Whispering_Jack

Are you a friend of the Tremeloes, Mr OD?

As a long time fan of the 49ers (whatever happened to Candlestick Park?) I'm gratified to see they're opening the season in Demon colours!!!

Tom ...linson?

Changing my name to Whispering Steve?

Some of us around these parts attended the Crown Casino complex on Friday night but how many ventured out to Rosehill Gardens last night to attend what aught to be the pinnacle of the year to all true No T$ No B$ devotees - the unveiling of the winner of the 2015 Sheedy Medal? So just in case anybody might have missed it, here are the top 10 placegetters (well, actually the top 11) and, standing out like dog's balls, is absence of the million $ man:- 1. Heath Shaw (117) 2. Adam Treloar (98) 3. Callan Ward (91) 4. Jeremy Cameron (82) 5. Stephen Coniglio (75) 6. Devon Smith (73) 7. Dylan Shiel (72) 8. Ryan Griffen (64) 9. Shane Mumford (60) 10. Toby Greene, Nick Haynes (59)

I hope the experience is therapeutic and doesn't cause any dramatic changes to BBO's sartorial excellence and grooming.

Speaking as one of those shifty [censored] lawyers, I reckon that book is inadmissible in evidence on the grounds that it was published in 2009. The definitive publication of the era for the North Fitzroy push in the 60s would have been Truth.

Hipsters didn't frequent North Fitzroy in the 60s, let alone live there in those days. It was still all working class and indigenous peoples.

Ask him about the game at Waverley against Fitzroy in 1979.

For OD, that an rigor mortis are practically the same thing. In his case it was never undiscovered.

If you blokes are worried about things being quiet on this thread then perhaps it's time for me to revive my threat of closing it down again? This would ensure that RL comes out of his apparent self-induced stupor and also could scotch those rumours about Old Dee having reached the stage where rigor mortis has set in.

Now what's this all about? Saints of St. Kilda

From what I saw of him in the televised NAB Championships games from last year I would put him more in the Sylvia category as a player than a Darling. The word on him was that he had put in a lot of work to shed weight and build up his endurance in order to make it possible for him to eventually play in the midfield and based on his carnival and TAC Cup form (I didn't see him in the latter so I'm going on reports), he succeeded in that although he'll probably start as a half forward and work his way into the midfield over time. Of course, we all hope that he brings a different attitude to the game than Col who let himself down in that regard although the culture of all football clubs is much different nowadays. But a Jack Darling, he's not.

I think it's fair to say that for the first time since this thread started that the MFC's stocks are higher than the Australian Test XI's.

I hate flat tracks.

Rogers really wasted a perfect opportunity for a big score and I guess I'll have to wait for the replay to comment on Clark and Voges. Starc would be a bad loss in the second innings.

Even more distressing is this item:

Redleg, you might be interested to know that according to the Geelong Advertiser, no return date has been set for Geelong "star" Mitch Clark who is sttill battling a calf injury.

After tonight that would be the second most disgraceful display from umpires you've seen - surely?

You can come to my place and watch those gripping final 3.5 minutes. I haven't wiped the game off yet.

In that case you should detour and finish your world tour with a visit to fabulous Darwin for the as Weagles game.

Our injury list was longer in 2009 and we were not only accused of tanking - we were charged with it and found guilty of employing a person who joked about tanking.So please, treat all discussion on this subject as deadly serious or you could cost the club $½m in fines and get the CEO and football manager sacked and Roosy banned.

Wow. Starc has just turned Clarke's declaration into a touch of genius 2/1 after the first over.

Do you think we would enforce the follow on if we had the chance? Can't see it myself.
