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 can be the "president in waiting" then

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

    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.

    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).

    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.

    • PODCAST: 2026 Season Preview

      The boys previewed the 2026 Season sharing their early impressions of the new coach, the new players, observations from preseason training, and what they've made of the new game style. They also look ahead to the season with their predictions, the players they expect to rise, their expectations for the team, and what they see as a realistic pass mark for Melbourne in 2026.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      When the Demons blew their 46-point lead at Marvel Stadium in Round 20 last year, the fallout was enormous. Like an event straight out of a Shakespearean tragedy, Melbourne’s final-quarter collapse left fans reeling and the club grappling with the aftermath.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.

      The Dees ran another clinic for the second week in a row as they easily accounted for the Tigers in the lightning interrupted shortened match at Mars Stadium in Ballarat.
