OD your a basketball fan? I thought the Melbourne Football Club has been a train wreck 🤔 lately. But then I have seen what's happening to the WNBA, WOW. The best soap opera I have ever seen. How too destroy a sport in ten stupid moves 😳 🤔 😐 😒 😕 😤 😳

Does that involve bananas and alpacas?

You're still allowed to drive? How is that possible? Avoid anything red and blue, anything else is fair game 🎯

Next month the Mighty Black Swans will take on the V in Perth. As a young fella I loved watching the glorious Sandgropers beating the Eastern States teams. I don't have the same feeling when it comes to AFL club football of course. I sure my father was going to disown me when I started to supporting Melbourne. He was not a great supporter of the East. I on the other hand is much more open minded. I do miss the old fella, particularly whenever Melbourne beats the Dockers, my phone calls to him singing "It's a Grand Old Flag" is something I will never forget. Although he did soon stop taking my calls whenever the Dockers lost to Melbourne.

I had to work on my disappointment about both my AFL and WAFL teams recent performances. It can be hard having one eye Red and the other eye Blue at times.

Have I missed anything important while I was on a break from the AFL? I did post a comment as to have I missed anything important but 5he post vanished for some unknown reason 🤔

Husbands need to be supportive

We had to wait for the new CEO, so why not also wait for the new Senior Coach? IMO our new appointments don't seem to prioritise Melbourne. But I guess the 2026 AFL season will show if the right decisions 🤔 have been made.

Great news! He is a coach I can fully support. Bananas 🍌 for everyone 😀

True, I wanted Goodwin gone. In my view we needed new leadership. But now I worried we are about to get more ex Collingwood staff. That never ends well for us.

I don't think Goodwin is coming back.

Will not be the first time, Red.

As long as the new coach doesn't come from either Collingwood or Essendon, I don't really care about their previous club associations. As regards to Collingwood, I give you Mark Needle. IMO nothing more needs to be said.

You make some good points Playing a Grandfinal against the Eagles on Collingwood's home ground must be worth a three or four goal headstart! That one of the major advantages the Melbourne based AFL teams has in winning a premiership. As a Melbourne supporter I can accept this advantage, although Melbourne has not won a premiership at the G in the past 61 seasons. But that another issue. Buckley's biggest claim to fan was he lost a Grandfinal by under a goal. Well in football there is no prizes for coming second, it's winner takes all. The same argument could be made about the Eagles having an extra free kick in front of goals or a point becomes a goal, then they win by 12 or more points. It's football, there is a certain amount of luck involved in the outcome. Fortune favours the brave. I just a simple country boy from the West, who wants Melbourne to win every Grandfinal it can. I can't see that happening if we recruit more coaches etc. from Collingwood, particularly Nathan Buckley who is a rusted on Collingwood supporter. IMO Collingwood underperformed during his time as their head coach, that's why they got rid of him. Real success in the AFL is the number of premierships a club/coach/player can win. Unfortunately, Melbourne has only won one premiership in the past 61 seasons. However, I feel the Melbourne board considers success as playing finals football, that is why we are looking for a new head coach.

So we are interviewing six candidates for our Senior Coach, one of the candidates is Nathan Buckley. The club wants someone with atleast eight years experience at a state league or AFL level. It appears the club is not looking for successful coaches as they are interviewing Nathan Buckley 🤔 He only ever lost a Grandfinal to the Eagles. Our recent track record with recruitment from Collingwood has been a disaster 😕 I starting to feel this is another John Todd moment to me.

One day you accept Mactcha Drinks instead of Banana based ones, next thing you're a Collingwood supporter. Once you start down the dark side you don't know where it will end. It's better to stay in the light and not listen to others who are peddling misinformation.

So you support another 57 year plan by Melbourne?

LOL there is no prizes for being second

One senior coach has just been appointed (West Perth) and another one to go (Melbourne)!

It's just we have another 57 year plan for our next Premiership. So we can afford another 56 years of underperforming with our the need to change the plan.

Does it come in a Suger Free version?

There is only one song that I know the words and can sing loudly! And that is ITS A GRAND OLD FLAG. Is there any other song I need to know?

I did make a Banana 🍌 Smoothie 🥤 for dinner last night. When Corporations fail us, we have to adapt.

Banana Ice Cream would be great but I only wanted a Banana Smoothie 😔

I tried to buy a Banana Blitz (Muzz Buzz) but unfortunately they run out of Bananas AGAIN. Life can be so cruel as both my football teams are disappointing me and I can't buy a Banana Drink. I blame Uncle Bitters as he's left us all to suffer on our own!
