The nearest McClure has come to such a prestigious award was the time he snuck up behind a chicken and was nominated for the Pullet Surprise. (sorry)

Sam McClure just can't help picking at the scab, can he? https://www.theage.com.au/sport/afl/oliver-would-take-a-pay-cut-to-make-his-cats-dream-a-reality-20241010-p5khg2.html

In the end, I decided an image would say more than a mere five words.

Agreed. He was respectful, understood he was a guest at this party, posted quality comments, didn't try to subtly troll us and didn't carry on about his own club. @No. 31 would do well to follow his example.

Trade period runs for ten days. Let's not lose our lunch on the morning of day one.

Day one of the trading period and posters are bemoaning that we haven't yet brought in any players. This happens every year. You'd think people might learn to wait until the trade period is over before panicking.

Get yours right. He played with MFC for four seasons - 1998 to 2001.

Is "buttcheeks" one word or should I spread them?

There are more people coming to Melbourne than leaving these days.

You might be welcome if you ceased talking about Carlton. This is a Melbourne forum. Stop trolling or FRO.

Not Cumming to Melbourne.

If we do draft Hynes, I hope he wears number 57.

Then they'd have Henry, Henry and McHenry who could really harry the opposition.

If we're looking for somebody who spreads very well, I'd nominate Butters (except when it's cold).

Let's keep this classy, people. The proper and polite expression is "an obese rodent's fundament".

Probably not, but it sounds like Oliver's a goner 'ere.

Pfffft. Of course not. It's not as if the MFC ever leaks, no siree.

I love how you always use both names of a person, even if you refer to them numerous times in the one post.

Oliver Twist's mentor was Fagin. Clarry is off to Brisbane for sure!

My opening letter is "G", followed in turn by "e", "t" and "F". You can guess the next five letters.

According to the live lobsters in their tank in the kitchen, it was a miracle.

Peter Daicos was recruited from Collingwood's Metropolitan Zone, as was Peter Moore. It's sheer good luck for the Magpies that their sons are excellent footballers. Luck of the draw. Contrast this with Alwyn Davey's two underwhelming sons at Essendon. Luck of the draw. Melbourne could possibly have Jeff White's and Aaron Davey's sons playing for us. Luck of the draw.

The plot thickens if Pert really was trying to Hawk the Demon.
