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: )

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.

  • REPORT: Sydney

    A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

  • POSTGAME: Sydney

    The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.

  • CASEY: Northern Bullants

    The Casey Demons travelled to a windy Cramer Street, Preston yesterday and blew the Northern Bullants off the ground for three quarters before shutting up shop in the final term, coasting to a much-needed 71-point victory after leading by almost 15 goals at one stage. It was a pleasing performance that revived the Demons’ prospects for the 2025 season but, at the same time, very little can be taken from the game because of the weak opposition. These days, the Bullants are little more than road kill. The once proud club, situated behind the Preston Market in a now culturally diverse area, is currently facing significant financial and on-field challenges, having failed to secure a win to date in 2025.

  • GAMEDAY: Sydney

    It’s Game Day, and the Demons have a golden opportunity to build on last week’s stirring win by toppling Sydney at the MCG. A victory today would keep them firmly in the hunt for a finals spot and help them stay in touch with the pack chasing a place in the Top 8. Can the Dees make it two in a row and bring down the Swans?
