Monbon

His lawyers have rung the police.

I hope this isn't the proverbial Moz, but for the past two weeks I open DL with dread - then again, that's the kind of fella I am, I must be Polish or something - hoping that it ain't gonna produce catastrophic news about accidents on the Training Track. Thus far, with the usual shall we say minor mishaps, our boat is afloat. In the meantime, I also note that the injury/operation - dictation dictation dictation, three sausages went to the station - tally at Geelong follows a similar path to our post Premiership season. Without wishing the NOT Wells on someone, long may it continue. With their perpetual Home Draw advantage, they are not Cats at all, simply spoiled poodles.

On yer bike!

Oi weh. No wonder I could not fathom ANYTHING about this puzzle. I even consulted Maimonides, Guide for the Perplexed. Got nowhere.

Played cricket there on Cup Day in 1967, recall Pentridge hovering to the north, the stench of Ryan's hanging still in the air.

What's wrong with that? It just confuses not only us but the opposition...

About time someone reminded Dlanders!

Don't ya hate romper stompers!

None of them have heard of Stravinsky.

Then again, the sky was hardly blue yesterday...

red backs can kill ya...

Yes. Today's Oi Weh's about Grundy are typical DL propensity to pull gloom from a clear blue sky.

I hope that by the season's end if we have been struck by various plagues and infamies and crook justice from umpires, my post won't be seen as Monbon does The Moz...

Um, and I emphasize, um, I am getting a 'vibe' that the sins of 2022 have been addressed by both the recruiters and the sheer luck of injury incidence. Fingers crossed the latter continues, and I feel so much for Sean's son who seems to have been cursed... The vibe I am getting is similar to the Richmond response to falling after premiership success. Posters have mentioned Griffith and his 'sins' compared to his 'defector', but in the end, injury management is a contest between the gods and sheer natural serendipity. Touch wood, the tea leaves seem benign at the moment. Long may they continue to fall this way. More than that, the vibe from the players feels better than at any time in my long years as a Melbourne supporter.

And though he didn't live up to the hype, he played some decent footy for us in his later years, especially 1973, 21 games, 24 goals 6 Brownlow Votes.

He's been poised to deliver for 7 years now... I love the guy, I watched him kick a bag and mark everything at Box Hill in his first year - his team mates were being slaughtered at Geelong at the same time - Roo's last year - but the bottom line is every season after that was 6 years of 'promise'...

As long as salmon doesn't become salmonella...

Corelli, Casals, Cluytens, whatever. I am a genius, as per your summation, I am very intelligent and the proof is I swear a lot - apparently it is one of the symptoms of higher intelligence - but I have never been good at cryptics. I find life cryptic enough, thank god I was born a coptic...

And the music one???

The horrors they faced are basically unspeakable. My heart goes out to them. War is total bulldust.

Very moving. I love that he's had the courage and faith to live his life and face the dark moments which in the end, confront us all. I have total respect for him.

Why thank you, maam, aw shucks. I've lived and breathed classical music since my dad's record of Beethoven's 9 - about the Brotherhood of Man- permeated my thick skull as I lay moaning with a migraine. I was 14. A confirmed Manfred Mann, Rolling Stones devotee till then. True story.

I'se here...

Let me guess, if I may? Our daughter has nominated this same restaurant as her birthday celebration event later this month.

I'm looking forward to a real one: great violinists, cellists, conductors, none of this pseudo music junk...
