Mazer Rackham

Alf "Fiery" Fricker! Could hoist a bag of wheat onto his shoulder with one arm. And "Harmful" Harold. Victorian Railways Commission Tug of War champion 5 years running. He used to be our local night soil man. All the kids were in awe of him. Those were the days. Seems like yesterday. (give or take 150 years)

Well, nobody's perfect. (Except for certain posters not a million miles from here.) We are on our way to being respected, feared, and other good things along those lines. We may have a certain measure of that already. What a long way we have come. Misson is part of that journey and can take a healthy slice of credit for dragging us up from the cellar with his knowledge and expertise. It doesn't just happen. People have to put in. Hard to bag on that. Thanks Dave, for your commitment to a potentially lost cause, and for your part in the club's rise. Good luck, and don't forget to take a warm jacket.

I was a doubter. I was okay-ish with the deal on a "buy one (Hibberd), get one free (Melksham)" basis. At games I would call out "that's the good one" when Hibberd got the pill. But turns out we got two good 'uns. It's good to be wrong!

Misson accomplished!

I can't stand basketball but found this very interesting. And reminiscent of something ....... A chaotic style has this high school team topping 100 points — and driving opponents crazy

And another one! Heart of the Jaguar | Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated

And another one! Jaguar Lives! trailer

Yeah OK but after Brexit we will relocate to Holland. A permanent base with training facilities to die for. And it's closer to the MCG than Casey.

Oh damn! And there I was believing the hype

It's their grand final

Then after quarter time he'll go back to his old ways and we'll cruise in to an injury-free 15 goal win

Would that make it twins then? First Daisy Pearce, now Melksham. I hope this isn't contagious.

On the subject of Jesse Watch, from the bigfooty Freo pre-season training thread... On the sidelines, boom recruit Hogan continued individual skills, running and repeat-effort work in his comeback from a navicular stress fracture. "Jesse's going good. He's started being drip-fed into drills in the last couple of days and he will look to be in full training in the coming weeks," Fyfe said. (Later reports have him on track for round 1.)

Not any more, Bugg just retired!

Meanwhile ... Hunt suffered from a textbook case of "second year blues" (maybe third year if you want to get technical), and if he's adjusted to his bulked up frame, may get back to his frantic dashing runs of 2017. I think he and Tracc in '18 suffered primarily from being feared by oppo coaches and had extra work put into countering them. I trust our coaches are also up to the challenge.

Spot on. Thank god there are SOME sensible people on here. The NT town "Alice Springs" does not exist. It is actually a secret Chinese base on the dark side of the moon, primarily used to insert arsenic into vaccines. It was rented out to the Saudis, who sublet it to the Iranians who then recruited Syrians to fly planes through the twin towers, which also did not actually exist except in doctored photos.

I am one of them. So watch it.

The famous demonland poster? Can't see it. Unless he's drafted as a rookie.

he's been very chirpy at training the coaches are sure to throw a few crumbs his way i expect we'll see him flying at some stage

Nice euphemism. Other euphemisms in play: "Ballwinner" "Stakeholder" Not that there's anything wrong with that

We should look into that. It's a lot less than we're paying C'wood for Gosch's.

Still can't kick 50m

Master Po: It is just the notion of social evaluative contribution based on formative reasoning that differs and then it might progressively change to interpersonal evaluative judgements - depending on one's own haste for that change, itself. Grasshopper: uh .... right. Do you reckon Jesse is going to kick a bag when he plays us?

They say on dark nights ... just like that one ... about 3am on the Freo foreshore, when the DJ has packed up his gear and gone home and the night is still and quiet, you can hear the sound of a power forward ralphing into the lapping waves below

There's one where he's wearing a Dockers jumper. An act of rash stupidity that a number of young men these days unfortunately indulge in.
