He took about 4 pack marks that day, kicked them from anywhere. The full back was a Hawthorn player....

I saw him kick 6 goals in the first half against the Box Hill hawks last year. The boy has got it...

I ask the doubters, how long did it take for Hawkins, the current Don Daniher, Josh kennedy, Darcy Moore to come good???

If you're Italian you need a mirror anyway. Unions have been known to do very stupid things. My father always used to say it's because we inherited the British Trade Relations model where it's all about confrontation instead of co-operation. Go Dees. I mention Doug because I used to work with him at Tisdall in the early 80's. Doug is a keen Demon man...

All you need is a mirror. They must have them in Echuca. Do you know Doug Goldsworthy?

We already know that...

So you are just masquerading as a Bogan???/

you are truly a bogan... Anyway, his real name was post modern: ken handsell.

That made me laugh...

I wish something could put me to sleep when my wife snores like a full symphony orchestra.

Not trying to impress, young man, just responding to a question from Red and Bluebeard, by the sounds of it, the only other chap of culture on this site. ( Demonland is fast becoming Boganville! I am attempting to lead you bogans to the path of culture and beauty. )

It was written in the late 1920's. It's a Pagan Mass, if you like, it's full of passion and joy in life. It's exuberant like Verdi's Requiem is at times, nothing like Bach except in its sense of exhilaration, and, thankfully, nothing like Mahler's 8 which, to my ears is full of sound and fury, signifying nothing. The only decent music in it is the orchestral prelude to the Second Part. No, Janacek is more down to earth and passionate. There's really no-one to compare him to, you know. I suggest - if you have Spotify - to listen to it, or, there are performances on You Tube.

Maybe you'll be lucky enough to sing Janacek's Glagolitic Mass one day...

I'd rather go chopin...

Mahler Schmahler.

Ah, so you're a chorister, yes, no? Anyway, give me Bruckner any day. Or Bach, or Janacek. Now there vass a composer...

I hate Mahler 2: it's lightning hitting a scheissenhaus, the resurrection bit a regurgitation of Catholic mumbo jumbo. Give me number 7 and 9 any day. Or, Das Lied von der Erde.

No I’m not . You should have seen the sights at Casey yesterday. They could have come from Romsey I suppose. But they were frightening....

Resurrections only happen in Mahler Symphony number 2. You are such an uncultured hick, Moonshadow.

Medicinal intervention can help. Do you, by chance, have a sympathetic GP? Please don't shoot any more elephants and saw their horns. It is not kosher any more. Same with hippos. Settle down, Bitter, take a hobby, learn golf, learn Hungarian, learn how to cook your grandmother's favourite recipes. Meditate. Mindfulness. Eat less donuts. Read Dostoevsky. Get cultured. Ignore the Romsey riff raff. What more can I tell you.

Smoking bananas is so De Rigeur. Anyway, smoking is banned on public transport these days. They have CCTV cameras in every nook and cranny flat.

I am a lawyer. Can I help? My fees are nowhere like Robert Richter's, the great defender of the Catholic faith. just ask uncle George. The Vatican would be just about totally impecunious when he sends his Pell bill. Then again, Jesus saves, the Vatican is simply loaded due to his divine in financial interventions, a bottomless pit. Sorry I used the word bottom in relation to matters Sub Judice, as it were,

Chook, he was a centre half forward mainly...

Get em all. Celebrate in style. I can tell you're' Epicurus's only sonne...'

For what this is worth. I've recently returned from a trip to the Hilltops/Young/Mudgee wine producing areas of NSW. In Mudgee I stayed at a Motel run by an ex WA dude and we had a conversation about AFL footy. ( AFL footy is not big in Mudgee.) It turned out he is the brother of a certain West Coast Eagle backman who played in the Worsfold era. One of the things he said was that the Whoosh was also called the Chemist. Yes, that was/is his profession. He then said West Coast players were using drugs in that era. Not all of them, just most of them. He claims it was a well-known 'fact'. He mentioned the usual suspects, the dead one and those still alive, including a surfing type who played a few games for the Demons in 1996. He also said drugs were and are rife in the AFL. He said Essendon's biggest problem was they were caught. For what it's worth...
