dateline : October 9

The Melbourne Football Club announces the 5 year plan.

Spokesman Neil Nvoid told the three gathered at the presser that the New Board , The New President an the New Coach have formulated the way to success.

Neil then went on ( an on ) to outline how after much research and untold discovery the MFC is now on the road to finals.

When asked the direction the club will take he outlined the course to be taken based upon the new ideals formed around Wide-ranging Instructions Negating Negative Induced Non-responsive Generations

it seems we've been concentration far to much on Long Odds Systems Inducing Nothing Good

Now the offending characteristic of our poor form has been isolated we will now march fervently up the ladder

When taken to task about our past poor performances it was pointed out that past teams and administrations simply sucked big time.

Asked about the F word Neil responded similarly !! As to top 8 finishes, the official line was "well we take it all one week at a time, but don't go booking any holidays in September from here on in"

So there ya go OD...good as done mate !!

In Honkers en route to Liverpool via London and Manchester.

Could someone please briefly list all of the trades we've done before we board for Heathrow (about an hour's time)?

All our trading staff are either on an extended lunch break or been sacked.

So when happy hour is over we should have a trade or two but I think we also need some steak knives to sweeten our deals.

May be winning more then 5 games in a single season?

Can you guarantee me five wins next year?

Yes I can (hope he does not see that my figures are crossed)

In London en route to Liverpool via Manchester.

Got every British newspaper in the BA lounge and I see they haven't improved a single iota since I was last here.

Not a single word about trading and free agency.

Who do they think they are?

I had that same feeling about Camberra

Have we stumbled on the faceless men behind the dees

While RL and WJ are taking an extensive wedding break all trading done by MFC ceases

We can only wait to see the expenses claim for this wedding when the signed forms for the internationalised Demon recruits are lodged and amid a flurry of reporters their feet hit the tarmac at Melbourne

Keep it under wraps with coded talk of bananas while letting the mainstream press divert itself with imaginings of Buddys contract

The next headline

Melbourne surprises with foreign legion tipped to take flag

Newspapers for Poms? Reminds me of trying to follow the 1987 finals campaign from the UK. Almost impossible except by telephone calls home ...

I have to live here... i would put this place first on my list to be "disposed" of

If I remember correctly I think the MFC lost in 1987.

Revenge is sweet

And it's a very good morning from Liverpool, England and I have some sensational news for followers of this thread.

We now have our own poet laureate in the form of one of the great female voices in contemporary Japanese literature, Tokyo's own (and now our own as well) Banana Yoshimoto . The author of a dozen novels including Kitchen and her latest, The Lake was featured in the British Airways in flight magazine which I read on the way from London Heathrow to Manchester last night.

The sun's about to rise in Liverpool, the place we're staying at is right on the Mersey River overlooking the port. Can't think of a better spot to discuss Japanese literature and the fascinating developments of Melbourne's trade week over breakfast with Redleg.

Yeah, but the first two weeks were well worth chasing up the results for ... Then Jimmy ran over the mark and the rest was forgettable ...
