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 .

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

    Disgraceful slander of a magnificent thread WJ, I will be speaking to Finkelstein QC on monday.

    Thanks Nasher, for bringing back the thread. So many peoples' lives have now been enriched again.

    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

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

    If we draft that Hannath as rumoured, we must surely be one of the tallest clubs in the AFL.

    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.

    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.

    • CASEY: Geelong

      There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

    • REPORT: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
