We got the TV for the Melbourne Olympics... it creeped me out. Noddy with that organ/calliope style music scared the bejeezus out of me, Tom Terrific, Torchy the Battery Boy, Sooty etc etc... you're lucky you missed out.

These were all my little brother's faves (which would put your age in the mid 50s). He moved on to Thunderbirds and then Dr Who.

I never did understand how those old crystal radios worked. But it was how I listened to the Brownlow Medal before it was a 'televisual feast' (with apologies to John Cleese and Connie Booth)

didn't you know the pyramids were really a giant power station powered by crystals and electro magnetic forces

Crazy waste of money from CD and MC......cheaper just to dose up on mystery injectables.

I am hoping the club has volunteered to chip in but then again we are in a bit of a pickle.

I don't think it matters where you take the players pre season if you start off with boiled loolies they will never become Chocolates.

It is IMO as simple as the vast majority are not AFL standard and no amount of humidity / altitude is going to change that problem.

Great stuff... but I'm early 60's actually :-) I too moved on to Thunderbirds via Supercar, Stingray, Joe 90 and Fireball XL5 - Gerry Anderson was a genius!

They earn decent bucks, be interesting to see who else puts there name on the list, those two blokes are everything that J Watts isnt.

Having just climbed Mt Fuji, if they leave now there won't be any snow for a while and it's 12,000 feet. It was good for a headspin while climbing, I'm sure it's good for recovery

They want a gruelling walk.... Tengboche !! Mind the Yaks !!

Did that a couple of decades ago myself (and I am pretty sure it was around this time or a bit earlier - it was after I went to the diamonji festival in Kyoto)... my legs were screaming by the time I reached the top and coming down was terrible - that volcanic gravel is very loose so you slide everywhere and when it gets into your boots, the little effers are sharp and very uncomfortable. I think with all of the time I spent taking my boots off, emptying them and putting them back on, the walk down took longer than the ascent.


Kenya, Eldorat, now that is a place for high altitude training 9000' really gets the lungs going, fairly cheap. Loved playing against young fit blokes because after 15 min they would blow up, also when you play golf at 9k like at Limuru you get huge distance on the ball.

I was planning to camping in my house on the week end.

So I can show my true dedication to the Dees.

My driveway.

Drove up once with a friend in the front seat.....cured his stutter.

The HK panno will never cope.

So, are you fit enough to slot into our midfield?

Over two decades have passed and the intervening years have not been kind to me LDC... so, apart from having the right height (at 188cm), I'm afraid that in the interests of my children growing up with a father, I would have to pass (well, fail).

  • REPORT: St. Kilda

    When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

  • CASEY: Sandringham

    The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
    Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

  • PREGAME: West Coast

    The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

    It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
