I think you can be polite and combative at the same time.

Ever heard the phrase “ smiling assassin “?

I've had people call me that, although the emphasis wasn't on the smiling part.

    Julius Caesar didn’t see his assassins smiling either. Mainly because Brutus and most of the brave boys, stabbed him in the back.

    What's the problem with that Red?

    It seems quite logical to me. If you need to stab someone, do it in the back. It's certainly safer for the stabber, not so much for the stabbee, and I'm sure quite effective. Plus it's sneaky.

    Does anyone think that May might kick out to his right at all this year?

    Hopefully the long bomb to the left forward pocket, where we have one key forward against three tall defenders, is off the menu.

    With Tom and Benny fit and firing and with JVR hopefully getting his chance and Max or Brody, we have options.

    I'm looking forward generally to what new elements there might be in our ball movement. Ours is - or at least has the capacity to be - the fastest, most skilled, most disciplined squad.

    Meanwhile, to your opening query, he'd probably end up doing - you guessed it! - a banana, that accordingly still ended up out to the left.

    Machiavelli tells a wonderful story of an Italian prince who conquered a new territory, essentially adding a city-state to his realm. To establish order and root out the corruption that was his pretext for an 'invited' conquest, he sent an absolute hardened b-stard to overzealously crush everyone who was even vaguely suspected. When the locals started arcing up about things going to far, the Prince used this agent as a scapegoat, and arranged to have him assassinated, body cut in half and dumped in the middle of the town square, thereby both 'satisfying and stupefying' the populace, because they got what they wanted but... Mio Dio! Quello è selvaggio!

    Now, that is how you stab someone in the back.

    Also an example of a surprising historical fact; you're much more likely to be stabbed in the back/assassinated/betrayed and so forth by someone more senior to you who fears your ambition, than by someone beneath you trying to climb.

    Of course, this is all in the old days before the invention of the banana smoothie brought peace to the world.

    I know there's a debate to whether our game plan has been worked out or not but this aspect of it really has. Opposition coaching  for this moment was in full effect late last season, studying the fall of the ball and how to position for this moment. We need a more varied ball movement strategy.

    Turns out Melksy and Harmesy are girls. Langers and Fritta are boys. The No-Roosters Council bylaw applies purely for noise disturbance reasons. In case we ended up with any boys, my son and I chose this particular breed of bantam based on the fact that they have the quietest cockcrow, so hopefully little Langers (the self-appointed alpha) won’t trouble anyone and we get to keep him.  🤞🏼 🤞🏼🤞🏼

    Well WCW you will be reassured to know that your Uncle Bitter cares and (as usual) is prepared to help out.

    I have an excellent spit at The Manor so... if required... Langers and Fritter could "serve" a higher purpose -  ie being "served" at  The Manor.

    Please don't accuse me of Insensitivity - I'm just trying to help out.

    • 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

      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.
