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.

Yes, that is a good one too.

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.

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.

Risky strategy

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.

    HIGHLIGHTS/LOWLIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Melbourne traveled across the continent to take on the Fremantle Dockers in sweltering conditions at Mandurah south of Perth in a game that delivered the club both its highlight and its lowlight in the first minute.  But first, let’s start by doing away with the usual cliches used in connection with the game. It was just a practice match and the result didn’t matter. Bad kicking is bad football. The game was played in severe heat, the swirly breeze played havoc with both teams resulting in

    The Dees were blown out of the water early by the Fremantle Dockers before fighting back and going down by 19 points in their final practice match of the preseason before Round 1. Remember it's only a practice match if you lose.

    TRAINING: Friday 28th February 2025

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers headed down to Gosch's Paddock to bring you their observations from today's training session before the Demons head off to Perth for their final Practice Match. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Beautiful morning, not much wind, more than a couple of dozen spectators.  The players were up and about, boisterous and having fun. One of their last drills were three teams competing in a hard at it, handball game in a small area. Goody

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the
