I've bushwalked The Governor's Balls. You start it at Sheepyard Flat.

'agility ladders and Poles'? Tell him to give up on conquering Poles - I'm married to one...

Agree 100%: however, he has kicked a lot of goals, something we need someone to do every week. Everything is, however dependent on the wobblers called his knees.

If his knees stand up DEFINITELY.

Oh No! Not Diamond Jim again...

Metinks I might have inferred that, because, like I wrote, there were some bloody good players in that group. But, yes, you're so right about the depth of the mess we were in.

Not sure about 'the worst list'. There were some rather talented players there: Viney, Gawn, Dunn, Howe, Frawley, Watts, I'm sure I spied a very young Hogan, Davey, Jetta, Trengove, Pedersen, Clark, Sylvia, The Russian, Spencer, Dawes, Barry, Kent, Jones, Terlich,Joel and Tom McDonald, Garland, Davey, Rodan. T'would seem to me the problems might have had more to do with the Coach...

Norf or south?

I've grown accustomed to the bulbous state: eat drink and be merry, for tomorrow, we diet.

It means your computer is averse to Herald/Sun lies bulldust and propaganda. You have a good computer.

He obviously likes the Dees, however, he fails to acknowledge that Petty and Melksham won't be available for a while, and he hasn't acknowledged that a fully fit Brown and McDonald will make a difference. Also, not many people - so called 'critical experts' - have taken into account the horrific plague of injuries to key Melbourne Forwards was absolutely crucial during the Finals which they lost by a margin of 9 points..., not to mention the assault on Brayshaw and the suspension of Van R...

I can picture a Biffen party: Pymms and cucumber sandwiches. OH, then a glass of Pinot. Swank! Was that a work of fiction about flatulence?

Please stop eating cucumber sandwiches.

My wife and I have just returned from a 20 day break in Goolwa to try to regain some peace and sanity after my son's death. I was off air, but when we got back the Maynard Catastrophe hit the headlines again. I love the way the media makes him out to now becoming the victim of the change in rules ---NOT. Anyhow, we attended the 2nd Birthday celebrations of my one time best friend's daughter's daughter, if that makes sense. I sat next to an old chum, an E Colli Wobbler man, and he started telling the sad story of John Greening's demise at the hands of an O'dea or so - all in a day's work. He said it was Greening's 99th game, that he was destined to becoming THE GREATEST FOOTBALLER OF ALL TIME but when he returned 3 years later, he was but a shadow. I know the story - I was working at La Trobe Uni at the bookshop at the time and recall the kerfuffle and rightful indignation. My sympathies were and are with Greening. ( By the way, our daughter graduated in a Psychology Degree with Honours at the same Uni last Friday. ) I then asked Mr E Colli Wobbler how he felt when Maynard assaulted Brayshaw. He replied, There was nothing in it. I rest my case. E Colli Wobbler fans are as mad as snakes.

Cept for '76, when, under Skilton, we missed out on the finals by a Robert Walls after the siren goal against Geelong...

Any news on Kade Chandler???

Neither have I heard or read any fuss that the Cats, Premiers in 2022 didn't even make the finals, despite their eternally favourable fixtures.

Biffen meets Beelzebub. In Prahran, of all places. How mundane. Is you and the devil still pacted a la Faust?

1958: I was eight, had lived in OZ for 2 years, Western Suburbs, my grandma was one of the first to own a TV in North Sunshine and every Saturday afternoon I took my brother and sister to my Oma's to watch Zig and Zag etc. In late September Oma turned on the TV and there was a game I knew nothing about in progress. We watched till the end. I sensed the team in Red and Blue was losing and naturally, being a graduate from the Academy of Underdogs - being wog or such in 1958 was a tough gig - I barracked for the losers. It was, of course, the 1958 Grand Final. Been a fan ever since, especially when my friend at Our Lady's Sunshine asked who I barrack for in 1959 and I replied, Melbourne. He said, Oh. They are a very good side...

Whats that in our money/

Yeah, Tony Anderson, one of my all time greats.

Then again, Chook, add Melksham and Petty to the 2 finals side, say Brayshaw was not the victim of common assault, and Van R not rubbed out, he would have been correct. Luck is such a big part of it because, in the end, not much seperates the 4 really good sides...

Really? You maybe read the Herald Sun and Robbo, or you listen to the Cornfield a wee bit too much for your health of mind. 😎😍🥰

Corney Cornes...

Indeed: got home from delivering a meal to my son's bereaved partner, walked da dog - if you don't know how to do it, I'll show you how to walk de dog - Mick Jagger - and checked and for a while I taut, as we'd say in Island ( sic), I'd been banned again. Then I see the whole post has Bermuderised. Who says there ain't no UFO's?????
