    Racist joke

    O.K.

    What do you call a sheep tied to a pole in New Zealand?

    Any thoughts ?

    its a shame nobody is taking you seriously, because its actually a brilliant idea for many reasons, including the possibility of new members from the Chinese community

    I really hope it happens now

    To be honest, he is a bit of a faux supporter but one of the biggest issues we have had over the year is our insular culture and our unwillingness to truly embrace outsiders (Jimmah and Sean Wight aside). John So might be good in helping us dispel the notion that we are a stuffy rich white man's club.

    That being said, I think John So was into supporting Melbourne to help John So. I think he had a thing with the Storm as well to say he 'was a big supporter of Melbourne' or some junk like that. The next president needs to be committed and in for the long haul

    Is the pole newly arrived in NZ or been living there for a while?

    Very drole ,

    but I was speaking of the stripping variety of pole.

    John would be so good to get.

    Polished public performer, successful businessman, media cred.

    One query - does he genuinely barrack for us or was that just politically useful as lord mayor?

    John So wouldnt be able to name one Melbourne player without the prompting of one of his aides. He was as token a #1 ticketholder as we've

    had since Rupert Murdoch back in the 80s.

    While he may have been a 'popular' Lord Mayor, that doesnt mean he was good at his job. He managed to surround himself with many a sycophantic

    and canny Councillor (Gary Singer,Catherine Ng,Ken Ong et al), and they spent the best part of a decade feathering their collective nests with cushy

    deals with overseas developers, as well as raising the salary of City of Melbourne Councillors to all time record highs.

    John So? He may be your bro, but for me its a big no.

    this. His restaurants got away with a lot of stuff while he was Lord Mayor too.

    does John So barrack for Dees? If he wants the job I'm all for it.

    Agreed enough of the "inadvertent" comments. Can be offensive if you've copped this your entire life in Australis. Boring and so not funny.

    Does that mean Jack Watts jokes are off the list too? So what, you might say.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
