Righteous suggestions one and all there, hardtack and I couldn't argue with any of them. I'd also nominate B!tch, Sway, Monkey Man, Moonlight Mile, Rocks Off, Rip This Joint, Loving Cup, Waiting On A Friend, Winter, Beast Of Burden, Tumbling Dice, Let It Loose, Street Fighting Man, Jumping Jack Flash and Stray Cat Blues. *phew* I'd better stop there. It's a big field!

J. Patton endorses this comment.

Cheers Neil! Strong contender for the best song the Stones ever did.

This is my favourite book:

It would appear that General Patton has a Major Problem with his Private Parts. Would Hawthorn consider Corporal Punishment?

Three games for us following 25 for Carlton and 49 for Western Bulldogs. Cook kicked a total of 139 goals in his 77 games. Carlton drafted him at pick 2 so clearly rated him highly, but he was definitely no star.

Is there an echo in here?

True, but he was the first English Captain to tour Australia!

Not if he's not good enough. The only relevant aspect is his football talent. For the record, I'd be rapt if we take him and he becomes a star but I wouldn't be basing that decision on his lineage. I think it's a trap to be blinded by fond memories of Jeff and hoping for a romantic outcome.

If he's good enough, he's good enough and if not, he won't get picked up by Melbourne. Don't forget that none of the 18 clubs were impressed enough to draft him when they all had the opportunity. The fact that he's Jeff Farmer's son is completely irrelevant and doesn't justify blind optimism.

Might 58er be thinking of Lucas Cook?

To put this into perspective, you have to keep in mind that this poster also insists that Trump won the election, COVID-19 is a hoax/no worse than the flu and that there was no riot at the Capitol building this week. That's not "higher plane". That's a plane that lacks a pilot and has never got off the ground.

Ryan Ayres? Warren Ayres was a gun cricketer, mainly for Melbourne, and holds the all-time record for most runs scored in District/Premier Cricket as well as playing 40-odd First Class matches for Victoria.

Trump cost Republicans the Presidency, the Senate and the House. The orange narcissist actually did it. He made America great again.

The English language is a beautiful thing old dee, and beautiful things deserve to be treated properly. I'll happily confess to being a pedant but take offence at being termed a "nazi".

Can I also point out to Bdh that it's "you're" (short for you are) welcome, not "your". Don't mention it.

* Hear, hear. Also, it it true that NASA planned its moon missions based on an Apollo Creed?

Well put, Mr. Hemingway. Could it be said that a creed is an organisation's game plan?

Creed is good.

"The love of money is the root of all evil" is the whole saying and is actually a Biblical quotation.

You may have missed the intent of my smart alec post, Luci. Five hundred million dollars?

Can't be criticised for that decision. $500million is a LOT of money in anyone's language.

Stuart Spencer wasn't from Tasmania!

Q: What did the dead blues singer have inscribed on his gravestone? A: "Well, I didn't wake up this morning."

My brother reckons that "dropkick" is a shortened version of the rhyming slang "dropkick and punt", which puts quite a different complexion on the use of the word as a descriptor of somebody.
