  1. I was going for my afternoon walk to Ghoshs Paddock and saw Mark Williams conducting what looked like a goal kicking drill with several players. The players included Gawn, Trac, Brayshaw, Spargo, and Laurie. Some ladies from Korea were watching and all the players had a photo taken with the ladies after the drill finished. Mark Williams was then had a good talk with the Korean ladies.

  2. I was going for an afternoon walk through Ghoshs Paddock and saw Clarry Oliver training on Melbourne's training ground. He was running laps and seemed in good spirits as he replied to me that he was going well. He was there with someone else and they had footballs with them. He looked in good spirits, but I am unsure how far he is behind everyone else in conditioning.

  3. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to everyone. It is a tough Christmas for me because my 92 year old Mum died on Saturday 10th December from bladder cancer. We had a wonderful memorial service for Mum on Wednesday 21st December. Thank you to Andy and team for running a great website.

    Well folks, I've just come out of surgery or so it seems,  to have the middle lobe of my right lung removed because of a growth in the collapsed lung and my diaphragm piltrated (stiched down).

    Don't want to bore you all with the ****ty stuff, but I must say timing of this operation was of not my doing. 

    To my elation I was to be at the hospital at 6.30 am Friday to be prepped  for a morning procedure that would  likely last 4 hrs. So I'm thinking start at 9 finish at 1 gimee time to come around to watch the game. Didnt allow for the effects of the ongoing drip fed ketamine and oxycodone .

    So to say it appeared as a dream is an understatement. In and out of consciousness but managed to see the whole game (I think) unless I have died and gone to heaven.

    Good luck after your surgery, and I hope that you get better asap.

    Hi all.

    I posted in the fantasy section, but thought I'd post to the main forum in case people don't check that section.

    I will run a supercoach league for DLand members this year.

    If you are keen to join private message me with your email and I'll add you to the league.

    Given it is a max of 18 players it will be first in best dressed!

    I have sent my email address to you.

    I know how Barassi coached 111 games for the MFC since he was appointed in 1981-1985 and did not make the finals thus he coached 110 games in the 5 years.

    I believe he was allowed to be Captain Coach in the last game of the 1964 season but he was not officially the coach.

    Ron Barassi coached Melbourne in 1964 when Norm Smith was coaching Victoria.

    What is Melksham's status?  There were rumours he was looking elsewhere during the trade period, but obviously nothing happened there.  Is he still contracted for next year?

    Melksham was already under contract for next year.

  8. For all that asked my mum was a lot better today than yesterday,  though she will need some rehabilitation at the Peter James Centre.  It is great to be sitting 9/0 for the season. They are playing great team football. CARN THE DEMONS.

  9. A great win. On the way home from game, I was standing at taxi rank at Caulfield Station, and man waiting as well was former player Paul Callery. He asked what my memory was like, and I told the famous story when Vin Waite knocked him out, and Big Carl knocked out Waite. Waite got 4 weeks at tribunal, and Big Carl zero weeks.
