Mission Impossible or the Apollo Mission

[Craig Hutchinson 126]

Will there be the hint of smoke or some short of Blast off on Sunday at the G before the game ?

As some of you would know I joined this site to gain support for an idea . My first go at social media . I am a father of two teenage girls and have been negative on the medium . I was wrong .It is a wonderful source of information .

I bought the Red Fox for my father and it was the last book he read . I read it and realised why the Norm Smith medal was awarded to the best player in a GF . The video posted today with Norm Smith's interview , Barassi's and Skilton's insight's of the Man and a story about my childhood idol Hassa Mann almost brought tears . Any great group need a basic foundation . A cause that raises passion and leaders with the principles to make it successful . The video and other posts this week have added another dimension to my view on effect on our club . " Principle's or die . Have favourites but would not play favourites . " The awe of everyone in Melbourne and the reason why the Dees OWNED the G in the 50's and 60's .  Maybe similar to how Melbourne thought of Sir John Monash in the 40's .It must have been incredible !

I am going to sing You Will Never Walk Alone ( NWA ) before the game on Sunday . ( For more information please see my post and joke about the Norm Smith curse last week ).  The idea has moved forward on Demonland " like an ice skater wearing tap shoes " . I like proverbs and will use them until the cows come home . 

No agreement on whether we need a song like Port Adelaide and general apathy for the song itself . Lazy , old , need a new song written , what song ( my younger daughter ) and Liverpool's song . I get the first four but saying the song is Liverpool's is like saying I Dreamed  a Dream  is Susan Boyles song . Liverpool HAVE made it more famous and proved to me that it is THE BEST  (  in the whole world ) pre game song after It's a Grand Old Flag . Please google 95000 sing it at the G . Picking a song started with researching the best knowing the Dees deserve the best .NWA was an easy choice I thought . Ha Ha .If we let the AFL choose a song we might get " somewhere over a rainbow" , the CFC chose a Metallica song that went down like a lead balloon  ( Pert is from Collingwood  ) and the cheer squad committee think Melbourne and AFL supporters do not like to sing .There was agreement that the cause were good .

I am going to be at Richmond station an hour before the game . I may print a few pamphlets with the words of the song and the QR codes of the charities . Need approval from the AFL to hand them out at the ground . I will buy a ticket to to the outer , will be near the cheer squad and will sing the song loudly , proudly and slowly . Will I be singing alone ?

This is a great site and I will continue to contribute after the weekend under a new call sign .

Norm Smith was awarded Coach of the Century in 1996 . Some good competition in my order - John Kennedy , Barassi and Hafey .

McHale before my time and Sheedy and Mathews were too dirty for my liking .

The Apollo Mission has been a Don Quixote ( a favourite book )  type quest .

A quote from Kathryn Heman’s recent book Fury .

“ the hero – a skinny man with a drooping moustache dragging an unwilling horse out from the stable .  The horse’s spine droops in the middle like a badly tied hammock . On the ground , a pile of battered , rusty armour rests at the horse’s feet . “ . She then quoted Cervantes the author “ Rocinante . Formerly and ordinary horse . “

I am a formerly ordinary person with nothing but a wild imagination trying to make  change . And as Max used to say “ and loving it “ .

Ride on Rociante .

Demonland's most esoteric ever thread?

But props for the passion, Craig-Soon-To-Be-Someone-Else!

You may find that more difficult than you think.  I believe you must first achieve a certain number of posts before changing your name.  I suggest you appeal to the Administrators if you are initially turned down. Cheers

Looks like I blew it again Tim . An esoteric thread was not my goal . With 7 comment's ( 3 mine ) it looks like I will be on my pat Malone on Sunday . I will tone down the use of proverbs as they contribute to my esotericness ( new word ) .

Said to my daughter yesterday " Once bitten , twice shy babe " . She had no idea what I was talking about . The Ian Hunter song was a favourite in the mid 70's .

Max at the end is Agent 86 . I loved the new movie ( also recommend Bill ( as good as Life of Brian imo ) ) .

Rocinante is Don Quixote's horse . My horse in the Internet and google .
