Life is not really a journey either.

It’s actually a process and should be viewed as such.

People who say “life’s a journey” rely on astrology, tarot cards and other esoteric nonsense too much.

Life is a process and success is a series of correct and often difficult decisions.

Very statistical Biff. are you a Digital or [censored], Ogue ?

    A certain amount of co-ordination is necessary though, with Fitzy proving he could deny the odds in that respect.

    Of course life's a journey.

    You start somewhere.. venture through to another position.

    Some obviously find that hard to grasp.

    Maybe those that see things as only black and white are in the wrong place.

    Perhaps, but how did they get there?

    Yep, no room for scum Collingwood supporters around here unless they see the light and start looking one eyed red and blue

    And that scum bucket  $cully right at the other end.  Perhaps he was scared Max was going to vomit on him again.  Actually just the thought of that little turd makes me want to vomit, so I completely understand why Max reportly did it.

    There is a danger in thinking life is a journey; some sort of a pilgrimage with a purpose at the end. Life is to be lived along the way, in the same way that music is to be enjoyed. ... Life is music all along. - Alan Watts.

    That would explain a lot if he was Jacks father.

    A dampener on what has been a largely positive thread , but I've been thinking of Max in the context of yesterday's sickening events in Christchurch.  Much too hard to put to the back of ones mind.

    I never felt that Freo guy we picked up in Mark Neilds time was any chop - impressive numbers at VFL level, but always looked useless and never produced when he got an opertunity at in our senior side. 

    Sorry, Balls. Who was this? More clues, please.

    Outside of Trengove I can honestly say I rated him highest.

    He did always have that X factor, could take a big grab and was very coordinated for a guy his size.  Was only ever a question if he could get over his injuries and I thought he had a pretty good chance of becoming a good player, but didn't quite see the absolute superstar he has become right from back then.

    No worries.  I couldn't remember his name when I wrote the original post, but do now - it was Viv Mitchie.

    Thanks. Yes, waste of space.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.
