Oh good lord, I've just found a youtube clip of BBO teaching in class. Can't be sure, but I believe Biff uploaded it. Don't think he knows he was being filmed. He's certainly an old school disciplinarian...

No, that's not me, but his teaching style is based on my approach. His language is far more welcoming and inclusive than mine. Top post Moonie, I enjoyed watching a fellow professional.

Hope you washed your hands before typing on the keyboard. Actually, that applies to BBO as well.

On a cruise ship just passed Gallipoli and Anzac Cove, very emotional moment.

Go dees against the dogs, good to see Viney playing. How is that other bloke still in the side, just stunned. Some of our younger blokes will be getting very [censored] off with that.

Passed the same spot last year without the same emotions perhaps because it's a part of world history that I studied and from which I learned you don't trust politicians and leaders of armies (although you have to feel for the kids on both sides whose lives and limb were lost for nothing at all).

You've done better than your brother-in-law and sister-in-law who sailed past Gallipoli sitting facing the shore and had to be told later that they hadn't even noticed the place.

WJ my dad used to say they cheer when you leave play a band when you return and that is the last you here from them.

I see a Mr. C. Schwab has applied for the AFL Players association CEO position.

That would be interesting.

I would have thought that the chances of him getting another AFL gig were very low.

Just might prove he has more lives than your average cat.

Okay then......

Maple, This thread is inhabited by some very strange types who have nothing better to do than post on this thread. Beware! If in doubt, put yourself in Uncle Bitter's hands.

Some of the posts in this thread are rather strange and confusing. And yet, I can't seem to look away.

I have visited the Gallipoli site a few years ago.

A number of people were very emotional there and it was sad to read the stories from both sides of the conflict.

It was interest to see how the Turks regarded the site and i did have a chat to a few Turkish soldiers there.

  • CASEY: Sydney

    The Casey Demons were always expected to emerge victorious in their matchup against the lowly-ranked Sydney Swans at picturesque Tramway Oval, situated in the shadows of the SCG in Moore Park. They dominated the proceedings in the opening two and a half quarters of the game but had little to show for it. This was primarily due to their own sloppy errors in a low-standard game that produced a number of crowded mauls reminiscent of the rugby game popular in old Sydney Town. However, when the Swans tired, as teams often do when they turn games into ugly defensive contests, Casey lifted the standard of its own play and … it was off to the races. Not to nearby Randwick but to a different race with an objective of piling on goal after goal on the way to a mammoth victory. At the 25-minute mark of the third quarter, the Demons held a slender 14-point lead over the Swans, who are ahead on the ladder of only the previous week's opposition, the ailing Bullants. Forty minutes later, they had more than fully compensated for the sloppiness of their earlier play with a decisive 94-point victory, that culminated in a rousing finish which yielded thirteen unanswered goals. Kicks hit their targets, the ball found itself going through the middle and every player made a contribution.

  • REPORT: St. Kilda

    Hands up if you thought, like me, at half-time in yesterday’s game at TIO Traeger Park, Alice Springs that Melbourne’s disposal around the ground and, in particular, its kicking inaccuracy in front of the goals couldn’t get any worse. Well, it did. And what’s even more damning for the Melbourne Football Club is that the game against St Kilda and its resurgence from the bottomless pit of its miserable start to the season wasn’t just lost through poor conversion for goal but rather in the 15 minutes when the entire team went into a slumber and was mugged by the out-of-form Saints. Their six goals two behinds (one goal less than the Demons managed for the whole game) weaved a path of destruction from which they were unable to recover. Ross Lyon’s astute use of pressure to contain the situation once they had asserted their grip on the game, and Melbourne’s self-destructive wastefulness, assured that outcome. The old adage about the insanity of repeatedly doing something and expecting a different result, was out there. Two years ago, the score line in Melbourne’s loss to the Giants at this same ground was 5 goals 15 behinds - a ratio of one goal per four scoring shots - was perfectly replicated with yesterday’s 7 goals 21 behinds. 
    This has been going on for a while and opens up a number of questions. I’ll put forward a few that come to mind from this performance. The obvious first question is whether the club can find a suitable coach to instruct players on proper kicking techniques or is this a skill that can no longer be developed at this stage of the development of our playing group? Another concern is the team's ability to counter an opponent's dominance during a run on as exemplified by the Saints in the first quarter. Did the Demons underestimate their opponents, considering St Kilda's goals during this period were scored by relatively unknown forwards? Furthermore, given the modest attendance of 6,721 at TIO Traeger Park and the team's poor past performances at this venue, is it prudent to prioritize financial gain over potentially sacrificing valuable premiership points by relinquishing home ground advantage, notwithstanding the cultural significance of the team's connection to the Red Centre?

    After kicking the first goal of the match the Demons were always playing catch up against the Saints in Alice Spring and could never make the most of their inside 50 entries to wrestle back the lead.
