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.

    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: )

  • Quote

    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.

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      The dominant storyline coming out of Round One for Saturday Night’s clash at Optus Stadium centres on the influence of the big men. The spotlight naturally falls on two elite ruckmen who, five years ago, shared the stage in Melbourne’s memorable premiership triumph.

    • NON-MFC: Round 02

      The compromised AFL fixture will get another test this week with the first lot of teams getting a bye after only two matches. Despite this Round 2 starts off with two cracking games as the Hawks host the Swans at the G on Thursday Night and then on Friday Night the Crows host the Bulldogs at Adelaide Oval. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • THE STATS FILES: St. Kilda

      As part of the effort to trim the runtime of the regular podcast, we’ve been looking at which segments could be reshaped without losing what makes them valuable. One segment that naturally came into focus was Binman’s Stats Files. Not because it isn’t important; quite the opposite. It’s become such a substantial and much-loved part of the show that it deserves a little room to breathe.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      One of the big stories of the AFL off-season was the spending spree of Melbourne’s Round 1 opponent, St Kilda. They splashed out heavily, first to retain Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera - the hero of last year’s epic come-from-behind miracle victory -turning him into a $2 million man. They then effectively took out an expensive overdraft to recruit a string of expensive players from other clubs. It was a risky investment strategy and, although it’s still early days, it certainly failed to pay off in Sunday’s season opener, with much of the glitter turning to fool’s gold.

    • POSTGAME: St. Kilda

      Never in doubt!!! In Steven King’s first game at the helm of the Melbourne Football Club, the Dees outlasted Saints in a wild, momentum-swinging thriller at the MCG, running out 13-point winners.
