Neil Crompton

im watching it now on kayo.

Does anyone know who was acting captain yesterday?

I agree he had to go but please do not wish any further trouble on Clayton. Hopefully we gave him his wake-up call and he welcomes it with open arms. In the long term, I hope he is able to look back and thank us for this new start.

I don’t believe Kentland got any votes today OD. But Kentfield sure did.

Have to disagree with you ado. I thought JVR was pretty good today - showed great athleticism and leading patterns I thought. Very different looking player than last year. But do agree re Windsor and Jeffo - but need to rethink their commitment to get the ball. However, Kentfield impressed me. He looks a mile ahead of Jeffo.

Sorry Picket, but I'm seeing so much more in Kentfield than Jeffo.

I thought Heath really struggled with the boundary throw ins. The throw ins are all short, yet Heath has been behind Xeri every time. Needs to be smarter i think

Interesting to see who they name captain. Lever? Rivers? (Probably not if his game time is to be managed)

Did Picket write this?

..or...........?....

.. and what happens when Dawn breaks?...

..and you are hoping you might be called upon as a dance partner...???

Firstly, an apology. I no longer have any idea of who's playing where - and I also have to admit I am not a big fan of metal - so I guess I've now offended about 90% of posters interested in this thread. But I do love music generally and have a great love of lyrics in particular and used to write whenever i had the time. I've now - with the help of AI - been able to produce the music for my lyrics. So i now have a bunch of songs that i'm happy with - but I'm biased, so was after some feedback (good or bad) if you have the time. I've attached three songs you are welcome to listen to. Cheated (remix).mp3 One Stray Spark (remix2).mp3 Been Down that Road (R&B).mp3

here endeth the lesson...

You guys (and some gals) are all party poopers. We will be playing finals this year! I have no doubts at all.

@hardtack and @Tarax Club - your mentioning of the Captain Matchbox Whoopie Band, brings back forgotten memories, so thank you. I did enjoy the Captain. I think the last time I saw them was at the Myer Music bowl where they were supporting Paul McCartney and Wings.

Hey @Ghostwriter , I remember when you originally posted that info about Luker's height, but I thought you said then that when he woke up he was 196cm and 194cm when he went to bed. (Could be just my memory playing tricks though - but would be good if that were true).

I think we will finish somewhere between 6th and 10th - not sure how many wins that will relate to. We may start slowly but I believe we will come home strongly.

... or just a current thing?

is this your opinion PF or have you been told this?

Rjay, when I was at Monash Uni in the mid 70's, there was always the Friday lunchtime concert in the lounge adjacent to the cafeteria. Split Enz played there a couple of times. The second time they played, Neil Fynn was in the band. My reaction? I hated their music, I hated their outfits, hated their makeup and their antics. Obviously i'd never seen anything like them before. My attitude to them has never changed - but really luv Crowded House.

Please explain why? At the moment I cannot see what Mt Scopus's funding has to do with our development at Caulfield?

This farewell for Oliver - at 101 pages and counting - is longer than Dame Nellie Melba's and KISS's farewells combined. I think I can easily summarise the gist of what has been discussed over the last 101 pages: yes he was - no he wasn't yes he is - no he isn't yes he will - no he won't. I think that about covers it. But just for @picket fence, he WAS a champion, one of the greatest Dee's ever. But sadly the last two years have shown how far he has fallen, and the fact that the Club was prepared to pay him to play elsewhere really says it all. Time to move on i believe - just like Clarrie has.

Well done on your 50th D. Like 48 of the previous 49, I have NFI.
