It was a short story?

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 


Ross Lyon has fallen back in love with the Saints

Ross Lyon has run out of cash

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. 
Still holds some sway down there at The Moorabbin Asylum 

 

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

  • PREVIEW: Carlton

    Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

  • REPORT: North Melbourne

    I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

  • CASEY: Werribee

    The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

  • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

    The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
