Rainbow paper Ernest my God you are old. Not sure there are more than two of us who know what you are talking about.

Old and proud OD. 

But as they say your only as old as you feel, although my creaky bones, dust and shroud suggest otherwise. But the spirit is strong.

I think the original joke was, in Parliament a Cabinet Minister stood and said " I am a country member" and a voice from the opposition benches yelled out " yes we remember".

We used to say this about Doug Anthony if anyone remembers.

That voice was none other than Edward Gough Whitlam. 

The same man who, when asked by an annoying journalist about his position on abortion, replied, "In your case, I believe it should be retrospective."

Ernie is beyond old od he's dead. And good luck to him.

However, I also know what rainbow paper is. FMD, is there any benefit in this aging process?

I have yet to discover one Bbo. But as my wife constantly reminds me ageing is better than the alternative.

That’s a matter of opinion.

Moon, are you telling me that Bitter But Bent actually exists in a recognizable form ?

Just assumed that he was an insecure little man with big man complex seeking reassurance, a sense of identity and a purpose in an otherwise sad existence in rural Romsey .

You mean he is not a little guy in hat, glasses, gaberdine overcoat and a kit bag with cut lunch in rainbow paper ? 

I must admit Ernie, that I have found a gaberdine overcoat a useful accessory when out strolling in the park.

You suppose I am a ghost, however remember that all the main religions believe in some form of afterlife whether it be spiritual, the separation of body from soul, or the on-going cycle of death and rebirth. Of course the details vary but the essential elements remain the same whether it be early Yiddish teachings, Vedic (Hinduism) philosophy, Christian theology or  Islamic teachings. That is the explanation of why I have returned in a form that allows me to watch footy and write on this site. 

Philistines, boors, oafs, ignoramuses, louts, yahoos, hoons, vulgarians, plebeians, atheists, sceptics, heathens, beasts, brutes, peasants fail to understand these deep issues.  

That excludes you OD but perhaps not some notable posters on this thread who are concerned with their vanity and matters of the flesh.  Short term pleasures but forever condemned to hell, a rabid dog scouring the gutters of Mumbai looking for scraps. 

Hineni, Hallelujah, Samsara OD.

I'm busted.

As a youthful peasant, with vulgar, loutish  tendencies, veering into oafish boorish and ignorant behaviour, my scepticism leading me to atheism, I gathered together with a bunch of heathen brutes to form the Plebians and wrest the Traralgon basketball title from the reigning elites.

One of my esteemed number was Bernie Quinlan.

 

Aah those were the days, short term pleasures indeed. I still recount that I played with two browlowmedalists having also played tennis with Kelvin Templeton.

Gough was known to refuse door stop interviews (apart from his last one ).

When a young lady tried to ask him a question on the street she got;

"Madam, I, try to avoid speaking to strange ladies on the street".

They just don't make arrogant ,pompous, conceited ,well educated, urbane socialists like they used to.

Is this a description of Collingwoood, Carlton and Esssendon supporters ?

Would you prefer the attention seeking, Christian lead, 2 x left footed ScoMo? Give me an atheist PM any day.

Having said that, we could do with a few more left footers in our team

Very close. Something winds back to an old fashioned shack.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
