Unlike some recent Demon Forwards - I emphasize 'some', I am referring to a recent defector who I saw kick a swag against Box Hill, who marked 3 in 20 after that - this lad can hold a mark. A commodity not to be sneezed at.

More to the point in this discussion, is the simple fact that Melbourne's forward entries were a bloody shambles and the ostriches who plan the Forward Line strategy need to learn that only fools keep making the same mistakes with an expectation that some day, something might change. Here's hoping. And as for Jackson delivering Bell's expectations? Let's wait and see, but methinks he's doing something akin to spitting into the wind.

Which means ipso facto, the two Pells are not related.

Made me chuckle. I'm married to an award-winning author...I've been trying to teach her the basics of being a Housewife since I met her. That was a joke, Joyce... -

It began thus, Jontee mentioning Patrick White's letters: Roger Mellie Life Member 2.6k Posted yesterday at 08:04 AM (edited) I am too, but you should take a look at the Patrick White Letters - two volumes. He was a mean, miserable [censored] Edited yesterday at 08:58 AM by Roger Mellie Letters not diaries -
Though, I can recall kicking 2 goals in a final against West Footscray in 1965, when my direct opponent was Laurie Sandilands. I also remember returning the figures of 6 for 18 off 8 overs, after getting 2 for 11 off the first 2 overs. I won the bowling average that year, after winning the All-rounder award the year before .Ah, the good ole days when I could still run and imagine the Demons would reign forever.

I'm getting to that half-blissful stage where I can't remember what day it is, let alone bringing my wallet to the supermarket to buy dog food, and, just maybe, a bottle or two of Jacobs Creek. As they say, ignorance of what my partner was barking at is bliss.

I never finished Voss. Carver was a short story writer who died in 1988 or so. He, more than anyone, has influenced my writing...He was great at celebrating the ordinary things of life: bottom line domestic stories... -

It's like that, I guess. I am a huge Lou Reed and Raymond Carver fan. When I read biographies of them, I wish I hadn't. I have Marr's White biography.... -

After listening to the SEN segment above, it seems Lyon was not the shafted one...Just more of St Kilda's notion of how not to go about appointing coaches, witness Watson, Blight, Thomas etc etc -

Mind you, WUL, the Demons notion of Governance left a wee bit to be desired as well from 1965 until 2016... -

I had such high hopes for Weidemann - I can't see how Schache is not an improvement - he can take a mark at least. -
Wikipedia is saying Schache is a Melbourne Demon. Also saying Weidemann is a Bomber. Schache has played 69 games for 77 games, Weidemann 59 games for 62 goals.
