I agree on brown I was there for first half and I didn’t see anything much he got one free kick contesting the drop zone and gave away two doing the same good insurance but not very physical and poorly built too lean to be the bear in the square

Brown infringed directly in front misses

Brown’s second

Tomlinson looks poised works between fwd and back well

Plenty of demon fans here wind from south south east pitch in good nick im at the north eastern end looking west wearing a golf cap dlanders say hi cheers

"Not sure if he is a relative of Rod" do you mean me? No not a relative but have met him at Council functions such as Australia Day, and at the Half Moon. "There is also an Impartiality code which would seem that you are walking close to." - I'm not on Council and anyway someone who is accused by A Current Affair of dodgy dealings (allegedly) isnt suddenly a criminal. The code you refer to is that in relation to the Local Government Act. I think you are playing bush lawyer here. "our ward is conjoined with East Brighton. Why? Its miles away." council boundaries aren't decided by council - and anyway how is that evidence of Council being dodgy? "They stay on council for about as long as the Castros in Cuba. you mean Alex Del Porto - I agree but there should be term limits a State Government matter. Fundamentally you have assembled your gripes about ward boundaries, long term Councillors and dog off leash parks access to conclude the Council is dodgy. If you still doubt my credentials - ask me about the current Councillors at least 3 of which I served on Council with or know though other Bayside business I do. I am in what was once called Clayton Ward and have played football for the Hampton Rovers - hence my handle. I think the oval could be a good facility but it would need a lot of work to the surface and the facilities. Another reason for it might be to do with the strong demon supporter base in Bayside. This I conclude from the fans on the Sandy line for game day.

Still rubbish Damo. Council isn’t dodgy a business man on council got a run on a current affair for allegedly dodgy dealings. You stated that council was dodgy. As regards my mayoral term - don’t believe me -fine with me. What are your Bayside credentials? incidentally I think Elsternwick park has merit as a base.

I am an ex mayor of the city of bayside elsternwick park is in bayside where the VAFA used to have finals - still do for all I know adjacent is the former elsternwick Golf course now a park the bit about scandals and dodgy practices is rubbish city of Casey yes a councillor did feature in a recent current affair expose on his business but nothing to do with his council duties or council generally

Revolutionary training techniques 3km time trials and hill sprints getting the aerobics through skills and drills - someone tell my coach

Pay them on a per view basis it might lead to a lingerie league but if money’s the thing I wouldn’t complain

Queue discussions on how soft mfc is and why this kind of softness explains our performance

I’m not at all enthused or “ patriotic” about Victoria and the big v who gives a fig its a great State but beating another state so what is parochialism alive and well

I think Ed burston ended up a teacher at peninsula grammar big guy right? boy we bullied him cruelly which was not fair he was a nice guy but to a 15 year old fair game

Beef him up and then he can come back for pre season having slimmed down by 7 kegs and be right

Looks like a boy in the photo

Get up

Well said

I honestly can't understand why with all the competition from Internet TV streaming services Foxtel prices haven't come down to better compete with them. Its a cash cow Most of their base doesnt comparison shop so cutting the price except to get new customers doesnt make sense Foxtel (assuming it makes money) now funds some developing product Also better for foxtel that they cannibalise their market than some competitor

Its lame booing the departed. Surely better that we exhibit studied indifference boredom even. Put frost on him and watch him carry on

The past is often imagined to be better. Looked at objectively the players were far less athletic the skills generally poor the facilities were rubbish and the behaviour of spectators and players crude and often loutish. There were no tactics and little structure apart from "get on your man". Coaching was something else. The torpedo has disappeared apparently but frost hunt and dunne disagree and on the evidence it has a place. Drop kicks are gone but drop punts are much more reliable. New forms of goal kicking have evolved in the banana round the corner and the dribbler. We of a certain age hark back to the 60s and 70's more generally we live better longer and safer. I miss seeing league teams and the replay after the game but i couldnt record the game see highlights on youtube or see interviews with favourite players and so much more Sorry to rain on the nostalgia parade!

Sorry I'm late to this thread What's happened so far?
