    Jontee, I am a very keen Patrick Whiter: please elaborate...

    I am too, but you should take a look at the Patrick White Letters - two volumes. He was a mean, miserable [censored]

    Letters not diaries

    As a sidebar to this fascinating exchange I can offer a slogan I occasionally deploy having been married to an actress/ award winning author  and( obviously) meeting her cohort of friends ...." I am creative so normal standards don't apply to me"

    I believe Patrick White to be the sine qua non validating this observation.

    Allen Jones was a genius coach of young rugby players as well.

    Funny old world really

    Made me chuckle. I'm married to an award-winning author...I've been trying to teach her the basics of being a Housewife since I met her. That was a joke, Joyce...

    Ross Lyon likes to have instant success. Not sure he'll get that quickly with the current saints list.

    I mean last time he coached the saints he had Riewoldt, Hayes, DelSanto,Goddard and Montagna in his team. Not sure many current saints stack up to them.

    Then don't forget he just organised his own exit out of there

    oh well, looks like he'll be the 'aints problem now and not footy classified's problem. a silver lining at least.

    you're quite brilliant, ross

    I love it, it's going to sell a lot of papers. 

    It's really not my concern if it works out or not.

    Ha ha she tried to teach ME house keeping for the duration of the marriage

    By chance she was off to buy property in Bali when Covid hit so we ended up  sharing house again during "stay at home orders".... which was a very long time, but I had  learnt to do my share of house keeping ,while Covid brought our son to stay and he's a chef so...I was the "dishy" as well .

    No joking..(smile)

    All of this has been orchestrated by an ex coach. Has been talking to Lyon for months, from what I understand

    You could be onto something here.  One of his many nicknames is "Santa's Little Helper".

    Wouldn’t suprise me at all. Heard him on the radio last Monday morning.

    Apparently Ernie Merrick, ex Melbourne Victory coach and mentor for Ratten at St K has been scathing about the club.

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      Not long ago, the narrative surrounding Melbourne was steeped in pessimism. There was some concern among the pundits (and even some fans) that the club would arrive at the AFL’s Gather Round still winless, vulnerable to a familiar adversary in the Essendon Football Club, and facing significant scrutiny from an ever-critical media on a national stage. Things have changed.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      Steven King astutely identified the issues that had plagued the Melbourne Football Club over the past two and a half seasons when he auditioned for the newly created coaching role. The side that had claimed the 2021 premiership had become stodgy, slow-paced, and hesitant to take the initiative.
