That’s one hell of a list! Is that in order of favourites from 1 to 500? I don’t think I could manage that (in fact, I know I couldn’t), so well done you! I haven’t read it closely, but my main disagreement would be your rating of Fleetwood Mac who to my mind ceased to exist after Peter Green left… while the two songs you cited were big money spinners (chart toppers), I’d rank Albatross, Oh Well Parts 1&2, The Green Manalishi and Black Magic Woman from Peter Green’s Fleetwood Mac, well ahead of them as songs.

Fixed it for you.

Yeah, I just noticed that. I’d reached my quota of quotes and blown a foofa valve.

Can I quote you on that?

<sarcasm>Ok, I’m going to hit you with my greatest insult: I bet you’ve just had your 10th shot, libtard!</sarcasm>

What disturbs me is that it’s the press who get hold of this news (by whatever means), and they use it as click bait on social media such as Facebook, because they know that it’s going to result in massive numbers of hits and it will bring out all of the homophobes in droves! All it does is add to the reasons that anyone, let alone an ex footballer (of any code), will remain silent about their sexuality… and I’m not talking about just in the sense of telling the world…it’s very possible they will be afraid to even tell those close to them. There is far too much encouragement of hate in social media! I’d love to see gay players, rather than announcing themselves via press releases or whatever means was used in this case, just rock up to club events (even the Brownlow) with their partner, without making any announcement.

Hey PF, not footy related, but…how are you quoting people in your posts? You’ve gone from having the quote appearing twice in your posts, to the quote appearing three times in the post I’m now quoting?

I’m with you… like for like!!

Friday is my birthday gig, with many of my usual invited guests hopefully sitting in (Richard Bergman, Bob Spencer, Mick Daley, Terry Serio and George Washingmachine among others), so it should be a bit of a blast. I thought I’d also post a reminder that I have set up a link to PayPal if anyone feels that they’d like to donate to Cancer research as well as to my birthday bliss (a 50% split); I’m treating my portion as recompense for my cat herding duties, whilst organising these gigs over the years! I believe some very generous soul from these forums has made a donation, but my guess as to who it might have been, was way off the mark… regardless, thank you so much, whoever it was!! Much love to you! For anyone else that may also feel so inclined, just follow this link: www.paypal.me/LosTromeosJug

Time to turn on those ‘Sarcasm Detectors’.

He reminds me more than a little of Maynard; although I have to say I enjoyed the flash back to the old World Championship Wresting, when he lifted Langdon above his head…all we needed was Jack Little on commentary. Both players had a good laugh about it… the security guard however, looked a bit unsure of how it would end.

You really ARE the ‘king of knee [censored] reaction’… can you honestly, hand on heart, tell us that Oliver was performing up to standard over his last couple of seasons with the Dees? He was not invested at all, and yes, he has done well at the Giants (as has Trac at the Suns), but that’s not really a surprise, as it’s far from unusual for players to be reenergised when they move to a new environment. Windsor, Langford and Lindsay will improve, but to expect them to contain midfields of the like that Freo, Sydney, and even Carlton have, is a little unfair. We are lacking in midfield depth, yes, but I’m happy to see these guys given games and a chance to develop against the best. As for next week, I have no idea what changes are likely to be made, but it will be interesting to see whether Jiath and Latrelle Picket survive the cut… Jiath may make way for AMW, and Latrelle for ? (probably too early for Mathews to get a run).

So…you’re saying that he’s coming to the Dees then?

The Gatorade Giants, you mean?

Fixed it for you 😉

No problem, it’d be pretty boring if we all agreed on everything. I rated mine based on the fact that Gawn played all but 12 minutes of game time and in the wash up was the most influential in our winning the game. I then ranked Hall because aside from scoring a clutch of goals, he had a big influence around the ground and kept the Saints in the game with his individual contribution. JVR’ contribution speaks for itself. I rated Sharp ahead of Steele, purely because his contribution in the last quarter was what got us across the line. Stats and rankings are all well and good.. I just base mine on what I see 🤣

Yesterday was the start of fortnightly chemo cycle #6… pretty uneventful I guess, with my weight stabilising at 10kg below normal. One positive was that my CEA marker in my bloods, that measures the tumour’s activity, was down from 8 at the beginning of my last cycle, to 7.2 this cycle; what is considered the normal range is somewhere between 0 and 5, so I’m certainly heading in the right direction. Of course this doesn’t give any indication as to what is happening with the traces in my lungs and liver, so I’ll just have to wait for my high contrast CT scan’s results, and that is booked in to take place on April 15th. As I usually get zero winks of sleep on the first night of each cycle (thank you steroids), I decided to upload a lot of my photographs (not footy related) to my Instagram photography account, so if you would be so kind as to take a look (and even Follow me), so that I don’t feel like this effort was all for naught, here’s a link for you to follow: https://www.instagram.com/timfleming_photography

Is this game getting a live stream, and if so, on which service?

I reckon that they got the votes from our game very wrong. Gawn should have got 10, Hall 8, JVR 6, and although Steele was very good, I would have had Sharp ahead of him, due to the fact that he pretty much won us the game with his last quarter effort.

I certainly wouldn’t want their job, knowing the abuse they cop.

I agree that was a bad decision, but I doubt it was deliberately called because we are the MFC.

Maybe, like the players, they’re a bit rusty. Also, they now have a few new rules that they have to get their heads around. I refuse to believe that they are somehow under orders to disadvantage our club… that’s one conspiracy theory that doesn’t sit well with me (I’m not saying that you are a conspiracy theorist DemonOx, but there are those who definitely fit the bill) I’m of the opinion that they probably aren’t paid enough, considering the level of abuse that is directed at them.

I think that Let Me Entertain You was meant to be played after our first goal and all subsequent goals would have just the goal scorer’s choice played.

God Awful Call

I thought that too until I had a listen to the chosen song… too much autotune (not enough cowbell)… but I loved JVR’s choice of Rock the Casbah, which got plenty of air time!
