs

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9. A huge achievement in what was a dominant season by North. For Melbourne fans, the season was unfortunately one of frustration and disappointment
