    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

    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.

    • PODCAST: Gold Coast

      I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back at the MCG and have a massive challenge ahead of them as they take on Premiership contender the Gold Coast Suns. What do you want to see from the Dees today?

    • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      Melbourne’s slow starts have been a troubling theme for a while. Against the Suns, they started slowly in both of their games, they trailed by 5.7.37 to 0.1.1 at quarter time at Peoples First Stadium in Round 16. This season, the story has remained the same and if the Demons fail to shake off this issue against the unbeaten Gold Coast Suns, they will be in serious danger of capitulating once again in their Easter Sunday showdown.
