There was blood and a single gunshot but just who shot who ????? I'll bet you Jack Watts was involved in it !!!!!!

And I thought no one outside Marcellin would have heard of him.... !!!!!! ps...... we'd prefer not to mention Gangitano, never one of the best half back flankers we've ever had !!!

and Montagna for that matter. Another product of that font of Italian stars , Marcellin, which also produced Marco Bresciano and Franco Di Pavacqua.

Silvio Foschini....... Mario Bortolotto.........?????????

Roos would have been rapt to get Heeney but our bid on Heeney was an ambit claim and Roos knew that the swans were always going to match the bid. Our interest was in Petracca in that draft.

Which hasn't happened in the last three games !!! After the latest of those three, I said to my Collingwood supporting students " Welcome to the era of Collingwood never beating Melbourne ever again. " Have I gone too early on that prediction ?? Hope not !

There is no evidence that the Eagles did anything wrong. The players all said everything was okay. What more proof do you want than that ???

Well, people. This is the lucky numbered page of this thread for our Chinese friends ( no. 888 ). We can expect a rash of posts from Chinese demonlanders who want their pearls of wisdom to appear here. Apropos of rashes and China, it reminds me of one I picked up in Hong Kong a few years ago...... but that's a story for another time.

I have just arrived at the home of the big banana, Coffs Harbour, a cultural wasteland if I'm any judge. Melbourne supporters would be thin on the ground in these here parts. The average IQ has jumped since my arrival. I must say in it's favour that it's a thrill to know that the bananas in the supermarket have only travelled 3 kilometres to get there. Also the banana trees appear very lush and healthy indeed.

I think the addition of a large dollop of ice cream and some malt powder improves the banana milkshake immeasurably. Of course, with those things added it is no longer a common or garden variety milkshake. It is a thickshake

Interesting info about the history of Tasmania, thanks demonlanders. You learn something every day! I can't recall too much about Australian history from school. The only thing I remember is that Matthew Flinders sailed down the east coast from Sydney. He entered Port Phillip bay through the heads and went on to mount Martha. That surprised me because I had thought Martha had stayed home in England.

Is that the " near" canal or the other one ?????

Dear Jobe, " The time has come, to say fair's fair To be a gent, not be a lair. The time has come, a facts a fact, You don't deserve a Brownlow, Just give it back !!!!!! "

You've got me on that one Red. Dont forget, " Be it ever so humble, there's no place like Rome." Or should that be Romsey ?

Rome, of course, was named after Romulus. If it had been named after Remus, it would have been called Reme.

Spiros Arion !! Con the fruiterer !

Moonie, you just beat me. You are 100% right.

Didn't the Greeks invent sex ???? And the Romans introduced ...........women.

Melbourne will be a whole lot better when we have a world class population, say 15,000,000. And the sooner the better!!! Heck, São Paolo is the most populous city in the Southern Hemisphere. We can easily surpass them if we try a bit harder. We will all be better off if that happens. I have 50 square metres available in my back yard. More than enough room for 4 triple story town houses. Think how much money I can make doing that. Let's build a mass of apartment towers on the land currently occupied by the Botanic Gardens. It's only a miserable collection of old trees!!! Who needs them when there's money to be made building lovely housing close to the city?? I'll shut up now. It's time to take my medication. And write to my friends in Rome and tell them how liveable and fabulous Melbourne is.

This one is the " Clash " straight jacket. Predominately white but with a nod to the dees with the logo.

I know for sure that Zacka knew about the program and I have to assume the other players were the same. My source is someone who knew Zaharakis very well as a young man for six years and in whom he confided about this business, a person he respected and trusted. I don't doubt what she told me is absolutely accurate.

I will say this unequivocally that the oft repeated claim that Zaharakis was afraid of needles was a total furphy. Zaharakis' attitude was that he wanted to succeed or fail on the basis of his own skill and not to play under the benefit of some supplement or illegal enhancement. That is what he has done. He wanted no part of the " program". He is a man of integrity and quality. He could read the tea leaves and made his decision. The rest made the other choice.

If this is a dig at the self-absorbed narcissists, then I for one resent it !!!!

For what it's worth, the AFL will allow Jab to keep the Brownlow. The AFL's own protocols only disallow the winning of a Brownlow if a player was reported and suspended in that season. As Jab wasn't suspended, he holds onto the Brownlow. Who cares what some overseas body says, they're dealing with the AFL. On this dung hill, the AFL carry more weight.

Get your ducks lined up,then you won't get your ducks mixed up. Nor will there be any further f... ups. It's Scrooge Mc Duck, surely
