what do you even mean? tell him he's going to be delisted before his exit meeting?? then its just gonna be a shock to the system two weeks earlier when they're still in season? this literally makes sense. the whole point of the exit meeting is to discuss what their future is and recap their season. no better time to drop the news

In most workplaces, the exit meeting comes AFTER an employee has been given their notice.

Saints will have to play the long game now and pick him up in a salary dump in 2 years time. 

Honestly not a silly suggestion at all. I really can't see him seeing out the 5 years.

And as JDG alights his Qantas flight direct to Las Vegas, we bid farewell to his illustrious presence on our Trade & Draft Board and look forward to a resumption of normal service from the Magpie favourite. 

Interesting that again expediency  triumphed over morals and doing better.

Pendlebury (35yo at the start of next season), Howe (33yo next June) and Sidebottom (32yo at the start of next season) in the top 5.  Could be a short lived Collingwood resurgence ...

we can but hope

 

The great news is we can all go back to affirming that Jordan De Goey is a #$%& without having to worry that next year we'll be celebrating his goals.

 

I hear on good authority that he has checked in for a flight to Bali again in the last few days ... this could get ugly sooner than expected

I'd like to see TISM, but I'm too old for festivals.

I used to play in an 80s cover band. Our drummer was a mate of one of the members of TISM (Sean Kelly, same name as the Models guy, but a different person). He got us a gig once.

He wasn't the Ron Hitler-Barassi member of TISM ...

I too was a bit reticent about going to the Good Things festival given I am middle aged now (I do go to gigs occasionally but haven't been to a festival for a very long time). I finally decided to get a ticket after they released new tickets and then 2 days later they had the first of their 'secret gigs' (D'oh). Did anyone catch the Croxton, Prince of Wales or 170 Russell gigs?

Looking forward to seeing them live next Friday arvo ... its been a while 😆

Should be a decent festival, I'd like to get there myself but it's a bit of moolah. 

Saw this thread bob up again so assumed JDG was up to his old antics. I'll be surprised if he avoids any assault or harassment incidents before next season starts.

$200 is a bit steep to catch TISM live again after two decades but I wasn't sure if they would do any side gigs so when extra tickets were announced,  went for it and told my better half that it can be my Christmas gift 😁 Regurgitator and the Cosmic Psychos in the lineup helped sway it in my mind 😎

78% of an incident by JDG before Round 1 I say 😁

Would be good if they could 'announce' another secret show. 

Good Things should be well worth it though, have a blast!

How did you find out about the "secret shows"? I walk past The Croc on my way to work, and always check to see who's playing. I was so [censored] off when I saw YouTube clips of their gig. Personally, I'd rather see them at a smaller venue than at a festival, but being able to see The Cosmic Psychos as well will make it worth while.

I'm jealous that you're going to see Nick Cave. Does it include all the Bad Seeds, or just Nick and Warren Ellis?

i'm a mod of a facebook group that 'remembers' the 90s oztrayan music scene - it went out and about across there in the lead-up to the shows, and people in the know found out pretty quick

it's nick cave, warren ellis, colin greenwood from radiohead on bass, larry mullins from swans / iggy pop's band on drums, and three besides on beevee's - apparently the shows have been crazy good


I found out about the "secret" TISM shows via some TISM fan pages on FB. The info was with short notice and I have a toddler in the home so I wasn't able to duck out to see them on short notice but am really looking forward to catching them tomorrow as well as Regurgitator (missed their gig in Moorabbin earlier this year) and the Cosmic Psychos (who I have caught live a few times recently, they are always great value) 🤘🍺😎

 

So bloody jealous right now WWSW, big downside to my job, even when I’m home is too last minute to snag TKTS, although I was able to brag my way into the Prince one night many years ago as dirty humanitarian on shore leave.

  • 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.

    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?

    A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
