I have found comfort in the "fisted forever" era with this guy. A must read for me every week for a decade and a half and genuinely the funniest stuff I read.

Adam : Thanks!!  This guy is a LEGEND.

    Slightly off topic,  but wouldn't mind some opinions and advice if anyone has the time or knowledge. In my recent retirement I found myself with time to be in a bookshop the other day and was looking at Titus O'Reilly's books. I don't know how many he wrote but there were 2. I love short stuff I have read from him in the papers etc. Are his books any good? I have not been an avid reader in the past as I never had time, so I was wondering if they were worth it?

    Titus’ books are classic. Highly recommended.

    After that, it’s the Nobel Prize for Literature!

    I put a bell on my cat's collar to warn birds that he was around, but he learned to hold it in his mouth so it wouldn't ring.  For this clever feat he was nominated for The No Bell Prize.

    He later graduated to stalking chickens and was thus awarded The Pullet Surprise.

On Saturday the Suns, buoyed by 3 wins on the trot, face the Dockers in a clash crucial for both teams' aspirations this season.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

    • REPORT: Sydney

      A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.
