Neil Crompton

Hey Uncle B, we are trying to build her confidence, not shoot her down. She cannot help it if she is a shy wallflower type.

An oldie and a new one from my favourite current aussie band. (er, the lead guitarist may or may not be related to me)

Your book must be full

Haha i will not have my (rare) tastes in music questioned by someone who dislikes the Stones and the Beatles, and who is seriously deranged to boot! And for your info, I didn't like the Ed concert (and still don't enjoy his music) but when you are in a place that is generally devoid of entertainment, you take what you can get!

I guess we are all different with our musical tastes. Me, I’m totally shocked that some on here don’t like the music of the Stones or the Beatles. And maybe a shock to a lot of you, I cannot get into metal at all. I took my family to see the Stones at the Sydney Olympic stadium, but couldn’t have been more disappointed in the sound - it was like listening on AM radio. Obviously I never saw the Beatles, but I did see Paul McCartney and Wings at the Music Bowl ( supported by the amazing Captain Matchbox Whoopee Band!). I saw Billy Thorpe and band and Jimmy Barnes and band performing on the same bill at the old Sydney Showgrounds and that was a blast. Loved U2 when I saw them live. When I was working in the Middle East I had the chance to see a number of live acts, ranging from Tom Jones ( cause there was nothing else to do - but he was great),Ed Sheeran (who I’d never heard of, but a friend wanted to go), cold Play (sensational) and the best concert I’ve ever, ever seen, Eric Clapton, over in Dubai. There was no light show or theatrics, it was just pure music - pure class. If there was one live performance I could see again, it would be his.

Certainly not a fizzier D. Just too f’ing hard for dummies like me. I did try though. Keep up the great work.

Didn’t we just let go one of these athletic “models” in Rossman?

Or you simply misspelled the word “sport”

I haven't eaten in Lygon Street for 40 years SWYL - but only because i packed my bags and moved to Sydney. I will also admit to supporting Carlton at the 1970 grand final over the Pies. Bravest thing i ever did - supported the blues while seated behind the goals amongst the Collingwood cheer squad. Got braver and braver after half time.

It’s funny, when I read one of BBO’s posts, I always “hear” the voice of the eunuch in game of thrones.

“Abstemious”???!!! Would love to know the meaning behind that and your current name, BBO.

May this thread RIP.

Uncle then, as Ian is Neil’s cousin

Toby McMullin - any relation to the Neil McMullin (also a grammar boy) who played for us in 1974 before Lee matthews destroyed his jaw?

Sorry, you know where to stick it D.

You know where to stick it D.

From a kennel to a home, Schache is now happy.

Can you confirm it’s not Schache?

I’d suggest that says more about Sam as a person than anything else. I think everyone wanted him to make it. And Melky is an import, so doesn’t have that same birthing connection

If a player is not good enough, it’s not his fault, then there is not much point showing “angst” towards him is there? Most DL’s realise this. I’m surprised you are surprised to be honest.

If we couldn’t turn Sam into a decent AFL footballer, how the hell are we expected to do it for Schache?

I hope we don’t move on till we reach 300 pages - then let’s burn it. 300 pages of questionable quality at best. Kind of reflective of LJ’s last half of the season.

I know Jacko is the better player, but emotionally I’m more upset at losing Weid.

I can’t remember the last time I heard those words in relation to Sam - but I believe we do, given how this trade period is shaping.

I think there is more chance of the Dees missing the 8 than Freo next year.
