Settle down folks - it was a simple suggestion. And by the way, as a moderator, the page count visible to me also includes deleted posts which means that the thread has officially reached 1,000 pages. Congratulations go to Mr. Leg who tells me that he initiated this thread as a humanitarian gesture to save the western suburbs of Sydney from Chico Rolls, dim sims, potato cakes, French Fries and flavoured malted milk shakes (other than banana flavour).

I have just read this piece and it truly resonates with me on several levels. Although, the wisdom of Steven May’s recruitment will ultimately be determined by what he achieves on and off the field for the club in the future, his story puts paid to any debate about who wins in trading. If it’s all about what a club gains and adds to its community then we have added a wonderful asset to the Melbourne Football Club for the next five years.

Hanscombe on the outer?

Good point and I am sympathetic with bananas and everything they stand for. Not only that but one of my favourite movies is Bananas with Woody Allan. However, since we have a dedicated cheese thread over on the other board, there’s no reason why you couldn’t have a designated bananas thread and I’ve never been completely comfortable with the linkage of bananas, the unmentionable and BS. No trolling and only raised it as a subject for debate given that throughout the lifetime of this thread GWS and the unmentionable (who I’ve now mentioned twice in this post) have been inextricably linked and now that the nexus has been broken you might want to take advantage of the situation. And, as Hemmingway has, as always, eloquently put it, the place has hit the wall and a rest is much needed.

Just wondering now that the Greater Western Sydney Giants have purged themselves of their unmentionable by name person (and no doubt, his portly parent), is there any reason why this thread should continue?

Proof that Hogan is now officially a Docker

A look at Dandenong Stingrays and Melbourne Football Club Next Generation Academy prospect Toby Bedford.

The MFC welcomes a new indigenous player to the fold. I just hope that when he makes his debut for the club that we do better than Gold Coast on his debut with them - it was the game against Essendon at the Docklands when the Bombers kicked 15.4.94 to 0.1.1 in the first quarter.

The club has a high opinion of Harry Petty who was tossed to the wolves when not ready in his one AFL game against St Kilda. He was recruited as a key position defender who also played forward in his junior days. With Steven May coming to the club and Jake Lever set to return, it might be worth trying Petty up forward.

Hello. Looks like it’s been a relatively quiet night tonight. People have somewhere to go or is this the calm before the storm?

Holey Moley. I’ve had a long, hard day at work and came out of a meeting to check up on what was going on in the world of Jesse Hogan and realised that today is no different to yesterday, the day before and the day before that ... Today must be GRANDHOGAN DAY!!!

“Gold Coast and Melbourne should finalise a deal on Tuesday that sends Suns defender Kade Kolodjashnij to AAMI Park“. http://m.afl.com.au/news/2018-10-15/trade-wrap-eagles-stand-by-offer-for-kelly The suggestion confirms other reports that the deal for Kolodjashnij will be completed independently of any deal for Steven May.

Didn’t Jake Spencer come from Townsville too?

How does that happen when Hogan is contracted to the end of 2019?

I was reading this article in the Age, and if what Peter Ryan and Michael Gleeson are saying is correct (and both are highly respected in the industry) then it would be very hard to arrive at a different conclusion

I'm not sure if this has been fully played out but I am sure that we being the public are not privvy to all of the machinations of this saga. However, if Jess Hogan remains at the club for 2019 then I would hope that there is a concerted effort on the part of the club to retain him for longer than one season and that will depend on the professionalism of the club and its employees which includes the playing group. On playing ability alone however, we know what he's worth - this is not a good start for Peter Bell and the administration at Fremantle who, based on what I've seen, have conducted themselves deplorably.

I know Solly and he's not a lawyer. He's a dentist.

Q: What's the difference between a lawyer and God? A: God doesn't think he's a lawyer.

Mr. Leg, Remember the bet we made about someone attempting an old third rate lawyer joke? I win. You’re f.....d!

We’re in a restaurant and Redleg is about to order the banana fritters. After he eats it, he’ll be f.....d.

Please stick to the topic folks.

"_____________________ would be open to a trade should the right opportunity come up." Where have I heard this before?
