I'd rather that - if that's what boys and girls want to do - than pay for the other crap I mentioned.

Get him. he's a German. Neitz, Mueller, Schwartz, I could go on.

Jaysus, don't talk to me about wasting tax payers' money. Look at the third rate Malcolm Turnbulldust has churned out for us, look at the money spent on Tony Abbottoir's joy flights, Bromwyn's helicpoter, Barnaby's pork barrel relocation, we won't even mention the billions spent on concentration camps on Manus Island and Nauru.

T'would make my day if he came to the Demons.

This makes very interesting reading as Captain Schultz would say. Or was it Maxwell? The bottom line is the AFL mafia can tinker with the draft and bailouts all they like. It WILL NOT be an even competition until they make the draw an even proposition and not a lottery - god knows how they'll do that - till the 6 day break anomaly is evened out and the draw doesn't simply favour teams who pull the biggest crowds.

Heard Paul Roos on The Conversation Hour with Epstein today. He said if you'd told a Demon supporter at the beginning of the year we'd win 12 games and end with a percentage of 105 he'd take that. He also pointed out the huge impact the loss of Jones, Gawn, Viney and Hogan made ( not to mention how they all struggled for a few weeks when they got back ) and, last but not least, that on most weekends we fielded the youngest side in the competition. He then said if Melbourne doesn't perform next year, then we'll be able to legitimately complain.

This would be the Trade of the Century for the Demons. I like Frost's run but he is limited. I also stress that were Frost to remain I'd also be happy. Many limited players have been involved in premierships: Graeme Wise, Sheedy's love child Kevin Walsh etc etc

Actually, man, I froze. I do a lot of walking on an arthritic knee and as I shivered and swore at my misery I kept dreaming of Brunswick Heads. Very mundane, I know, but in the end, us members of the SSS are merely mortal who just wanna have a good time.

Ah, Wreck, how disappointing, you've fudged. Maybe because Nutbean nailed you?.... Not to mention the so-called Spencer Street Socialists. Give up, accept reality, play Somewhere over the Rainbow and get nostalgic about the good old days when misinformation and propaganda ruled the world. The problem is there are people who are not afraid to call bulls..t bulls..t now.

Didn't think it was. And I got the last few words wrong...

'Fair is foul and foul is fair and hover in the thin brown air?'

No, Climate Change denier, silly sausage: the answer is: 'Somewhere over the rainbow, weigh a Pie.' Shirley Temple...

Wasn't there a Railway Station in Spencer Street once? By the way, if they weigh a whale at a Whaleweigh Staion, where do they weigh a Pie?

Don't like the sound of my brethren, the Teutonic Knights, being typecast as barbarians, Earl. I'm still recovering from the Russian Front....

Rather a typo than a trypo....

Vaguely - it's been that long since I've seen it too. I do, however recall the Palace scene from Ivan the Terrible. Vhat a composer of film, we might say. I've always loved the music Prokofiev wrote for these films, Alexander Nevsky in particular. Eisenstein was born to a middle-class family in Riga, Latvia (then part of the Russian Empire in the Governorate of Livonia), but his family moved frequently in his early years, as Eisenstein continued to do throughout his life. His father, Mikhail Osipovich Eisenstein was born to a German Jewish father who had converted to Christianity, Osip Eisenstein, and a mother of Swedish descent.[1][2] His mother, Julia Ivanovna Konetskaya, was from a Russian Orthodox family.[3]According to other sources, both of his paternal grandparents were of Baltic German descent. I'll take him as a German then. Also Sviatoslav Richter.....

So Einstein becomes Eisenstein. You bin watching Battle of Potemkin way too often, or, maybe Alexander Nevsky...

There, I just did.

Somehow or other, my dear friend Jara, Wrecker will lampoon yours truly and he'll ask you to sink to the bottom of a bath tub. That's science in these climes, my boy, that's science. Copernicus is still waiting for Nero to stop fiddling. That's also science in these climes.

They couldn't afford exile, by the sound of it. You must have been a terror, Ethan.

It's hardly an argument, Wrecker, unless you want to start another one. Andrew and Steve, as we all know, speak nothing but the truth. In fact, I reckon you guys are probably their scriptwriters.

What now, Jara, are you trying to tell me Andrew Bolt and Steve Price are bull*hitters? Why I never....

No wonder he's a LEFTIE.

He is The Great Suc-cincter!

I resemble that!
