Bitter but optimistic

Exit Weid. Enter Schache. The world get [censored] sillier everyday!!!!!

Baker is an interesting one. You'd reckon if we were going to delist him ( which was generally considered likely )we would have done it by now.

If we give 13 for Grundy then we have been royally screwed right up the [censored] !

No Kev, genteel retirement for me. In fact, I'm currently in Bangkok and am in the privileged position of being guided around by the mayor himself - none other than@Sir Why You Little !!

Now you're being rude Luci !!!

Nothing wrong with being spoiled and entitled Red. I've made a profession of it.

I was being considerate of those subordinate on the social structure Luci! I didn't want to make the social and moral superiority of we genteel folk from Romsey too obvious.

You see Cranbourne as an upgrade WCW !!!! Remarkable !!!!!

What the [censored] has leadership got to do with it ? We've got good leaders! We want Grundy to play good footy . Simples !!!

Bobo , I have taught aboriginal (Koorie was the accepted term then)kids in both high schools and KODE schools. I have life examples of every point in that article that both support it and deny it. High horsed support of the oppressed Koorie kid is just as irrelevant as higher horsed support of the notion that Koorie kids fail despite all the help they are given There are no solutions that fit all cases. In my experience, the notion of family or kin is far more important than the notion of being black or Koorie or aboriginal. This of course complicates the matter even further. My point is, avoid generalisations, the matter is far more complex.

Hey Frog, how's it going? I read your recent post about your electric wheelchair. You know if I was in Westralia , I'd let the tyres down!

I use a parmesan/pecorino blend on The Manor's signature spag bol !

Sadly no Red. As I've been unable to garner support for our new training facility etc to be located at Romsey, I doubt that would work.

Beware dc, nothing is sacrosanct these days!

So let's bring in a nineteenth team to prop up for years!

Don't be smug dc, the AFL will find a way to tax your gorgonzola.

Not only that dc, it will cost the AFL a [censored] load of cash! Get ready for a jump in the price of a Footy Record and pies etc for the 2023 season !!!!!!!

Can't help but love the sh it show that is Essendon. I was hoping to see a premiership live this year and was gutted when it didn't happen But [censored] me , the goings on at Essendrug continue to ease my pain. You couldn't script it - it's a thing of beauty and delight. High fantasy ! If it was a tv soap opera you'd never leave room. Just wait for the next episode. 2h I for one would like to take this moment to thank Thorburn for his contribution to our club as CEO - it was a truly glorious time, as we didn’t lose a single game during his tenure. 2h I for one would like to take this moment to thank Thorburn for his contribution to our club as CEO - it was a truCacanly glorious time, as we didn’t lose a single game during his tenure. 2h I for one would like to take this moment to thank Thorburn for his contribution to our club as CEO - it was a truly glorious time, as we didn’t lose a single game during his tenure. c 2h I for one would like to take this moment to thank Thorburn for his contribution to our club as CEO - it was a truly glorious time, as we didn’t lose a single game during his tenure. 2h I for one would like to take this moment to thank Thorburn for his contribution to our club as CEO - it was a truly glorious time, as we didn’t lose a single game during his tenure.

That is a fair dinkum power spew! Pity he wasn't upright - may have Brocken a distance record or two.

I wish the world had more people with your decency and compassion Luci.

He played some good footy at Casey in the second half of the season. When in the ruck he showed some composure in tight situations and was able to get an effective kick or handball away. Whether this will translate to the top level is the question but , as he is under contract, hopefully we will get the opportunity to see.

Was there any real hint or indication of who we're chasing, apart from Reg Grundy?

Go on - get into it! Two sheilas having a catfight - great entertainment.

Didn't he play a couple of games down back for the Dogs? As I recall he was at least useful in that role. As a forward ....... well he makes a good defender.

Not a lot of interest from the comments above. Good solid player from what I've seen. Experienced and has 5 or 6 years left in him. Could be the other winger we've been looking for.
