Redleg 42,156 Posted April 14, 2013 Author Posted April 14, 2013 No phone call yet. Can't believe it. I am ready to preside. Quote
Redleg 42,156 Posted April 15, 2013 Author Posted April 15, 2013 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. 1 Quote
daisycutter 30,021 Posted April 15, 2013 Posted April 15, 2013 No phone call yet. Can't believe it. I am ready to preside.you can be the "president in waiting" then you've had 49 years of practice in waiting, shouldn't be too hard Quote
Redleg 42,156 Posted April 16, 2013 Author Posted April 16, 2013 Averaging 11 possies this year at 60% effectiveness. About $9k a possie. Hope its worse from hereon. Quote
H_T 3,049 Posted April 16, 2013 Posted April 16, 2013 Whispering_Jack, on 13 Apr 2013 - 21:23, said: 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. Quote

Biffen 12,949 Posted April 16, 2013 Posted April 16, 2013 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. 1 Quote
Return to Glory 8,518 Posted April 16, 2013 Posted April 16, 2013 On sporting books, just dug out "Knights in Muddy Armour". Bloody star. Sorry, little off topic. Quote

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. Quote

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 ) Quote
Red and Bluebeard 2,101 Posted April 16, 2013 Posted April 16, 2013 Can what Max writes really be described as "novels"? Well, it is not 'The Aeneid' either ... Quote
Whispering_Jack 31,368 Posted April 16, 2013 Posted April 16, 2013 Well, it is not 'The Aeneid' either ... You could be onto something there ... a bit more like Aenid Blyton than Roman epic poetry. 2 Quote
Redleg 42,156 Posted April 17, 2013 Author Posted April 17, 2013 Black Caviar has retired unbeaten in 25 starts. What a horse? I will continue reading the Whately book on her. Quote

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. Quote

She is the female Frankel. Imagine the offspring value of a mating between those two. The Sheikhs would pay an oilwell. Quote

Biffen 12,949 Posted April 17, 2013 Posted April 17, 2013 Black Caviar has retired unbeaten in 25 starts. What a horse? I will continue reading the Whately book on her. 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 . Quote
Chook 15,069 Posted April 17, 2013 Posted April 17, 2013 Black Caviar has retired unbeaten in 25 starts. What a horse? I will continue reading the Whately book on her. 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). 1 Quote
biggestred 5,311 Posted April 17, 2013 Posted April 17, 2013 i hear black caviar has been on the james hird juice. of course, about as much credibility here as north korean news Quote
Whispering_Jack 31,368 Posted April 17, 2013 Posted April 17, 2013 i hear black caviar has been on the james hird juice. of course, about as much credibility here as north korean newsNow 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! 1 Quote

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. Quote

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. Quote

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! 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! Quote

Anluan should be off for her first start in a couple of weeks. Le Beau Cheval will run in Sydney somewhere in next week. Quote
