I'm excited by the training news thus far. It would seem Preuss, the Kolo and Sparrow and Co have a lot to offer. Then there is the massive addition of May. I'm also excited by the news about the once very thin Smith, the son of Sean, and very excited about the smoke signals from Jeffrey Garlett..

VFL...

I think I see a major Maxi coup in the tea leaves here.

I'm surprised Smith is still on the list. It should be acknowledged, though, that he'd just come back from injury before the Finals. Then again, he gets injured a lot.

Afraid so. It means - especially in the case of Coco pops - a disposition to just keep indulging in sugar. No wonder we allowed him to seek sweeter pastures. MFC,-11, let this be a warning to you. Do plain simple porridge for breakfast. You DO NOT, repeat, YOU DO NOT want to end up comatose under a table in an ice cream parlour. Be warned.

Always liked Pert. My brother is/was a Fitzroy man, I went to many games with him. I've just watched his speech and I like him even more. I like the future of this club, it's in good hands.

Well, what about the ones you are game to put in print? Stop teasing...

I've heard he had coco pops for breakfast....

I'd say so, why else did they let him go?

No, ODee, just intuition.

For what it's worth, there has been chatter about Hogan for a couple of years now. I was heartbroken when it looked as though he was gone, but I've come to the conclusion that the 'Brains Thrust' behind Melbourne's recent success felt the Melbourne Football Club was better off without him. I can only assume their knowledge and insight is keener and sharper than ours, I also assume they had their reasons for brokering his decision to terminate his contract.

Used to be a great cinema, the Ravioli. Camberwell junction, I believe. I recall negotiating it before traffic lights, when men were men and women wished they weren't.

That was before he hand-balled it to an opposing media outlet.

Me too.

I've just sprayed this site with Dettol and an Anti Fungoolie Cream.

A biffhead;nothing more nothing less.

h He looks like Charles' real father.

Also, having watched a few Casey games near the coaching hub I'm not surprised some of them needed to have instructions translated from English into Bogan..

Yep, true, got my Kys mixed up with my Shepps. I lived between Barooga and Berrigan in 1981 till 1983, worked for a winery in Echuca financed by a Ky doctor.

So you're a Ky boy? That means you've got no tonsils, appendix or anything else a certain physician could remove within an ever widening radius?

He wrote the soundtrack for 2001 apparently...

Good, another German.

Oi weh, now we're - or some of us - are judging players by their facial structure. next we'll have a Phrenology department.

Of those playing only Jones is left in Demon colours. Frawley - who looked good that day- Dunne, Trengove - another star that day - and Watts who was just plain awful to very good in patches, mostly ducking and pretending to be involved - are left, the latter playing elsewhere. Tapscott was terrific and Jamar and Moloney were the prototype for the various Gawn armchair rides. It does amaze me that they fell apart in Geelong later that year so there must have been a helluva lot of backroom shite at the time. Yes, what a player was Davey. Supremely gifted and committed.
