Whispering_Jack

Congratulations on getting this thread to 200 pages Redleg. As one of the moderators on Demonland, I think our decision to allow it to go beyond the second or third page would be, without doubt, the greatest blunder we've made on the site but now that the damage has been done, please continue ...

Happy? I believe he's a band member. On the left, back row.

I know, I can hear her now from across four sets of fences.

A pet cockatoo. Now fancy that!As a near neighbour, I always thought the loud screechy voice belonged to she who must be obeyed!

They crumble and take spin early

Changes passed in Parliament will make Fawad Ahmed eligible to represent the country in the Ashes series. A chance? Fly him over ASAP I say.

Certainly when discussing whether to sack the coach (this week at least). Anyhow, I'm so taken by the genius of the song that I'm going to use it for my preview of the Collingwood game this week. I'm against it.

Let's face it, many in the media are inflicted with the same negative tunnel vision mindset that a lot of Demonland posters seem to have adopted in recent times. When it comes to anything to do with the club at the moment, they're reminiscent of the great Groucho Marx playing Professor Quincy Adams Wagstaff in the classic movie Horse Feathers:-

... or be gelded for looking sideways if you were a male horse and not a mare.

Does Robbo have any suggestions as to what might happen if we got up and won?

I saw a terrific game of footy on Saturday afternoon. B Grade ammos where they get paid nothing and put in a suitcase more effort than some of the blokes I saw the following day. Come to think of it, my grandson's under 9s ...

Terrific posts goodoil (and with due respect to those who post here, somewhat wasted in this thread). Surprised that Redleg missed your point. We sat through quite a few of those CAC drafts shaking our heads in dismay at what was happening. I rate the Morton, Grimes, Maric, McNamara and Cheney draft as another disaster, all of it generated by our failure to realise the importance of getting the priority draft pick that year. Our wins against the Bulldogs at the Dome and in the Kreuzer Cup were costly as well. How much of our history could have been changed for the better had we list managed properly and chosen a decent coach at the end of that year?

What's this? Why are you talking football on this thread?

Jackson has done more for Melbourne in his four days as CEO than Paul McNamee did in his four months at the club. The strange thing about that is he hasn't done anything. Not even booked his tickets to Wimbledon.

Can you imagine if they had the anti-obesity drug AOD-9604 around in 1977, Elvis could have become a champion Essendon footballer?

It's actually the second leg of a double. First one got up last week.

Sorry but I was educated in northern Georgia.

How many times have you heard the locals playing "Duelling Banjoes"?

The young spinner Ashton Agar will be in England during the time of the tour and could receive a call up if absolutely necessary. And if Julia wants to pick up some votes from the cricket fraternity she should arrange Fawad Ahmed's naturalization ceremony ASAP. I'm underwhelmed by the batting line up, a legacy of no succession plan reminiscent of Daniher's last three seasons at Melbourne. I'm usually an optimist but I reckon by the end of the third test, it's going to be all over red rover. A bit like playing Port Adelaide, Essendon & WCE in successive weeks.

Probably because the two clubs did such a great job promoting the day that it finally became entrenched on the AFL's calendar.There was a time when it was suggested that we promote the Melbourne - Sydney rivalry with a game on the evening of Anzac Day but nothing ever came of it. I think we need to be more proactive in developing such games.

Now that she's retired, she has plenty of time for the CEO gig and furthermore, would make a great running partner for Redleg. I believe this is the big announcement that's going to be made at the club tomorrow. Redleg for Chairman and BC for CEO. There I've beaten Caro for the scoop of the week!

You could be onto something there ... a bit more like Aenid Blyton than Roman epic poetry.

Can what Max writes really be described as "novels"?

Appreciate the thought H_T but given the bagging that our last half a dozen CEO's have received from the media and the public, I'm going to suggest that the club appoints a popular figure for the position who would be completely beyond criticism and who the usual suspects would think twice about before any back stabbing.I'm nominating Black Caviar for CEO.

Now don't sit on the fence Redleg. Tell us what you think about the blood flowing.
