We're not talkin riff raff supporters, Harry and I are aiming for the cream at the top...

Where I'm at is top secret. Asio is looking for me and Harry as we speak....Apparently Eddie thinks we're mounting a coup against him, or something. Eddie believes we're mounting a REAL lumpen Proletariat revolution at Collingwood....?‍♀️??

No, Phil Carman takes that prize.

Look on the bright side: there was the occasional gem: Peter Moore, Wayne Gordon, Henry Coles...

One man's airhead, another man's guru. There but for the grace of whatever god... Why waste time and energy bagging players?

That should be 'hoofed' animals...

Has a great charitable track record, our Warnie.

There is also great evidence that Hooved animals provide the very basis for soil degradation, which leads to erosion which leads to the drying out of whole landscapes. In next to no time, us White Fellas have done more to harm this land than the original inhabitants did in what some anthropologists now say is close to 50, 000 years.

Agree. Just saying I miss the good stuff Howe, Hogan, Watts and Kent did...

It was Ray Holden, 1984,1985...

Just watching a replay of the opening game of the 2015 season and can't help but be impressed by this man's performance. I know he retired in December 2016 citing Concussion Issues but I wonder does anyone have any inside info on whether there was more to the story. I loved him as a player, he looked totally committed to his new club on this showing and I hope his post AFL life has been happy and fulfilling. Also, does anyone know what he's doing these days. As an aside, of the team that played that day the following remain: Jetta, Brayshaw, Jones, Vandenberg - he made a mighty debut - Tom MacDonald, Viney and Salem. Retrospection can become a disease, but I do wish Howe, Hogan, Watts and Kent were still playing for Melbourne.

Yep, agree. The Guardian's track record about Assange, for example, is execrable.

I recall Terlich survived. He wasn't delisted until 2016. He was never a Roos boy...

More for the Arson Squad, direct from the mouths of Victoria Police: Victoria Police say the fires engulfing the eastern part of Victoria are not being treated as the work of arsonists, as claimed by a widespread social media campaign. In the past week, a Twitter hashtag #ArsonEmergency – mimicking the popular #BushfireEmergency hashtag – attracted thousands of tweets linking the fires to arsonists and casting doubt on the role of climate change in exacerbating the bushfires' severity. But authorities have moved to dispel those claims. "Police are aware of a number of posts circulating in relation to the current bushfire situation, however currently there is no intelligence to indicate that the fires in East Gippsland and north-east Victoria have been caused by arson or any other suspicious behaviour," a police spokeswoman said. The CFA incident controller in Bairnsdale, Brett Mitchell, backed up that statement on Thursday, saying that none of the recent fires in the East Gippsland area have been started by arson.

I thought he was pushed aside a bit too prematurely. I recall being surprised. I believe it had more to do with extra football activities....

He will have an answer. Hard right men and women who get their life via Rupert ALWAYS have THE ANSWER.

The neighbour I referred to yesterday took my wife aside and pointed out he is contacting the government because we had solar panels installed in December and because we have a huge oak tree at the back, unfortunately the bulk of the panels are on the Eastern facing part of the roof. He lives directly across from us, his kitchen is at the back of his house, i.e. furthest away from the panels. His problem is the 3 to 3.30 PM glare he claims he gets and he stated that the glare is heating up his kitchen - at the back of his house, though there is not one inch of his kitchen area which faces west, if you get my drift. This man is a climate change denier/fundamentalist and when I told him we were installing solar panels he said straight out, Climate Change is Bulldust. This man is no fool, he is in his early 80's, still of sound mind, but he has determined that our installation of solar panels - there is also at least a forty meter distance between our east facing wall and the west facing front of his house - is heating up the kitchen at the back of his house. That is the height and depth of Fundamentalism as Anything, as they say in the classics.

My Trolls Asson Squad post was aimed at Mr Jakovich and his ilk who believe the fires are the results of arsonists.

Then there are to 'Arson Trolls': https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2020/jan/08/twitter-bots-trolls-australian-bushfires-social-media-disinformation-campaign-false-claims? Obviously member of the Arson Squad.

Mate, mate, can't be right, I didn't read it in the Herald Sun, nor have I heard it from the infallible Font, Mr Bolt, Andrew....

Bernie Massey was a drop-kicker....

I lived in Erica Avenue. Then in Wattletree Road.

Which oval? I played cricket there in the early and mid 70's for Ewing....

Something like that. Another 'scientific' fact for climate deniers, no doubt...The mixture of cow poo and an arsonist is a very combustible recipe for total bushfire devastation. Discuss....
