    I've always said the captain was.
    Now it's been confirmed.

    Big deal. His tenure as captain is over anyway.

    You need help.

    SWYL you are one of the few that on a good day you really do post some insightful things and I do enjoy some of your quality work. But this isn't a good day for you mate.

    Am I the only one that finds this uncomfortable when a complete stranger posts a photo of a bloke with his wife and 2 kids on a family holiday up on an online forum?

    Would hope mods step in and take this down.

    Unfortunately this is the world we live in now dazzle. 

    Nothing is private anymore.

    I have never ever been skiing in Australia. Spent 2 months in Canada and loved it but that was 20 years ago. Do I hand in my membership?

    Jones is in New Zealand.

    Thanks skipper.

     

    Looks like quite a place. Must go there some day. Maybe to celebrate a flag or something.

     

     

    Queenstown is definitely somewhere to visit. Place is built on Adrenalin; all set among breathtaking scenery.

    I haven't skied Cardrona...but have Coronet and the Remarkables. You can get some very good packages to ski there. I first did bungy during a ski season...probably not the most same thing I've ever done...the water..'freezing"

    Takes a little while to get used to skiing among NO trees !!  ...but hey....less to hit ...lol

    Go there...highly recommend.

    yes they most certainly do....and invariably the GF is shown

    The first time I went to NZ was to QT was 1990  I went partially to enjoy the Skiing..but as much to escape Melbourne in the throng of Filth Fever going into the GF. There was this obnoxious family every day on the ski bus, the type of Aussie tourists that make you blush or cringe. By the end of the week they will have made most peoples 'kill list'  Sunday must have been their last day. I still had another week  and Im sure I speak on behalf of the bus we couldnt wait for them to go. As we traveled towards the Remarkables that Sunday morning he ( [censored]#1) was bemoaning he didn't know the GF score. We all knew he was a Filthy Maggie as he wore his black and white scarf and beanie every bloody day.  No-one answered. Either most didnt know, didn't care or just didnt want to make this lot any worse than they already were..  So I did.  I told him Essendon had won  by a goal after the siren.  Wiped the smile right off his face and we didnt hear another peep out of them for the rest of the day. He was heading home the next day so for at least 24hours or until he happened upon the REAL score he was utterly miserable. I enjoyed the rest of my holiday ;)

    Hilarious. ..the epitome  of the Melbourne  stereotype..

    Rather be at the snow...and in September. ...says it all.

    Who says Jones would rather be at the snow than playing in a final?

    Jesus mate he is on a holiday with his wife and 2 kids..

    At least let the bloke live his life a little.

    WYL doesn't think rationally.

    He'll want him lighting candles every night and praying to the ghost of Norm Smith to lift the curse for us because curses exist and they matter to current players just like they matter to old blokes who can't let go.

    • REPORT: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.
