No phone call yet. Can't believe it. I am ready to preside.

Wonder if Watts gets a recall. Casey really need Pedersen and Byrnes this week and for the rest of the year. I would be happy if anyone else played for us instead, other than Gillies.

you've had 49 years of practice in waiting, shouldn't be too hard

Averaging 11 possies this year at 60% effectiveness. About $9k a possie. Hope its worse from hereon.

Appreciate the thought H_T but given the bagging that our last half a dozen CEO's have received from the media and the public, I'm going to suggest that the club appoints a popular figure for the position who would be completely beyond criticism and who the usual suspects would think twice about before any back stabbing.

I'm nominating Black Caviar for CEO.

If you travelled North of the border into NSW there were plenty of critics at Randwick last Saturday.

Now they are all salmon and black fans, thanks to BC spanking the best they had to offer. Has to travel overseas again to find any competition.

And Gerard Whateley should be seriously contemplating a new book for BC.

I am currently reading his first one on her.

If Gerard writes in any way like he speaks, you will save yourself a fortune on Valium.

On sporting books, just dug out "Knights in Muddy Armour". Bloody star. Sorry, little off topic.

There is no topic here,must you be reminded.

Phil Edmonds wife wrote a cracking tome.

But never will I forget 'How to Hypnotize chickens and other tales".

Max Walker must be the greatest novelist to have worn the red and blue.

Don't forget Max hails from Tassie, the same neck of the woods as Martin Flanagan. Must be something in the water down there ... (or maybe they just have double the brain cells :blink: )

Can what Max writes really be described as "novels"?

Well, it is not 'The Aeneid' either ... :)

Black Caviar has retired unbeaten in 25 starts. What a horse? I will continue reading the Whately book on her.

It's a great record Redleg. Absolute freak of a horse.

What isn't a great stat is that Black Caviar had more wins in it's racing career than Melbournefc had wins.

We were all lucky to be able to see her run. May never see another like her. She is the female Frankel. Imagine the offspring value of a mating between those two. The Sheikhs would pay an oilwell.

You could be onto something there ... a bit more like Aenid Blyton than Roman epic poetry.

I have read 'The Magic Faraway Tree' to my kids, but I can't imagine doing that with 'How to hypnotise chooks ...'

Probably not dissimilar to that of Frances Edmonds next one.

"The trials and tribulations of the born to rule exploiting the Congo" .

Never mind Redleg .Plough through.

My thoughts on Black Caviar are coloured by her advantages in life ,rather than the hardships she ever endured ,which were very few.

Like reading a book titled "Paris Hilton-My Struggle".

A real page shutter.

Every accolade makes Sheedy wealthier ,which is the really sad part for me .

I'd read it, but I'm worried that there'd be too much sex in the book (it being written by Gerard Whately and all).

i hear black caviar has been on the james hird juice. of course, about as much credibility here as north korean news

Now that she's retired, she has plenty of time for the CEO gig and furthermore, would make a great running partner for Redleg.

I believe this is the big announcement that's going to be made at the club tomorrow. Redleg for Chairman and BC for CEO.

There I've beaten Caro for the scoop of the week!

It may be BC, but sadly it won't be me as I haven't been contacted yet . Maybe they will appoint me without speaking to me as they know I would be excellent in the role.

Obtaining the offspring of Frankel-Black Caviar could start a war....

Redleg, do you have any of your horses in work at present?

Back on BC, I'll try and post a link I saw the other day which had the concluding stages from the turn in her first 24 starts. Amazing footage. If you have 5-10 minutes spare it's worth watching and reminiscing.

Stop the presses!

The late mail is that Kim Jong Un is preparing to take over from Don McLardy after the GWS game.

North Korean missiles are currently being moved around and are to target Fat Phils palace in Western Sydney. This ploy will win over the MFC members for sure....first we take Blacktown, then we take Princes Park!

Briefed will run next week, maybe Anzac Day at Flemington. Ran 2nd in a trial and going well.

Anluan should be off for her first start in a couple of weeks.

Le Beau Cheval will run in Sydney somewhere in next week.

  • The Clayton Oliver Thread

    Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

    It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

    The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

    The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.
