That's not actually correct

At that stage we just won't even worry about it any more

In my dementia you won't know what is going on in my mind. That vacant look will be me reliving 1964. With a bit of luck 20xx as well.

 

the good thing is the short term memory goes first

this enhances the long term memory so you can enjoy the 50's and 60's over and over

at least for those that were around then

One flaw in your statement... no-one who was really there can remember the '60's... ever!

Not my bubble you're bursting DC... I was simply paraphrasing Robin Williams.

I was only there for 18 months or so, but who knows what Mum and Dad feed me back then?

I remember the 60's well...even as a young kid...When big events were on the TV people just stopped doing what they were doing and watched...you couldn't record TV

The 60's were a wonderful decade and the best thing about it was that people knew it as it was happening!! (Well those that did not take large doses of acid or live on a diet of magic "shrooms!

Yep, I still have great memories of watching sputnik go overhead (a moving dot), of watching the Melbourne Olympics on TV and of sitting up late (or was i early?) for the first satellite broadcast that culminated in the Beatles live in the recording studio performing All You Need is Love. Good times!

And I thought I was made of steel and would live forever.

That the MFC would roll on as a GF winning machine forever.

Reality is very painful at times

Police don't put out press releases every five minutes on active investigations either, unless there is good reason to. It doesn't mean nothing is happening.

Look at the Julia Gillard investigation and the Craig Thompson investigation. Nothing really said while the 'evidence' was being gathered.Its taken a long time to get Thompson into court. Gillard may never be charged but its quite the likely the investigation is still continuing.

Anyone else think Mrs. H is a clone of her husband?

Looks more like his press agent in the above photo....what a couple.

She looks like an Essex girl with a cheap makeover.

Looks like she's had the same facial reconstruction as her husband,.

I still see you Neil Crompton kicking that goal as if it was yesterday

Amazing how a fortnight can fly by without you even knowing it.

and you are so right too Old Dee

As soon as I saw the photos one thing hit me.

Always standing behind someone!

Which Gillard investigation are we talking about?

But yes, on Thompson, they've clearly got that right...

People. This is a serious subject. Do we need to lower the tone with personal attacks on the Hirds?

Why not concentrate on what the Essendon programme has done to its players and the consequences of those actions?

  • PREVIEW: Richmond

    A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.

  • NON-MFC: Round 07

    Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Fremantle

    For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

  • CASEY: UWS Giants

    The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

  • PREGAME: Richmond

    The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?
