    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.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
