Could this prove to be a transition as decisive and irreversible as the 'facial hair -> no facial hair' prime ministerial eras?

Nice one, Goffy (Goughy?) Erudite!

Putting aside our clean faced (though gloriously topped!) opener, Edmund Barton, the latter, and still pertinent, era was kicked off by none other than our Stanley Melbourne Bruce.

Aye, don't you be loosely mentioning the illiterate branch of the clan around here.

My parents moved to Canberra in the 70s. My dad was a journo. Can you imagine how hard it was to book a taxi for 'Goff' to pick up from Parliament House late at night?

Tough times, we thought we'd had enough, although we ploughed through the trough until the big fella was given his rough furlough.

Ugh.

There's gotta be some sort of prize for that para and 'full stop'! Its certainly a '10' (if I've counted correctly 😉) 👏

Waddayareckon @Demonstone?

 

I arrived as the big fella's nemesis was in turn realising primeministership wasn't meant to be easy, then saw out Bob's heady first couple of terms there.

Having just ready the past 2 pages I can only conclude that Round 0 cannot come soon enough.

Perhaps you want to re think that!

You're not quite getting it guys!

What's there to get? BBO is whoreganizing another orgy? Old news. Escargots straight from the field of the Manor would have been much more interesting...You can guess my age: the days of whine, women and song are way past. I'm deaf for a start and a victim of God's even-handed justice. In other words, Muslim men might get down on their knees to praise Allah for not making them a 'woman', but older men - alte kakkers like me - pray every day to maybe be able to pass 'water' straight into its bowl instead of its perimeter just once, for old times' sake...

Found this hilarious.

Tom Morris on the Furnace on Channel 9 said he wouldn’t do the Lions Las Vegas trip story as there is no proof it has affected their performance.

Seriously, when we look back at his reporting.

The Dees have been copping it in the media for 2.5 years, with no proof anything said has hurt our performances.

It's because we are the biggest threat in the Afl to other teams.

We are a force others are scared of.

Would Eagles hanging on and beating Swans be the biggest upset of the year, including the rest of the season?

Not sure (or care) about "biggest upset" Red, but it would certainly [censored] up my multi !

I can relate, but at least with titanium and ceramic I can walk around and stand as tall as I can. Other things. I wish I had a cowboy hat instead of cowboy boots !

A warning to all of you wonderful people and good friends.

A disgustingly named thread has been started on DL.

It names the unnamed villain of this thread.

Please for your own mental health and well being don’t visit it.

I am shocked the mods have allowed this offensive thread to be started and continued.

I think it is particularly scurrilous that they have bypassed the auto-censors by changing one letter to a symbol.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.
