    Wonder if Watts gets a recall. Casey really need Pedersen and Byrnes this week and for the rest of the year. I would be happy if anyone else played for us instead, other than Gillies.

    you can be the "president in waiting" then

    you've had 49 years of practice in waiting, shouldn't be too hard

    Appreciate the thought H_T but given the bagging that our last half a dozen CEO's have received from the media and the public, I'm going to suggest that the club appoints a popular figure for the position who would be completely beyond criticism and who the usual suspects would think twice about before any back stabbing.

    I'm nominating Black Caviar for CEO.

    If you travelled North of the border into NSW there were plenty of critics at Randwick last Saturday.

    Now they are all salmon and black fans, thanks to BC spanking the best they had to offer. Has to travel overseas again to find any competition.

    And Gerard Whateley should be seriously contemplating a new book for BC.

    I am currently reading his first one on her.

    If Gerard writes in any way like he speaks, you will save yourself a fortune on Valium.

    On sporting books, just dug out "Knights in Muddy Armour". Bloody star. Sorry, little off topic.

    There is no topic here,must you be reminded.

    Phil Edmonds wife wrote a cracking tome.

    But never will I forget 'How to Hypnotize chickens and other tales".

    Max Walker must be the greatest novelist to have worn the red and blue.

    Don't forget Max hails from Tassie, the same neck of the woods as Martin Flanagan. Must be something in the water down there ... (or maybe they just have double the brain cells :blink: )

    Can what Max writes really be described as "novels"?

    Well, it is not 'The Aeneid' either ... :)

    Black Caviar has retired unbeaten in 25 starts. What a horse? I will continue reading the Whately book on her.

    It's a great record Redleg. Absolute freak of a horse.

    What isn't a great stat is that Black Caviar had more wins in it's racing career than Melbournefc had wins.

    We were all lucky to be able to see her run. May never see another like her. She is the female Frankel. Imagine the offspring value of a mating between those two. The Sheikhs would pay an oilwell.

    You could be onto something there ... a bit more like Aenid Blyton than Roman epic poetry.

    I have read 'The Magic Faraway Tree' to my kids, but I can't imagine doing that with 'How to hypnotise chooks ...'

    Probably not dissimilar to that of Frances Edmonds next one.

    "The trials and tribulations of the born to rule exploiting the Congo" .

    Never mind Redleg .Plough through.

    My thoughts on Black Caviar are coloured by her advantages in life ,rather than the hardships she ever endured ,which were very few.

    Like reading a book titled "Paris Hilton-My Struggle".

    A real page shutter.

    Every accolade makes Sheedy wealthier ,which is the really sad part for me .

    I'd read it, but I'm worried that there'd be too much sex in the book (it being written by Gerard Whately and all).

    Now that she's retired, she has plenty of time for the CEO gig and furthermore, would make a great running partner for Redleg.

    I believe this is the big announcement that's going to be made at the club tomorrow. Redleg for Chairman and BC for CEO.

    There I've beaten Caro for the scoop of the week!

    It may be BC, but sadly it won't be me as I haven't been contacted yet . Maybe they will appoint me without speaking to me as they know I would be excellent in the role.

    Obtaining the offspring of Frankel-Black Caviar could start a war....

    Redleg, do you have any of your horses in work at present?

    Back on BC, I'll try and post a link I saw the other day which had the concluding stages from the turn in her first 24 starts. Amazing footage. If you have 5-10 minutes spare it's worth watching and reminiscing.

    Stop the presses!

    The late mail is that Kim Jong Un is preparing to take over from Don McLardy after the GWS game.

    North Korean missiles are currently being moved around and are to target Fat Phils palace in Western Sydney. This ploy will win over the MFC members for sure....first we take Blacktown, then we take Princes Park!

    Briefed will run next week, maybe Anzac Day at Flemington. Ran 2nd in a trial and going well.

    Anluan should be off for her first start in a couple of weeks.

    Le Beau Cheval will run in Sydney somewhere in next week.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.
