GAMEDAY: Rd 23 vs Hawthorn
It's said that revenge is a dish best served cold and they also say that revenge is sweet. So essentially, revenge is just like ice cream.

NON-MFC: Round 23
Look at it as a form of pain relief. You can't eliminate the cause, but you can alleviate the symptoms.

May I humbly suggest the "ignore" option.

Who Will Be Our Next Coach?
Didn't Hird rule himself out? Not that it matters, it's Buckley's job if he so desires it would appear.

Welcome to Demonland: Jai Culley
Tsk tsk. Kookaburras are a protected species and it is against the law to kill them or, your deity of choice forbid, eat them. However, I have to confess that I did try some roasted kookaburra at a dinner party one night. It has a most unusual taste, somewhere between platypus and orange-bellied parrot.

Who Will Be Our Next Coach?
I've just taken a quick trip forward in the time machine and recorded half a dozen of the many questions asked by the panel and the corresponding answers given by unsuccessful applicants. 1 - Where do you see the team finishing in 2026? "I'd say my biggest weakness is not listening". 2 - The position requires a responsible person. "I'm your man. In my last job, when anything went wrong, they said I was responsible". 3 - What is your greatest strength? (30 minutes later ) "I'm very comfortable with silence". 4 - Would you be willing to relocate? "Of course. Where would you like me to sit?" 5 - Why did you leave your last job? "It was something my boss said". What did your boss say? "You're fired". 6 - Can you perform under pressure? "No, but I'll give Bohemian Rhapsody a go".

PREGAME: Rd 23 vs Hawthorn
Oh alright, if nobody else can be bothered. May in for Adams (omitted) and Sharp in for Windsor (injured) as widely predicted. Luke Bruest Breust has announced that he won't be going around again next year.

I hope Kalani isn't disheartened by Jobe's inclusion. We don't want a flat White.

If Buckley's comments are a case of divan intervention, you'd have to say sofa so good.

What's Collingwood ever done for Melbourne?
I'm surprised you don't remember Wayne, who wore #13. This from Demonwiki: The fiery winger played in both of Collingwood's 1977 Grand Finals, but was swapped to Melbourne at the end of the next season with John Dellamarta and Phil Carman, in exchange for Ross Brewer and cash. Once he arrived at Melbourne, Gordon was used in a variety of positions but struggles with a knee injury and Hodgkin's Disease was restricted him three games in his first season. A regular in 1980 and the first half of 1981, a ruptured spleen in the Round 13 match with Footscray kept him out for the rest of the season. Gordon didn't play another senior game, but appeared in the Reserves during 1982 and 1983, before collapsing with a heart issue in the Round 19, 1983 curtain-raiser. Six weeks later he passed away from a heart attack after a game of tennis, aged just 29 years old.

What's Collingwood ever done for Melbourne?
Henry Coles was a useful rover/goalsneak. He was no shrinking violet as this extract confirms: In 1977 Coles was twice suspended for two matches, for striking John Pitura of Richmond and Lorenzo Serafini of Fitzroy.[3] Coles played his first and only game for Victoria in 1978, against the ACT.[3] Just nine days later, when Coles was playing his 100th VFL game, against his former club Collingwood, he was reported and in the end suspended for verbally abusing umpire Bill Deller.[3] The 1978 season ended up being the high point of Coles's career, as he finished the season having played 21 matches and kicking 33 goals, thereby winning Melbourne's leading goalkicker award for the season.[2] Coles' career deteriorated from 1978 onwards, playing only four games in 1979 and seven games in his final season of 1980. His VFL career ended in disgrace when he was fined $600 and suspended for a week after getting into a fight with his captain-coach, Carl Ditterich.[4] He played his last game for Melbourne in round 18 against North Melbourne.

His plea to the umpire for a free kick for holding the ball went unrewarded. (* awaits reaction while munching popcorn finger food)

Clarry's wearing the hooped affair of his childhood club, Mooroopna. Geelong just copied the design.

Not required as they already have a digital image of the digital offence.

2025 MRO & Tribunal
There are three possible conclusions to be drawn. 1 - Smith is auditioning for a role in the upcoming movie "Crouching Lion, Hidden Finger". 2 - MRO referred it to ARC and their review is complete. It's a behind. 3 - Proof that prostate health checking may be achieved with a Bloods test.

Brad Green and the current board
I find that ignoring Caro and her ilk are much better for my health than allowing what they write/say to angry up my blood.

Trade Targets
Whispers that Ollie Henry might be put on the trade table by his second club, Geelong. Not sure I'd be all that keen. He'll probably end up at West Coast in return for pick one plus Harley Reid.

Goodness me no, I've never been a member of any law enforcement agency. I'm a Doctor as it happens and it is my professional opinion that you would benefit greatly from a full course of these.
