Thanks very much for that...I didn't even think to look under training times (thick as two short planks am I)

Thanks for asking...he's started running (but the shock of that gave him a touch of bursitis) and he had his first kick last Thursday...so coming along very nicely. He should be able to resume full training late April or early May.

Saty, do you have any idea what time the Casey match at Goschs will kick off? I did a quick search of the MelbourneFC site and couldn't find anything.

Fantastico!! Thanks for that info... do you happen to know what the kick off time might be? (I should probably look it up myself I suppose)

Who needs teams? The less information I have, the better I usually go... don't like to overthink things ;-)

Unfortunately we are without car (flying down), so Casey may be a bridge too far. Will put it to the boy depending on what public transport options are like.

Damn! We can't make it down from Sydney until Thursday afternoon and my son was hoping we could catch a training session :-(

Is there likely to be training on Good Friday? Has that been the case in the past?

No one seems to have noticed Jesse's tapping of his fingers on the desktop? It was clearly morse code, and to these old ears when decoded it was "I'm gone" repeated over and over. Also, if you play the club song backwards at 53.8rpm, "Jesse's off to Freo" can be heard over the general static.

Reactivated and tips locked in...hoping for a top 8 finish this year.

I thought it was a winger standing on his head.

Essentially it's flagrant disregard for her employers...the fans are the ones who provide her with her income.

I'm pretty sure you'll like it a lot... very Stones like in its musical format. Great rock with some nice real RnB (as opposed to what passes as supposed RnB these days).

It's having a go at the whiners who always complain about these commentators hating the MFC and never having a good thing to say about the MFC (as recently as last Sunday's game). Here they are making very reasonable assessments of where the club is heading, so that, in my opinion, must grate on some of those who love to hate the likes of Derm, King and Dunstall (who I have often heard praising the MFC, while others seem to experience selective deafness) etc. The post is not directed at any individuals... just the victim attitude that so many MFC supporters seem to have developed.

This must come as a major disappointment for those who have been crying out about half of those cited above hating the Dees and never having a good thing to say about the club.

So that's 791 more members required to surpass our round 1 membership record of 32, 451.

I don't mind what the Ox said re Jesse's kicking... it may have given him the incentive to fix the problem quickly and that may well have been the Ox's intention.

He was tested after the Saints game and found to have traces of Meldrumium in his system?

Get with the times!! He's marrying Jack as soon as the plebiscite goes through.

Maybe he was returning to his days as keyboardist with The Strawbs (You Don't Get Paid On the Part of the Union)?

I think it was, but certainly not by design. But in saying that, it was clear that both players were going hard at the ball and only had eyes for the ball.

I agree with what you're saying Macca... I was more expressing my personal disappointment :-) However, if you want brass at its finest in a rock n roll context, try this on for size...

The first Chicago Transit Authority album was brilliant... they were a real contrast to Blood Sweat and Tears who were a very smooth sounding outfit... CTA at that time had a guitarist who was more influenced by Hendrix than any jazz greats and consequently the sound had a real edge to it. It was a shame what they became though.

I actually preferred The Nice to ELP, although ELP was a pretty amazing mix of super musicians (Palmer from Atomic Rooster and Lake from King Crimson). He was a superb musician and to my mind far more interesting than Rick Wakeman who I suppose was always going to be the obvious comparison. I wonder who we'll be losing next week?

Volumes as in pints, litres, gallons?
