The team sheets would have to be produced in landscape format!

I would have thought that a basket case like Essendon should have been given Qatar.

Of the warriors on D’land, there are some, Who take issue with young Jacko’s mum, Family loyalty it seems, is seen as a weakness, Their gnashing of teeth, and the onset of bleakness, Say this transgression will haunt them for years to come.

Surely having opinions and insights from someone like Healy, who has not aligned himself with the club for some time, is going to be more valuable than having insights from someone who still identifies themself as connected to the club?

Or, perhaps, Frank Spencer?

Must have been one hell of a horse to win carrying both Childs and yourself!!

Ok, mine came from an episode of the Beverly Hillbillies.

Fritsch to kick 60+ and lock down an AA spot.

I never got into their albums, but my “awful band” comment was referring to their live performance that I saw at London’s Roundhouse. Maybe my opinion was a result of all of the mandied out ‘husks’ that I had to keep dodging as they were falling over themselves throughout the show, but I just couldn’t get into them at all.

Me too… it’s on their early album Gorilla. ”Hearing from you later Casanova, on horn... yeah! Digging General de Gaulle on accordion... really wild, General! Thank you, sir Roy Rogers on Trigger”

Viv Stanshall was a genius!! I was fortunate enough to see him a few times when he had a residency at a pub in London’s Fulham in 1975. 50p entry and he had musicians like Steve Winwood and the sax player from the Dark Side of the Moon album (can’t recall his name), playing with him. He would begin his show by opening a French horn case full of bottles of cider, that he would consume over the course of the evening at which point he’d be on the verge of collapse. Sadly, a few years later in 1995, he died in a fire aged just 51. There is a movie in which he appears, that is based on one of his writings that had been serialised on radio, called Sir Henry At Rawlinson End… it’s a brilliant piece of absurdist humour. The Bonzos also appeared briefly in the Beatles Magical Mystery Tour movie, performing their song Death Cab For Cutie.

The Hard Ons are still going around, now with Tim Rodgers on vocals. One of the guitarists in my band, Ged Corben, was originally with the Lime Spiders and later, with his brother, formed the Cruel Sea. I’ve never been much into metal, but have a lot of time for Ministry. Over the years I’d got to see Lemmy with Hawkwind (awful band), the Sensational Alex Harvey Band, the 101ers (Joe Strummers first band before The Clash), Kilburn and the High Roads (Ian Drury’s first band) and numerous others, but the show that stands out most for me, was getting to see Tim Buckley live at Knebworth in the UK… on a bill with The Allman Brothers and others.

All we need now is someone with three buttocks.

If he’s quick, we could give him the lengthy nickname of Smoke Stack Lightening.

Nice tautology!

Wouldn’t you have been better off checking in the pinned post here in this very forum?

I’d be going the Love Schache route.

Obviously not Schache then, as we’ve known about that possibility for a while now… who do you consider to be the surprise?

Yes, but he didn’t select himself to play in those games, and he had been showing reasonable form at Casey. Now that he’s getting an opportunity somewhere else, we should be wishing him the best; even by playing at Casey he still contributed to our club’s success last year.

Classy… not!

No, you give the ball to Spargo, and when all of the opposition players have move to a position about 30 metres out , he lays it off to May who slams it up the middle.

Not really. In 2020 when he signed, his form dropped a bit (although not to a ridiculous degree), then in 2021 he had his 4th best possession stat for his career and 3rd best hit outs, and then he only played 6 games this year, so it’s a bit harsh to include this year’s stats.

So, what you’re essentially saying is that Victorian teams all get to play each other in their own back yard (except for the arduous trip down to Geelong), while the rest on the teams in Conf 2, get the pleasure of traveling back and forward all over the country, playing each other in Sydney, Perth, Adelaide, and Brisbane. Sounds fair.

I’d say most of those posting such comments are most likely ‘projecting’.
