And I used to work for NAT as you would remember. See you 20th.

A great Christmas for everyone and lets hope "third time lucky" to add another cup.

West Coast figures have plateaued out from being right up there on "frees for" which used to really bug me. I suppose being such a poor team takes them out of the umpires eyes. Still I cannot understand the Bulldog figures and I imaging three quarters of the Woods plus figures are driving by their crowd. Intimidate the umpires is their motto.

And here I am at 4:30am. Haha

Here we go. Another 4 day weekend for a lot of people. Mind you, everyday is a holiday for me having been retired for 10 years.

If we have a Monday arvo (Collingwood) yet they don't have one registered on their game slot.

Yeah. Bonus at year end.

Get stuffed Rob. Haha

Guilty as charged.

I remember it very well.

So very sad to hear the news. I heard things were dire when he was unable to attend the 50 year+ members a month or so ago. My thoughts to his wife Cherryl who was his rock. HE WAS MELBOURNE.

At least it's not cold and wet tonight so his selections just might be right for the playing conditions. I really expect a massive improvement tonight. Even playing/kicking badly last week we only lost by a few points and if there were a couple of extra minutes could well have won. How would the media handled that.

So good. So good.

Just watched the 2000 Melbourne V Paper baggers on Foxtel with the volume up quite loud. I missed it back then as I was in Brisbane for work and recall being warned by the hotel management to keep the noise down as neighbours were complaining. After singing the song with the team I woke up around 10:30 pm wondering where I was. Oh dear. I made a comment during the game and just watching it again now I said the same. Malcolm Blight just really HATES Melbourne and puts us down every time. His anti- Melbourne stance is repeated today with the current crop of commentators. Frustrating to listen to ( looking at you Brian Taylor) but just why? I realise we have been c--p for years but playing good footy now. Oh well the best we can do is keep winning and that will erk them even more.

And Toby just nutts another one.

It sounded like it.

Even back then we always had an older supporter base. Late 50's & 60's we had a lot of younger supporters but slowly they just gave it up as the team wasn't successful. Great to see so many young faces in the crowd now. Success breeds new supporters.

50's & early 60's we were the biggest along with Colliwobbles.

And that's part of the reason why they are where they are. History of very poor picks. Long may it continue.

Still the longest competing professional club of any football code in the world I believe.

Not where I live but money talks was his response. Haven't checked with the local banks yet if they are missing any.

Same in my neck of the woods. My large flag goes up this weekend as my neighbour is a Colliwobbles supporter and doesn't have one.

Don't give him any ideas. Let em suffer.

Along with the weather and umpires we only lost by less than a goal. Still they are both good players.

Care factor???????
