Remember Buckley turned his back on Brisbane and missed out on three premierships. He plays for Collingwood and they lose in September; they have a tradition of doing so. Melbourne has a bright future. If Judd's good fortune is to continue as it has in the past, he'll come to Melb. not Collingwood.

I listened to it on the family radiogram with the twelve inch speaker. I was twelve years old at the time and I can tell you it's certainly been a long time...

Travis Johnstone is a delight to watch. He has one of the smartest football brains. Keep him.

>>There is only club with a vacancy. If he is going elsewhere >>he must have/be white anting someone! Not necessarily Diesel. Some coaches are now being white-anted - by their club's committee. All Voss has to do is keep a respectable distance. Let the pieces fall into place. Ask yourself. Who is on the skids and who can afford to get rid of their present coach? I doubt that Melbourne has the money to pay for him and his professional team of assistants. Still, money is no guarantee of success.

...if you detected a note of hesitancy with Voss, it's because he's going elsewhere... He's not going to white ant anyone.

Bush Demon. See S.Cross @2.00 pm for live... though it's never been clear in the past until the last moment when it usually goes live. And I live 110 kms from the Big Smoke. I expect to be watching it live on what used to be "Channel 8"

Calabrese. Call it the prevailing culture at the club or curse, it amounts to the same thing. We've been wandering lost like the jews in the desert but they found their way out after forty years. We keep repeating failure. For us, we just set forth into the barren sands from the Junction Oval each week. Victories are merely a mirage to lift the spirit of the faithful. What would be the point in playing again in Sept. - we'd only be let down again. The Club's best hope is the projected shift from the Junction Oval and the passing of time that will see the the old brigade make way for those like McLean (Captain,) Sylvia (Vice Captain,) Jones, Newton, Bartram, Frawley etc. The young bloods with hunger for victory. You have to admire the foundation that Daniher has built under trying conditions. Zen-like he has strived to find a path through the sands but to no avail. Passion is cheap and usually outsmarted. We've tried that. For me, I'd prefer the one to save us to be a master strategist. I couldn't care less if he was even uninterested in the Demons so long as he was all-consumed by conquering.

We haven't won a flag WITH Neitz much less without him. That blessed time won't come till the Junction Oval is history along with Neitz, White, Yze & the rest of the old guard and the long serving coach Daniher. I can remember Neitz & Schwartz playing in the Under 19s and looking forward with confidence :-) A generation of footballers has now passed... I like what I see in the youth at the Club but in the intervening years I have become somewhat jaded in my outlook. As it happens I believe Daniher has served the Club well and laid a good foundation. Forget about Neitz and premiership in the same sentence.

There's a lot to be said for backing a winning horse. Good luck follows some and eludes others. Must be given serious consideration...Daniher has laid a good foundation.

>>Which reminds me, what do you get when you cross a magpie with a seagull? I dunno. What do you get from a cross bred magpie/seagull ? Maybe a one-eyed, one-legged potato chip thief.
