I'm not asking you to Cheers

Then of course there is stuff which is quite factual...but some choose to observe the confidence of the person concerned, or simply the name of the source. It's up to you what YOU actually believe.

It might be distasteful...but some things are said off the record . They can be blunt...and seemingly fly in the face of 'official statements' . A reason I seldom take much notice of officialdom is because it is a construct. Officially... it's a recent course of direction that Jesse leaves the club. There was plenty of discussion away from the public eye and certain circles knew not only of his imminent move but that this was likely as of about 6-7 months back. As indeed was his near departure at eos2O17 . There are still elements that may never break the surface, but they are there. Some comments made to me by people of the club , people who know the club and other contributors certainly paint interesting stories , not just of Jesse. Am I surprised ? No, because clubs are made up of characters that suffer the human condition. Stuff happens. Much of it irrelevant to the play of the day. Also...as people, club officials may not always share the same opinions. All in all...I'm not all that surprised. There's very few Saints in the province of Demons. Anyhow.... he's someone else's job to deal with. Not ours.

Be nice if the MFC website reflected current comings and goings

It really is a 'no brainer'. Now I'm truly confused as to how Wallace is.... especially as he'd qualify !!

Funny in a fashion that you put it in those terms. I think that's precisely what many have done. Some wear a different glass to others. It's very possible we see different things.

You had me at "Wallace is confused"

Who....are ....you ? and what have you done with the ( here fellow readers I fall short of adequate description. I was leaning towards...the 'q u e e r one' but in this day and age that has a newer meaning that's tran-scended its original...just like Fred's gay old time...but then who knows ) Monster Jam.... sounds a horrid concoction. Does one spread it on toast I wonder.

It then fall upon us to seas the day OD as Red has obviously sqidded his duty . Mr Leg is confusing the seasuns surely.

Yeah yeah.. having a whale of a time...we get it....sheeesh

No one thought to ask the obvious ? What's his nic ?

Now Wrecker....sorry my friend you'll just have to go right back to the beginning ( its a very good place to start ?) . There's no way to fully appreciate the madness insanity drivel illumination insight pixelated-profanities humour, without so

Has your cellar run dry Ernest ? Is this the cause of such maudlin introspectivity ? My god man.. start drinking again !!

If we need new posters...they will manifest. Bananas You see...if you bold it.....they will come

Thanks for having absolutely no understanding of the notion described. Bless you. Indeed there is NO curse in the sense of anything resembling 3 witches at Halloween or a Haitian Voodoo ceremony. The curse as it were is simply the result of our endeavours to date since the great man left the club. But in effect we have been 'cursed' by abandoning the very thing that made us great. Those elements are now being re-instated. They are our new 'rule of club" It is no accident that we are becoming more successful by being more like Norm...None what so ever. ( imho ) edit: need to further explain.

I know its stretching things....but some recurring themes.... First Australian ( indigenous ) .. Oldest known peoples on earth First Aussie FootyClub Melb.....Aussie Rules.....Oldest documented football code in world First recorded game....played by Melbourne Grammar....same school May ends up at !! First Indigenous AFL capt. Bought his Mum a house. Its been impressed upon me , especially in the last week that this club, our club, is a club defined ( now ) by behaviours. It will go to some length to frame many of the ( recent ) actions by the MFC and how we intend to do business on, and off, the field. More and more as I see the club re-emerge it occurs to me we are far from being cursed by Norm Smith , we are being guided by him. It's taken this long to get to the core of who and what we are again. This lad, can't wait to put the jumper on and do it proud. I like this go Dees

There's a number of things which I must confess im really impressed by at the moment with the MFC. Despite the club rhetoric ( aka public spin for fast-fooders ) there was to Freddy and all of his game-observant footy mates a glaring deficiency in our defence. Ill give Oscar his due, he did his role quite well...but there was another role which we had no one for. And there not being a fully conscripted defence opened us up. When we bled we haemorrhaged ..badly for 4-6 goals at a time. Game killers So three things in this instance: Identifying, the role Identifying a player Getting said player Three for three !!!

already in the gym....he's keen as Mustard... First real opportunity to get some work into his legs too.

Jaded's comment had a context. One you plainly ignored or dont get. I.e The reference was to his Football. He IS after an AFL player of particular ability ( the realisation is another thing ). In that light he has decided he'd rather play footy at "home" with some "mates" in front of 'family" yep they're the three things I always look for in an elite player. The absolute irony is that the whole idea of ( Mfc ) Esprit de Corps IS ...playing with mates, who are your football family and the MCG is HOME. So his priorities are his and his in kind, but for us they're threes strikes he's out.

Please explain your version of reality...then I will mine.

I reckon in about 2 years we'll look back and think . The Dees were geniuses. Edit..I already do. Well done

A few changed tunes along the way. That's fine. Jesse's happy enough.. I'm happy enough. All good

He's knows jack.....( and not any player )
