Machine guns at the ready. Get ready to duck.

I have always had the belief that Thompson bought the "program" from Geelong and Hird adopted the same at Essendon and Wallis was so far into it as well (who lost all the records?????). HOW THEY WERE ABLE TO STAY IN THE LEAGUE. That's right. Bums on seats = bonus's for AFL management. Alright. I still haven't got over it.

AFL are crazy. Their is no clash whatsoever. This directive of clash jumphers ( in my mind) comes from Channel 7 and some boffin wanting a more "black & white" vision.

He looks like a little kid at a dress-up party with a stick on moustache.

Thanks or that. Well that has to be me as I have been a member for 59 years this year. Seen the highs and lows. Never wavered from my support of this club.

While your at it please tell me what Mfcss means. Hope I've got it right.

Oh Garry. Please stick it up to Watson tomorrow. Will be interesting his take on the outcome today but I bet the nuf nuf wont have the b-lls to admit he might have got it wrong. Prove me wrong Timmy.

Never realized just how narrow Simonds stadium is. They have such an advantage playing there besides their crowd. Used to love the sixty's when they were losing and the crowd was leaving early and we would call out "going home to milk the cows". Good days were had.

Slightly off topic but I haven't noticed the "runners" much this season. Has anything changed that I am not aware of?

To be sure, to be sure. I always thought he bought "the package" to Essendope from Geebung.

Paid my MCC/MFC membership on the 21st Feb. Received an email shortly after confirming such and after calling and an email (which was never responded to) I still haven't received my pack. I don"t really need it but new stickers for the car would be great. Very poor form from the membership department. REALLY needs to be looked at. Come on Peter Jackson.

I agree with you. Oozes class.

We slept the week outside "T" section (city end) before the grand final. Was worth it in the end. Even stayed at the "G" Saturday night for the celebrations. We could in those days.

I renewed on 21/02 (after the Coll crap I didn't think I would) and paid thru the MCC. The footy club acknowledged my payment and advised that my card & scarf would take around 4-6 weeks. When I chased them on that they said they need to get the monies from the MCC and from then it may take 2 to 4 weeks. Mind boggling. P.S. This is my 59th year as a member MFC.

Hah. The stickers turn pink in no time at all. Why the Chinese ( I assume that's where they come from ) cannot get the red right is beyond me considering just about everything for China is "red".

More like a bruised ego as Oliver beat him so easily.

And North put in a medical report. What bulltish. Comical behaviour by North and the AFL. Bloody hell.

Rank perhaps.

I had the pleasure of working with Harry in the Rialto building (before the upgrade) packing and distributing "Footy Week". A great character and a genuine good guy.

Haha 640MD. The photo's won't stick onto the screen as the screen has whiteout all over it from previous mistakes. Some of the photo's are too big so just working on it.

Hey Old Demon Me. That banner lasted a long time if it was the original. We made back in the 60's up a mates driveway and when we lifted it up after drying we were in trouble as it printed on the ground. We had a room in the pavilion where we stored the banners but if they were wet we took them home to Carnegie and hang them up on the railway line fence the next day to dry. A real effort to take them to the next match on the first train along with bags of cut-up paper. I'm still trying to work out how to post old photo's of the cheer squad.

Always read Demonland but never joined until now. Had Xmas dinner last night with some old cheersquad members last night ( Bells Hotel Sth Melbourne) and one mentioned this topic. I have many photo's from the 60's which I will post and be great to catch up with lost friends.
