Best of wishes, mate. When I became separated from my wife, and then divorced, I thought my world had ended. It floored me. Floored me for a good two years. But I survived it, and once I got up off t

Have you received any indications of New Year's honours Earl Hood?

BBO all is quiet on that front but then I had little indication last year of my then elevation, so you never know what the new year may have in store! I of course would be incredibly humbled should I be selected for higher honours.

Well. to those I know, and to those I don't, the very best of the season to you all. A safe passage through the minefield of holidays and have a very Merry Christmas. Cheers :roos:

& to you beelze'

"Oh don't tell me Butch, this could be a draw" Mike Williamson - any time a VFL final was close in the last quarter.

ahh, the good Ol days of little stats & even less footy techno babble; we were free to laugh spontaneously or to 'WoW' the Royce Harts & Jezzas, or ooohh when the big men crunched bones. big nick or big Carl.

the 80's were great

the 90's good too, & the early 2000's were something with the lions.

now we have 5 or 6 ex players commentating & dragging the whole shebang down with too much technical blah, & too little jocularity... the game has started taking itself too seriously, & the fun has left the building.

Jack Dyerisms

Again, speaking in the language I know best, that of the NFL and the Seattle Seahawks, one of our beloved coaches was Chuck Knox who, like Jack Dyer, spoke his own language. There are plenty of Knoxisms to go around, so it's only befitting to share the Dyerisms as well! Enjoy!

From Pelic:

I read your Jack Dyer Tribute page and thought that you might like to put these on there.

QUOTES FROM CAPTAIN BLOOD

"He's a good ordinary footballer"

"He's so scared he sleeps with the lights on"

"An Essendon supporter is a Collingwood supporter that has money" (My favourite)

"Things aren't the same now that there are five teams in the top four"

"I want you to pair off in threes"

"They've got a couple of good players in Harvey"

"Flanagans trying to use some pace he hasn't got"

"There weren't too many best man on grounds"

and the old "If you don't mind umpire"

Hello Becky,

Just a few Dyerisms for you.

"Geelong have copulated." - capitulated?

And describing a player who'd had a disappointing game: "He got where the ball ain't."

Have a good day Becky.

Kind regards,

John

Loved The Captain and the Major, Ian Major wasn't it? And what about Harry Beitzle and I can't remember his cohort down in the rooms who reported in faithfully every week.

But later on there was Rex Hunt. I listened in only occasionally but could not work him out, one I didn't know all his knick names for players or his modes operandi for calling games. Occasionally I would tune into a Rex game and you could not work out what was growing on, who had the ball, or which game you were at!

Tommy Lahiff now that I remember. Always down in the rooms doing interviews.

Ahh yes humility. An elusive concept.

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    The Demons once again went goalless in the last quarter and were run down by the Lions at the Gabba in the final minutes of the match ultimately losing the game by 5 points as their percentage dips below 100 for the first time since 2020.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi
